Port Hercule, with its 700 berths and capacity to accommodate yachts up to 130 meters, becomes a coveted docking ground. Among the anticipated highlights is the return of KISMET, a 122-meter Lürssen masterpiece that stole the show in 2024 as the longest super yacht charter at the Monaco Yacht Show. With its seven decks, helipad, and space for 12 guests, KISMET offers an unrivalled vantage point for watching cars navigate the tight Tabac Corner.

Sunseeker Martinique 36 - An Owner's Review

The Sunseeker Martinique 36, a classic sports cruiser from the renowned British shipyard Sunseeker. I had one of these many years ago and I loved it. Nice and powerful 24 Knots on the plane, (some times a bit faster). It was my first real boat and at the time with a young family it was great. They epitomise luxury and performance for boating enthusiasts. Launched in the late 1980s and early 1990s, this model, designed by Don Shead, measures approximately 10.8 to 11.58 meters in length with a beam of around 3.65 meters, offering a balance of sleek design and practical space. Its GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) hull and planing underwater profile ensure excellent handling, achieving cruising speeds of about 28 knots and a maximum speed of up to 34 knots, depending on engine configuration.
