#EnergyBoatChallenge · MEBC Experience 2026

Quayside

Quayside is where the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge becomes a shared onshore experience. Beyond the races, it invites visitors, professionals and participants to discover the boats, the teams and the technologies up close — turning the quays into a place of discovery, connection and public engagement.

More than a race

An experience that comes ashore

It extends the energy of the rendez-vous beyond the water and transforms the quays into a place of discovery, connection and public engagement — open to everyone throughout the event.

Discover

Get up close to the boats, the teams and the clean-energy technologies, with projects on show across the paddocks and pontoons.

Connect

Meet the engineers, students and industry professionals behind the projects, in a space built for exchange and visibility.

Engage

Open to the public throughout the event, Quayside brings visitors right into the action and the human side of innovation.

Onshore

Spaces to explore

From the paddocks to the Village, the quays bring together the people, the technologies and the energy of the Challenge in one lively waterfront setting.

Hosted in the Hospitality Unit, a meeting point where students and young engineers connect with companies from across the yachting industry.
