Yacht overview
Sleek, quiet and impeccably finished, the Wajer 55 is purpose-built for Monaco’s fast, elegant rhythm. Her deep‑V hull smooths the short chop that often forms outside Port Hercule, while her refined deck plan makes transitions—from breakfast at the Yacht Club de Monaco to a swim at Paloma Bay—effortless. Generous sunpads forward and aft, a sociable cockpit lounge under shade, and beautifully detailed teak put her firmly among the Riviera’s most desirable day boats.
Equally capable of a spirited hop to Cap‑Ferrat as a longer glide to the Lérins Islands, this Wajer pairs performance with comfort in a way few 17‑metre boats can. For those seeking luxury yacht rental Monaco for a single sun‑filled day or a polished weekend, the Wajer 55 offers a quiet, confident way to experience the coastline without compromise.

Dutch engineering meets Riviera practicality in a specification tailored to premium day use and refined short stays. The Wajer 55 balances sleek dimensions with smart capacity, welcoming family groups, couples or friends with room to relax across multiple lounging zones. Her year of build underscores the freshness of her detailing and systems, making her a compelling Wajer 55 charter choice for those who value modernity and reliability.

Onboard experience
Life aboard is open‑air and intuitive. Broad sunpads invite unhurried mornings; the shaded cockpit keeps lunches cool even at midday; and the low, wide swim platform makes slipping into the water as simple as stepping off a private terrace. Detailing is distinctly Wajer: precise joinery, robust hardware, and upholstery that feels as considered as it looks.
Below deck, a calm, contemporary cabin offers a discreet retreat for a siesta or an unhurried change after a swim—ideal if your day charter Monaco program turns into a late afternoon at anchor. Throughout, modern amenities and the attentive care of a professional skipper keep the day running smoothly, from ice‑cold refreshments to quick turnarounds between coves.
Best destinations & anchorages from Monaco
From Port Hercule or Fontvieille, the Wajer 55 reaches Monaco’s favorite waters in minutes. La Mala at Cap d’Ail is typically a short 20–30‑minute cruise, offering clear water and dramatic cliffs. Swing east to Saint‑Jean‑Cap‑Ferrat for Paloma Bay or Passable—both sheltered, scenic anchorages roughly 30–40 minutes under normal conditions. Villefranche‑sur‑Mer’s amphitheatre bay makes a gentle lunch stop with classic Riviera views.
Longer runs are just as comfortable: expect around an hour or a little more to the Lérins Islands off Cannes, with time to swim between Sainte‑Marguerite and Saint‑Honorât. If you’re planning a French Riviera yacht charter that spans the day, the boat’s range and ride make even Cap d’Antibes or a sunset return from Cannes feel unhurried and entirely within reach.
Beach clubs & shore highlights
Pair your anchorage with the right table ashore. Close to Monaco, La Réserve de la Mala sits above a turquoise cove; Anjuna in Èze serves lively lunches steps from the surf; and Paloma on Cap‑Ferrat remains a classic. Westward, La Guérite on Île Sainte‑Marguerite is a festive destination reached directly by tender, while Club Dauphin at the Grand‑Hôtel du Cap‑Ferrat offers a refined poolside interlude above the rocks.
Whether you prefer barefoot afternoons or white‑linen service, your skipper coordinates tender drop‑offs and pick‑ups to keep the day seamless. For guests comparing options for a luxury yacht rental Monaco, the Wajer’s low profile and excellent maneuverability make busy lunch landings straightforward, even on peak summer days.
Day charter routes & sample itineraries
A Wajer 55 charter thrives on thoughtful pacing—enough movement to enjoy the shoreline, with generous time at anchor. Consider these guest‑tested outlines:
Sample day plans
Each program adapts to sea state and your lunch preference.
- Morning swim at La Mala, cruise to Paloma Bay for lunch, golden‑hour return via Villefranche (approx. 6–7 hours).
- Direct run to the Lérins Islands, swim between the monasteries of Saint‑Honorât, late lunch at La Guérite, sunset cruise past Cap d’Antibes (full‑day).
- Cap‑Ferrat focus: Passable for calm waters, stroll in Saint‑Jean village, mid‑afternoon snorkel at Paloma, leisurely return to Monaco (shorter day).
- Event days: slow parade past Port Hercule, photo stop off the Casino terrace, then retreat to a quiet cove for privacy during peak hours.
Guest capacity, crew & service
The Wajer 55 is licensed for up to 11 guests for day use, an ideal number for families or two couples with friends. A professional skipper (crew of 1) manages navigation, mooring, and guest safety, coordinating swim stops and shore transfers with practiced ease. Service is deliberately unobtrusive yet attentive—ice topped up, towels at hand, and a smooth tempo to the day.
Should you wish to add a hostess or bespoke catering, our team can arrange support subject to availability. For multi‑day French Riviera yacht charter programs, the lower cabin offers refined comfort for short overnights, turning a spirited day out of Monaco into a polished weekend along the coast.
Watersports & toys
The Wajer 55 is designed around easy water access and relaxed swimming. The broad stern platform and side decks make entries and exits simple, and there’s ample deck space for drying off between dips. Light gear such as snorkelling sets can be provided by prior arrangement, subject to availability. For guests seeking powered toys—Seabobs, e‑foils or paddleboards—our concierge can source premium equipment as an add‑on with advance notice.
If your day charter Monaco plan includes extended time at anchor, let us know your preferences and we’ll tailor the setup to suit. Safety equipment is carried in accordance with regulations; our skipper will brief guests before the first swim.
Fuel, APA and what’s included
On the French Riviera, day rates generally cover the yacht and crew, with fuel charged on consumption; there is no separate APA for standard day charters. For multi‑day programs, an Advance Provisioning Allowance may be applied (commonly around 30%) to streamline fuel, berthing and catering, reconciled at the end of the charter.
