Appointments, not a single event
The day is broker meetings scheduled tightly across the quays, sea trials on their own timing and viewings that run long. Frequent short movements with unpredictable waits between them.

A private chauffeur for the Monaco Yacht Show runs from €130 from Nice Airport, from €160 from Cannes and from €260 from Saint-Tropez — fixed at booking, per vehicle, with no show-week surcharge. The 2026 edition runs from Wednesday 23 to Saturday 26 September at Port Hercule, marking the show's 35th year since its founding in 1991. Over 120 superyachts sit in the water with around 560 exhibitors around the quays, and the port perimeter operates under controlled access for the duration. The result is a week where the destination address matters far less than knowing which gate is usable at which hour. The Yacht Show has a different rhythm from the Riviera's other events. Days are structured around appointments rather than a single spectacle: broker meetings scheduled tightly across the quays, sea trials that leave and return on their own timing, and viewings that run over because a client stays aboard longer than planned. That produces a pattern of frequent short movements with unpredictable waits — which is why hourly hire from €95/h suits the week better than fixed transfers. Show hours run 10:00 to 18:30 from Wednesday to Friday and 10:00 to 18:00 on the Saturday, but the commercially important part of MYS happens in the evenings that follow. Those evenings are owner dinners, brokerage receptions and onboard hospitality, spread between Monte-Carlo, the Larvotto side and yachts berthed in the port. They finish late, and Monaco's taxi supply during show week does not extend to that hour. Prestigo Chauffeur holds evening slots as part of the booking and coordinates quayside pickups with the port access rules rather than to a street address. "During MYS the schedule is set by other people's meetings," says Anis S, founder of Prestigo Chauffeur. "The car has to wait without that becoming a negotiation."
The day is broker meetings scheduled tightly across the quays, sea trials on their own timing and viewings that run long. Frequent short movements with unpredictable waits between them.
Over 120 superyachts and around 560 exhibitors fill Port Hercule under a controlled perimeter. Which gate is usable depends on the hour and the accreditation, not on the address.
Show hours end at 18:30, but owner dinners, brokerage receptions and onboard hospitality run late — and that is where the commercially significant part of the week happens.
From €95/h with a 3-hour minimum, waiting time sits inside the rate. When a client stays aboard forty minutes longer than scheduled, that is absorbed rather than charged.
Pickup is arranged against the port access arrangements and your onboard contact rather than set to a street address that may not be reachable at that hour.
Receptions and dinners finish after Monaco's taxi supply has effectively stopped. The evening return is held as part of the booking rather than sought afterwards.
Fixed at €130 from Nice Airport, with private aviation arrivals met at the general aviation terminal and the vehicle on stand, coordinated with your handler.
Many attendees base outside Monaco during show week. Cannes to Monaco is €160 fixed and Saint-Tropez to Monaco €260, planned around the September traffic pattern on the coast road.
From 3 to 20 passengers, so a brokerage team and its clients move together rather than splitting across vehicles between appointments.
Nice Airport to Monaco from €130, Cannes to Monaco from €160 and Saint-Tropez to Monaco from €260 — fixed at booking, per vehicle, with no show-week surcharge. For the week itself, hourly hire from €95/h fits better than fixed transfers, because MYS days are built from appointments that overrun rather than from planned journeys. Monaco taxis during show week price by availability and thin out entirely after the evening receptions.
Wednesday 23 to Saturday 26 September 2026 at Port Hercule — the 35th edition, the show having run since 1991. Opening hours are 10:00 to 18:30 Wednesday to Friday and 10:00 to 18:00 on the Saturday, with over 120 superyachts in the water and around 560 exhibitors around the quays.
Yes. The port operates under a controlled perimeter during the show, so pickup is coordinated with the access arrangements and your onboard contact rather than set to a street address. Which gate works depends on the hour and the accreditation, which is precisely the part worth handing to someone who does it daily.
Because MYS days are appointment-driven. Broker meetings are scheduled tightly, sea trials return on their own timing and viewings run long. From €95/h with a 3-hour minimum, waiting sits inside the rate and the vehicle stays with you between quays. See hourly chauffeur hire.
Yes, 24/7 with no night surcharge. Show hours end at 18:30, but the owner dinners, brokerage receptions and onboard hospitality that follow are where the week's business actually happens — and they finish after Monaco's taxi supply has stopped. Evening slots are held as part of the booking.
Yes, from 3 to 20 passengers. The Mercedes V-Class takes 7, the Sprinter Van 8 and the Mercedes Sprinter up to 20, with the S-Class for client-facing movements. Keeping the group in one vehicle between appointments avoids the coordination cost of splitting under a controlled port perimeter.
Yes, and it is common during show week since Monaco's capacity is committed. Cannes to Monaco is €160 fixed and the run is planned around the September coast-road pattern. Daily movements are arranged as a set for the week rather than rebooked each morning.
3 to 4 weeks ahead, and earlier for hourly hire covering the full show week, which is what most brokerage teams need. September on the Riviera also carries Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, so vehicle availability across the region is tighter that month than the calendar suggests.
