The final numbers from the 34th edition
After four days of show, the Monaco Yacht Show 2025 recorded 29,956 visitors in Port Hercule — the official figure organizers released at the close of the 34th edition on September 27. That is a considerably smaller crowd than the Cannes Yachting Festival, which closed two weeks earlier with more than 55,000 visitors: the gap reflects the show's own design, which restricts access to buyers, brokers and accredited press rather than opening to the general public.
69 yachts for sale, $2.9 billion
The number that best captures the show's commercial weight is the count of officially listed yachts for sale: 69 vessels, worth a combined $2.9 billion. Simple division — total value over yacht count — works out to an average above $42 million per yacht, placing the Monaco Yacht Show at the very top end of the superyacht market, well above the industry's entry tier.
That sale value is distinct from charter value: many of the same superyachts listed for sale in Monaco also make up a large share of the fleet available for weekly Mediterranean charter the following summer — the kind of yacht Voguer Yachts brokers for clients who prefer chartering by the week over buying outright.
The fleet that passed through Port Hercule
Organizers had confirmed, ahead of opening, 116 superyachts for the 2025 edition, including 3 catamarans, with 79 world premieres — nearly 68% of the total fleet, the highest number since the show began in 1991. With the event now over, that debut record stands as the edition's defining feature: more new-launch yachts revealed in Port Hercule than in any prior year of the show.
The show's largest yacht and confirmed debuts
Mar, built by Italian yard Benetti at 107 metres, was the largest yacht present at the 2025 edition, listed among the show's most valuable vessels for sale. Confirmed world premieres included the 79.5-metre Valor from Dutch builder Feadship, the 61.4-metre sailing yacht Katana from Perini Navi, and two Benetti launches, Lady Estey and Perla, from the B.Now 67M and B.Now 50M lines.
What the numbers say about the superyacht market
A show with a record number of debuts and nearly $3 billion in yachts for sale, landing the same week builders like Sanlorenzo report order intake up almost 30% for the first half of the year, describes a superyacht market still running hot at the end of 2025 — on both the new-build and resale sides. For a buyer, that typically means less room to negotiate on recent models; for someone weighing charter over purchase, it means a larger available fleet, but also stiffer competition for peak summer weeks in the Mediterranean.

The calendar keeps moving: what comes after Monaco
With the Monaco Yacht Show closed, the September show calendar continues with the São Paulo Boat Show, still running in Brazil, and the Salone Nautico di Genova, closing the same week in Italy. For readers following the industry from outside Europe, this overlap between the European shows and Brazil's own domestic show is a useful reminder of how tightly September links the Brazilian and international markets.

Is the Monaco Yacht Show about selling yachts or chartering them? Both. The show's roots are as a sales showcase — hence the 69 listed yachts and the $2.9 billion figure — but much of the fleet on display also feeds the weekly Mediterranean charter market the following summer.
