One Spirit, One Team, One Club
To be a member of the Yacht Club de Monaco is above all a commitment. It is a desire to preserve a certain ethic, both on land and on the water, and to foster a respect for naval etiquette and preservation of the environment. The Yacht Club de Monaco’s philosophy is based on the need to perpetuate but also to pass on a heritage, inherited from our ancestors, to ensure that the Yacht Club remains a lively and progressive place.
To become a member is to embrace a ‘club spirit’ based on loyalty to certain rules and principles, and to disseminate this spirit as widely as possible. It is to encourage each person’s initiatives, to favour dialogue between members, and uphold the values of solidarity and willingness to help all those who love the sea. At the same time, it is to ensure yachting is encouraged in a Principality which is constantly evolving. These are the aims of the 2,500 Yacht Club de Monaco members (73 nationalities) who perpetuate this art of living their daily lives through their passion for the sea.
