Monaco Classic Week, the Riviera’s most elegant celebration of vintage yachting, sets sail once again from 10 to 13 September 2025 in the historic Port Hercule. Hosted by the prestigious Yacht Club de Monaco, this biennial event brings together an exclusive fleet of wooden sailing yachts, motorboats, and period Rivas in a tribute to maritime heritage and the art of living at sea.
An Invitation-Only Fleet of Icons
Carefully curated and strictly invitation-only, the event features legendary classics like the gaff-rigged schooner Tuiga (1909) and Partridge (1885), offering a rare glimpse into yachting’s golden age. Each vessel is a floating piece of history, lovingly restored and proudly raced in front of Monaco’s palace-lined coast.
Racing, Elegance & Tradition
Across four days, owners, crew, and guests partake in friendly regattas, precision maneuvering trials, and the highly anticipated Concours d’Élégance, where yachts are judged not only on aesthetics but also crew presentation and authenticity.
Lifestyle on Land
The onshore programme reflects Monaco’s signature glamour, with highlights including:
- A Chefs’ Competition showcasing refined dishes prepared onboard with local produce.
- Elegant evening soirées and a Champagne-fuelled opening night.
- The closing awards ceremony, where tradition and prestige take center stage.
Art de Vivre La Mer
More than a regatta, Monaco Classic Week is a living celebration of classic yachting culture. It’s a moment where craftsmanship meets conviviality, where teak decks and linen sails revive the elegance of a bygone era—reaffirming Monaco’s legacy as the heart of Mediterranean sailing.
