In Love with the Sea: Yacht Club de Monaco celebrates 70th Anniversary

Monaco’s unequivocal love for the Mediterranean has made it synonymous with yachting. With access to dozens of countries, cultures and histories at its doorstep, the Yacht Club de Monaco is a lasting and proud symbol of adventure, affluence, limitless possibility and the passionate bond forged between a sailer and the glittering depths of the open water. This year, the YCM is celebrating its 70th anniversary with a grand program of events which are within the frame of Monaco, Capital of  Advanced  Yachting approach, sure to make any wandering yachtsman or woman want to drop anchor in Port Hercules and enjoy the festivities.

Port constructed by ancient mythical hero… Hercules!

Port Hercules is one of the only deep-water ports along the entire French Riviera. Ancient Greeks and Romans used the port in 600BC. At the time, the port was dotted with altars to the mythical hero and demigod, Hercules. Texts by Roman Emperor Julian stated that Hercules himself constructed Monaco’s port and coastal road.

Monaco starts to become the epicentre of yachting over 160 years ago…  

Because Prince Charles III wanted Monaco to be renowned for both yachting and innovation, he inspired the Principality’s first regattas in 1862. His son, Prince Albert I, inherited a passion for the sea and became a renowned navigator, explorer and pioneer of oceanography. In 1904, when road races were banned because they were deemed too dangerous, SBM launched the “Exhibition and International Motorboat Meeting”. Leading car manufacturers flocked to Monaco to test their new engines on water. Monaco was starting to become the centre of the boating world.  

In 1953, Prince Rainier III, who was known for his passion for bringing people together, looked beyond the sporting aspect of yachting and established the Yacht Club de Monaco. The Prince saw the Club as a way to create friendships and bonds between people who love the sea through a rich variety of social events. Prince Rainier III immediately agreed to become the YCM’s president and, one year later, the Club began organizing meetings and international events, as well as scuba-diving and fishing adventures. All these events resulted in a 50% increase in boats frequenting Monaco’s harbour.  

The next generations of sailors began getting formal training when the YCM set up its Sailing School inaugurated in 1970. Two years later, the Builder Prince encouraged boat-making genius Carlo Riva (who created the iconic mahogany Monte-Carlo Offshorer yachts) to build the first dry port.

The Yacht Club’s hi-tech Home

With the goal of sheltering the port from strong easterly winds, Prince Rainier III launched several studies in the 1970s, which culminated in a colossal, semi-floating harbour wall. Completed in 2002, the wall is 350 metres long, weighs 160,000 tonnes and has been praised for its inventive design. The project was completed with a breakwater, which formed the marina in front of Quai Louis II, now home to the Yacht Club de Monaco’s new clubhouse.

Completed in 2014, the hi-tech building looks like a liner docked on the Quai. The Club boasts 5,000 m 2 of interior space and 4,000 m 2 of terraces. The emblematic building was sustainably designed with solar panels, a sea water cooling system and uses natural light and ventilation. Domestic materials such as European oak were used for the terraces and recycled materials were used for the foundations. Local companies were employed for its construction. The building demonstrates the YCM’s profound commitment to the planet.

HSH Prince Albert II continued the work begun by his father by spearheading redevelopments which continue to make Port Hercules the most modern and practical marina on the Mediterranean, positioning Monaco as the Capital of Yachting. In 1984, Prince Albert II was appointed as President of the Yacht Club by his father. The first year of his presidency saw the launch of the Primo Cup and the Monaco-New York transatlantic race. The Monaco Classic Week — La Belle Classe was created in 1994.

La Belle Classe Academy  

The YCM’s La Belle Classe Academy is dedicated to anyone involved in yachting, from captains and crew members to future owners. Opened in 2015, expert teachers in state-of-the-art facilities teach students about everything from basic safety training and navigation to pleasure boating and sustainability.

How to become a member of the Yacht Club

“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,” — YCM.

The Yacht Club de Monaco currently has over 2,500 members from 81 nationalities who all share a passion for the sea. To become a member, one needs to be introduced by two sponsors, who are both YCM society members. (Anyone who has been a society member for more than one year may propose one applicant per session.) Twice a year, Prince Albert II convenes a meeting of the Admissions Committee to examine all applications. New members are officially welcomed to the YCM with a cocktail party.

Members adhere to ten golden rules, which include: to promote the Yacht Club and the Principality at every occasion, to actively participate in the sporting and social life of the YCM, to respect the YCM dress code at all official events, to fly the YCM flag on one’s yacht and to invite other members who share a passion for yachting.

Packed program of events celebrate YCM’s anniversary all year-long

On International Women’s Day, the Yacht Club de Monaco announced the very first women-only regatta in Monaco, called ‘Woman Leading and Sailing’. The Pink Wave team, a large group of YCM sailors of all levels, were responsible for organizing the regatta. A dozen crews each with five-women battled it out aboard their J/70s for the first Woman Leading and Sailing Trophy between 25–26 March 2023.

10th Monaco Energy Boat Challenge and the first YCM E-Boat Rally (3–8 July)

What better way to celebrate the future of yachting than by investigating alternative energy sources? The Monaco Energy Boat Challenge brings young engineers from colleges and universities around the world into contact with yachting industry players. The goal is to get creative by designing alternative propulsion systems, with everyone sharing information on open source. The first ever YCM E-Boat Rally will be held during this year’s event. A record number of electric boats is expected in Monaco’s harbour.

YCM Marina Concert (9 September)

Lionel Richie, Sting, Elton John and Duran Duran have all performed during this exclusive concert set right on the YCM Marina. The performer for this year’s one-of-a-kind concert is Måneskin rock band from Italy.  

Monaco Classic Week — La Belle Classe (13–16 September)

The charm of traditional yachting comes back to Monaco during Monaco Classic Week — La Belle Classe. This 16th edition will be an opportunity to discover the most prestigious vintage sailboats, classic yachts and motorboats. The 2023 event will also be celebrating the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Prince Rainier III, founder of the YCM.

The Principality’s passion for yachting transcends time and is steeped in the structures, people and spirit of the Yacht Club de Monaco. Because at its very core, Monaco is completely in love with the sea.

Yacht Club de Monaco: more than a yacht club

Home Environment Yacht Club de Monaco: more than a yacht club

Established by Prince Rainier III in 1953, the Yacht Club de Monaco is the emblem of Monegasque yachting. Since 2014, it has had its own emblematic building, a striking piece of architecture by Britain’s Norman Foster.

With its sleek lines and architecture reminiscent of an ocean liner, the Yacht Club de Monaco’s headquarters building never fails to provoke a reaction. Officially unveiled in 2014, it was designed by Pritzker Prize winner Norman Foster.

“This building has been designed like a miniature city, integrated into the existing urban landscape of Monaco,” explains the architect, who was also behind the Millennium Bridge (2000), Millau Viaduct (2004), Camp Nou Stadium in Barcelona (2007) and Vieux Port in Marseille (2013).

Chaired since 1984 by Prince Albert II , the Yacht Club de Monaco, with its 2,000 members representing 60 nationalities and prestigious yachts , illustrates Monaco’s historic role in the world of yachting .

The first regattas organised in the Principality date back to 1862, while the first international motorboat races – which arrived with the development of the first combustion engines – were contested in Port Hercule in 1904.

Today, the Yacht Club de Monaco organises a number of regattas, such as Monaco Classic Week, the Primo Cup and, more recently, the Monaco Solar and Energy Boat Challenge One.

“As part of our ‘Monaco, capital of yachting’ project, through this event the Principality helps to bring together manufacturers, engineers, shipyards, students and ship owners to share their experiences and respond to the energy and environmental challenges facing the nautical sector,” says Bernard d’Alessandri, Secretary General of the Yacht Club de Monaco.

The YCM has two influential ambassadors: Le Tuiga, considered by sailor Eric Tabarly to be “one of the most beautiful yachts in the world”, takes part in major classic yacht events, while the Seaexplorer (formerly Malizia II) , the eco-friendly vessel that took Greta Thunberg across the Atlantic in summer 2019 to attend the UN Climate Summit, finished fifth in the Vendée Globe 2020, the first time it has taken part in the race.

Text description provided by the architects. The yacht club is the symbolic centrepiece of the Monaco's remodelled harbour front. It celebrates the principality's spectacular coastline and its nautical heritage, creating a series of deck-like terraces that step up along the harbour to offer unrivalled views out to races at sea or inland over the course of the renowned Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit. Located on an area of reclaimed land, the development extends the city's existing marina eastwards and can accommodate a range of craft, from sailing boats to 100-metre super yachts.

The club is entered via a glazed atrium that frames views out over the harbour to the palace. On the first floor are a clubroom, bar and restaurant

Above is a double-height function space, and above that an apartment for the club secretary and a series of 'cabins' for visiting guests. The uppermost floors accommodate a range of event spaces. The observation decks are shaded by retractable fabric screens supported by a mast and booms. The harbour elevations are fully glazed and shaded by louvres, and can be opened up to provide uninterrupted views. Photovoltaic cells, solar thermal panels and sea-water cooling systems have all been integrated to ensure the building sets new sustainability standards, in line with Monaco's environmental ambitions.

The scheme also introduces shops and other amenities at quay level to animate the harbour.

The lower floors accommodate a rowing club and sailing school, whose sliding doors encourage activities to spread out on to the quayside. Designed largely for children, the school provides classrooms, workshops and lofts for small boats. Inland, there is a landscaped park on the roof of the sailing school and nautical society. Bounded on one side by the club's restaurant terrace and leading on the other side to a new exhibition hall, it complements the sequence of green spaces in this densely populated city and forms a new link in the pedestrian route between the quayside and Casino Square.

foster + partners anchors monaco yacht club in monte carlo

in order to offer guests and members uninterrupted race views, the fully glazed elevations can be opened up. external observation decks are shaded by retractable fabric screens, supported by masts and booms that continue the nautical theme. built on reclaimed land, the club provides for a range of craft – from sailing boats to 25-60 meter superyachts.

shops and public spaces at ground level assert the project as a community destination, while a landscaped rooftop park is bound on one side by the club’s restaurant terrace. the building is powered by renewable energy, with photovoltaic cells, solar thermal panels and sea water cooling systems designed to take advantage of the waterside location.

‘the building is a little like a city in microcosm, with schools, parks, offices, restaurants, a network of interior circulation ‘streets’ and a hierarchy of public and private, social and functional spaces. it is a continuation of monaco’s dense urban fabric, as well as the yacht club’s traditions and will be an important part of civic life. every child in monaco learns sailing at some stage during their education and those lessons will be in the new building – as a result, the yacht club will become even more rooted, in a public sense, in the principality and part of its cultural and urban fabric’ , explained lord foster.

‘with all of our projects, our approach to sustainability is to maximize the natural advantages of the local climate, while mitigating its extremes. we have also used locally sourced or recycled materials. our starting point for the yacht club was extensive analysis of the climate and the way that the different spaces are used. photovoltaic cells and solar thermal panels convert monaco’s sunshine to energy, while the sea water is used for cooling and the facades can open completely to allow natural ventilation. to provide shade in the summer, there are sail-like canopies – a reference to the nautical traditions that monaco is famous for’ , furthered nigel dancey, senior partner at foster + partners.

Design: Foster + Partners

Grand opening of new building for the Yacht Club de Monaco

Opening celebrations were held on Friday at the Yacht Club de Monaco , led by HSH Prince Albert II and attended by Lord Foster and the club’s members. The new building forms the centrepiece of the remodelled harbour – its impressive new social and sporting facilities preserve the club’s heritage and traditions, while reinforcing Monaco as the leading international centre for yachting excellence and further developing the Principality’s thriving yacht industry.

Designed in response to the local climate, the new clubhouse sets high standards for sustainable design – the building is powered by renewable energy and incorporates photovoltaic cells, solar thermal panels and sea water cooling systems to take advantage of the sun and waterfront site. The architecture is a celebration of sailing – its large, deck-like terraces step up along the harbour to offer unrivalled views out to races at sea, as well as views inland over the Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit.

The club is entered via a glazed courtyard that frames views out over the harbour to the palace. The first floor, called deck two, features a club room, bar restaurant and swimming pool and is exclusive to YCM members. Above this courtyard is a double-height function space, executive offices and a series of ‘cabins’ for visiting guests. The uppermost floors accommodate a range of event spaces, and the quality in its detailing reflects the high levels of service for which the club is renowned. The fully glazed harbour elevations can be opened up to provide uninterrupted views, while the open air observation decks and cascading terraces are shaded by retractable fabric screens, supported by masts and booms to evoke the image of a ship moored in the harbour.

The yacht club is built on reclaimed land and extends the harbour to the east – the new YCM Marina can accommodate a range of craft, including sailing boats, and has 26 berths for 25-60 metre superyachts. Shops and public spaces animate the harbour level, reinforcing the club’s role as a destination for the whole community, as well as accommodating the Principality’s historic rowing club and the YCM’s sailing school – sliding doors encourage activities to spread out on to the quayside. Designed largely for children, the school provides classrooms, workshops and lofts for small boats.

Inland, there is a landscaped park on the roof of the sailing school and rowing club. Bounded on one side by the club’s restaurant terrace and leading on the other side to a new space for cultural activities, it complements the sequence of green spaces in this densely populated city and forms a new link in the pedestrian route between the quayside and Casino Square.

Lord Foster: “The building is a little like a city in microcosm, with schools, parks, offices, restaurants, a network of interior circulation ‘streets’ and a hierarchy of public and private, social and functional spaces. It is a continuation of Monaco’s dense urban fabric, as well as the Yacht Club’s traditions and will be an important part of civic life. Every child in Monaco learns sailing at some stage during their education and those lessons will be in the new building – as a result, the Yacht Club will become even more rooted, in a public sense, in the Principality and part of its cultural and urban fabric.”

Nigel Dancey, Senior Partner at Foster + Partners: “With all of our projects, our approach to sustainability is to maximise the natural advantages of the local climate, while mitigating its extremes.

MONTECARLO YACHT CHARTER: THE EXCLUSIVE PRINCIPALITY OF MONACO

Monte carlo enjoys a reputation of wealth and international prestige far beyond its borders. monaco, the second smallest country in the world, is bordered by france from three sides and therefore a pearl of the french mediterranean coast. having been among the favorite retreats of royalty, artists, and billionaires for a long time, monaco attracts hordes of celebrities and high-end visitors throughout the year..

Monaco is proof that the charm of old glamour endures. Especially today, it is one of the A-listed destinations of luxury cruises and attracts countless visitors every year. It is the unique history of the microstate that fascinates visitors until today. From the beginning of the Grimaldi dynasty’s reign in the 12th century to today’s reigning sovereign, Prince Albert II of Monaco, the principality has an exceptional history. Still very present today is also the late Princess Grace of Monaco, better known to some as Grace Kelly. Her influence onto the country, from social works to her glamorous personality itself, is still very much alive today.

The social calendar of a Monaco yacht charter 

Arrive in the harbour of Fontvieille or Port Hercule to get that perfect, first look onto the principality. Note the decadent mix of luxurious motor and sailing yachts throughout the berths of both harbours. The mild climate allows an excellent stay throughout the entire year, however, July and August are high seasons for enjoying a luxury Monte Carlo yacht charter. Additionally, May is a highly popular month for a Monaco yacht charter, as the Monaco E-Prix, Historic Grand Prix and Formula 1 Grand Prix take place one after the other. Nothing compares to enjoying the amenities of a private charter yacht while watching some of the greatest sport events in the world. Besides that Monaco also becomes a hub for the international yachting community in September, when it hosts the prestigious Monaco Yacht Show .

Monte Carlo, mostly known for its famous Casino, also boasts countless attractions for sport enthusiasts. From scuba diving and dolphin-watching excursions to the beautiful Monte Carlo golf Club, a Monaco yacht charter offers something for every charter guest. Additionally, we recommend a visit to the stunning Jardin Exotique , which features a massive variety of plants and is the world’s biggest rock garden, offering a unique experience in a vibrant and fragrant setting.

The top-rated beaches to visit on a Monte Carlo yacht rental

Monte Carlo’s offer does not stop at its charming gardens, berths for every type of vessel and walks down the streets of the old town. It also features some of the greatest beaches and beach clubs in the French Riviera. Head to Larvotto for a relaxed day by the seaside, and mingle with Monaco’s locals. Don’t miss out on the private beaches, boosting excellent service, food and drinks like La Note Bleue and Miami Plage. For a very private beach day, we recommend the Monte Carlo Beach, where Chanel famously presented its Monte Carlo resort collection in 2022. In the evening, head back to your superyacht and gaze at the nightlights of the city on your Monte Carlo yacht charter .

Removed from the clubs and premium restaurants are churches and old sites, where luxury boats and exclusive design studios make way for romantic alleys to explore by foot, appreciating their many unique details.

Trains in Monaco

Discover & book Monaco train services

Travelling by train is perfect for those who want to sit back, relax and see a bit more of the countryside and the region that surrounds Monaco. There is a good train service between the main cities in France and across Europe and the coastal area to the south of France and Monaco.

Nearest train station to Monaco

The main train station in Monaco, the Gare de Monaco Monte Carlo, is situated at Place Sainte Dévote in Monaco Ville on the border with France and conveniently close to the harbour at Port Hercule and the Place du Casino. It is well-connected to the surrounding village areas, as well as with the SNCF high-speed trains coming from some of the main cities in France, such as Paris, Marseille and Nice.

Travelling by train in Monaco

SNCF (Societé Nationale des Chemins de Fer Français) is France's national railway company, owned by the French state, operating throughout continental France and Monaco. There are over 32,000 kilometres of railway laid all across the country, a good chunk of them sustaining high-speed services, the world-renowned TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) which reaches average speeds of around 320km/h. Trains connect cities and towns all around France and even cross the border into Spain, Italy, Switzerland and Belgium. Many routes will begin in Paris, stopping at convenient stations throughout the country before arriving in Monaco. The SNCF website has information for TGV and national rail service timetables. TGV train tickets must be bought in advance and there are a whole host of special offers available for families, seniors, and groups throughout the year. Tickets can be purchased online or at any train station in France.

International train routes to Monaco

The Italian Trenitalia train service connects Monaco to Italian cities like Milan, Genoa, Rome and Venice.

Palermo-Montecarlo 2024 : Record largement battu pour Tristan Le Brun qui remporte la fameuse régate

La superbe course fait évoluer, chaque année, une cinquantaine de navires entre les îles de Sicile, Sardaigne et Corse pour atteindre finalement le continent à Monaco.

Cette 19e édition, organisée par le Circolo della Vela Sicilia en collaboration avec le Yacht Club de Monaco et le Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, a vu concourir trois membres du club monégasque : Andrea Statari, Paul Basson et Tristan Le Brun.

Un trio de tête observé dès le début

Au commencement de la course et lors du passage du Capo Gallo, une zone réputée pour ses vents capricieux, les équipages ont été confrontés à des choix tactiques cruciaux notamment choisir entre rester au centre de la mer Tyrrhénienne ou se diriger vers la Sardaigne en comptant sur les brises côtières.

Black Jack 100 bat son propre record

Pourtant, la course de 500 milles nautiques qui séparent Palerme de Monaco a été couronné de succès pour le voilier Black Jack 100 . Barré par Tristan Le Brun, membre du Yacht Club de Monaco, l’équipage a battu son propre record en temsp réel établi en 2015, alors sous le nom de Esimit Europa 2 , avec un temps record de 47 heures, 46 minutes et 48 secondes. 

Cette année, le bateau n’a eu besoin que de 44 heures, 34 minutes et 22 secondes pour rejoindre Monaco, remportant de fait le Trophée Giuseppe Tasca D’Almerita. Un record qui ne doit rien au hasard mais a une bataille acharnée entre les deux favoris : Lucky et Black Jack 100.

«  Lucky nous a rendu la course difficile  » a commenté Tristan Le Brun, «  on a donc opté pour une stratégie pour ne jamais perdre de distance sur lui, ne pas lui laisser une opportunité de s’échapper. Pour nous, ce résultat est un honneur, un challenge et une partie d’une réussite puisque l’on s’est fixé de battre le plus grand nombre de records possibles détenus par Esimit.  »
