Be it on Optimists, Bugs, ILCA or J/70s, not only does a qualified team of instructors and coaches teach them sailing but also the importance of protecting the marine environment.

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.
2014
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
Legacy
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.
Areas
In accordance with its statutes, the YCM is enabling the Club to fulfil its missions: on one hand as a private Club, dedicated exclusively to its 2,500 members (80 nationalities), and on the other by reinforcing its role as a nautical hub for the port and catalyst for the yachting industry, with a range of new spaces available for events.
International
The YCM fully intends to contribute to the Principality’s attractiveness, by offering owners and professionals in the sector a new tool to promote Monaco’s reputation, the ultimate goal being to make Monaco the world capital of yachting.
