The Monaco Yacht Show 2025 once again celebrated excellence, innovation and elegance in the world of yachting.
With 29,956 visitors, organisers say the show once again confirmed its status as the world’s benchmark for yachting.
The opening day was reserved for invited guests with attendees able to explore the exhibition areas, while the Dockside Area remained accessible only to private clients.
Throughout their visit, participants met shipyards, designers, naval architects, brokers and specialist suppliers, and immersed themselves in the latest innovations, technologies and sustainable solutions that are transforming and shaping the future of the superyacht industry.
The MYS remains the point where dreams and expertise converge.

“Each private visitor enjoyed a complete and immersive experience: discovering world premieres, meeting designers and shipyards, exploring technological and sustainable solutions, and refining the personalisation of their future yacht,” explained Gaëlle Tallarida, managing director, Monaco Yacht Show.
“Exhibitors particularly praised the exceptional quality of the private clientele, a testament to the show’s attractiveness and relevance worldwide.
“The MYS remains the point where dreams and expertise converge, while the exchanges at the Monaco Yacht Summit reinforce its role as a strategic platform – placing the client experience and the industry’s future at the heart of every journey.”
This year’s show saw the launch of Blue Wake, a programme dedicated to innovation and sustainability in the yachting industry.
Eco-responsible solutions
A selection of 59 exhibitors were vetted in collaboration with the Water Revolution Foundation for their eco-responsible solutions – from hydrogen propulsion systems and alternative fuels to recyclable materials and circular construction practices.
The Blue Wake Awards were presented at the grand opening night of the show and recognised outstanding initiatives across five categories: TYKUN for hydrogen propulsion, Tai Ping for biodegradable carpets, Deasyl for its low-carbon fuel, Sanlorenzo for its fuel-cell-powered yacht, and SilverYachts for its recyclable aluminium catamaran.
The Monaco Yacht Summit brought together designers, technical experts, exhibitors and private clients to address the industry’s key issues: technological innovation, environmental transition and investment strategies around yacht ownership.

The Dockside Area showcased 120 superyachts, including 50 new 2025 models and 20 yachts launched in 2024.
Visitors were able to experience yachting in all its dimensions through thematic exhibition areas, showing ultra high-end products and services.
