An international showcase for superyachting
The MYS stands out for its "in-water show" format: in the harbour, more than 120 superyachts are presented under real visiting conditions, accompanied by some sixty luxury tenders. Each year, the show unveils around forty new launches, making the Monaco Yacht Show a reference platform for discovering the latest innovations in the sector.
The fleet on display has an average length of around 50 metres, with mega-yachts exceeding 100 metres. Around the quays, a complete ecosystem comes together: more than 560 exhibitors bringing together designers, naval architects, builders, equipment manufacturers, brokers and specialist service companies in the world of luxury yachting.
New for 2026: the BOAT Lounge and BOAT Radio
Among the new features announced for 2026, the Monaco Yacht Show and BOAT International are launching the BOAT Lounge at the Monaco Yacht Show, a new space designed as a place for meeting, exchange and networking at the heart of the event.
Conceived for owners, industry players and show visitors, this lounge will host BOAT Radio, a series of podcasts recorded in front of a live audience throughout the duration of the show. Discussions will bring together owners, designers, shipyards, brokers and industry experts to explore the major market trends, innovations, new projects and the issues shaping the future of yachting in Monaco.
The announced programme includes the opening conference of the Monaco Yacht Show 2026 on Wednesday 23 September, daily BOAT Radio sessions, end-of-day networking sessions and, on Thursday 24 September, an invitation-only "Introduction to Superyacht Ownership" session. The full programme is yet to be confirmed by the organisers in the coming months.
A show committed to more responsible yachting
The Monaco Yacht Show has been developing an eco-responsible approach for several years, taking action on mobility, waste management and energy. The MYS is also committed to working alongside the Government of Monaco: by signing the Mission for Energy Transition (MTE) pact in 2022, the organisers are aligning themselves with a drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the Principality.
The Blue Wake™ programme highlights sustainable solutions, in collaboration with the Water Revolution Foundation, and makes these innovations more visible to participants.

Monaco Yacht Summit: understanding industry trends
Alongside the visits, the Monaco Yacht Summit shapes the professional dimension of the show through conferences and round tables. The topics covered shed light on market developments, technological innovation, client expectations and the challenges of environmental transition.
The MYS, the place to Sea
Founded in 1991 by French entrepreneur Maurice Cohen, the MYS displays afloat around a hundred unique and exceptional superyachts built by the world's greatest shipbuilders, and presents along the quays a multitude of companies, maritime brokers and other major players in yachting.
In recent years, the show has expanded its exhibition offering to ultra-high-end markets intrinsically linked to the superyachting lifestyle, showcasing luxury products, cars and motorcycles, helicopters and private jet manufacturers, all within the festive and glamorous atmosphere of the Principality of Monaco.
Not to be missed…
As night falls, the superyachts reveal themselves in an entirely different atmosphere, offering you a spectacular and unique sight as they light up in a blaze of colour.
