An international showcase for superyachting
The MYS stands out for its ‘in-water show’ format: in the harbour, over 120 superyachts are on display in real-life viewing conditions, accompanied by around sixty luxury tenders. Each year, the Yacht Show unveils around forty new launches, making the Monaco Yacht Show a leading platform for discovering the sector’s latest innovations.
The fleet on display has an average length of around 50 metres, with mega-yachts exceeding 100 metres. A comprehensive ecosystem gathers around the quays: over 560 exhibitors, including designers, naval architects, builders, equipment suppliers, brokers and service providers specialising 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 venue for meeting, discussion and networking at the heart of the event.
Designed for owners, industry professionals and visitors to the show, this lounge will notably host BOAT Radio, a series of podcasts recorded live throughout the show. The discussions will bring together owners, designers, shipyards, brokers and industry experts to explore major market trends, innovations, new projects and the challenges 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 finalised by the organisers in the coming months.
A show committed to more responsible yachting
For several years now, the Monaco Yacht Show has been developing an eco-responsible approach, focusing on transport, waste management and energy. The MYS is also committed to working with the Government of Monaco: by signing the Mission for Energy Transition (MTE) pact in 2022, the organisers are playing their part in reducing the Principality’s greenhouse gas emissions.
The Blue Wake™ programme showcases sustainable solutions, in collaboration with the Water Revolution Foundation, and raises awareness of these innovations amongst participants.

Monaco Yacht Summit: understanding industry trends
Alongside the tours, the Monaco Yacht Summit shapes the professional aspect of the show through conferences and round-table discussions. 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 showcases around a hundred unique and exceptional superyachts afloat, built by the world’s leading shipbuilders, and features a multitude of companies, maritime brokers and other major players in the yachting industry on the quays.
In recent years, the show has expanded its exhibition offering to include ultra-high-end markets intrinsically linked to the superyachting lifestyle, showcasing products, luxury cars and motorbikes, helicopters and private jet manufacturers, all set against the festive and glamorous backdrop of the Principality of Monaco.
Not to be missed…
As night falls, the superyachts take on a whole new atmosphere, offering a unique spectacle as they are illuminated by a thousand lights.
