And the best way to take part \u2014 not as an ordinary visitor, but as a central player \u2014 is to have your own superyacht in Monaco<\/a> for those four days.<\/p>\n\n

International Yachts Charter and Brokerage XXIII<\/strong> offers dedicated charters for the Monaco Yacht Show 2026 \u2014 with units available either alongside or at anchor in the bay of Monaco<\/a> for the full duration of the show.<\/p>\n\n

Monaco Yacht Show \u2014 What You Need to Know<\/h2>\n\n

The Show\u2019s History<\/h3>\n\n

The Monaco Yacht Show has existed since 1991. In thirty-five years, it has become the undisputed global benchmark for the luxury superyacht market \u2014 surpassing METS Amsterdam and the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show in prestige and the quality of its clientele. <\/p>\n\n

What sets MYS apart from all other boat shows is the stringent selection of yachts on display. Each year, several hundred applications are submitted for 125 exhibition berths. The selection criteria \u2014 build quality, design, technical innovation, heritage value \u2014 mean that only the finest superyachts in the world can be showcased at Port Hercule. <\/p>\n\n

What Happens During the Show<\/h3>\n\n
Official presentations<\/strong> \u2014 shipyards present their new builds and future concepts through conferences and private presentations held on board the yachts on display.<\/p>\n\n
Private transactions<\/strong> \u2014 Port Hercule during MYS is where some of the market\u2019s most important deals are signed. Informal meetings on yacht decks generate more business than most boardrooms. <\/p>\n\n
Networking<\/strong> \u2014 the concentration of HNWI stakeholders is unmatched outside the World Economic Forum. Owners, buyers, brokers, designers, builders, wealth managers \u2014 the density of decision-makers per square metre is unique in the world. <\/p>\n\n
Private parties<\/strong> \u2014 MYS\u2019s social programme is as intense as its business programme. Private dinners hosted on board the yachts on display, evenings in Monaco\u2019s villas and hotels, receptions in the museums and heritage venues of the Principality. <\/p>\n\n
Why a Superyacht Is the Key to the Monaco Yacht Show<\/h2>\n\n
The Difference Between Visitor and Player<\/h3>\n\n
Visiting the Monaco Yacht Show as a professional or as an informed enthusiast means accessing the port, visiting the yachts on display by invitation, and attending a few conferences. It is an interesting but limited experience. <\/p>\n\n
Having your own superyacht in Monaco<\/a> during MYS is a radical transformation of your relationship with the event.<\/p>\n\n
Your yacht becomes your office<\/strong> \u2014 the receptions you host on board, private dinners overlooking Port Hercule, informal meetings on your aft deck \u2014 this is where the real business relationships in this industry are built.<\/p>\n\n
Your yacht becomes your address<\/strong> \u2014 in Monaco, having an address alongside or at anchor during the show is a strong signal. It is the difference between being a spectator and being part of the scene. <\/p>\n\n
Your yacht becomes your hospitality<\/strong> \u2014 inviting partners, clients, or prospects on board during MYS is one of the most powerful forms of corporate hospitality in the world of luxury yachting.<\/p>\n\n
Corporate Charter at the Monaco Yacht Show<\/h3>\n\n
The Monaco Yacht Show is the corporate yachting event par excellence. Companies from around the world \u2014 private banks, wealth managers, luxury car manufacturers, fashion houses, prestige hotel groups \u2014 host their client hospitality during the show from a superyacht. <\/p>\n\n
What our corporate clients host on board:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
Private business dinners<\/strong> \u2014 8 to 12 guests, a table set on the aft deck with a direct view of Port Hercule, a gourmet menu prepared by the onboard chef, impeccable service. Hospitality that leaves a lasting, differentiating impression. <\/p>\n\n
Networking cocktails<\/strong> \u2014 20 to 30 guests moving freely between the main deck, flybridge, and aft terrace. An ideal format to maximise meetings and conversations during the show. <\/p>\n\n
Private tours of the displayed fleet<\/strong> \u2014 your onboard broker guiding you through the selection of yachts to visit, booking viewing slots on the most sought-after units, expert briefing before each visit.<\/p>\n\n
Product presentations<\/strong> \u2014 for brands that wish to associate their world with yachting excellence \u2014 collection presentation, product launch, private press conference \u2014 a superyacht alongside during MYS is the most powerful setting available.<\/p>\n\n
Monaco During the Yacht Show \u2014 Experiencing the Principality<\/h2>\n\n
Port Hercule \u2014 The Epicentre<\/h3>\n\n
Port Hercule is the only deep-water port in Monaco<\/a>. During MYS, the 125 superyachts on display occupy the main quays \u2014 the rest of the port is accessible to charter yachts. Our team coordinates berth requests at Port Hercule in advance \u2014 available berths for non-exhibiting yachts become scarce quickly.  <\/p>\n\n
Alternative to the port<\/strong> \u2014 if Port Hercule is full, our captain positions the yacht in the bay of Monaco \u2014 400 to 600 metres from the port \u2014 with a tender providing continuous transfers. This position offers an extraordinary view of the entire show from the water. <\/p>\n\n
Mon\u00e9gasque Gastronomy During the Show<\/h3>\n\n
Monaco has an exceptional density of Michelin stars for a city of 2 km\u00b2 \u2014 Louis XV by Alain Ducasse at the H\u00f4tel de Paris, Le Grill, Blue Bay at Monte-Carlo Bay, Yoshi, Nobu. During MYS, all of these venues are fully booked weeks in advance. <\/p>\n\n
Our reservation service<\/strong> \u2014 our chief steward handles bookings at Monaco\u2019s best restaurants as soon as the charter is confirmed. For dinners on board, our onboard chef creates seasonal menus that rival the finest tables in the Principality. <\/p>\n\n
Private Access<\/h3>\n\n
Monaco during MYS concentrates private events that are not accessible to the general public \u2014 gala dinners in the Palace gardens, private presentations in suites at the Metropole or the Hermitage, evenings at the Grimaldi Forum.<\/p>\n\n
Our team \u2014 present in Monaco for over 20 years \u2014 has a network of contacts that enables us to secure access to some of these events for our charter clients. This access cannot be negotiated from the outside \u2014 it is earned through reputation and relationships. <\/p>\n\n
