Management plays an important part in the success of each project but also in the maintenance and smooth running of services on board a unit we call “Yacht”, which must be managed as a company in its own right, with its flag representing its State, its Captain as director and its crew as employees.

Over the last three years, Unique Yachting Monaco has experienced a very honourable development and our ambitious objectives in terms of quality of welcome, service and sales should contribute to the animation of the hotel’s perimeters, constantly improving the welcome and seriousness in the Principality, further developing the Monegasque economy thanks to the direct and indirect spin-offs of the yachting industry and its constantly renewed clientele.
