14 August 2026 – The 2026 Monaco Yacht Show is preparing to assemble an expected fleet of 120 superyachts in Port Hercule. Its first official list highlights 43 yachts delivered this year, creating an exceptional opportunity to compare the latest work from shipyards, designers and brokerage houses in one harbour.
The show’s 35th edition takes place in Monaco from 23 to 26 September 2026. Alongside yachts offered for sale, charter and private visits, the organiser is promoting more than 560 specialist exhibitors and approximately 50 luxury tenders.
A fleet spanning roughly 24 to 102 metres
The new deliveries cover almost the full market. They range from Arcadia’s approximately 24-metre A80 to the 102-metre Lürssen Nixie, scheduled to berth at Quai Rainier Ier. Other major arrivals include the 80-metre Pangea, the 73.4-metre Silver Fox and the 60-metre QU2.
The largest concentration sits between 40 and 60 metres, bringing together models from Benetti, Riva, Overmarine, Baglietto, Tankoa, Mengi Yay, Gulf Craft, GX Superyachts and Sirena Marine. This is a particularly important range for charter economics and semi-custom yacht programmes.
Sailing yachts, multihulls and explorers share the spotlight
The initial line-up is not limited to large motor yachts. It includes seven sailing yachts, led by Ares Yachts’ 62-metre Simena as the largest confirmed sailing yacht, together with four multihulls and several long-range explorers. The number of recent deliveries in these segments underlines how widely the superyacht market is diversifying.
Brokerage and charter yachts already in service, plus refitted vessels, round out the display. For prospective owners and clients, the show therefore provides a broad market view: shipyard premieres, yachts with near-term availability and established vessels returning to the market.
What to expect at the Monaco Yacht Show
The event brings together builders, designers, brokers, equipment suppliers and specialists who can support purchase, build, management and charter projects. Its programme extends across dedicated spaces including the Dockside Area, Sailing Yacht Area, Adventure Area, Designer Gallery and Blue Wake™, which highlights solutions with verified environmental credentials.
Further yachts will be added weekly in the run-up to opening day. Readers can explore the official 2026 superyacht list and the Monaco Yacht Show visitor information on the event website.
