The main global gathering of the superyacht world already has a clear shape for 2026. The Monaco Yacht Show reaches its 35th edition from 23 to 26 September, at Port Hercule, in Monaco, bringing together around 120 superyachts and confirming its place as the biggest showcase of international high-end boating.

The anniversary edition will feature 43 vessels delivered during 2026, which represents the largest concentration of brand-new tonnage presented at a single event on the world calendar. In four days and in a single harbour, visitors walk the decks of dozens of newly launched boats and find, side by side, the shipyards that built them and the professionals who will charter, manage and resell these vessels.

From the largest to the smallest: the diversity of the fleet

The largest boat of the edition will be the Nixie, a 102-metre superyacht built by the German shipyard Lürssen, a world reference in vessels of this size. At the other end, the entry point of the event will be the Arcadia A80, at 23.98 metres, showing that the show brings together different scales within the luxury segment.

Between one extreme and the other, the public finds world premieres, recent deliveries and some of the most recognised charter yachts on the planet. Each vessel concentrates the most advanced developments in design, engineering, materials, propulsion and comfort on board, turning Port Hercule into a kind of living museum of high-end boating.

Much more than a boat show

The Monaco Yacht Show is, at the same time, an exhibition, a business meeting point and a technology showcase. Around each superyacht there is a chain made up of shipyards, designers, equipment suppliers, marinas, charter companies, management and specialised services. The event gathers owners, investors, brokers, professionals and enthusiasts from different parts of the world, moving a market that crosses borders.

For the nautical sector, shows like the one in Monaco work as a thermometer of trends. It is there that new design concepts, sustainability solutions and technologies appear which, over time, end up influencing vessels of other sizes and markets as well.

Brazil with an eye on the world

Following the Monaco Yacht Show is also a way to understand where global boating is heading, at a time when the Brazilian industry is expanding production, exports and international presence. Brazil has been consolidating its position among the world's main nautical markets, and events like this help to connect the national sector to the trends, investors and opportunities circulating in the international market.

Until September, Port Hercule once again becomes the centre of attention for those who live, work and invest in the nautical world, celebrating 35 years of an event that has become synonymous with innovation, business and high standards on the water.
