Monaco Yacht Show 2026: Port Hercule at the heart of international yachting

From Wednesday 23 to Saturday 26 September 2026, Port Hercule hosts the 35th edition of the Monaco Yacht Show. For four days, the Principality once again becomes one of the world’s key meeting points for high-end yachting, bringing together owners, buyers, shipyards, brokers, designers and specialist companies.

The organisers expect the fleet to reach 120 superyachts by opening day. Of these, 43 were delivered in 2026, giving visitors access to an especially recent selection of yachts alongside the shipyards and professionals responsible for designing, selling, chartering and managing them.

The Monaco Yacht Show also brings together more than 560 exhibitors and industry professionals covering the full ecosystem: yacht building, naval architecture, design, brokerage, refit, equipment and specialised services. Beyond the yachts themselves, the event demonstrates Monaco’s ability to attract a highly international clientele and business community.

That appeal naturally extends beyond the Principality. Monaco operates in close continuity with the French Riviera, where Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Mougins, Valbonne and other coastal locations attract international residents seeking accessibility, quality of life, high-end services and proximity to the Riviera’s major events.

For real estate, the Monaco Yacht Show also reflects a lifestyle and a set of expectations: sea views, access to ports and airports, security, premium services, outdoor space and the ability to reach Monaco quickly. Across the French Riviera, these criteria play an important role in demand for main residences, second homes and luxury villas.
