· 6 min read
A Wajer 38 yacht charter Monaco is the discerning way to cover the coastline with pace and poise. Purpose-built for crisp handling and quiet comfort, she turns a Monaco day into effortless cruising.
Yacht overview
Built in 2018, the Wajer 38 combines Dutch engineering with understated style—exactly what Monaco demands. At 11.3 metres, she is compact enough for nimble harbour manoeuvres yet substantial in presence, riding on a deep‑V hull that stays composed when the afternoon breeze sets in. Twin Volvo IPS propulsion delivers agile handling and impressively quiet performance, so conversations carry and music remains clear even at speed. The open layout invites sociable days: broad aft sunpads, a wraparound cockpit, and a shaded helm under a retractable bimini. A practical cabin provides a cool retreat when the sun is at its height. Whether you’re slipping out to Mala for a swim or gliding to Cap Ferrat for lunch, this Wajer 38 charter is a polished, low‑effort way to experience Monaco’s shoreline.

Best destinations & anchorages from Monaco
Monaco is perfectly positioned for short, scenic hops. Expect calm mornings and a gentle afternoon breeze; the Wajer’s hull takes this in stride. Popular bays sit within easy reach: La Mala at Cap d’Ail (about 15–20 minutes) for a turquoise swim beneath limestone cliffs; Eze‑sur‑Mer’s sheltered cove (around 25 minutes) for a quieter pause; the amphitheatre bay of Villefranche‑sur‑Mer (roughly 35 minutes) for postcard‑blue water; and Paloma or Passable on St‑Jean‑Cap‑Ferrat (about 35–45 minutes) for clear water and classic beach clubs. Beaulieu’s Port des Fourmis offers convenient shore access if you prefer a pier drop‑off. With the Wajer 38’s quick sprints between spots, you can comfortably string two or three anchorages into a relaxed, unhurried day along the French Riviera.
Beach clubs & shore highlights
A day by boat is the most civilised way to reach the Riviera’s marquee addresses. La Réserve de la Mala sits in a dramatic cove and pairs well with a late‑morning swim. Anjuna Beach at Eze brings a bohemian mood and lively afternoons, while Paloma Beach and Passable on Cap Ferrat remain timeless options for a long lunch and a shaded digestif. Closer to home, Monaco’s Larvotto offers protected waters for a final swim before returning to port. Where local regulations permit, the captain can arrange drop‑off and pick‑up by boat, or coordinate with shore tenders. Our team will secure the best tables and timing, aligning the run order with wind, swell, and your preferred tempo.
Day charter routes & sample itineraries
With an 8‑hour schedule (10:00–18:00), the Wajer 38 covers Monaco’s highlights without rushing. Two well‑paced options:
Suggested day plans
Designed around swim stops, lunch ashore, and a smooth return.
- Monaco – La Mala (swim) – Eze (swim) – Cap Ferrat (lunch at Paloma or Passable) – Villefranche (afternoon swim) – Monaco. Legs of 15–45 minutes keep the day flexible.
- Monaco – Beaulieu (coffee stop) – Paloma (swim) – Villefranche (lunch) – Larvotto (final dip) – Monaco. Scenic coastal run with short transits and protected bays.
Guest capacity, crew & service
The Wajer 38 is licensed for up to 10 guests for day use—8 to 10 is the sweet spot for comfort, conversation, and easy movement on deck. A professional captain runs the boat and looks after your day with calm, attentive service. Stow bags in the air‑conditioned cabin, keep the cockpit clear, and use the two sun‑lounging areas to spread out between swims. If you prefer a quieter pace or have children on board, we’ll tune the route to shorter hops and gentler anchorages. Special requests—from a specific rosé to a seaside table at your favourite beach club—are arranged in advance so your time on the water remains seamless.
Watersports & toys
This is a boat made for clean entries into clear water. The generous swim platform makes stepping in and out simple, even for younger guests. Snorkeling gear is provided for relaxed explorations above the Posidonia meadows that line many coves on Cap Ferrat and around La Mala. If you’d like to add toys, let us know in advance—additional equipment can be arranged on request, subject to availability and local regulations. The focus, however, is elegant, uncomplicated fun: swim, dry off on wide sunpads, cue your soundtrack, and set off to the next bay with minimal fuss.

French Riviera day charters follow a clear structure. On the Wajer 38, typical hours are 10:00–18:00 and French VAT is included.
