MOTORYACHT CHARTER TIME IS NOW

The rush is on to book a last minute Monaco Grand Prix yacht!

SPECIAL EVENTS

As the dates draw closer for Europe’s premier Formula 1 Grand Prix and similar special events such as the Cannes Film Festival, charter customers are cautioned to first concentrate on where they will dock their rental yacht.

COMPANY PRESIDENT COMMENTS

“When a customer contacts us to rent a Monaco Grand Prix yacht, we immediately focus on securing a berth in Port Hercules, the only marina adjacent to the race course,” says Jana Sheeder, President of 1-800 Yacht Charters and The SailAway Group.  “The only way to view the race from the deck of a yacht is to be moored in the marina, preferably in Zone 1, closest to the track and Jumbotron.”

Dock space in the port is reserved via a written application.  It can take up to 5 weeks to process, unless you are a race team sponsor.

“It doesn’t matter if you want to attend the Grand Prix in Monaco or the Film Festival in Cannes, you must make it a priority to secure a berth many weeks, if not months, prior to the event,” reports Sheeder.  “We hear horror stories where people have rented a yacht only to find their charter broker did not secure dockage at the marina closest to the special event location.”

WHICH YACHT HAS SECURE DOCKAGE?

Nearly all available dockage is already reserved for the Grand Prix.  Sheeder and her team found yachts available for the race AND have secure dockage.

“We have several yachts, such as the 26 meter JACKIE ONE, available for the race and with a secured berth in Zone 1, right next to the race course,” claims Sheeder.

JACKIE ONE

The 82 foot Amer motoryacht JACKIE ONE has event dockage.
