The Monaco Yacht Show 2026 is taking place from 23–26 September at Port Hercule, bringing together the international luxury yachting community for the 35th edition of one of the world’s most prestigious superyacht events.
Held under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, the Monaco Yacht Show has been a key meeting point for the global luxury yachting industry since 1991. Each year, the event brings together leading shipyards, yacht brokers, designers, naval architects and specialist companies, creating a unique showcase of the latest developments in the world of superyachts.
A Showcase of Superyachts in Port Hercule
One of the defining characteristics of the Monaco Yacht Show is its in-water format. More than 120 superyachts are on display throughout Port Hercule, allowing visitors and prospective yacht buyers to experience the vessels firsthand in their natural environment.
The fleet includes yachts with an average length of approximately 50 metres, alongside some of the world’s largest mega-yachts, including vessels exceeding 100 metres in length.
Around 60 luxury tenders are also on display, adding another dimension to the extensive selection of yachts and marine products presented during the show.
New Yacht Launches and Innovation
The Monaco Yacht Show 2026 is also providing a platform for the latest generation of yachts and marine technology. Around 40 new yacht launches are being presented during the event, giving visitors an insight into the future of luxury yachting.
From innovative naval architecture and exterior design to sophisticated interiors, advanced technology and new approaches to efficiency and sustainability, the show brings together many of the developments currently shaping the superyacht industry.
For yacht owners and prospective buyers, the event provides an opportunity to meet directly with leading shipyards, designers and yacht brokers while exploring both new-build and brokerage opportunities.
A Global Meeting Point for the Yachting Industry
Beyond the yachts themselves, the Monaco Yacht Show brings together a complete ecosystem of luxury yachting. More than 560 exhibitors are participating, including yacht builders, designers, naval architects, equipment manufacturers, brokers and specialist service providers.
This makes the event an important meeting point for professionals and clients from across the international yachting market, while also providing an opportunity to discuss new projects, yacht acquisitions, refits, charter opportunities and the latest industry trends.
