It is the Monaco Smart and Sustainable Marina Rendezvous taking place at the Yacht Club de Monaco on 24th and 25th September. Under the aegis of its collective Monaco, Capital of Advanced Yachting approach, Ycm has become a platform of communication, hosting international events and, under its President HSH Prince Albert II, it aims to position the Principality as a spearhead for responsible yachting in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

“Monaco has long fostered a tradition of innovation since the turn of the 20th century when it organised the first powerboat meetings, a living heritage we will pay tribute to during Monaco Classic Week-La Belle Classe (13-16 September). Now, we are returning to the pure yachting DNA, a more authentic and measured usage by putting forward sustainable solutions.
