With the focus on World Oceans Day, Yacht Club de Monaco has an update on the initiatives it implements throughout the year to support the environmental transition in the yachting sector. Driven by the forward-looking vision of HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, under the aegis of its ‘Monaco, Capital of Advanced Yachting’ approach, these actions are based on one simple conviction: that the sector’s future depends on concrete, measurable and collective solutions. At the heart of its strategy is the SEA Index® which has established itself as the benchmark tool for assessing and improving the environmental performance of yachts.
As mobilising the younger generation is central to tackling environmental issues, the Club actively supports innovation through its Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (13th edition: 8 to 11 July 2026). Since its launch in 2014, this international event has served as an open-air laboratory, with the sole aim of accelerating the energy transition in the maritime sector. Every year, students, universities, engineering colleges and industry players descend on Monaco to compare solutions and test their prototypes on the sea in an environment that champions collective intelligence.
On World Oceans Day, Yacht Club de Monaco’s actions are a reminder that the sector’s transformation is already underway. From the development of the SEA Index® to the ongoing improvements to its infrastructure and its support for innovation, the Club is pursuing one over-riding objective: to unite the whole industry, ashore and at sea, behind building a more responsible yachting industry for future generations.
