Monegasque requirements
Plan the national formalities before reaching the port.
Three Monaco ports
Monaco's port regulations cover Port Hercule, Port de Fontvieille and Petit Portier, now operating as the Port de Mareterra.
Permission before port entry
A vessel may not enter or move in a Monaco port without prior permission from port personnel. A berth request does not itself guarantee a berth or authorize entry.
Port arrival declaration
A visiting yacht provides registration, insurance, vessel particulars, owner or captain details, planned departure and destination, and passenger numbers through the reservation and harbour-master process.
Maritime Police formalities
Yachts in Monaco ports or anchored in territorial waters complete the applicable Maritime and Airport Police process with passports, crew and passenger lists and the published vessel forms.
Customs and Schengen position
Monaco is not an EU Member State or a Schengen contracting party, but it is treated as French territory for EU customs, VAT and excise and lies within the Schengen external-border arrangements through France.
Private, charter and commercial use
State the yacht's real use and crew status. Port, immigration, customs, employment and commercial-operation requirements can differ.
Events and berth availability
The Grand Prix, Monaco Yacht Show and other events can change access and berth arrangements. Confirm current restrictions instead of relying on historic schedules.
Pollution controls
Monaco port rules prohibit wastewater discharge in port and require appropriate waste and retention planning.
