Monaco yacht show 2026 guide: Yachts for sale & charter at the world’s most exclusive yacht event

Set in the heart of the French Riviera, the spiritual home of the global superyacht industry, the Monaco Yacht Show 2026 is the world’s leading superyacht showcase.

Over the course of four days, from 23 to 26 September 2026, Port Hercule becomes the pinnacle of the marine world, with an outstanding lineup of superyachts complemented by leading shipyards, brokers, designers, and luxury brands, all of which make the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show the unmissable event of the Mediterranean season.

This year, to mark the 35th anniversary of the show, visitors can enjoy a newly extended Blue Wake programme, recognising the trailblazers doing truly transformative things to secure the future of superyachting.

As experts in the region, as well as the world’s leading brokerage house, Edmiston is your essential partner for navigating this year’s Monaco boat show, whether you are in the market for a new superyacht, looking to book a summer yacht charter, or finally seeking to get your custom-build project off the ground.

What to expect at the Monaco Yacht Show 2026

The Monaco Yacht Show is the largest gathering of superyacht and marine professionals in the world, attracting more than 30,000 visitors each year. Held in Port Hercule, the event showcases around 120 superyachts, including some of the largest and most significant vessels on the global superyacht market, offering an unrivalled opportunity to experience the luxury yachting lifestyle at its highest level. 

Serious buyers can browse a stunning collection of yachts for sale in Monaco, from new builds to brokerage yachts, while also discovering some of the world’s finest charter yachts. For anyone attending the Monaco Yacht Show, it offers a rare opportunity to experience the very best of the Mediterranean charter market in one place.

As a meeting place for some of the greatest minds in the business, there are also lots of opportunities for yacht owners to sit down with industry leaders and discuss refits and bespoke projects, as well as access all-round brokerage services.

Big news for this year is the return of last year’s inaugural future-facing Blue Wake programme. In 2026 the programme is expanding to include brokerage and yacht management companies, underscoring the MYS’s commitment to driving forward change in terms of sustainability across the industry as a whole. 

Discussing the enhanced offering, Leah Werner, the new Executive Director of the Water Revolution Foundation, which is spearheading the initiative, said: “Building on the solid foundations established last year, this edition further develops the framework introduced during the pilot programme, offering exhibitors a structured way to present environmental improvement initiatives that aim to improve environmental performance and are supported by available evidence.”

Edmiston at the Monaco Yacht Show 2026

As a long-time exhibitor and one of the leading brokerage houses in the principality, Edmiston is supported by an experienced team of Monaco yacht brokers whose knowledge of the superyacht world is second to none.

Our record at MYS speaks for itself and we regularly sell around 50% of the yachts we bring with us. In 2025, we presented one of the most extensive and impressive fleets of motor and sailing yachts at the event, including the show’s headline star, MAR, as well as the 60m Abeking & Rasmussen yacht DREAM and the 59m Vitters sailing ketch MAXIMUS.

Although the full lineup remains under wraps until closer to the show, anticipation is already building for the 2026 edition. The newly delivered 102.4m Lürssen NIXIE, available exclusively for charter with Edmiston, is among the first major debuts confirmed to make her public premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show. Further notable yachts and new launches are expected to take centre stage in Port Hercule. 

As always, Edmiston’s branding will be highly visible throughout the show and our clients and VIP guests can enjoy our renowned Edmiston Experience at two prime locations, both in the pavilion and in the marina.

Our signature hospitality and concierge services, which include complimentary tender and car transfers, will ensure our guests feel fully looked after throughout, while our well-connected yacht brokers will be on hand to arrange exclusive yacht viewings and set up conversations with the people who matter.

For the best MYS experience, book a meeting with an Edmiston broker during the show. 

Monaco boat show 2026 – Yacht builders and designers

Monaco is renowned for producing noteworthy collaborations between builders and designers, so visitors can look forward to some exciting announcements. And as a place for the superyacht scene’s biggest players to converge, it’s always a hotbed for emerging trends in yacht design and a platform for groundbreaking innovations, all of which are crucial for those looking to create their own custom-build yacht.
