On water and in the air

Yachts & aviation, compared honestly

We research charters and aircraft with independent operators and brokers, explain the terms plainly and introduce you. We own nothing and hold no inventory.

Yacht charter: what the price means

A charter is usually quoted as a base rate plus APA — an advance provisioning allowance covering fuel, food, berthing and running costs — plus applicable tax and crew gratuity. The headline figure is rarely the total, and terms vary significantly between operators. In Grand Prix and Yacht Show weeks, day charters are priced and contracted very differently from the rest of the season.

Private aviation

We compare aircraft categories against your route, party and luggage, and set out handling, slot and ground-transfer implications at Nice. Empty-leg pricing can be excellent but is inherently fragile; we will say so rather than build a plan around it.

Helicopter transfers

The Nice–Monaco flight is short, but check-in, baggage limits and weather alternatives matter. Every plan we write includes a ground fallback.

How we are paid

You pay Monaco Private Desk a research and comparison fee. The operator invoices you directly for the charter or flight under their own contract. We do not hold client funds for third-party services and we never guarantee availability.
