Monaco Yacht Show 2026 closes an edition that has broken all records, 118 superyachts, of which 50 delivered this year, 560 exhibitors, and six awarded sustainable solutions, four days of direct access to types of vessels and accessories. Held under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, who led the official visit, the show welcomed 30,678 visitors.

According to a Deloitte study conducted for SYBAss and the Superyacht Life Foundation, the superyacht industry generates €54 billion annually, from construction and maintenance to yacht management and tourism. 560 exhibitors representing the entire supply chain (shipyards, designers, naval architects, equipment suppliers, brokers, and specialized service providers) gathered at Port Hercule.

At the forefront of the fleet, Leviathan (Oceanco, 111 m), delivered at the end of 2025, made its debut in Monaco, moored next to Draak (Oceanco, 93 m), completely refurbished in 2026 to accompany it on scientific expeditions by Inkfish. Lürssen premiered Nixie (102.4 m), the largest delivery of 2026 on display.

Torquoise Yachts unveiled Angelique (88 m), the largest yacht ever built in Turkey by volume. Other premieres include Pangea (Amels, 80 m), the first Amels 80 presented at a show; Silver Fox (Sanlorenzo, 73.4 m), the largest yacht ever made by the yard to date; Sea Raider X (ISA Yachts, 66.4 m); the first T60 by Baglietto (60.6 m); and Sairu, the Riva 54 Metri and the largest Riva ever built.

My first Monaco Yacht Show at the helm of the event has confirmed what this event must be: a marketplace for nautical projects, not a parade,” said Toby Moore, CEO of Informa Prestige. “Throughout the week, exhibitors reported a solid show, high-level conversations, and serious buyers. Some come to board a yacht for the first time or to discover the offerings available for charter or purchase; others return for a final visit after months of preparation, and to finalize the purchase in Monaco. Whatever their stage in the journey, the show is an integral part of the sale. Our role remains to connect them with the right exhibitors, and it is on this that every client, exhibitor, and partner must evaluate us.”

Blue Wake™ Awards, a jury of experts selected five category winners from the 60 solutions verified by the Water Revolution Foundation through an independent assessment. Toby Moore presented the awards on September 23 at the BOAT Lounge, alongside Leah Werner, Executive Director of the foundation.

The winners were:

• Tykun (Tenders)
• Bespoke Projects (Luxury Services & Products)
• Termodinamica (Naval Suppliers)
• Amico & Co (New Build / Refit Shipyards)
• Marina Ibiza (Marine Services / Brokerage / Charter)

Monaco Yacht Show, a look at 2027

The Refit sector has also found ample space on the docks: 15 of the exhibited yachts had undergone refit work in the last three years. With few construction slots available in the short term at major shipyards, many owners choose to upgrade their yachts rather than wait for new builds. This market, estimated between $3 and $5 billion annually and growing at 6-9% year on year, will have a dedicated event in Monaco starting next spring. Informa Prestige will launch The Future of Refit, the first event exclusively dedicated to the refit and maintenance of superyachts, at the Grimaldi Forum from March 31 to April 2, 2027, with a water exhibition in the marina of the Yacht Club de Monaco.
