Monaco will host the fifth stage of the UIM E1 World Championship on July 18 and 19, showcasing a unique racing event dedicated to 100% electric boats.

Following a successful launch in 2024, where Team Brady emerged victorious amid a celebrity-filled atmosphere, the 2025 edition is poised to enhance its reputation.

Nine international teams, each comprising a male and a female pilot, will compete.

Notable supporters of the event include figures such as Didier Drogba, Rafael Nadal, and Will Smith, emphasizing its global appeal.

Tom Chiappe, hailing from Rouen, will represent French hopes as part of Team Rafa, which excelled during last year's qualifications in Monaco.

His determination is anticipated to be a crucial element in this year's competition.

The Yacht Club de Monaco continues to play a pivotal role by hosting the Pilot Academy, which aims to uncover and develop future talents in the maritime field.

Sara Misir from Team Blue Rising and Micah Wilkinson from Team Drogba have already secured podium finishes, reflecting the program's success.

Following events in Doha, Dubrovnik, Lagos, and Miami, Monaco serves as a significant highlight in the championship, which prioritizes sustainable development in maritime mobility.
