Long time MonacoUSA member Shaun Murphy has launched a new business Riviera Sailing Vacations, which sounds like fun, the Association said.

“Join us on August 12  for a wonderful day’s sailing along the Cote d’Azur aboard a lovely ocean-going sail yacht,” Shaun said.

“The adventure begins in Menton Garavan marina at a leisurely 10:00 and we sail across the beautiful Bay of Menton while you enjoy a variety of snacks and drinks. We then round Cap Martin into the Bay of Monaco sailing close to Monaco’s coastline and the anchored Superyachts before heading to the Bay of Plage Mala for a 2-course lunch with wine and a swim.

“We hug the coast on the way back and raise a champagne toast to a great day arriving around 16:30.”

The price is 110 euros per person and includes a day of sailing, from 10:00 until 17:00, snacks and drinks en route, drinks and lunch at anchor, and a champagne farewell toast to the day. Maximum 10 people. There is a 10 per cent discount for up-to-date subscribed members of MonacoUSA.
