In 2026, Viola (1908) and YCM’s flagship the 15M IR Tuiga (1909) will be heading across the Atlantic for an exceptional campaign along the United States East Coast to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence on 4 July. “It will be an ideal moment to celebrate the friendship between Monaco and the US as well as between the YCM and the Manhattan Yacht Club and all the other American clubs that we will visit in July and August,” explains Kostia Belkin, owner of Viola.
After a week dedicated to maritime heritage, Yacht Club de Monaco turns to the future with its Monaco Smart & Sustainable Marina Rendezvous, 21-22 September, focusing on innovation and sustainability, followed by the La Belle Classe Explorer Awards under the chairmanship of Richard Wiese, President of the Explorer Club of New York. These recognise projects where yachts become tools for exploration and science and reflect YCM’s commitment to responsible yachting, illustrated by the SEA Index®, the first index to measure CO2 emissions of superyachts, certified by Lloyd’s Register.
