The largest yachts are moored on Albert Edward Pier and Quay Saint Pierre, and there’s a pontoon network for smaller yachts extending to the north.

It’s a beautiful sight, particularly during the Panerai Classic Regatta series in September when the most gorgeous sailing yachts in the world gather here.
