Port Hercule access restricted during Monaco Yacht Show
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
Boat movements in and out of Port Hercule will be strictly controlled from 23 to 26 September 2026 during the Monaco Yacht Show.
Port Hercule will operate under tight access restrictions throughout the Monaco Yacht Show, running from midnight on 23 September to 18:30 on 26 September 2026. Between midnight and 07:00 each day, the port will be completely closed to all vessel traffic.
During daylight and evening hours, from 07:00 to midnight, only boats carrying a badge issued by S.A.M. Monaco Yacht Show will be permitted to move within the port. Anyone planning to arrive, depart or manoeuvre a vessel during the show period should ensure their credentials are in order well in advance.
The restrictions are a standard measure to protect the safe running of one of the world's largest in-water yacht exhibitions, which draws hundreds of superyachts and thousands of industry visitors to the Principality each September. Berth holders and regular port users are advised to plan movements accordingly.
