Annually showcasing more than 100 of the most indulgent superyachts on the market, the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) attracts industry leaders to the glamorous setting of Port Hercule for a spectacular four-day event.
Renowned for hosting some of the world's biggest yachts, the Monaco Yacht Show is a premier event in the yachting calendar, specifically aimed to showcase the most extravagant superyachts for sale and charter.
Superyachts at the Monaco Yacht Show
Adorned with a vast array of gleaming motor yachts with lengths often surpassing 90m (295ft), the MYS is often the chosen platform for executing global debuts, with many of the industry's leading shipyards returning year after year. Some of the names visitors can expect to see include Sunseeker, Azimut, Benetti, and Heesen.
Hosting more than 100 superyachts and yachts for sale, with more at anchor in the bay of Monaco, the 2026 edition of the Monaco Yacht Show is the perfect opportunity to find inspiration on custom yacht building and for completing the ultimate yachting lifestyle package.
Previous editions of the MYS have hosted spectacular yachts such as 122m superyacht KISMET, and 123m motor yacht GOLDEN ODYSSEY, with her gross tonnage setting new records for the longest and largest yacht to ever attend the event in 2024.
Monaco Yacht Show 2026 Opening Times
Dates for the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show are scheduled for 23-26 September.
The show will be open daily from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM, with Saturday closing at 6:00 PM.
Tickets and Access to the Monaco Yacht Show
Access to the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show is available with a pre-bookable Visitor Pass.
Prices of the passes have previously been known to start from €690 for a one-day general entry.
MYS VIP Experiences
For 2026, the Monaco Yacht Show offers two principal VIP options: the MYS VIP Pass and the more comprehensive Prestige VIP Programme.
The MYS VIP Pass can be purchased for between one and four days, with prices starting from €1,800 per person, per day. Benefits include dedicated VIP entrances and hospitality areas, a courtesy car service within Monaco during show hours, a bay tour by boat and daily lunch at the Upper Deck Lounge restaurant by Fairmont, subject to the relevant reservations and conditions.
Visitors whose VIP Pass includes Wednesday 23 September also receive exclusive access to the Dockside Area before general public entry, creating a quieter environment for yacht viewings and meetings.
The Prestige VIP Programme, priced at €8,800 per person, includes four-day access alongside a more tailored experience. Benefits include an invitation to the Grand Opening Night on 22 September, return transfers between Nice Airport and Monaco, access to the private Prestige Lounge, a luxury spa treatment and personalized assistance throughout the stay. The program is designed particularly around guests with defined yacht acquisition or charter requirements.
Highlights and Hospitality at the MYS
Beyond the main exhibition, the MYS includes a range of dedicated attractions. The Adventure Area returns with a display of tenders, recreational equipment and luxury cars, alongside exhibitors covering other areas of the yachting lifestyle.
For 2026, the show is also introducing the Designer Gallery, replacing and consolidating the former Yacht Design & Innovation Hub. The new format brings participating yacht designers together on one continuous platform closer to the superyacht and tender docks, giving visitors a more direct way to explore new concepts and speak with the designers behind them.
Adjacent to the Designer Gallery, the MYS Immersive Experience by VBH will add an interactive element, allowing visitors to step aboard virtual yacht projects through a 3D experience developed with participating designers and shipyards. The Blue Wake™ Awards, which evolved from the former Sustainability Hub, will also return as part of the show's focus on more environmentally responsible developments within the industry.
For visitors seeking greater privacy and hospitality during the show, the new Prestige VIP Programme provides access to the dedicated Prestige Lounge for confidential meetings and social gatherings. Alongside its wider concierge and transport benefits, the program is aimed at buyers and charter clients looking to organize their Monaco visit around specific yachts and appointments.`
