Yacht Club de Monaco by Assouline

Monaco has just 2.38 miles of coastline — officially the shortest of any sovereign nation — yet its relationship with the sea is as deep and storied as any port in the world. At the heart of that relationship sits the Yacht Club de Monaco, a roughly 2,000-member institution housed in a landmark building designed by Norman Foster, perched at the edge of Port Hercules with the Mediterranean shimmering below. Assouline's tribute to the Club spans 192 pages and more than 140 photographs and illustrations, offering a rare inside look at one of yachting's most exclusive institutions. It is the kind of book that belongs open on a coffee table, beside a glass of something chilled, ideally with the sound of water not too far away. $120.
