Casiraghi has piloted the “Jolt 6,” one of the boats that has participated in the six grueling events that make up the Admiral’s Cup. During ten days of competition, the team has sailed between Plymouth and Cherbourg, facing extreme conditions on the high seas. This edition has also included the dreaded Rolex Fastnet Race, considered one of the most dangerous events in the nautical world.
The return of the Admiral’s Cup: Pierre Casiraghi and the Yacht Club de Monaco make history
The Admiral’s Cup has returned this year after two decades without being held, which has made this victory even more special.

Overcoming this regatta has been not only a show of skill and courage but also a tribute to the sailors who have attempted it before.
With this victory, the Yacht Club de Monaco officially enters the history of international sailing. Pierre Casiraghi, husband of Beatrice Borromeo and passionate about the sea, has shown that the new generation of the Grimaldi family continues to leave its mark in the most demanding arenas. “For Monaco, this is historic,” he stated after receiving the trophy, visibly moved.
