Arriving in Monaco by boat
Port Hercule: Monaco's seafront
At the foot of the Rock, Port Hercule is one of the earliest human settlements in Monaco's history: the Greeks and Romans used it as far back as Antiquity. Today, it is a first-class deep-water port with almost 760 berths and a wide range of services (provisioning, waste collection, parking for yachtsmen, shipyards).
Around thirty berths in Port Hercule are reserved for visitors. Fresh water, electricity on the pontoon and alongside the quay, Wi-Fi, grey and black water collectors, showers and toilets provide yachtsmen with everything they need to visit Monaco from the sea.
Port Hercule is protected from currents and winds by the Rainier III breakwater, where the Monaco cruise terminal is located. From the landing stage, passengers can take the waterbus that links the Quai Antoine 1er to the Quai des États-Unis, or stroll around the city on foot, by taxi or by bus.
With its ultra-modern marina feel, Port Hercule is an ideal gateway to Monaco's various points of interest, including the La Condamine shopping district, the historic heart of the Rock (Monaco-Ville) and Monte-Carlo, where the Place du Casino is located.
