Monaco Yacht Show 2026 Celebrates 35 Years with New Designer Gallery and 120 Superyachts

Monaco Yacht Show 2026: A Celebration of Luxury and Innovation

The highly anticipated Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) will return for its 35th edition from September 23 to 26, 2026. This prestigious event will feature an impressive gathering of approximately 120 superyachts, showcasing the latest advancements in yacht design, technology, and sustainability. The show, organized by the Monaco Government Tourist Office, emphasizes the artistic and innovative aspects of yacht design through the introduction of a new exhibition space called the Designer Gallery.

A New Era in Yacht Design

The Designer Gallery replaces the previous Yacht Design & Innovation Hub and serves as an integrated platform where attendees can engage directly with the visionaries shaping the future of yacht design. This innovative space will unite previously separate exhibition areas, allowing visitors an open setting to explore cutting-edge concepts and interact with some of the world’s foremost yacht designers and creators.

In parallel with the Designer Gallery, the renowned Dutch luxury technology integrator VBH (Van Berge Henegouwen) will unveil the MYS Immersive Experience. This interactive 3D experience invites participants to virtually board yacht projects and witness their evolution in design.

Moreover, SENSE by VBH promises to stimulate all five senses through a 360-degree immersive environment, artfully combining visuals, sounds, lighting, and scents to evoke the essence of life aboard a yacht. This engaging experience further enhances the visitor's understanding of luxurious yacht living.

The Gathering of Superyachts

The Monaco Yacht Show will feature around 120 superyachts, including nearly 40 brand new models that exemplify top-notch design, technology, customized services, and sustainability. Notable mega yachts exceeding 100 meters in length will also be on display, providing guests unparalleled access to the latest trends within the superyacht industry.

Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with over 560 exhibitors including designers, shipbuilders, equipment manufacturers, brokers, and luxury service providers associated with the yachting world.

Additionally, the Monaco Yacht Summit will convene industry professionals, including engineers, designers, and yacht owners, to discuss key topics like market trends, technological advancements, environmental shifts, and investment strategies through comprehensive conferences and themed roundtable discussions.

Commitment to Sustainability

This year’s edition of MYS also continues its commitment to sustainability. The Blue Wake™ program, launched last year, highlights eco-friendly and sustainable solutions showcased at the event, advocating for a responsible superyacht industry. The show aims to promote environmentally conscious practices and innovations across the maritime sector.

Monaco's Heritage and Global Outreach

In April 2026, the Monaco Yacht Club (YCM) signed partnership agreements with the Japan Marina & Beach Association (JMBA) and the Super Yacht Eco Association. This collaboration aims to deepen exchanges with the Japanese yachting community, intending to expand Monaco's rich maritime culture and sustainable practices in Japan.

The Monaco Government Tourist Office plays a crucial role in promoting tourism through a global network, enhancing travelers’ demand for Monaco and engaging with business partners in the travel industry. Monaco is not only a renowned destination for the affluent but is also committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

In an effort to balance tradition with innovation, Monaco aims to foster creativity while leading initiatives for ocean conservation and tourism sustainability, ensuring that it remains a top choice for travelers.

Specifically focusing on increasing business travel from Japan, the Monaco Government Tourist Office offers various services, including participation in industry events, promotional campaigns for travel agents, and strategic business consultations on MICE and leisure tourism.
