A Front-Row Seat to Monaco

Where Motorsport Meets the Magic of Yachting

With insights from Gary Le Cras, Director of Yachting at Bachmann Group

The Monaco Grand Prix is more than a race. It’s a spectacle of precision, passion, and pageantry — an annual gathering where motorsport’s elite meets the world of luxury. For many, it’s a bucket-list event. For Bachmann clients, it’s an experience that blends thrilling sport with the serene elegance of life at sea.

But what if you didn’t just attend the Grand Prix — what if you lived it, from your own floating sanctuary in Port Hercules?

That’s exactly what we help deliver.

At Bachmann Group, our yachting division is led by industry veteran Gary Le Cras, whose decades of experience in marine management and operations make him a trusted name among yacht owners and captains across Europe and beyond. Gary brings a distinctly personal touch to every project — blending maritime know-how with an innate understanding of client needs at high-profile events like Monaco.

“Monaco during race week is unlike anything else,” says Gary. “The yachts become part of the circuit atmosphere — there’s a hum of excitement in the port that you just don’t feel anywhere else. Our job is to make sure our clients don’t have to think about the logistics — they just enjoy every second.”

From securing priority berths and handling customs paperwork, to supporting crew, overseeing provisioning, and ensuring everything runs like clockwork, Gary and his team bring quiet confidence to the chaos.

Whether you're entertaining business partners, celebrating with family, or forging new relationships during Monaco’s most glamorous weekend, your yacht becomes more than a platform. It becomes a statement. A private stage for intimate dinners, late-night conversations, champagne-fuelled celebrations — and of course, the unforgettable sound of Formula 1 engines bouncing off the bay.

For our clients, the magic of Monaco lies not only in the roar of the race but in the gentle clink of glasses at sunset. In laughter among friends. In the peace of knowing everything has been taken care of.

Because we don’t just manage yachts. We take care of people.

Let Gary and the team at Bachmann handle the details while you host, network, relax — and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Your Grand Prix, your yacht, your moment.
