Monaco - Monaco

From September 23 to 26, the Principality of Monaco will become the largest global destination for the luxury yacht industry, with the launch of the 35th edition of the Monaco Yacht Show 2026 in Port Hercule, with the participation of more than 560 entities specialized in construction, design, brokerage and maritime services.

120 yachts in one port

The exhibition is expected to include about 120 superyachts available for display, purchase and charter, including 43 yachts delivered during 2026. The latest units range from about 24 meters up to the Nixie yacht from Lürssen with a length of 102 meters, while the list also includes the Majesty 145 from Gulf Craft with a length of 45.25 metres.

A market that goes beyond offering luxury

Monaco is not limited to showing off multi-million dollar yachts; It brings together construction yards, designers, brokers, management and maintenance companies, and marine equipment, making it an annual market for an integrated industry extending from yacht construction to renting, reselling and refurbishing. The 2026 list includes more than 560 specialized exhibitors.

43 new yachts in 2026

Toby Moore, CEO of Informa Prestige, the organizer, explained the importance of the exhibition by saying:
The value offered by the Monaco fleet is not available anywhere else. Within four days and in one port, the visitor can inspect dozens of new yachts and meet their building yards and the brokers responsible for selling them, leasing them and managing them.

The Gulf is present in the yachting industry

The exhibition gains special importance for the Arab region with the expansion of the market for yachts and tourist marinas in the Gulf. The Emirati industrial presence is clearly evident through Gulf Craft and its yacht Majesty 145 in the 2026 fleet, an indication of the transition of Gulf companies from the regional market to global competition platforms.

From Monaco to the Arab anchorages

For the Arab investor, the sector's opportunities extend beyond the purchase of yachts to the development of marinas, maintenance and management services, leasing and high-end hospitality associated with marine tourism. With the growth of coastal projects in the Gulf and the Red Sea, Monaco provides a direct window into monitoring new technologies, high-net-worth client trends, and partnerships that can be transferred to Arab markets.
