13th Monaco Energy Boat Challenge

From 8-11 July 2026, Yacht Club de Monaco is organising the 13th Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, supported by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, UBS, BMW and SBM Offshore. 

The Monaco Energy Boat Challenge is a race with an ambitious finish line. It is not just about crossing the line first, but also about using alternative designs and energy sources that reduce environmental impact. These can include solar energy, hydrogen, electricity, and other renewable energy sources. The event will also continue to support innovation with the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation Sustainable Yachting Technology Award, which will be presented for the best technological solution in energy efficiency and/or carbon emission reduction. A true open-air laboratory focused on sustainable propulsion technologies, the event will bring together 43 teams representing 21 nationalities from Europe, Asia, North America, the Middle East and Africa, all united by a shared ambition: to drive forward the energy transition in the yachting sector.
