IYC to host annual Grand Prix parties during 75th Monaco Grand Prix

25th May 2017

The 75^th edition of the world famous Monaco Grand Prix is in full swing, with three days of racing held in the heart of the principality from 25 – 28 May. Superyachts and the Grand Prix have long gone hand in hand, with a superyacht the most sought after spot to view the racing from. Large numbers of yachts, including several of the IYC fleet, have gathered in Monaco to enjoy first-hand the fast and furious racing that is as popular today as it was back in the 1929 when the event first began.

Today, just as in 1929, a coveted trackside position is the best way to see all the racing action and the IYC office is ideally located for this by the start and finish line of the race circuit, boasting panoramic views in the heart of all the action. The IYC office is so close to the start line you can smell the rubber in the air and practically touch the cars as they speed around, burning up lap after lap.

Over the course of weekend racing IYC will be hosting captains and clients at the Monaco office for a one of a kind unforgettable Grand Prix experience. IYC’s popular parties have proved to be a much-anticipated annual tradition, welcoming key industry players to the IYC office for these highly enjoyable events. Partnering with leading provisioners Les Coins de Chefs, refit shipyard Compositeworks and fine wine suppliers Onshore Cellars, the events will combine gracious hosting with delectable food, award-winning wines and good company. The first event will be held during the qualifiers on 27 May, with the second during the exciting finals on 28 May.

IYC has a strong presence in Monaco with a large team and office in operation, providing year round support for clients and yachts in the region. With the peak summer season already underway the French Riviera is a hugely popular destination for the IYC charter fleet and the Monaco Grand Prix is just one event in a packed and exciting summer calendar for the region.
