YC Monaco

cluster yachting monaco

Ten years of commitment from Monaco's yachting professionals.

since 2014

Initiated by the Yacht Club de Monaco and chaired by Bernard d’Alessandri, the “Yachting Monaco” Cluster, which brings together over 90 companies, is one of the first in the world solely dedicated to yachting industry professionals. Building on the actions of the Strategic Council for Attractiveness (a branch of the Monaco government), its goal is to be a platform for dialogue with decision-making authorities and a center of competitiveness bringing together businesses and interconnected structures within the same sector, with a unifying approach. Since its creation, the “Yachting Monaco” Cluster has played a key role as a unifier and privileged intermediary within this industry. By bringing together a wide range of actors – from brokers to designers, shipyards, equipment suppliers, and many other professionals – it has managed to create a unique synergy, fostering innovation and sustainable growth in this largely unknown sector.
