The most expensive place to dock a yacht is Port Hercule in Monaco during the Grand Prix, where a berth for a 50 to 59 metre superyacht in the best trackside position cost €110,135 for the 2026 race week. Outside event weeks, the priciest everyday berths are Italian: Capri, Porto Cervo and Portofino, each charging roughly €2,000 to €2,600 a day for a 55-metre yacht in high season, on the last full rate comparison we could verify. This list ranks ten marinas by what a large yacht pays at the peak.
A note on data. Marinas publish rates by yacht length and season, and event pricing is negotiated, so there is no single clean ranking. The only full side-by-side comparison of daily rates we found dates from 2011, so we mark those figures as older and use newer figures where we found them.

1. Port Hercule, Monaco: €110,135 for Grand Prix week
Berths in Monaco are priced by zone and size. For the 2026 Grand Prix, the best trackside spot for a 50 to 59 metre yacht cost €110,135 for the week, up from €74,737 in 2019. The smallest boats, under 19.5 metres, paid €22,316, more than double the €10,918 of 2019. Earlier reports show how steep the top end gets: in 2024 a berth for a yacht of up to 150 metres in Zone 1 was about €153,000, and a 97-metre yacht reportedly paid €129,990 for a week. Everyday prices are far lower: one published example for a yacht of 100 to 110 metres in the central harbour was about €2,876 a day in high season, and the 2011 comparison put a 55-metre yacht at €888 a day. Port Hercule has about 700 berths.
How we valued it: the published race-week tariff for 2026, plus earlier published figures for context.
2. Port de Cannes: hundreds of thousands in festival week
The French Riviera marina has nearly 2,000 berths and no length limit. During the Cannes Film Festival and other major events, a 2025 report says larger berths can cost hundreds of thousands of euros and smaller ones tens of thousands. Booking a spot for the festival reportedly comes with a waiting list.
How we valued it: a single report with no yacht sizes, so we rank it second with caution.
3. Marina Grande, Capri: €2,585 a day
Capri led the 2011 rate comparison at €2,585 a day for a 55-metre yacht in high season. A 2025 report says a night for a large superyacht can cost tens of thousands of euros, though that figure has no size attached. We keep the verified 2011 rate.
How we valued it: published daily rate from 2011.
4. Porto Cervo, Sardinia: €2,574 a day
Porto Cervo is the Costa Smeralda marina, where many of the largest yachts moor each summer. The 2011 rate for a 55-metre yacht was €2,574 a day. A 2025 report says rates for smaller boats start far lower, but climb steeply with length.
How we valued it: published daily rate from 2011.
5. Port de Saint-Tropez: nearly €2,900 a night
A 2025 report gives a range from about €27 a night for a 5-metre boat to nearly €2,900 for a 70-metre yacht. In 2011 a 55-metre yacht paid €1,356 a day.
How we valued it: published 2025 range, top end.
6. Marina di Portofino: €2,100 a day
The harbour has a small number of superyacht berths, reportedly about 14. In 2011 a 55-metre yacht paid €2,100 a day, and a 2025 report says daily berthing for larger vessels can exceed €2,000.
How we valued it: published 2011 rate, consistent with a 2025 report.
7. Puerto José Banús, Marbella: €2,069 a day
The Costa del Sol marina charged €2,069 a day for a 55-metre yacht in high season in 2011.
How we valued it: published daily rate from 2011.

9. Marina Port Vell, Barcelona: €1,084 a day

How we valued it: published daily rate from 2011.
10. Yacht Haven Grande, St Thomas: €889 a day
The US Virgin Islands superyacht harbour sat at €889 a day for a 55-metre yacht in the 2011 comparison, just above Port Hercule’s everyday rate of €888.

Records set in 2025 and 2026
- June 2026: Monaco Grand Prix berths rose again: €110,135 for a 50 to 59 metre yacht in the best position, up from €74,737 in 2019 (a rise of about 47 percent).
- Under 19.5 metres: that bracket paid €22,316, up 104 percent on 2019.
- 2025: Monaco Grand Prix berths for a 25-metre yacht reportedly started at €20,000, with larger yachts above €150,000.
What drives these prices
- Events beat location. A Monaco berth costs about €900 a day in an ordinary week and more than €15,000 a day in Grand Prix week.
- Length. Rates scale with the yacht, so the same marina can charge €27 or €2,900 a night.
- Small supply. Portofino has about 14 superyacht berths, and Monaco’s harbour has about 700 total.
- Seasonality. July and August carry the Mediterranean premium.
- Race view. In Monaco, the trackside zone costs more than berths with no view.
