Timeless. Stylish. Unforgettable.
Where Vintage and Classic Yachts Come Alive
Every two years, Monaco becomes the stage for a rare sight — fleets of classic yachts, Riva motor launches, and sailing dinghies sharing the same stretch of water. Since its debut in 1995, Monaco Classic Week has brought together sailors, restorers, and enthusiasts who see yachting as both heritage and art form. In the heart of Monaco’s harbour, it remains a spectacle, yet one defined by authenticity rather than show.
But the Monaco Classic Week is more than racing. It’s a curated journey into the world of maritime elegance – with moments that stay with you long after the sails have been lowered. Highlights include the Chefs’ Competition, where top chefs craft gourmet creations from handpicked market baskets; the Concours d’Élégance, where classic yachts parade in full splendour; and exclusive evenings at the prestigious Yacht Club de Monaco – from the Opening Cocktail to the White Night Crew Party and the festive Closing Ceremony.
September 2027 marks the next edition of Monaco Classic Week. Whether you are an experienced sailor, drawn to the beauty of classic yachts, or simply enjoy the distinctive atmosphere of Monaco, you will feel at home here. Places on board are limited and in high demand, so early registration is recommended for those wishing to be part of this remarkable event.
Reserve your spot. Raise the sails. Join us at the Monaco Classic Week.
Is the Yacht I’m on Officially Entered in the Regatta?
Yes. All our yachts are officially entered in the regatta and compete in their respective classes under the event’s official rules. We race as authentically as possible, making full use of each yacht’s capabilities while always placing safety first. The integrity of the vessel, the crew, and our guests is never compromised — and the atmosphere on board remains calm and confident at all times. No one should ever feel uneasy; sailing with us is about skill and enjoyment, not risk.
As a guest, you are not a passive observer — you are part of the crew and may, if you wish, take an active role in the sailing under the guidance of our professional teams. From the morning briefing to the starting signal and the return to harbour, you experience the regatta exactly as the sailors do.
While performance matters, comfort does too. Throughout the day, guests are looked after with fresh fruit, light snacks, and refreshments — a balance that reflects the spirit of competition and hospitality that defines every one of our events.
Do I Need Sailing Experience to Join a Regatta?
Not at all. Our professional crew will handle all the technical aspects and show you the ropes if you’d like to get involved. There’s no pressure – you can be hands-on or just enjoy the thrill of the race from a comfortable spot on deck. It’s about the experience, not expertise.
What Is the "Alpine Tour & Regatta" Add-on?
For guests travelling by car to the Monaco Classic Week, no one less than rally-legend Christian Geistdörfer is creating an exclusive roadbook for your arrival. With his detailed route descriptions, he takes us along the most picturesque Alpine roads and the most legendary special stages of the Rally Monte Carlo all the way to Monaco. Start your engine and experience historic automotive culture up close, breathe the mountain air at the legendary Col du Turini, and look forward to your upcoming sailing adventure.
Christian Geistdörfer is considered the most successful co-driver in German racing history. As Walter Röhrl‘s co-driver, he won the world championship title two times, and in just five years, the two of them won the Rally Monte Carlo four times. All guests also receive a signed edition of his book “Unsere 4 Monte Siege.”

Can a Regatta Be Sustainable?
We believe it can. For us, sustainability isn’t a slogan – it’s a conscious choice that shapes everything we do, on board and beyond. When you join one of our classic regattas, you’re not just stepping onto a beautiful yacht. You become part of a carefully curated event: powered by the wind, in harmony with nature, and guided by a deep respect for craftsmanship, tradition, and the environment.
Our yachts are not disposable products – they’re living history. Many of them have been sailing for generations. Their survival depends on skilled restoration, continuous maintenance, and thoughtful use. They stand for something rare today: longevity, not fast consumption.
Our commitment to sustainability extends to every part of the regatta experience:
- Our shuttle service is provided with electric vehicles, keeping emissions as low as possible.
- Our catering comes from trusted local producers who can clearly trace the origin of their ingredients and contribute to the local economy.
- We avoid single-use plastics and use reusable, sustainable tableware for all food service.
- Our crew wear is supplied by PAYPER, an Italian brand known for ethical production and quality. Their clothing is made from 100% premium cotton – designed to last long after the event. Learn more here.
Our regattas are not mass events – they are designed with intention. Small groups. Personal connections. A meaningful atmosphere that honours nature, tradition, and the human touch.
We know that not everything is perfect yet – but every conscious step matters.
They may be small steps – but they are intentional. They mark the beginning of a journey where sustainability and quality go hand in hand. Because true experiences do not begin with sacrifice – they begin with a choice to enjoy more mindfully.
Join the Monaco Classic Week for the entire regatta or just a day.

ORIANDA
The 1937 sailing yacht Oriana stands as a remarkable symbol of nautical history, a vessel that has weathered the passage of time with elegance and resilience. Crafted in an era when sailing was as much an art as it was a mode of travel, Oriana encapsulates the grace of the past while continuing to inspire sailors and dreamers today.
With her classic lines and timeless design, Oriana is not just a yacht but a floating work of art. Every curve of her hull, every detail of her rigging, and the countless footsteps on her teak decks speak to a time when boats were built to be both functional and beautiful. She is a reminder of an age when craftsmanship was revered, and the sea was a place of adventure and discovery.
Designed by Oscar W Dahlstrom, as an 85-foot (26-meter) staysail schooner for King Christian of Denmark, Oriana was was completed in 1938 by Carl Andersen’s shipyard in Faaborg, Denmark. Her sleek lines and balanced proportions testify to Dahlstrom’s design genius.
Oriana comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests in four beautifully appointed cabins, with a dedicated captain and crew ready to whisk you away on a sailing adventure in unparalleled elegance. She is also available for racing charters, including participation in prestigious events like the Voiles de Saint Tropez and other classic sailing yacht regattas.

Later, some may receive an invitation to the Yacht Club — live music, a drink, a view over the water. Others drift into the city, where laughter and the hum of conversation spill onto the streets. And for a few, the night leads uphill to the glow of the Monte Carlo Casino, where fortune waits behind a turn of the wheel. Monaco at dusk, where the city begins to glow
Monaco Stays: Hotel Luxury vs. Apartment Flexibility
Hotel or Apartment?
Deciding between a hotel and a private apartment in Monaco depends on what you value most during your stay. Hotels offer the convenience of services such as daily housekeeping, room service, and a concierge, often located near major attractions and dining. This option is great for those seeking comfort and minimal hassle, though it may come at a higher cost and with less space. On the other hand, renting a private apartment can be more economical, especially for groups or longer stays. Apartments provide more living space, a homely feel, and the opportunity to save on meals by cooking. However, this option lacks the immediate service and amenities of a hotel, and the quality of rentals can vary.
Ultimately, the choice should align with your needs for service, space, budget, and how much you value privacy during your visit to Monaco. Explore a variety of hotels and apartments available in Monaco here.
