Astir Marina and the Yacht Club de Monaco have strengthened their cooperation with the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), aimed at obtaining the “La Belle Classe Destinations by YCM” certification.
The certification establishes a standard of excellence in terms of the quality of the facilities, services and events offered, creating a network that promotes the development of sustainable navigation at an international level.
“This partnership marks a new chapter for Astir Marina and the nautical industry in Greece. Our goal is to offer services that meet the highest international standards, while ensuring sustainability and respect for the natural environment of the Athenian Riviera. Our valuable ally on this route is also the Mayor of Vari – Voula Vouliagmeni, Grigoris Konstantellos, who from day one has decisively supported this project, to make Astir Marina a reference point for tourism in our country”, Konstantinos Mitsios, Astir Marina Development Manager, said.
Strategy
This partnership is part of Astir Palace’s ongoing strategy to capitalize on Monaco’s yachting expertise. Since 2019, when the ambitious modernization project of Astir Marina began with the aim of providing high-quality services, the Marina has established itself as a reference for high-end projects. Astir Marina works closely with the Société d’Exploitation des Ports de Monaco (SEPM), covering aspects related to infrastructure planning, technical and environmental issues, as well as the implementation of best practices.
The Astir Yacht Club is expected to open its doors in 2026, becoming a meeting point for lovers of the sea and yachting, creating a new community of maritime activities on the Athenian Riviera.
