Monaco.

In ordinary weeks (outside F1, Yacht Show, Top Marques, the ATP grand finale) — 30-60 minutes for selection and agreement. For tonight on a weekday — 30-40 minutes. For Friday-Saturday with a day's notice — 60-90 minutes. For complex scenarios (casino + dinner + language + dress code for a specific venue) — up to two hours.

A different story. For F1, Yacht Show, Top Marques and the ATP grand finale we recommend planning a month ahead, minimum two weeks. The best models for these dates are booked two to three months ahead. Pricing on these dates is separate, agreed personally, usually with a deposit and a fixed booking. We still take requests for "tomorrow evening during F1", but we say honestly — the choice will be narrow.

The core circle is the SBM hotels (Société des Bains de Mer): Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, Hotel Métropole Monte-Carlo, Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, Monte-Carlo Beach Hotel. Also Fairmont Monte Carlo (especially for F1 — balconies above the Hairpin) and a handful of more intimate four-star addresses on request. SBM staff have worked with high-end guests for decades; a correctly handled visit raises no questions at reception.

Yes, that's one of our regular formats from May through October, and during the Yacht Show especially. The model arrives at the quayside at the agreed time and boards by the crew's invitation. For her safety we agree the captain's name and the yacht's name in advance. Format runs 4-6 hours, occasionally a full day. If the yacht goes out to sea — we agree the route (Cap Ferrat, Saint-Tropez, Italy), duration and the return transfer.

For the guest — jacket required in the evening hours (after 20:00) at Salle Privée and Salons Européens. No sneakers, shorts, sportswear, T-shirts. For the model — cocktail or evening dress, court shoes, minimum-but-expensive jewellery, natural make-up. This isn't a place for clubwear or casual. Our models who work the casino-evening format know this dress code — nothing has to be reminded.

English — for most of our Monaco base. French at small-talk and dinner level — for a significant portion. Italian — for fewer, but it's there. Russian, German, Arabic — selectively. When you ask, specify — we'll match the language and the level. For gala evenings and closed dinners with a French-speaking audience, French is practically obligatory.

Regular heli-shuttles run between Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE) and Monaco Heliport (Fontvieille) — about 7 minutes' flight. Operators — Monacair, Heli Securite. The transfer is organised on the client's side (the model doesn't fly with you, she arrives in Monaco by her own route). If the client flies in from NCE, our manager meets at the Heliport and directs to the hotel or restaurant where the model is waiting. On request — a private heli with the model on board, agreed separately.

Yes. Cap Ferrat (15 minutes from Monaco) is a frequent point — Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat and private villas. Cannes (1 hour) is its own city with its own programme, especially during the film festival in May. Saint-Tropez (2 hours in high season) — summer trips, more often by yacht. Antibes, Eze, Beaulieu-sur-Mer — selectively. All trips are agreed in advance; the format and rates run separately from base Monaco pricing.

Cash — USD, EUR (euro at the current rate). Bank transfer — through the manager, with SEPA/SWIFT details. Cryptocurrency — USDT (TRC-20 or ERC-20), BTC. Returning clients — post-payment, season deposit, flexible arrangements. For F1 and the Yacht Show a deposit two to four weeks ahead is usually required.

In ordinary weeks — a 30-50% deposit a day before the meeting, balance on meeting. For F1, Yacht Show and other peak events — a larger deposit (50-100%) with the booking fixed two to four weeks ahead. For returning clients no deposit is usually required; we work on trust.

Discussed immediately, not after the fact. If on meeting it's clear the format isn't right — write to the manager that same hour. Depending on the cause: refund of part of the fee, replacement, scenario adjustment. Our statistic — under 2% of cases, and usually traces back to an incomplete brief at the agreement stage. The more precise the request, the more precise the match.

Yes, for returning clients — without further discussion. For new ones — for the first meeting we usually suggest a neutral SBM hotel or a restaurant; for the second — your address. For a month/season rental in Monaco (Larvotto, Fontvieille) — we work from confirmation of the lease. The address isn't kept on file; it's passed only to the model for the specific meeting.

Yes. 24 hours — $4,000, 48 hours — $6,000 (standard pricing). The model accompanies you the whole period: breakfast, day (walks, beach, shopping along Avenue de Monte-Carlo, Casino Square), evening (dinner and programme), night. For 48 hours with a Côte d'Azur trip or a short cruise, the route is agreed separately.

Yes — for returning clients and trusted requests, this is a common scenario in May. The model accompanies to premieres, gala evenings, after-parties at the Croisette hotels (Martinez, Carlton, Majestic). All travel costs (Cannes hotel, transfer, meals) — on the client; the model's fee separate. Agreed 2-4 weeks ahead, minimum a week.

We get it. The principality really is small, and reputation in Monaco is the principal asset. So: communication only through end-to-end encrypted messengers, client data is shared with no one, and after the meeting addresses and details are wiped from working chats within 72 hours. Names of clients and models don't cross — the model knows only what's needed for the current meeting. Nothing is shared with third parties, ever. We've worked in Monaco for years — our reputation here is just as sensitive as yours.

Yes, there's a separate category of models for couples. The agreement runs slightly longer — the format details, expectations and roles matter. In Monaco such requests run around 8% of meetings, more often among guests of the yacht community.

Yes — that's one of our regular formats. Bal de la Rose (March), Bal de l'Été (July), the Grand Prix gala, SBM New Year dinners. The model arrives in full evening format: long gown, formal jewellery, "black tie" dress code. We pick a model with society-event experience: knows the etiquette, holds a conversation, doesn't stand out from the audience. Agreed 2-3 weeks before the gala.

Meetings under 2 hours. Mass events without a personal client. Sharing a model's photos with third parties. Scenarios with a risk to the model's safety. Haggling after the meeting. We don't do any of this and we talk it all through at the agreement stage so there are no surprises.

Free of charge — minimum 24 hours ahead in ordinary weeks, 7 days ahead for F1/Yacht Show/Top Marques. Later — a compensation share (usually 30-50% of the fee). Cancellation an hour before the meeting on the day — half the slot due. Rescheduling to another date with the same model — no penalty if she's free.

Telegram @Apex_concierge — the only official APEX channel. No phone calls, no other messengers. It's a deliberate position — all details in writing, end-to-end encryption, and for urgent matters the messenger is faster than a voice call.
