The official Ports of Monaco information lists 760 berths, fresh water, shore power, fuel, waste services and technical facilities. Its basin-depth range extends from approximately 2.5 metres in parts of the harbour to much deeper water in the outer port.
Port Hercule in Monaco
Port Hercule is Monaco's principal harbour and one of the best-known yachting locations on the Côte d'Azur. The official port operator lists 760 berths and describes the harbour as a deep-water port, with water depths varying considerably between the inner basins and outer harbour.
For Luxury Yacht Guide owners, the attraction is the combination of central Monaco access and mature yacht infrastructure. A yacht between 12 and 23.99 metres does not need the port's extreme deep-water capability, but benefits from the same utilities and professional harbour operation.
Arrival information
The published position is 43°44.1'N, 007°25.8'E. Port Hercule monitors VHF channel 12 around the clock and publishes a maximum harbour speed of 3 knots. Visiting yachts should obtain an assigned berth and current arrival instructions from the port authority rather than relying solely on general harbour information.
Utilities and fuel
Fresh water and electrical supplies are available on quays and pontoons, including 220V and 380V connections. The port also publishes Wi-Fi and fibre options, waste facilities, showers and toilets. Fuel is available on the landing stage.
Waste and technical services
Port Hercule provides arrangements for grey- and black-water disposal and publishes dedicated waste-collection facilities. Private careening and yacht-service operations are located within the harbour, giving visiting owners access to technical support without leaving Monaco.
Luxury Yacht Guide assessment
Port Hercule is most useful to a 12–24 metre owner as a highly serviced central Monaco stop rather than because of its ability to accommodate very large vessels. Berthing demand can be exceptional around major Monaco events, so availability and rates should always be confirmed directly with the official booking system.
Owners of larger yachts within this site's range can use the 23 Metre Yachts Under 24 Metres guide when comparing yacht dimensions and operating requirements.
