Monaco Classic Week
The first gathering in the world to highlight sailing and motor boats, Monaco Classic Week is a biennial event that takes place in September and testifies to the Principality's attachment to the sea that lines its landscape.
A vibrant tribute to traditional yachting, Monaco Classic Week keeps the maritime art of living alive and remains one of the most important classic sailing events for yachtsmen.
Monaco Classic Week - La Belle Classe
Since 1994, Monaco Classic Week is a unique event in the world that brings together in the same port the most beautiful yachts of the past in the heart of the Yacht Club Monaco.
During 4 days, in a "roaring twenties" atmosphere, yachtsmen and visitors are invited to discover these jewels that undulate on the sea, from vintage motor yachts to traditional sailboats and vintage motorboats.
More than 150 units are unveiled every two years under a label that unites shipowners and sailors, La Belle Classe, an "art of living the sea" whose values range from the transmission of a heritage, maritime culture, preservation of heritage and environmental protection.
Don't miss the 16th edition of Monaco Classic Week will take place in 2023 from September 13 to 16.
An onshore and offshore program
During the next edition, the presence of the metric classes will be the great novelty. This fleet, which has won numerous Olympic titles and international regattas, will compete in the maritime races alongside motor yachts, classic boats and canoes.
On land, numerous events will complete this maritime showcase with a program of chefs' competitions, exhibitions and stands on the art of living where the biggest brands are associated with the world of boating.
Where to see the boats?
Among the most privileged places for a panoramic view of the docks and the boats during the Monaco Classic Week:
The Saint-Martin Garden in Monaco-Ville.
Nestled between the Oceanographic Museum and Monaco Cathedral, this garden is dotted with Mediterranean species and offers an exceptional view of the Quai Louis II.
On the Rainier III seawall, the recently built solarium is a real link between the vegetation of the rock and the marine environment that borders this space. An ideal setting to watch the unique spectacle of the Monaco Classic Week and to enjoy the facilities completely redesigned last year on the Stefano Casiraghi esplanade, including a restaurant, the Malizia Mar, to enjoy a lunch with a 360° view of the sea.
The terraces of the Yacht Club Monaco
Reserved for members, the splendid terraces of the YCM are the unmissable meeting point for shipowners and yachting professionals.
To become a member of the Yacht Club de Monaco, you must be sponsored by at least two members of the Yacht Club, which gives you access to the many facilities and exclusive events of this maritime club founded in 1904.
Monaco Classic Week VIP invitations
To follow these great races, it is possible to request an invitation for the Sailing Yacht, motor yacht and Dinghy 12', via a form on the official website.
