Monaco Energy Boat Challenge
July 2 - July 5
Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, organized by the Yacht Club de Monaco, will be held on July 2–5, 2025.
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. One of the key innovations in the 12th Monaco Energy Boat Challenge will be the expansion of the Energy category, which has served as a laboratory for testing zero-emission prototypes since 2018. This year, the Solar class will be discontinued and replaced by more diverse and promising solutions, which will be showcased in the Energy category or the Sea Lab category, as well as the new AI category starting in 2025. In the AI category, participants will have the opportunity to showcase autonomous vessels, marking an important step in the integration of artificial intelligence into the maritime industry.
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.
