Cecile, a native of France, is a long-time resident of South Florida. She trained as a journalist, worked in daily newspapers, and explored other fields, including hospitality, until a chance encounter revealed a new career path as a marine journalist and later as editor of a glossy yachting magazine. She joined the BOAT family in 2013 as an editor for ShowBoats International — now BOAT International US Edition. She loves to write about design and people especially, although she has seldom encountered a topic that did not interest her. Aside from writing and editing, she co-chairs BOAT’s Design & Innovation Awards.


During this year’s Monaco Yacht Show, an exclusive cocktail reception was hosted for members of the BOAT International Captains’ Club. Held on shore for the first time at Monte Carlo’s Crazy Pizza, the event was supported by the Captains’ Club annual partner Starboard Card and event partners Pendennis and DNV.

This year’s venue was still a stone’s throw from the action, located in Port Hercule in the prestigious district of Monte Carlo. Event partner and risk management experts DNV supplied chic branded backpacks for members of the Captains’ Club and their guests.

Catered by Crazy Pizza, the food provided was buffet-style with a variety of pizzas alongside trays of San Daniele ham, focaccia, fried squid, zucchini and arancini. A selection of soft drinks and beers accompanied bottles of Côtes de Provence, Vallombrosa Cuvée Prunelle Rosé and Villa Minelli Pinot Grigio delle Venezie.
