Yacht Club Monaco

Founded in 1953 by Prince Rainier and presided over by HSH Prince Sovereign Albert II since 1984, the Yacht Club de Monaco brings together more than 2.500 members from 80 nationalities. Many of the world’s most prestigious private yachts fly the Yacht Club de Monaco’s burgee, testimony to its unique position on the international yachting scene.

Inauguration of the new YCM building

At 43°44’15’’ N and 7°25’40’’ E, this hi-tech building which looks like a liner docked on Quai Louis II is home to two of the Principality’s historic clubs: the Société Nautique (rowing club) and the Yacht Club, a meeting point for owners and focus of international yachting activities. Alongside Lord Foster and Monegasque architect Alexandre Giraldi, Jacques Grange and Nelson Wilmotte have put their talents to the service of the new building’s interior and exterior layout and design.

“ Allow me to express a very sincere wish that the Yacht Club de Monaco fulfil its mission as a link between people who love the sea, that it serves the interests ”

— Prince Rainier III

To be a member of the Yacht Club de Monaco is above all a commitment. It is a desire to preserve a certain ethic, both on land and on the water, and to foster a respect for naval etiquette and preservation of the environment. The Yacht Club de Monaco’s philosophy is based on the need to perpetuate but also to pass on a heritage, inherited from our ancestors, to ensure that the Yacht Club remains a lively and progressive place.

Monaco Yacht Club Celebrates its 70th Anniversary with a Summer Cocktail

Particularly special this year… the summer cocktail, much anticipated, dovetailed with the 70th anniversary celebrations of the Yacht Club , whose birth year is 1953 . 

Every occasion at the Yacht Club in 2023 is naturally turning into a double celebration often made extra special by the presence of the Sovereign , who on this occasion was surrounded by about 1500 members . 

A perfect time to remember Prince Albert’s father, Rainier III , who was energized to bring together all those who love the sea in a unique Club within the Principality. Prince Albert speaks proudly of his father’s vision to make the YCM an exclusive place where yachting is lived, enjoyed and celebrated, thus contributing to the promotion of Monaco as a global destination . And the tribute to Prince Rainier continues with praise for his acumen in creating the Yacht Club to preserve and pass on maritime traditions, while promoting innovation and the development of yachting. 

And, as if standing on Prince Rainier’s shoulders, Prince Albert has placed priority on protecting the oceans first and foremost bringing environmental issues to the fore as a priority. In effect the Principality is a beacon for the nautical industry, acting as a catalyst in environmental transition. 

More and more the Monaco Yacht Club members have become demonstrators of new eco-responsible solutions played out through the theme “Monaco, Capital of Advanced Yachting”. 

High profile also and a regular reminder of the impetus towards green innovation is the 10th Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, from July 3rd to 8th. 

Hundreds of young engineers representing 25 nations and 25 universities are gathering to meet industry professionals. Such key players as Oceanco, Ferretti, Sanlorenzo, Lürssen, Monaco Marine and Palumbo SY Refit take part. 

Hardly a quarter goes by when The Yacht Club de Monaco is not able to find an opportunity to continue radiating the message to protect the environment. On September 24th and 25th, YCM is hosting the 3rd Monaco Smart & Sustainable Marina Rendezvous . The specific aim of the event is to present innovative solutions for the development of virtuous marinas.

The YCM plays a powerful role as an ambassador carrying its values high through its high profile record-breaking international exploits of icons such as Malizia-Seaexplorer of Team Malizia , founded by Pierre Casiraghi, vice-president of the Yacht Club of Monaco. Having just finished The Ocean Race, the IMOCA will stop in Monaco on July 5th. 

Tuiga , the flagship of the YCM, another ambassador is fresh from a campaign and will play its role in the next Monaco Classic Week-La Belle Classe , from September 13th to 16th. 

Thirty new members were able to enjoy this summer members’ cocktail. They can now join in and encourage distinguished athletes like Alexander Ehlen, seeking to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics. 

The Sovereign took the opportunity to congratulate Peter Harburg, recent winner of the 70th Rolex Giraglia . The two gold medals obtained at the Games of the Small States by the laserist Noah Garcia and by Boris Jeremenko, head valet of the YCM also received praise. 

Who in Monaco is the Latest to Fast-Track to 2 Michelin Stars?

Will there soon be 10.000 monegasques, several thousand people celebrated prince albert’s 66th birthday, pole powerhouse: can leclerc convert qualifying success into race wins, what exactly is this magnificent sacred art reborn in the chapel of mercy, better phone reception in monaco and other news, how many new monegasques were just inducted into the great monegasque family, amazónico monte-carlo opens in april…, the world’s top players set to compete, 63rd monte-carlo television festival to celebrate 50th anniversary of iconic series little house on the prairie.

Monaco Yacht Club celebrates 2022, looks forward to 2023

Posted by Staff Writer | Dec 22, 2022 | Yachting & Aviation

Celebrating the arrival of new members and rewarding the best sailors of 2022, the Yacht Club de Monaco gathered for the traditional winter cocktail party at the presence of its President HSH Prince Albert II and Minister of State HE Mr Pierre Dartout.

“It’s a pleasure to welcome the new members in our community and it’s an important moment because our members contribute to spreading the values of the Club as well as our responsibility to tackle climate change and support ocean preservation. This year has been relevant sport-wise, as well, with the J/70 World championship which has seen more than 400 sailors from 23 nations and 90 boats competing”, Prince Albert said.

“It’s an occasion for different generations to share their passion of the sea and everyone has its own way of living that passion. It’s a moment when we can all share and discover what achievements some members have done in the year so it’s really enjoyable”, added YCM vice-president Pierre Casiraghi.  

In 2022, YCM was also active offshore with two members on the start of the 12th Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe. Boris Herrmann (Malizia-Seaexplorer) and Oren Nataf (Rayon Vert) were competing in this legendary solo race, “We were very proud to have two boats flying the YCM flag on the start of this prestigious transatlantic,” continued the sovereign. Boris Herrmann, skipper for Team Malizia founded by Pierre Casiraghi, will be heading for Alicante in Spain for the start on January 15 of The Ocean Race, round the world in stages with crew.

The Credit Suisse Trophy for YCM Sailor of the year 2022, went to Pierrik Devic. Nominated for the first time, Devic has distinguished himself by his remarkable regularity in the J/70 classification. Crowned Vice-World Champion of the series in Monaco, he has shown extreme consistency throughout the season. “It’s a great honour and a great pleasure. I have to thank my team, it’s been a year of hard work and it’s an amazing achievement for us. For me ambience it’s very important. You can’t have a great result without a strong team and you need a great atmosphere on board which the Yacht Club is providing through the coaches and the environment”, said Devik.

At the dawn of a new year and the 70th celebrations, YCM intends to maintain its course on major sporting, environmental and innovative projects, under the aegis of the Monaco Capital of Advanced Yachting, to contribute to the development of sustainable yachting.

River Cruise on Luxurious Radisson Boat

• Description
• Choose date

Equipped with ice-breaking technology, these huge fancy yachts are the only river cruisers running all year around. The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).
