Superyacht marinas on the Côte d'Azur and in Monaco: 32 harbours with berths of 24 m and more

Thirty-two harbours between Bandol and Menton publish figures for yachts of 24 metres and more: 13 in the Var, 17 in the Alpes-Maritimes and two in Monaco. The largest published figure is Port Nice's 190 metres, with a maximum draught of 7.6 metres. Monaco's Port Hercule has a tariff class up to 219.99 metres.

For 30 of the 32 harbours, the figures come from an official source such as a 2026 tariff, a council decision or the port regulations of Monaco. Port La Napoule and Marina Baie des Anges rely on the marina website alone.

Which marinas take the largest yachts?

On paper, Port Hercule in Monaco tops the list: its 2026 passage tariff "Hors Digue" runs up to a class of 210 to 219.99 metres. That is a price class for the length of the vessel, not proof that a single berth of that size exists. The next largest figures are Nice (up to 190 metres, 34 berths for yachts over 18 metres, draught 7.6 metres), Port Vauban in Antibes (150 metres), the Vieux-Port de Cannes (berth category up to 134.99 × 24 metres), Port Pierre Canto in Cannes and Saint-Tropez (both 90 metres) and Port Camille Rayon in Golfe-Juan (75 metres). In Saint-Tropez, the 90 metres and the 4-metre draught apply to the Môle d'Estienne d'Orves; the Vieux Port takes passage yachts of 25 to 50 metres.

In the Var, most harbours stop between 26 and 50 metres. Port-Cros is a special case: the national park accepts yachts over 15 and under 30 metres at the stone quay, on reservation only, and there is no fuel. Porquerolles takes one yacht of up to 45 metres, by special permission and reservation.

What do the figures mean?

Max. length is the largest figure a harbour publishes. Some sources give a berth size (the space at the quay), most give the size of the vessel or a tariff class. We mark which one applies. Tariff classes are often open at the top: Vieux-Port de Saint-Raphaël ends with a class "35 m and over", Port Pierre Canto with "80 m and over". In those cases, the table shows the published class or the harbour's own maximum, not a guess.

Max. draught is the deepest keel a harbour states. It is the weakest column: only 12 of the 32 entries have a figure. Some harbours publish the water depth instead (Port Pierre Canto: 2 to 7 metres according to the city, Port La Napoule: 2 to 6 metres in the basins). We did not count those as draught. For Cap d'Ail, the Métropole gives a maximum draught of 15 metres. That figure is implausible for a marina, so we leave it out and mark the draught as not reliably published.

Max. beam comes from the tariff categories and is available for 14 harbours. No source states how many berths of 24 metres and more a harbour has. Port-Fréjus comes closest with a berth list: three berths of 24 metres, four of 30 metres and one of 40 metres.

Where can you clear in?

Three of the harbours appear as sea border crossing points in the EU Schengen Handbook (Annex 4, as of 1 September 2026): Cannes Vieux-Port, Nice and Monaco-Port de la Condamine, which is Port Hercule and is listed under France. This list covers border checks for people. It is not a customs list, and we found no official list of customs entry harbours. The Handbook also names Toulon, but no specific harbour, so the Vieille Darse is not marked. The rules for entry, customs and VAT are covered in our guide to the Côte d'Azur rules for yachts.

Where do the sources disagree?

Where an official figure and the marina's own website differ, the table follows the official source:

• Port Vauban: 150 metres (CCI) against 160 metres for the IYCA superyacht berths (marina website).
• Beaulieu: 50 metres (tariff) against 45 metres (harbour page).
• Port de la Rague: 44.9 metres (tariff) against 40 metres (website).
• Porquerolles: 45 metres (Métropole Toulon Provence Méditerranée) against 35 metres (town of Hyères).
• Cavalaire: 26 metres (tariff) against "places from 7 to 24 metres" (municipality).

Fuel is confirmed at 26 harbours. Port-Cros has none, and five sources do not mention it. Monaco's fuel berth is in Port Hercule, not in Fontvieille.

Which harbours are not on the list?

We left out harbours without a published figure of 24 metres or more. Théoule, La Figueirette and La Galère only publish image files; the tariffs of Port Santa Lucia, Le Lavandou and Bormes stop below 24 metres or give no length; Toulon/Brégaillon only has figures from 2016 and Cannes Marina in Mandelieu only an aggregator entry. Mouré Rouge, Èze, Agay, Saint-Mandrier, La Seyne and several others are too small. We did not check Dramont/Poussaï, Les Issambres, Saint-Aygulf, Carqueiranne or Le Pradet.
