Stars of the Show: The Best Yachts to Spot at the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show

From world debuts to designer interiors and sustainable solutions, here is your guide to the must-see boats at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show.

It’s that time again when the world’s yachting elite set course for the Principality, as the Monaco Yacht Show returns to Port Hercules from September 24th-27th. Each year this prestigious event draws thousands of owners, prospective buyers and luxury yachting aficionados to witness the very best the industry has to offer. The 2025 edition is shaping up to be the most impressive yet, with a fleet of 120 superyachts— nearly half making their world debut—and 60 luxury tenders set to steal the spotlight. More than 560 companies will showcase the latest in design, technology and innovation, promising a spectacle that captures the cutting edge of modern yachting.

Key zones return this year— including the Yacht Design & Innovation Hub, the Adventure Area and the Upper Deck Lounge—presenting dedicated spaces for education, networking and inspiration. Making its debut is the Blue Wake™ programme, launched in partnership with the Water Revolution Foundation. This initiative will shine a spotlight on eco-conscious technologies and solutions, giving well-deserved visibility to brands leading the charge toward a more sustainable future. “Sustainability has become an essential driver of innovation in yachting, and our role at MYS is to provide a platform where these advancements can gain the recognition they deserve,” says Gaëlle Tallarida, managing director of the Monaco Yacht Show. “With Blue Wake, we are reinforcing this commitment by ensuring that sustainability is an integral part of the event experience—engaging all stakeholders in meaningful discussions about the future of our industry.”
