Oktoberfest
October 2025 : Ein Prosit
More than a tradition… the Yacht Club de Monaco’s Oktoberfest is now an institution. Under the impetus of Anne-Marie Winkler and Laila Schlereth, surrounded by numerous members of the ever-active German community, the Y.C.M. is decked out in white and blue to transform itself into a grand Bavarian brasserie. Every year, this event brings together some 500 Club members, all lovers of “good foam”, dressed in a “Dirndl”, an apron dress for the women and a “Lederhose” for the men…

YCM EXPLORER AWARDS
BY LA BELLE CLASSE SUPERYACHTS
YCM Explorer Awards by La Belle Classe Superyachts recognise owners who take their environmental responsibilities seriously. The major criteria for these awards are the owner’s conception of their superyacht, how they use it and what it can do for humanity. It could be a technical innovation that significantly reduces the yacht’s CO2 emissions, the assistance given to scientists, or just an ability to pass on and share adventures at sea so that many more people come to respect, love and protect the Ocean.
