EVENTS

Monaco is one of the most deliciously gorgeous destinations in the world. It has been a favorite playground for the wealthy for years and is the epitome of style and class. The Principality of Monaco – a microstate on the epic French Riviera – is the ultimate luxury destination and a mecca for those with yachts and superyachts.

It’s fitting then, that one of the most-awaited events each year is the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) held over four days in the port of Hercules at the end of September and this year, it’s from September 28 to October 1.

All about Luxury

Created in 1991, the MYS is divided into two main exhibition spaces: afloat and on the quays. Afloat, a hundred superyachts and 50 luxury tenders are exhibited by the most recognized shipbuilders and shipping brokers in the market. Four-hundred and fifty companies, handpicked and representing excellence and innovation in yachting, exhibit on the quays: designers and naval architects, equipment manufacturers and service providers for yachts or manufacturers of tenders and nautical gadgets. In recent years, the show expanded into ultra-high-end markets linked to the lifestyle of superyachting by offering luxury products, cars, motorcycles, helicopters and private jet manufacturers.

Recognized Worldwide

The MYS is recognized worldwide for the exceptional quality of its superyachts and their impressive sizes: among the hundred or so units on display, some 40 new products are unveiled each year. The fleet has an average length of 50 meters and mega yachts exceed 100 meters. The show – organized under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco – has become an emblematic event popular with private visitors attending to discover an incredible concentration of superyachts for purchase or charter and to meet market experts.

New Adventure Area

The MYS new Adventure Area is set to boast a vast range of day-trip and sports tenders, luxury and off-road vehicles, water toys, high-tech gadgets, helicopters and tailor-made programs to explore the planet’s most remote destinations.

The exhibition at Monaco’s Port Hercule: Quai Antoine Ier, previously featured the Car Deck and Tenders & Toys exhibition. The Adventure Area will combine the two themes in a single location. As in previous years, about 20 tenders will be moored at Quai Jarlan.

The Desire for More

The extended exhibition reflects the MYS’s continued ambition to bring visitors the finest yachting experience. Charter clients want to drive all-terrain vehicles to the North Pole, go on underwater excursions, take tender rides off the coast of secluded islands, enjoy tailor-made tours of historical and cultural sites in coastal destinations, discover animal species – while respecting their ecosystems – and even take part in scientific field trips.

By announcing three new themed exhibitions for 2022 – the Sustainability Hub, the Yacht Design & Innovation Hub (new format) and the Adventure Area – the MYS is on course toward its goal of helping the industry redefine yachting and appealing to a new superyacht charter clientele. This new generation challenges current yachting standards and revolutionizes the concept of luxury with its epicurean vision and desire to freely discover new experiences – one that prevails over the need to own, according to MYS organizers.
