Monaco Classic Week

MISSIONS

Yacht Club de Monaco

Founded in 1953 by Prince Rainier III and chaired since 1984 by H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, the Yacht Club de Monaco is at the heart of the international yachting community. It plays a key role in promoting sustainable yachting and technological innovation through various prestigious initiatives and events.

Missions

Organized by the Yacht Club de Monaco, the Monaco Classic Week showcases the vitality of Monaco’s maritime heritage and the Principality’s attachment to the values it embodies:

Preserve the maritime heritage represented by these often century-old boats, the last witnesses of yesteryear’s leisure boating, which have survived through the centuries thanks to the passion of their owners.
Preserve artisanal know-how, with the involvement of numerous trades, which tend to disappear
Rediscover the joys of traditional navigation, on the occasion of nautical events inspired by those of the last century
Share this passion with the general public through free access to the docks and the Exhibitor Village
Bringing the owners and crews together on land during moments of conviviality in the pure tradition of Monegasque savoir-vivre and its “Art of Living the Sea,” so dear to the Y.C.M.
