Port Hercule is bracing for four dense days of debuts. The Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) will assemble around 120 superyachts, with nearly half premiering worldwide, plus more than 50 luxury tenders, in a historic showcase for buyers, charterers, and design obsessives alike.
What’s New
More world premieres than ever feature freshly delivered flagships to meticulous refits. The fleet spans 24m to 110m+, curated by top brokerages and shipyards to reflect the market’s tilt toward bigger builds, bespoke layouts, and tech-forward engineering.
This year there will be an even bigger business village. Expect nearly 560 companies across yards, naval architects, equipment makers, and luxury houses, underscoring Monaco’s role as the industry’s annual deal room.
Sustainability is integrated into the event more and more. MYS launches Blue Wake™, a new programme (developed with the Water Revolution Foundation) that spotlights rigorously vetted, lower-impact solutions across the show, an evolution of the Sustainability Hub introduced in 2022. Look for onsite marks identifying approved tech and materials, plus the new Blue Wake™ Awards.
The show has been reimagined as a campus with a Yacht Design & Innovation Hub where you’ll find a concentrated look at future concepts and custom commissions from leading studios.
Not to forget about the Adventure Area featuring toys, exploration kits and 40+ luxury vehicles, for owners plotting off-the-grid itineraries, or just serious fun.
The Upper Deck Lounge is primed with lifestyle, interiors, and services curated for time-pressed principals and their teams.
Culture on the quays. The Ultimate Photographic Expo!
French photographer Guillaume Plisson brings Tribute to Yachting: 100 large-format images installed throughout the show, with a preview at the Grand Opening Night. It’s a clever counterpoint to the hardware, a walkable gallery that traces the human stories behind the boats.
By the numbers
Dates: Wednesday–Saturday, 24–27 September 2025 (Wednesday is invitation-only).
Fleet value: displays in the past have been pegged at €4.5bn by BOAT Pro; 2025 no doubt aims even higher.
Remember to plan your route for the best experience. The official superyacht and tender lists update regularly; book onboard visits early.
And for the ultimate VIP gig, Sapphire Experience is the show’s officially sanctioned VIP programme, useful for guided access and concierge-level scheduling.
Monaco sets the tone
No other venue compresses so much new tonnage, technology and decision-makers into four walkable days. The 34th edition doubles down on premieres and verified sustainability, turning Port Hercule into both a launchpad and a litmus test for where superyachting goes next.
