A Show Stopping 16th Edition of the Fraser Yachts Captain\'s Dinner

This year, the prestigious Charter Captain of the year award went to Captain Graham Wilkinson of S/Y PRANA.

The awards were presented by Lisa Peck, Global Marketing Manager of Fraser Yachts, Roberto Giorgi Chairman of Fraser Yachts, and Raphael Sauleau CEO of Fraser Yachts.

The prizes were generously provided by the sponsors of the evening, many of them long standing partners. Ulysse Nardin once again sponsored the Charter Captain of the year award with a stunning Marine Chronometer Manufacture watch. Other gifts for the winning captain included 2 weeks free berthing courtesy of Port Adriano, an imperial bottle of L'Esprit de Provence Rose provided by Le Grand Cros (voted best rose in the world by Decanter magazine), a desktop writing set by Sabrina Monte Carlo and a Go Pro donated by Equiom.

Gastronomywise, prior to the awards ceremony guests were able to sample some exquisite caviar generously provided by Boyar Caviar, purveyors of fine Siberian sturgeon, Oscietra and Beluga caviar. Guests then enjoyed a delicious hot and cold buffet and a cocktail bar complete with flair barmen, whilst the wine was provided by VSF through the generosity of the vineyard Le Grand Cros.

The entertainment this year had an exotic feel with Brazilian themed dancing by Compagnie Corps et Danse, a live singer, the legendary Port Adriano Fun Parade and a DJ made sure the dance floor was packed all evening with guests dancing into the early hours of the morning. Those wanting a more relaxed evening reclined on the beautiful Paola Lenti furniture provided by Sabrina while enjoying the magnificent view of over 100 yachts on display in the Port of Monaco, while others on the terrace enjoyed the cigars provided by My Fathers Cigars.
