Port Hercule closes the doors on 2025 Monaco Yacht Show

Scheduled to run every September, the Monaco Yacht Show is a tailor-made experience for those wanting to see, view, and charter the most outstanding superyachts on the market.

Known to host some of the largest yachts for charter, like the iconic 400ft (122m) superyacht charter KISMET in 2024, the Monaco Yacht Show once again welcomed some truly captivating yachts, many of which made their global or regional debuts.

One of the standout debuts, and the largest attending yacht for 2025, was 351.1ft (107m) luxury yacht charter MAR. Previously known as superyacht LANA, this striking Benetti yacht for charter was launched in 2020 but made her boat show debut in Port Hercule. With a helipad, seven luxurious cabins, and an abundance of premium onboard amenities, she made quite an impression around the docks, with the eye-catching 295.3ft (89.99m) charter yacht LUNA adjacent.

Other notable yacht rental debuts around the marina included 196.10ft (60m) charter yacht AFTER YOU, who made her mark as the first Damen Xplorer 60 charter yacht to hit the market, 196.10ft (60m) superyacht charter MEMORIES from the fleet of Amels yacht charters, and 196.10ft (60m) luxury yacht charter O'MADELEINE.

Welcoming even further superyachts at anchor in the Bay of Monaco, this year's largest charter yacht in the vicinity of the show was 389.9ft (118.8m) superyacht rental BREAKTHROUGH.

Previously down as the largest attending yacht on the official listing, the new launch from the fleet of Feadship yacht charters ended up dropping anchor in the bay, with visitors still able to see the groundbreaking yacht in all her glory before she embarks on her inaugural charter season. 

Elsewhere in the bay, other attending charter yachts at anchor included 266.8ft (81.27m) charter yacht ALFA NERO and 279.10ft (85.3m) expedition yacht charter BOLD.

In addition to the array of superyachts, this year's edition of the Monaco Yacht Show also witnessed the first appearance of the Blue Wake program and its associated awards ceremony. 

Replacing the Sustainability Hub and raising the bar further, Blue Wake confirms Monaco's ongoing efforts to strive for a greener yachting industry, with curated brands and shipyards being recognized for their efforts for eco-aware solutions and innovations. 

With a dedicated program of seminars and highlighted stands around the exhibits, the Blue Wake exhibitors had prime visibility, with visitors able to quickly find the yachts that were hosting industry-wide applications for eco-conscious yachting.

Looking ahead to the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show, we now await the new dates to be released by the organizers.
