“Spectacular, one-of-a-kind experience, perfect location!”
This may be the very best location in Monaco! The boat is straight at the entrance to Port Hercules. Even closer than the supposedly 500-million-dollar yacht behind it. It is a one-of-a-kind location for racing events like Formula E or Formula 1. You are gently rocked by the sea. You wake up to the sound of the event. You have a stellar view from the deck. Look around and see the Prince's Palace, the Monte Carlo Casino, the mountains, the boats, the high street. There is a fridge. The water is hot. The boat is clean. Water kettle. Coffee machine. 24 hour grocery shop just across the main street. Safe, high-end location where you can leave your staff on the boat without locking. It comfortably hosts 2 people. Or 3 with some overlap. 4 also possible but more crowded. The owner is friendly and helpful. Special requests are possible given his knowledge of local people. Open to late checkout when possible. Overall one of the best experiences in a life full of travel! Mornings and evenings on the deck on a sunny day are a thrill. And the most famous sites are literally around.

“Unusual and welcoming accommodation in the middle of Monaco”
We stayed on the San Miguel for five nights to attend the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique and to experience as much of Monaco/Monte Carlo as we could fit in. Prior communication with our host Olivier was excellent and he met us at his boat at the arranged check-in time. He speaks excellent English and he has a lot of useful local knowledge that we greatly appreciated. First impressions are that the pictures accompanying the listing are accurate and that the boat is a characterful four berth motor yacht having a traditional varnished wooden interior. She also has an amazing location in Port Hercule facing the Grand Prix circuit and just a short stroll from everything that this amazing city has to offer. The boat is warm and dry, welcoming and large enough for a couple for a few days; she also has a flybridge on which we'd take breakfast and have a drink in the evening. There are very effective electric radiators for chilly nights, enough 240V outlets, a fridge, a Nespresso machine, a kettle, plenty of crockery and cutlery and enough space to dine in the saloon if it's wet outside, although we did not do any cooking while we were there. All towels, bedding and toiletries are provided. There's no air conditioning but there are enough doors, windows and hatches to provide sufficient airflow to cool the interior. If you want a fun and quirky way to experience all that Monaco has to offer, then this is an ideal choice; we had a fantastic time and we'll definitely return.

“An opportunity to experience a different way of life!”
It was an amazing experience! Living off a boat (parked in a harbour of course;)), in winter, surrounded by all the necessary amenities ie 24 hr carrefour express, pharmacy, pizza and everything Monaco had to offer, all within walking distance (right opposite the Prince’s car collection, Monaco Ville to the right, Monte Carlo to the left). Sitting out on the chilly deck in January sipping hot coffee watching the sunrise. Not something you can do everyday. I loved it! The boat is not fancy but it was warm and clean and had everything one would need. Olivier was a great host. There to welcome us and then guided us to our train for Paris.

“Great place to stay in the heart of Monaco!”
The boat is located right in the centre of the port so easy access walking and transport for everything! The port is quiet and the boat was small but comfortable. There were restaurants all around us and a supermarket across the road as well as the cleanest public toilets we’ve ever used! Dylian and Oliver were very helpful and easy to contact.

“A delightfully different holiday experience.”
Olivier and Dylian were fantastic hosts and communicated with us throughout the process. Olivier met us at the boat when we arrived and gave us a tour. The boat is right in the middle of the marina so you get a fantastic view of Monaco and the super/mega yachts nearby. The accomodation was very clean and comfortable and close to town where there were plenty of shops and restaurants. We stayed with our two teenage girls who really enjoyed the experience.

“Just AMAZING”
We had an amazing stay! Samir greeted us with a warm welcome and showed us everything we needed. The boat was really well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Sleeping was a bit tight with four of us (two over 6ft!), but we expected that. The location was absolutely perfect—right opposite the super yachts, where we spent hours just sitting and watching. At night, the views of Monaco were unbeatable, and the sound of the super cars made it even more special. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and one we’ll never forget! 👏

“Our stay could not have been improved - our host was accommodating far above the call of duty.”
We had specifically requested an early check in which, unfortunately due to a misunderstanding, wasn't available. However, the way our host managed this turned a straightfoward booking into a magical stay. We are already planning a return visit to Monaco and this will be our 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice of a place to stay.

“An unforgettable anniversary stay in the heart of Monaco, with perfect hosts, stunning views, and a magical boat trip fr”
We stayed 5 nights as a family of 4 for our wedding anniversary, and it was honestly one of the best holidays we’ve ever had. The location at Port Hercule is unbeatable — stunning views, everything in Monaco within a short walk, and an unforgettable boat trip right from the harbour! Our incredible hosts, Dylian and Olivier, went above and beyond to make our stay truly special. Perfect location, perfect hosts, perfect memories — we can’t recommend it enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Amazing Monaco Experience!”
The location in Port Hurcule is amazing! It is central to everything you'd want to do in Monaco and Monte Carlo. The two cabins were comfortable to sleep the 3 of us, with lots of storage space. The aft cabin (1 bed) had a toilet and wash stall, the bow cabin (2 beds) also had a toilet. I was quite surprised how quiet they were despite the nearby nightlife. Fridge and sink in the main cabin and plenty of seating on the decks. Captain Olivier took us out for a tour as well. Even if you don't leave the port, you can't beat the location! It was a super experience.

“Fabulous. Highly recommended. Will definitely be back.”
Loved the boat..what a fantastic location. Everything we needed was there and shops and restaurants only a few mins away. Just a perfect place to relax. Views of the Palace at night were stunning from the top deck, not to mention the super yachts. And being so close to the grand prix track was amazing. Host was so helpful too!

“Loved our novel stay on a boat in what was a superb location.”
Loved the location and novelty of accommodation on a boat. It was lovely to have a bottle of Rose in the fridge. Nice touch! Our host greeted us and could not have been more helpful, even carrying suitcases over gang plank for us. We were also allowed to leave our suitcases for day after check out so we could explore Monaco further which was very generous. Overall our host was most flexible with arrangements. :)
