For the occasion of the 20th Monaco Yacht Show, Bernard d’Alessandri, Secretary General of the Yacht Club de Monaco has awarded the first “La Belle Classe Environment” Prize to Massimo Perotti, President of Sanlorenzo for the Ameglia boatyard rehabilitation project.

Built in the Montemarcello Reserve near the Magra River, this new complex designed by the architect Stefano Boeri is one of the first “eco-responsible” boatyards. The yard has already attained ISO 14001 certification and will have plant fibre walls, phyto-filters and photovoltaic panels among other eco-friendly features.

“Sanlorenzo attention to the environment has always been very sensitive. Our Headquarter and the Ameglia Division are located inside a Natural Park and we are surrounded by natural beauties that we respect with the highest attention and this attitude helps us to build our motor yachts with the same attention and respect to the building process, to the workers and, generally speaking, to the environment. I am very glad that all these environmental efforts have been awarded with the “La Belle Classe” and recognized by such a prestigious organization as the Yacht Club de Monaco which has been showing since a long time high sensitivity to our planet.” said Massimo Perotti.

La Belle Classe is a label established by the Yacht Club de Monaco, at the instigation of H.S.H. Prince Albert II, President of the Yacht Club de Monaco, to unite all those involved in the Yachting sector.

Its aim is to promote technological innovation in the ongoing quest to improve boats; to safeguard the environment and the sea (by encouraging a responsible attitude, use of new or existing innovative techniques, etc); and to have respect for etiquette (crew and owner dress code, courtesy and solidarity rules among members of “La Belle Classe”).

With “La Belle Classe Superyachts”, the Yacht Club de Monaco wants to be in a position to welcome, assist and raise awareness among 40m-plus yacht owners of our maritime culture, and to encourage yachting professionals to adopt a philosophy which is respectful of the environment.
