One of the most important events in the super yacht calendar, The Monaco Yacht Show kicks off on September 19 and runs until September 22. The 22nd edition of the Monaco Yacht Show is showcasing a fleet of 103 superyachts for four days, turning the Port Hercules marina into the host for some of the world’s biggest and most luxurious vessels. The latest designs and constructions will be seen by more than 28,000 visitors including industry experts.
This year’s selection includes more than 100 boats, from 25 to 90 meters (82 to 295 ft) in length. In addition, over 500 exhibitors will be presenting their latest accessories such as cars, jets, watches, gadgets, and toys for boat owners.
The show this year includes some of the biggest super yacht manufacturers such as OceAnco, Lurssen, Feadship, Azimut and Benetti, among others.
Among the brands taking part in this year’s show are BMW, the watch company Ulysee Nardin, crystal maker Baccarat and aviation company Bombadier Aerospace.
During the show organizers will grant the MYS Prix du Design award to the boat with the most innovative design. Last year the award was granted to yacht SATORI (50m or 164ft) from the shipyard Heesen Yachts, with an interior design by Remi Tessier.
