Embarking from Port Hercule or the small port of Fontvieille in the morning, you have four main route options:
Local tour: Roquebrune Cap Ferrat, Menton
This lesser-known – and probably less crowded in high season… – destination is well worth a visit for its hidden coves, accessible only by boat, and impressive coastline views between Monaco and Roquebrune.

This is one of the most popular boat trips, featuring superb coastal views, good restaurants, and calm waters with protected anchorages.
The majestic bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer is a must-see with its old-style villas and lush greenery, while the small gulf of St-Hospice is unique with
its crystal-clear waters and majestic stone trees. Don’t miss the impressive limestone cliffs at La Mala.

and the rock inlets on this scenic sea voyage to Cannes.

the underwater sculptures between the Lérins Islands.
Monaco to St Tropez – 2-hour boat trip

William P. – private client, UK, 2023
” For the second time, we have had an amazing day charter with Charterminute. The boat was incredible for our party of 12 to enjoy all day, and we had a wonderful and attentive crew.
Fairly last minute, we ended up needing a larger boat than expected and Remi was beyond kind with assisting us. He also assisted us with reservations and made sure the entire day was seemless. 10/10 recommend! “
