A glittering evening at the 22nd Fraser Captains’ Soiree and Awards

Captains, crew, Fraser and friends from the industry came together again at the Yacht Club de Monaco during the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show for the 22nd Captains’ Soiree and Awards.

An eagerly anticipated event each year, the Soiree recognizes and celebrates the hard work of Captains and crew across the Fraser-managed and charter-managed fleets, who go the extra mile to deliver unforgettable experiences for Owners, guests, and Charterers every day.

These awards are specifically for Fraser's EU-managed fleets of yachts, with the awards for the US fleets being presented during FLIBS.

Fraser CEO Anders Kurtén presented awards across five categories, in collaboration with our generous event partners who supplied the prizes. Anders was joined on stage by Bernard d’Alessandri, General Secretary of the Yacht Club de Monaco, for the introduction.
