The highly selective Monaco Yacht Club is reserved for a clientele passionate about sailing and the nautical world in general. There is an admission process. Applicants must first be nominated by two sponsors who have been members of the YCM for over a year.

Once the application has been sent to the Membership Department, it will be reviewed by an Admissions Committee chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Albert II. If accepted, the new member will be officially admitted at a cocktail reception attended by all YCM members.

The role of the sponsor is not to be taken lightly, as it includes, among other things, the integration of the new member into club life and the introduction to the other members.
