The Casiraghi family has ties to Italian business and yachting; Stefano Casiraghi was associated with offshore powerboat racing linked to events such as the Monaco Grand Prix support calendar. As a member of the House of Grimaldi, he occupies a position within the line of succession to the Monégasque throne under the succession rules instituted during the reign of Rainier III, Prince of Monaco and affirmed by Albert II, Prince of Monaco.

He has undertaken entrepreneurial roles in sectors including event organization, motorsport team management, and luxury maritime services that interact with companies and events like Yves Saint Laurent–era couture circles and the Mediterranean luxury market anchored by ports like Monte Carlo Harbour and shipyards in Liguria. Casiraghi has been involved with ventures that collaborate with entities such as Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and private firms engaged in sustainable development projects in the Mediterranean basin, often working alongside NGOs and cultural organizations from France, Italy, and Monaco.
Active in competitive motorsport, Casiraghi has competed in series connected to Formula Three–level development and endurance racing formats that intersect with events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans–style endurance culture and European GT championships. He has raced in GT and prototype categories at circuits associated with major events at Circuit de Monaco, Circuit Paul Ricard, Monza Circuit, Silverstone Circuit, and Spa-Francorchamps. Beyond automobile racing, he has participated in offshore and classic sailing regattas tied to Mediterranean traditions represented by events like the Régates de Cannes and regattas hosted from harbors in Nice and Saint-Tropez.
