The 2014 edition of the Monaco Yacht Show is now less than two months away, making it an opportune time to reflect on what this world renowned event has come to represent, both in terms of it being a symbol of a truly iconic location, and as an economic driver for the yachting industry.
Consequently, the focus of our newsletter today is to take a detailed look at what we have described as “the true home of the superyacht community”. Amongst the subjects we discuss is the opening for the brand new Yacht Club de Monaco, which Superyachts.com were fortunate enough to visit some months back.
