Monte Carlo, Monaco
24 - 26 Apr 2026
A bi-annual event organized by the Automobile Club of Monaco (ACM), the Monaco Historic Grand Prix takes place two weeks before the world-renowned Formula One Grand Prix.
Following the same iconic circuit as the world-renowned Monaco Grand Prix, the Monaco Historic Grand Prix showcases a terrific selection of charming vintage cars from various eras throughout the 20th century.
The inaugural event took place in 1997 and has since returned every two years to the streets of Monaco and the beautiful Port Hercule.
Proving a massive success, the event has witnessed more and more spectators from Monaco yacht charters each year, and an increasing demand for corporate yacht charters.
With a lengthy and significant history with motorsport, the French principality of Monaco has hosted races since 1929, making it the ideal location for celebrating historic motor racing. However, it wasn't until 1950 when Monaco became the second-ever circuit to receive Formula One stature, following on from Silverstone, England, UK.
Now providing the ultimate opportunity to experience racing eras that have gone by, the Monaco Historic Grand Prix sets a clearly defined program to allow every generation of racing car to shine in the spotlight on the iconic track.
Scheduling a program of seven races to view throughout the event, the races you can expect to see when attending the Monaco Historic Grand Prix during a South of France yacht charter include;
- Race A1 - Pre-war Grand Prix cars and voiturettes.
- Race A2 - Front engine Grand Prix cars pre-1961
- Race B - Rear engine F1 Grand Prix Cars 1961–1965 and F2 1956–1960
- Race C - Front engine sport racing cars 1952-1957
- Race D - F1 Grand Prix cars 3L 1966-1972
- Race E - F1 Grand Prix cars 3L 1973-1976
- Race F - F1 Grand Prix cars 3L 1977-1980
- Race G - F1 Grand Prix cars 3L 1981-1985
A popular Mediterranean yacht charter destination, Monaco is perfect for family getaways or hosting clients on France yacht charters. With a vibrant social calendar, highlights of the French principality include the world-renowned casinos and the iconic Café de Paris, ensuring an array of attractions to delight every charter guest.
Berths in the stunning Port Hercule are in high demand during premier events like the Monaco E-Prix, making early booking essential.
With approximately 700 berths accommodating West Mediterranean yacht charters of all sizes—from sleek motor yachts to luxurious superyachts and graceful sailing yacht charters—Port Hercule welcomes yachts up to 427ft (130m). As a highly sought-after destination, this legendary harbor, nestled in the heart of Monte Carlo, offers an unparalleled fusion of glamour, luxury, and nautical prestige.
Beyond the marina, ample anchorage is available in the bay for even the largest yachts for charter. Onshore, an array of VIP hospitality packages ensures an exclusive and unforgettable experience.
Witness this fantastic historic sporting event surrounded by friends, clients, and contacts as part of an event yacht charter. Berthed trackside just meters away from the action in a luxury charter yacht is the best way to take in the thrilling races, but it is highly advised to book early to secure a coveted front-row seat.
To make the most out of the event, a motor yacht charter provides not only an exclusive base for the main event but also a gateway to some of the most beautiful sights in the region. In addition to the scheduled races, charter guests can explore the mesmerizing views beneath the waves with top-tier water toys or indulge in premium dining with popular hotspots like GAIA and MayaBay.
