Yacht Club de Monaco shares its expertise in the concept and development of Yachts Clubs and Marinas
With a view to supporting its owner members in their choice of ports of calls, in 2011 Yacht Club de Monaco launched ‘La Belle Classe Destinations’. This label sets a standard of excellence in terms of quality of facilities, services and safety in superyacht marinas that are being developed around the world.
