Blue Marine
Yacht Club

Blue Marine Yacht Club (BMYC) was launched in 2012 by Prince Albert II of Monaco, its Founding Patron, and has at its heart the health of the ocean. By putting the superyacht community on the front line of marine conservation, the BMYC mobilises an industry that loves and relies on the ocean, one that can direct major resources into tackling the problems the ocean faces and help to slow climate change.

Members play an active role in ensuring that our ocean remains a resource to be enjoyed by future generations, lending their support not just with financial donations, but with their influence, connections, and expertise. This enables Blue Marine to unlock new project areas, increase global marine protection and restore vital sea habitats.

The Club has attracted influential supporters from the yachting world including: Ernesto and Kirsty Bertarelli, Sir Charles Dunstone, Peter Lürssen, Andrew and Jane Winch, Imperial Yachts, Benetti, Feadship, Princess Zahra Aga Khan, Matthew Freud, Simon Le Bon, and David and Melissa MacNeil.

To join the BMYC is to team up with a committed group of people who have a unique ability to influence the way the ocean is managed for years to come.

The BMYC is among the most exclusive clubs in the world, one in which every single member has demonstrated a deep and lasting commitment to protecting the ocean.

It is unique among yacht clubs in that it has no boathouse, no slipway and no home harbour. Its home is wherever its members’ sail.

“I love being a member because it’s the only yacht club that enables you to turn the tide!”

Peter Lürssen, CEO of Lürssen Yachts, 3-star BMYC member.

Members come from all corners of the yachting community, each committing to the active support of Blue Marine. Support is delivered through three tiers of annual yacht club membership donations, which go directly to support Blue Marine’s mission and global portfolio of projects.

Each level of support is denoted by beautiful and distinctive burgee exclusively designed by Ralph Lauren, which indicates your commitment to the BMYC and the ocean.

The burgees are emblazoned with one, two or three gold stars to indicate the level of support given by the member and their commitment to the ocean.

Only members of the BMYC have the right to fly the burgee which gives its owners a distinct yet understated profile in the yachting world as active protectors of the ocean.

“All who look to the ocean for recreation and adventure also owe it to themselves to support Blue Marine’s cause. The yachting community should be proud to fly the Blue Marine Yacht Club ensign as a symbol of our collective commitment to conserving the world’s oceans.”

The late Ed Dubois, April 1952 – March 2016, British Yacht Designer, Founding BMYC member.
