Monaco Yacht Show 2026: The Superyacht Market in Motion

The 35th Monaco Yacht Show reaffirmed its standing as the epicenter of superyachting, transforming Port Hercule into a dynamic marketplace from 23 to 26 September 2026. 

Held under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, the event gathered 30,678 visitors and 560 exhibitors representing an industry generating €54 billion annually. With shipyard build slots committed through 2029, Monaco offered immediate access to the finest fleet on the water.

The afloat exhibition showcased 118 superyachts worth a combined €4.5 billion, including 50 delivered in 2026. Standout debuts featured Oceanco’s 111 meter Leviathan alongside the rebuilt 93 meter Draak, Lürssen’s 102.4 meter premiere Nixie, and Turquoise Yachts’ 88 meter Angelique. Other major reveals included Amels’ Pangea, Sanlorenzo’s Silver Fox, ISA Yachts’ Sea Raider X, Baglietto’s T60, and Riva’s Sairu, the largest vessel built by the Italian yard. Brokerage and charter firms also reported strong activity following a first half of 2026 where global sales surpassed €4 billion.

Targeted client engagement drove business across the docks. Exhibitors hosted 13,368 private guests, while show teams prequalified 648 buyers with active projects. Organizers emphasized that MYS functions as a working marketplace to connect serious clients with shipyards and brokers.

Quayside highlights included the new Designer Gallery featuring fourteen elite design studios, the 3D MYS Immersive Experience by VBH, the BOAT Lounge, and an expanded Adventure Area hosting 72 tenders alongside luxury hypercars at the Top Marques Monaco Pavilion.

Sustainability and future market shifts took center stage. The Blue Wake Awards honored six sustainable solutions vetted by the Water Revolution Foundation, with the Special Prize awarded to Ares Yachts’ hybrid ketch Simena. Organizers also presented a €55,000 donation to the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation aboard Benetti’s hybrid Dagger.

The 36th Monaco Yacht Show will take place at Port Hercule from 22 to 25 September 2027.
