Port Hercule

Port Hercule de Monaco

Monaco-Ville / La Condamine, Monaco · 43.735°N 7.426°E

MEGACOORDINATEDOPERATIONAL

The principality's deep, breakwater-protected yacht harbour and the operational heart of the Monaco Yacht Show. Night entry is controlled, megayacht quays are scarce, and September occupancy is a planning problem rather than a berth search.

Estimate

Partlycloudy at 2026-10-13T00:00:00Z Europe/Monaco. Wind 13 kn from NE. It is after local sunset. If this harbour publishes a night-entry restriction, treat it as active until sunrise. Nearest IOC gauge Monaco, Fontvieille harbour (0.8 km) last observed 0.457 m — observational only, not a tide table or controlling depth.

Busy-time intelligence

October: no dedicated climatology window — using harbour baseline. VERY_HIGH in September (Yacht Show) and Grand Prix week A congestion band here is derived from event calendars + historical occupancy, not a live sensor count. Labelled ESTIMATE. This is an estimate derived from declared inventory and seasonal demand, not a live sensor count or a passenger-style headcount.

Explainable reliability

No harbour score. Each metric says why.

    • Declared megayacht quay count is in the low teens
    • Show week reallocates the entire north basin

  • Weather disruptionMODERATEEstimate
    • Easterly swell closes comfortable outer-berth use
    • Mistral is more a passage issue than a harbour issue
