Because if you’re going to watch Formula 1’s most glamorous race, you may as well do it in style.
Is there a better way to watch one of the world’s biggest sporting events than from the deck of a superyacht, something cold—and preferably bubbly—in hand? We think not. It’s hardly surprising, then, that a whole host of spectacular yachts will be moored in Port Hercule and anchored just offshore as the Monaco Grand Prix rolls into town this weekend. Here are a few of the standout yachts chartered for this year’s race weekend, all available via Cecil Wright.
Kismet
When it comes to superyachts, few can rival the sheer spectacle of Kismet. Built by Lürssen and spanning a whopping six decks, this 122-metre flagship is less a yacht and more a floating private resort. Sleeping up to 12 guests, she boasts a sprawling two-storey master suite complete with its own office, private jacuzzi and panoramic views, while elsewhere guests can make the most of everything from a Balinese-inspired spa with cryotherapy chamber and hammam to a gym, yoga studio and beauty salon.
Entertainment is impressive, with an underwater Nemo cinema, outdoor movie nights beneath the stars, multiple bars and even a Bogányi grand piano on board for a little extra entertainment. Add to that three pools, a basketball and pickleball court, a huge collection of waters toys, four tenders and a crew of 37, and it quickly becomes clear why she is regularly hailed as one of the most extraordinary charter yachts on the water today.
Available for charter (at anchor) from €3,000,000 a week
Contigo
In a market where bigger is generally considered better, Contigo proves that smarter design can be just as compelling. Delivered by Sanlorenzo in 2024, this 49.9-metre motor yacht has been designed around an innovative “floating penthouse” concept that places the owner’s suite on the upper deck, freeing up valuable space below for what is arguably her most impressive feature: a vast ocean lounge and beach club that sits right at the water’s edge.
Interiors by Studio Lissoni bring a distinctly residential feel to Contigo, with calming natural materials, understated elegance and plenty of natural light throughout. Sleeping up to 10 guests across five luxury cabins, guests will also have access to a spa, sauna, gym, Jacuzzi and plenty of water toys, making her equally suited to laid-back family escapes and adventure-filled Mediterranean charters.
The best bit? She is currently available for charter from June 11-18, 2026, so be sure to snap her up before it’s too late.

King Benji
Not every superyacht is designed to blend in, and King Benji certainly isn’t one of them. Built as a fully custom 47-metre explorer vessel, this characterful charter yacht combines long-range adventure with a unique approach to design. Case in point? Interiors by Design Unlimited favour warmth and texture over traditional yacht formality, while large panoramic windows create a calming connection to the sea.
Accommodating up to 10 guests across five cabins, King Benji’s standout features include a private observation lounge with panoramic views, a versatile hot-and-cold plunge pool, an open galley that puts culinary theatre centre stage and an outdoor teppanyaki dining area that will ensure all guests are extremely well fed. Elsewhere expect a great collection of toys, including a high-performance Nor-Tech tender that offers the chance to explore far-flung destinations in comfort. Don’t mind if we do.

Lady Trudy
For those who prefer their luxury served with a distinctly relaxed edge, Lady Trudy is the yacht charter for you. Elegant yet unpretentious, her interiors, which come courtesy of Zuccon International, blend pale woods with nautical blue accents that mean every space feels bright, airy and welcoming.
Accommodating up to 11 guests across five cabins, including a spacious master suite with its own adjoining study, she is a great shout for both family holidays and group getaways, with days on board typically spent making the most of the sundeck, where a Jacuzzi, cocktail bar and outdoor cinema make the perfect set-up for sun-soaked afternoons and balmy Mediterranean evenings. There’s also a gym for those keen to stay active, while a generous swim platform provides easy access to the water. And that’s before we even get into her wide collection of toys, including an inflatable slide that plunges straight from the sun deck into the sea. We’re sold.
