This week, Monaco is set to transform into a world of luxury superyachts

Port Hercule, Monaco's only deep water port which sits besides the principality's famous Grand Prix track is set to see a bustle of activity this week. The answer to the question why is because of the arrival of the 34th edition of the Monaco Yacht Show from September 24 to 27, 2025, which turns its iconic home at Port Hercule into the beating heart of the superyacht world. Over the course of three decades, the show has grown from a niche industry gathering into a headline event of the Mediterranean season; where luxury, design, and serious business meet against a backdrop of blue water and Riviera glamour.

This year’s fleet is particularly impressive: over 120 superyachts and 60 tenders, nearly half of them world premieres. The line-up ranges from sleek 24-metre builds to jaw-dropping giants over 110 metres. Among the standouts are the Perini Navi Katana 60m sailing ketch, the Admiral Giorgio Armani 72m, and the Admiral Amalya 78m — yachts that marry cutting-edge engineering with high design; some even with new approaches to sustainability. The Yacht Design & Innovation Hub has talks, showcases, and even a 3D immersive tour that lets visitors explore future projects inside and out. It’s this ecosystem that makes Monaco more than just a boat show: it’s a laboratory of ideas shaping where the industry is headed next. Prestige comes at a price. Tickets start at about €725, which is approximately Rs 75,000 for a single day and climb to nearly €1,950, or approximately Rs 2,00,000 for a three-day pass.

For anyone planning to attend, a little preparation goes a long way. Most yacht viewings need to be booked in advance, and Monaco’s famously steep prices for hotels, restaurants and transport can catch first-timers off guard. But for designers, buyers, and anyone drawn to the spectacle of nautical luxury, the show remains unmatched; a glimpse not just of the yachts themselves, but of where the future of the industry is heading. For anyone in yachting; whether buyers, designers, suppliers or simply, enthusiasts, Monaco remains the stage where the industry not only shows off its finest creations but also signals where the future is sailing.
