23 to 26 September 2026 : the Monaco Yacht Show takes over Port Hercule.
Approximately 120 yachts are on display, including 43 unveiled to the public for the first time.
More than 500 international companies showcase their expertise, from design to cutting-edge technologies.
Sustainable innovations and eco-friendly solutions take centre stage through the Blue Wake programme.
The event is an opportunity to enjoy the Monegasque art of living at Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer establishments.

Luxury, creativity, elegance: An unmatched fusion

A reflection of a prestigious lifestyle, the Monaco Yacht Show transports you to a world where superyachts compete in splendour and elegance. The only global event dedicated to yachts over 25 metres, it is an extraordinary platform. “What this fleet offers a client exists nowhere else in the world,” saysToby Moore, CEO of Informa Prestige, the organiser of the MYS. Yachting enthusiasts can discover the latest innovations and find inspiration for ordering the boat of their dreams. “In four days and in a single harbour, you can walk the deck of 43 yachts delivered this year, alongside the shipyards that built them and the brokers who will handle their charter, management or resale. At a time when a new order with a leading shipyard means waiting until 2028 or beyond, this concentration is the first tangible benefit the show brings to clients.”

Builders are preparing to unveil new models belonging to the exclusive club of prestige vessels, which visitors can admire and even explore from the deck to the interiors during an onboard visit.
