21st Captains & Crew Awards Soiree
Fraser once again hosted the renowned Captains and Crew Awards Soiree at the Yacht Club de Monaco during the Monaco Yacht Show. The 21st edition of the Awards was the pinnacle of an outstanding week for Fraser which saw the largest line-up of yachts on display in the show, including the largest yacht on display, CARINTHIA VII, now available for charter.
The renowned Captains and Crew Awards are held each year to thank Captains and Crew for going the extra mile in delivering incredible experiences for the Owners, guests, and Charterers throughout the year.
This year the Awards also celebrated the centenary of the birth of His Serene Highness Prince Rainier III, and all that he and his son, His Serene Highness Prince Albert II have done and continue to do, to make Monaco the Advanced Capital of Yachting that it is today.
To help with these celebrations Fraser was proud to welcome to the stage Bernard d’Alessandri, the General Secretary of the Yacht Club de Monaco, Claudia Batthyany, Project Manager for Monaco the Advanced Capital of Yachting and Pierrik Devic, Charter broker at Fraser and Monaco’s Yachtsman of the Year.
