Monaco is one of the few places in the world where fast cars meet super yachts, creating an electrifying atmosphere that permeates the streets-come-race track. The port fills with some of the Riviera’s finest yachts, making it possibly the best way to entertain your guests during this top event. Once the race is finished, you can take your guests on a very special cruise to the surrounding bays of Monaco and the French Riviera. It may be too late to get in on the action for this weekend, but it is never too early to start planning for next year!
