Yacht Club de Monaco wins the Admiral’s Cup 2025 on debut, with a little help from Richard Mille.
In July, iconic offshore racing festival the Admiral’s Cup returned after a 22-year pause. In its thrilling first appearance, the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM) won on debut, securing its overall victory with two exceptional boats: Jolt 3 and Jolt 6.
It was a story team work and determination. Jolt 3 was helmed by Peter Harrison, CEO of Richard Mille EMEA; Jolt 6 by Pierre Casiraghi, Richard Mille partner and Vice-President of YCM. “We pushed and pushed,” Harrison said. “I’m delighted for the team and for the Yacht Club de Monaco.” Casiraghi added: “Harsh conditions, long hours—our unity carried us through.”
Shore side, the atmosphere was electric. Early light over Port Hercules, coffee on the terrace as sails head out; then the return—salt on the skin, jackets over linen, conversations that carry into the evening. The win folded neatly into that pace of life: sport in the day, elegance after dark. On the wrist, the same language. Casiraghi wore the Richard Mille RM 67-02 Automatic Extra Flat—ultralight, built to move, more tool than trophy.
The 2025 result is more than another trophy in Port Hercule. It confirms YCM’s program is competitive at the top level and shows how Richard Mille’s focus on performance carries through the campaign. Preparations for the next edition are already underway.
