Welcome
Team Malizia
Team Malizia was founded in 2016 by Pierre Casiraghi, Vice President of the Yacht Club de Monaco. Pierre Casiraghi and Boris Hermann are racing teammates, very good friends and ocean explorers. They have worked together to create Team Malizia and participate in regattas around the world. With Seaexplorer – Yacht Club de Monaco, an IMOCA 60′, the team is showing its ambitions for 2019 and beyond, for the 2020 Vendée Globe.
A Symbol
The name Malizia, chosen by Pierre, symbolises the Grimaldi family history and their deep connection to the ocean. It translates as “the wily one’’ a name that was given to Francesco Grimaldi in 1297 after he established the family dynasty. Pierre shows that there is a sentimental link to the name and says: “Given what Malizia represents for us in the Principality of Monaco, I’ve always wanted to give this name to a race boat.”
A boat at the service of science & education
Malizia is embarking on an exciting adventure with the Ocean Challenge. Everyone has their own ocean challenge but our mission is to promote ocean science, protection and education around the world whilst inspiring the next generation with sailing adventures.
