Monaco Grand Prix: Racing event or Super Yacht event?

The opulent principality of Monaco squeezed into just 200 hectares, might be the world’s second-smallest country (the Vatican is smaller), but what it lacks in size it makes up for in attitude and glamour. A magnet for high-rollers and hedonists since the early 20th century, it's also one of the world's most notorious tax havens (residents pay no income tax). It's also famous for its annual Formula 1 Grand Prix.

Of course the best place to watch all the racing action is in Port Hercules where the yachts in the prime berths are just metres away from the racetrack. More than 130 super yachts were in harbour on the Thursday last year so that guests could enjoy the Practice Day action.

USP Maritime does a significant amount of design, build and management support for vessels similar to the wonderful array of Super yachts on display in Port Hercules and moored offshore in the Harbour. A tremendous amount of work goes into enabling the annual peacocking of Billionaires at the Grand Prix. In particular the Yacht Management companies and the individual crews of large yachts have been in touch with USP Maritime’s senior management.

Our dedicated technical engineering team is proud to work with such clients who truly operate at the pinnacle of the maritime industry in terms of quality, presentation and professionalism.

If you are interested in a discrete conversation about how USP Maritime can help your Yacht or shore-based technical office from build and refit management please pick up the phone and speak to us.
