Monaco Yacht Partner

Business Unit

Branch offices

In a strategic move to fortify its foothold in the yachting market, Catalano Shipping Services has successfully acquired Monaco Yacht Partner, ushering in a new era of expanded operations and a diverse service portfolio for their esteemed clientele.  The addition of Monaco Yacht Partner contributes a robust reputation and an extensive network of industry connections, enhancing the overall capabilities of the Catalano Shipping Services portfolio of companies. Founded in 2010, Monaco Yacht Partner swiftly emerged as a prominent player in the Ship Chandler sector in Monaco. Renowned for its prime retail location at the heart of Monaco's main port, the company offers a comprehensive range of spare parts, supplies, and equipment, with a team of seasoned professionals dedicated to providing efficient advice and swift deliveries. The acquisition positions Catalano Shipping Services to provide global coverage, leveraging its presence in France, Monaco, Italy, New Zealand, Indonesia, and an extensive network of partners worldwide. The integration of the two companies marks a significant milestone, promising clients an extended array of goods and services, coupled with enhanced budget benefits. The collaboration aligns seamlessly with the strategic objectives of Catalano Shipping Services and its integrated suppliers under the AGents group, expanding their influence in the industry.  With Fratelli Cosulich already having a presence in the business through Molo Vecchio Marine Supply in Genoa, this strategic move reinforces the global group's standing and opens avenues for further growth and success. The envisaged merger of Monaco Yacht Partner and Molo Vecchio Marine Supply in 2023 is set to create a singular entity boasting an anticipated turnover of approximately 4-4.5 million Euros and a dedicated team of 10-12 employees. This unified entity will cover the expanse of Liguria and the southern part of France, from Menton to Saint Tropez. As a supplier of spare parts and consumables for yachts, the merged entity aims to become the 3rd/4th largest group in Italy within this segment. While acknowledging the significance of major players in the yachting industry, the strategic vision of Catalano Shipping Services is to nurture local identities and focus on the niche market's specific needs. This approach aims to offer enhanced assistance in a segment where personalized service is paramount. The existing warehouse in Imperia, held by Molo Vecchio Marine Supply, is poised to play a crucial role in immediate synergies between the two structures. The growth strategy for next years revolves around the extension and mutualization of suppliers and catalogues, potential additional stores in France under a common brand, and a logistics-centric development, positioning the merged entity as a beacon of excellence in the yachting services landscape. The acquisition of Monaco Yacht Partner heralds a promising future for both entities, reflecting a commitment to industry leadership and customer satisfaction.

A guide to Monaco’s marinas; from Port Hercules to the new Portier Cove

by Natalie | Feb 25, 2020 | Around the Regions , Features

With berthing space in such high demand in the principality of Monaco, yacht owners can now explore an exciting new option; Cala del Forte Ventimiglia.

This new, state-of-the-art marina was built by Monaco Ports and opened its doors in 2019. While it actually presides just over the French/Italian border at Ventimiglia, the port is designed as a sister marina to Monaco’s two existing marinas, Port Hercules and the Port of Fontvieille, as well as the soon-to-come marina at Portier Cove, creating more berthing space for some of the world’s most luxurious yachts.

Here’s everything you need to know about Monaco’s marinas and where to moor your yacht.

Where can I moor my yacht in Monaco?

Monaco currently offers two marinas, Port Hercules and the Port of Fontvieille, along with the new port Cala del Forte Ventimiglia, just outside of the principality in Italy. A new marina is also scheduled to open shortly at the new eco-district Portier Cove.

What ports are there in Monaco?

Monaco currently has two ports located in the principality, Port Hercules and the Port of Fontvieille, which are always in high demand, as well as the new port of Cala del Forte, located in Italy. There will shortly be a new marina in Monaco,  Portier Cove .

The iconic Port Hercules is an historic port in Monaco. Located in the heart of La Condamine, just west of the new Portier Cove marina, Port Hercules boasts some 700 berths. A natural bay, its deep waters enable it to accommodate the world’s largest superyachts, while its facilities are also first-class. Lined with award-winning restaurants, bars, and boutiques, in addition to a number of shops selling chandlery and a shipyard, sailing into this vibrant port is always an exciting affair. Additionally, Port Hercules plays host to the annual Monaco Yacht Show, one of the largest and most prestigious yacht shows in the world.

Port Fontvieille is a modern port, located in the district of Fontvieille and, until the mariner at Portier Cove is completed, is the smallest of Monaco’s ports. The port offers more than 270 moorings, surrounded by the buzzing Monegasque district of Fontvieille, which offers a fantastic array of facilities, including a wonderful selection of bars and restaurants.

Where is the port of Cala del Forte Ventimiglia located?

  While the port was developed by Monaco Ports, Cala del Forte Ventimiglia actually resides in Italy, just moments from the principality of Monaco.

This beautiful new marina has been designed as one of the most advanced, state-of-the-art marinas in the world. Naturally protected from the weather, Cala del Forte also offers an exquisite selection of luxury shops, bars, restaurants, and office space, making it a destination unto itself. The marina is also served by a shipyard, ensuring all yachting needs are met.

When will the new port at Portier Cove open?

The new port at Portier Cove is scheduled to open in 2025, bringing the number of ports that are located in Monaco to three.

This new marina in Monaco will offer much-needed additional berthing space in the heart of the principality. Located next to Larvotto’s popular beach, Portier Cove is Europe’s most ambitious project. Alongside the new Portier Cove marina, the eco development will also include super prime residential apartments, penthouses, and villas, in addition to retail space and ample green spaces.

Whether you opt to moor at the established marinas of Port Hercules or Port of Fontvieille, the new marina of Cala del Forte, or at the soon-to-launch Portier Cove marina, you can rest assured that you will be met with first-class facilities where all your yachting needs will be met.

The definitive guide to Monaco’s ports, including the new state-of-the-art marinas of Portier Cove and Cala del Forte Ventimiglia. Discover more here.
