Prince Rainier III founded the YCM’s Sailing Division in 1970. All year round the Sailing School teaches and coaches young sailors as part of the National Education Department’s policy and the Club’s own sailing programme, from beginners to competition level. Be it on Optimists, Bugs, Lasers 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
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 73 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.
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 2,000 members (68 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.
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.
