The Monaco Yacht Show returns from 27 to 30 September 2017 at the iconic Port Hercules, welcoming approximately 34,000 attendees from across the global yachting and luxury sectors. Widely regarded as the most prestigious superyacht event in the Mediterranean, the Monaco Yacht Show sets the benchmark for excellence, innovation and scale.
Now in its 27th edition and held under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, the Monaco Yacht Show is the ultimate stage for unveiling the world’s largest and most spectacular yachts. It is here that major shipyards debut flagship launches, brokerage houses present elite superyachts for sale and charter, and industry leaders reveal the latest advancements in marine design and engineering.
Why the Monaco Yacht Show Matters
Unlike other boat shows, the Monaco Yacht Show focuses squarely on the superyacht sector. Visitors can expect to see an extraordinary concentration of vessels over 25 metres, including some of the largest yachts afloat. The show also highlights cutting-edge developments in marine technology, luxury yacht services, tenders, water toys and onboard lifestyle innovations.
The event attracts serious yacht buyers, influential brokers, naval architects, designers, equipment manufacturers and high-end luxury brands. It has become a cornerstone of the global yachting calendar — not simply a showcase, but a networking hub where significant deals are initiated and industry trends are shaped.
2017 Highlights
For 2017, Quai Antoine 1er takes centre stage with the relocation of the Car Deck, the introduction of the new Starboard lounge and a dedicated Tenders and Toys exhibition zone. These enhancements reflect the Monaco Yacht Show’s ongoing evolution and commitment to refining the visitor experience while embracing the expanding luxury ecosystem surrounding superyachts.
A Setting Like No Other
Set against the dramatic backdrop of Monaco’s harbour and skyline, the Monaco Yacht Show offers an atmosphere unmatched by any other marine event. Superyachts line the quays beneath the Mediterranean sun, while private lounges, invitation-only receptions and luxury showcases reinforce the Principality’s reputation as the epicentre of global yachting.
For industry professionals, buyers and enthusiasts alike, the Monaco Yacht Show remains the definitive showcase of innovation, craftsmanship and ultra-luxury at sea.
