Behind every Explorer Yacht is a man and/or woman driven by an insatiable quest for exploration. This unwavering commitment is acknowledged by H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, who states, “Thanks to their strong environmental awareness, yacht owners play and will continue to play a crucial role in marine exploration, providing invaluable support to scientists and local communities. The tradition of exploration, deeply rooted in the history of our Principality and inherited from my great-grandfather, Prince Albert I, reminds us of the urgent need to safeguard our marine environment with respect and devotion.” Since 2019, the Y.C.M. has honored them through this ceremony. In this way, the Yacht Club of Monaco establishes itself as a key player in the environmental transition within the yachting industry, positioning itself primarily as a communication platform for all those involved in shaping the yachting of tomorrow.
