Monaco – Port of Fontvielle

Built at the end of the 70s, the PORT OF FONTVIELLE is located at the foot of the rock of Monaco, west side, with an area of about 8 hectares of water plan. Like Port Hercule, it is managed by the Societe d’Exploitation des Ports de Monaco (SEPM). It can accommodate 275 boats smaller than 30 m.

Close to PORT OF FONTVIELLE, there are many waterfront restaurants, a business district, a shopping centre, the large sports complex of the Louis II stadium and a heliport.

The PORT OF FONTVIELLE is certainly one of the best sheltered of the region since it’s protected from the east winds by the Rock and the swell of south and west by its large dyke. In the heart of the residential district of Fontvieille, the recreational port is a true marina giving, in the immediate vicinity, all the facilities to the boaters of passage as to the permanent ones who can find shops, entertaining and leisure here. Boaters have at their disposal all the necessary services for the proper functioning of a marina: water, electricity in each of the berths as well as sanitary facilities and showers.

Berths in PORT OF FONTVIELLE are much demanded and requests are very numerous. It is extremely difficult to rent a berth, even for a short time because the Ports of Monaco give priority to requests from Monegasque residents (long waiting list).
