Monaco Yacht Show helicopter transfers — quick answer
Nice to Monaco Héliport is a seven-minute flight and the standard arrival for the Monaco Yacht Show — available as a per-seat shuttle seat or as a whole-aircraft charter, priced per mission. During MYS week the shuttle runs continuously and the Basse Corniche into Monte-Carlo is saturated from mid-morning, so the helicopter is the only movement you can time.
Departure points to Monaco
| Departure point | Flight time | Cabin | From (one-way) |
|---|---|---|---|
Nice Côte d’Azur (NCE) — shared shuttle Scheduled slot shuttles every few minutes across show week. | 7 min | per seat | "Priced per mission" |
Nice Côte d’Azur (NCE) — whole aircraft Private cabin, your own departure time, luggage handled gate-to-héliport. | 7 min | 4–6 seats | "Priced per mission" |
Cannes Mandelieu (CEQ) For guests coming straight off the Cannes show circuit. | 12 min | 4–6 seats | "Priced per mission" |
Saint-Tropez / La Môle (LTT) | 25 min | 4–6 seats | "Priced per mission" |
Genoa / Portofino (GOA) Italian yard and owner delegations. | 45 min | 6 seats | "Priced per mission" |
Milan Linate (LIN) Direct Milan–Monaco, avoiding the Ligurian coastal drive. | 70 min | 6 seats | "Priced per mission" |
Indicative one-way guide prices for a light twin or single-engine VIP helicopter (H130, AW109, EC135 or similar), excluding VAT, landing, handling and event slot fees. Event weekends are frequently quoted as a block with the aircraft on standby — operators confirm firm pricing against your itinerary.
Where you land at Monaco Yacht Show
All movements use Monaco Héliport at Fontvieille, the Principality's only helicopter facility, two to four minutes by car from Port Hercule, the Yacht Club de Monaco and the show's Darse Sud tents. Show-week slots are controlled and there is no alternative pad inside Monaco — the fallback is Nice or the Roquebrune-Cap-Martin area with a road leg into the Principality, which defeats the purpose on peak days.
Arrival timing & slot planning for Monaco Yacht Show
- Reserve both directions when you book; Fontvieille slot pressure peaks 09:00–11:00 inbound and 17:30–19:30 outbound throughout MYS.
- Allow 10 minutes from touchdown to the Port Hercule show entrance including the transfer car.
- Owners hosting aboard usually keep an aircraft on daily standby for guest rotations between Nice, Cannes and Fontvieille.
- Book the whole aircraft rather than seats if your party exceeds four or your timing is tied to a viewing schedule — the shared shuttle boards on its own cadence.
- Late-September mistral conditions occasionally close the coastal route; every plan carries a road contingency from Nice.
How much is a helicopter to the Monaco Yacht Show?
Nice to Monaco Héliport is from about €1,900 one-way for a whole four-to-six seat aircraft — roughly €320 per person with a full cabin — or about €220 per seat on the scheduled shuttle. Cannes is from €2,100, Saint-Tropez from €2,800 and Genoa from €4,200 for the Italian yard delegations.
During show week the money question is usually the day rate rather than the leg price. Owners and brokers running guest rotations between the jet at Nice, viewings in Cannes and the boat at Port Hercule take the aircraft on standby at roughly €7,200–€9,500 a day, which prices well below five or six separate charters.
Monaco Yacht Show by helicopter vs the Basse Corniche
Nice airport to Port Hercule is 45 to 70 minutes by road on an ordinary day and considerably worse during MYS, when the Basse Corniche, the Boulevard du Larvotto and the Fontvieille tunnels absorb four days of show traffic on top of normal Principality congestion. The flight is seven minutes, gate to héliport.
Because the show runs to a viewing schedule rather than a start time, the value of the helicopter at MYS is not the arrival — it is being able to hold six appointments in a day across Nice, Cannes and Port Hercule without losing three hours to the coast road.
Where you land for the Monaco Yacht Show
Every movement uses Monaco Héliport at Fontvieille, the Principality's only helicopter facility, two to four minutes by car from Port Hercule, the Yacht Club de Monaco and the Darse Sud tents. There is no alternative pad inside Monaco: if Fontvieille slots are exhausted the fallback is Nice or Roquebrune-Cap-Martin with a road leg into the Principality, which defeats the purpose on peak days. Ship-to-shore flying from vessels at anchor requires the yacht's helideck certification and the captain's approval in advance.
Monaco Yacht Show transfer costs — frequent questions
From about €1,900 one-way for a whole four-to-six seat aircraft, roughly €320 per person with a full cabin, or about €220 per seat on the scheduled shuttle — before VAT and landing fees.
Seven minutes of block time. The same journey by road takes 45–70 minutes and longer during show week when the Basse Corniche backs up.
At Monaco Héliport in Fontvieille — two to four minutes by car from Port Hercule and the Yacht Club de Monaco. It is the only helicopter facility in the Principality and slots are controlled across show week.
The estimate is driven by the values you enter: Departure point, Passengers, Travel date, Return leg. Distance and passenger count set the aircraft class, the aircraft class sets the hourly rate, and the routing sets how many billable hours the operator has to quote.
Helicopter charter is priced per flight hour by the operator holding the aircraft, and rates differ between operators, aircraft ages and bases. The range reflects the realistic spread between the most competitive available aircraft and a premium or short-notice option on the same route.
Positioning (ferry) time from the aircraft’s home base, landing and handling fees, ground waiting time, night or low-visibility operations, peak-season and event demand, local taxes or VAT, and any permits required for non-airport landing sites.
Send the same inputs through the quote form or WhatsApp. We check operator availability for your date, confirm landing permissions at both ends, and return a fixed all-in price per aircraft, normally within a few working hours.
Monaco Yacht Show 2026 & 2027 — editions, arrival options and timing
Monaco Yacht Show turns Port Hercule into the densest owner-and-broker week of the year, and almost all of that movement runs through the Fontvieille heliport. This hub keeps the venue and timing live year-round with the editions rolling forward.
MYS traditionally runs a four-day show in the last week of September at Port Hercule. We confirm the exact dates against the organiser before booking.
Request 2026 Yacht Show week →Provisional holds are recommended — Riviera helicopter capacity during show week is contracted early by brokerage houses.

Arrival timing
- Show mornings
- The 09:00–11:00 inbound wave is the busiest; arrive on an earlier slot if you have a fixed appointment schedule.
- Meeting hops
- Nice–Monaco–Cannes triangles run all week; grouping meetings by port saves more time than any single fast leg.
- Departure
- Evening outbound after the last cocktail is heavily booked — reserve it with your inbound.
- Booking lead time
- 6–10 weeks for show week; earlier if you need a dedicated aircraft rather than a shuttle seat.
Same heliport, same pattern every edition. Send your show-week dates and we plan the whole week's movements, not just the arrival.
