Monaco Yacht Partner

What Monaco Yacht Partner does

Monaco Yacht Partner (MYP) is a specialized ship chandlery headquartered at 8 Quai de l'Hirondelle in Port Hercule, Monaco, serving superyacht and pleasure boat owners across the Mediterranean. Founded in 2010 and operating with approximately 8 employees, the company supplies marine products across five categories — Deck, Safety, Engineering, and Mooring consumables, plus Audio/Video/IT/Domotics — delivering dockside using its own logistics fleet. The business is certified by major marine classification societies (Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, RINA) and maintains supplier relationships with premium marine brands, allowing it to serve regulated and safety-critical product categories.

Since 2022, MYP has operated as a subsidiary of Catalano Shipping Services and is a member of the AGents international maritime services ecosystem, which extends its service reach across multiple Mediterranean ports through affiliated agents. The 2022 partnership with sister subsidiary Monaco Engineers added AV/IT integration capabilities including Starlink, VSAT, 5G, and bridge electronics installation, expanding the product mix from consumables into higher-value technical services.

The revenue model is transactional B2B/B2C supply with per-call delivery to vessels, supplemented by installation services in the AV/IT category. No disclosed financials, customer logos, or pricing data are available; the business is structurally a small, high-margin niche operation dependent on the luxury yacht segment's traffic through Port Hercule and the broader Mediterranean charter season.

Regional players

• MB92 La Ciotat: Specialist superyacht refit shipyard based in La Ciotat on the French Riviera. Directly comparable as a Mediterranean superyacht services provider with overlapping geographic footprint, sharing MYP's customer base of superyacht owners along the same Riviera corridor.
• Monaco Marine: Monaco-headquartered yacht refit, maintenance, and shipyard operator with multiple Mediterranean sites. Shares MYP's Monaco base and superyacht customer base, and competes indirectly for the technical/engineering and maintenance portion of yacht owner spend in the same regional corridor.

Direct peers

• Wrist Ship Supply: One of the world's largest dedicated ship chandlers, supplying provisions, deck/engine stores, and bonded stores to commercial vessels and offshore platforms globally. Directly comparable as a multi-port shipchandler serving maritime customers, though focused more on commercial shipping than the superyacht niche.

Broad incumbents

• GAC Group: Global provider of integrated shipping, logistics, and marine services including ship supply, agency, and bunkering across 60+ countries. Overlaps MYP's chandler and yacht agency functions but operates at much broader scale with diversified shipping and energy customers.
• Inchcape Shipping Services: Maritime services provider offering vessel agency, husbandry, spare parts logistics, and ship supply across a global port network. Comparable to MYP in marine supply and yacht-agency-adjacent services, with substantially broader geographic reach and customer base.
• Stolt-Nielsen: Integrated global logistics provider with tankers, terminals, and a Stolthaven segment serving specialty maritime and industrial customers. Relevant comparator for marine logistics and supply-side operations, though focused on bulk liquids and tank container services.
• Wilhelmsen Maritime Services: Global maritime services group offering ship supply, spare parts logistics, technical services, and port-based solutions. Comparable chandler and marine supply activities, though embedded within a far larger portfolio serving commercial shipping rather than the superyacht specialty.
• V.Ships: Largest independent ship management company globally, providing crew management, technical management, and associated support services to commercial fleets. Adjacent rather than direct — overlaps with MYP's technical spare parts and engineering supply activities through shared customer base.
