Where elegance and yachting combine, the yacht club is one of the most exclusive places in Monaco. The building, whose shape is reminiscent of a ship, houses luxurious lounges, theatres for prestigious ceremonies, private parties and other official presentations. A nautical club founded in 1953, it has nearly 1600 members and brings together owners of classic and modern boats, motor-yachts as well as recreational and regatta sailboats. The club has been chaired by Prince Albert II since 1984.<\/p>\n\n
In 2005, the President of the club launched the “La Belle Classe” label, to unite shipowners around a Charter, defending essential values: respect for etiquette, protection of the environment, preservation of the heritage of classic yachts and innovation for superyachts. <\/p>\n\n
Then, on 20 June 2014, the Yacht Club began a new venture, with the opening of its new Club House, in a building approved by Lord Norman Foster. This showcase of Mon\u00e9gasque Yachting has encouraged – in accordance with the Sovereign’s wishes – the creation of the “Yachting Monaco” Cluster and “La Belle Classe Academy”. The latter is a training centre specialising in super yachting. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":49520,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"listing-category":[2150,2154],"class_list":["post-49742","listing","type-listing","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","listing-category-sports-infrastructures","listing-category-watersports"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
