The Monaco Yacht Show 2025 has not opened yet — the 34th edition begins September 24 in Port Hercule — but organizers have already confirmed the fleet: 116 superyachts, including 3 catamarans, and 79 world premieres, nearly 68% of everything on display. Organizers call it the largest number of launches since the show began, in 1991.

The show hasn't happened yet: here's what's confirmed
This article is a preview. The Monaco Yacht Show 2025 opens September 24 and runs through September 27 in Port Hercule — there are no visitors, sales results, or awards to report yet, because the show has not started. What exists, and what this piece covers, are the numbers that the Monaco Yacht Show organization and participating builders have already confirmed publicly ahead of opening day: how many yachts will be present, how many are true debuts, and which specific models have been named.
The confirmed fleet: 116 superyachts and 3 catamarans
For the 34th edition, organizers have confirmed 116 superyachts in Port Hercule, including 3 luxury catamarans — a category gradually gaining ground at major European shows as the first larger-scale models reach series production. The Monaco Yacht Show remains, by design, an access-controlled event for buyers, brokers and accredited press — unlike the Cannes Yachting Festival, which closed last week with its doors open to the general public.
79 world premieres: the most since 1991
Of the 116 confirmed yachts, 79 are world premieres — close to 68% of the announced fleet. Organizers describe it as the largest number of true debuts since the show's first edition, in 1991. Two things are worth separating here: that percentage measures how many builders chose to reveal a model for the first time in Monaco specifically, not how many people will attend — that figure will only exist after the show closes on September 27.
The largest yacht confirmed so far
Among the confirmed vessels is Mar, built by Italian yard Benetti, at 107 metres — the largest yacht announced for the 2025 edition as of this writing. Mar is confirmed among the yachts for sale during the show, listed among its most valuable vessels in the initial exhibitor announcement.
The launches builders have already announced
Several builders have released, ahead of opening day, which models they plan to bring to Monaco:
- Feadship has confirmed its 79.5-metre Valor, one of the largest launches announced for the edition so far.
- Perini Navi has confirmed its 61.4-metre sailing yacht Katana, among the sailing debuts announced for the show.
- Benetti announced two world premieres: Lady Estey, from its B.Now 67M line, and Perla, from the B.Now 50M line, alongside its B.Loft 58M and B.Now 52M models.
These are pre-show announcements from the builders themselves — which boat will be in the water at Port Hercule — not performance assessments, awards, or any judgment about which launch stood out. That kind of read is only possible once the show actually takes place.
Port Hercule, right after Cannes
Monaco closes out a September calendar that also includes the Salone Nautico di Genova, the São Paulo Boat Show, and the Southampton International Boat Show — all clustered between the second and final weeks of the month. For a buyer or charterer planning a European trip in this window, the short geographic hop between Cannes and Monaco (under two hours by road along the French Riviera) makes it practical to cover both events on the same trip.

None of these figures describe the show's outcome — only what was announced ahead of opening day. Visitor numbers, total sale value, and any standout debut can only be reported after the show closes on September 27.
FAQ
When is the Monaco Yacht Show 2025? September 24-27, 2025, in Port Hercule, Monaco. It is the 34th edition of the show, which brings together superyachts for sale and charter, with access restricted to buyers, brokers and accredited press.
How many superyachts will be at the Monaco Yacht Show 2025? Organizers confirmed 116 superyachts, including 3 catamarans, ahead of opening day. That is the total announced for display in Port Hercule — it does not include any yachts that might be added at the last minute.

What is the largest yacht confirmed for the show? Mar, built by Benetti, at 107 metres, is the largest yacht confirmed as of this writing, listed among the vessels for sale during the event.
