From Antibes to Antigua, Palma to Palm Beach, the yacht show calendar certainly isn’t short of events. But without a doubt, the most important date in every yacht enthusiast’s diary is the Monaco Yacht Show. For over three decades, the harbour nation has played host to the biggest and best yachts that money can buy. This year is no exception, with the iconic Port Hercule guaranteed to be packed with the latest offerings from the world’s best-known shipyards, designers and brokers.
From the 25th to the 28th September, the Monaco Yacht Show, sponsored by Richard Mille, will feature over 120 superyachts and around 60 luxury tenders, including 40 entries in the 50-metre-plus range. Whether you’re making the trip to Monaco to indulge in a spot of yacht shopping, or simply want the curtain pulled back on a super exclusive world lived on the high seas, here’s our pick of the vessels to see this year.
Kismet
The headliner of this year’s show is the 122-metre Kismet. Built by Lürssen, she is the epitome of luxury, with super-sleek exteriors by Nuvolari Lenard and interior design by Reymond Langton Design, Kismet takes the cake as one of the most expensive yachts for charter, asking a whopping €3 million per week with Cecil Wright & Partners. But with a helipad, spa, indoor and outdoor cinema and state-of-the-art gym, is it any surprise?
Pershing 140
The Pershing 140 ticks a lot of boxes. Not only is it Pershing's first all-aluminium superyacht, it's the first yacht with a raised helm station directly connected to the sun deck, as well as the first to set the area dedicated to the owner on the main deck, and the first to have a beach area that can open fully on three sides.
SEAWOLF X
With exterior architecture by Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design and interiors by New York-based practice Meyer Davis Studio, Rossinavi's SEAWOLF X is a unique hybrid-electric catamaran that combines attractive design with environmentally friendly solutions.
Energy
The 77.8-metre full-custom yacht ENERGY, delivered by Amels in 2022 and exhibited this year by Burgess, is designed to comfortably accommodate up to 14 guests in 7 suites. She is also capable of carrying up to 27 crew onboard to ensure the most relaxed luxury yacht experience possible.
Lemon Tree
Sanlorenzo’s Lemon Tree is designed for effortless entertaining, with a large main deck aft area that features a huge pool, the glass bottom of which is the ceiling of the gym below. Up in the bridge deck, a seating area and bar offer uninterrupted views, making it perfect for evening sundowners, while a vast swim platform offers plenty of space for sunbathing and easy access to the water.
wallywind110
Wally’s wallywind110 is a sleek and speedy vessel that combines the comfort of a cruising yacht with the spirit and performance of a racing boat. Easy to handle, manoeuvrable and safe, she makes quick work of ocean crossings. Once at anchor, her wide decks offer endless opportunities for entertaining and relaxing.
Dom 133
Baglietto’s Dom 133 is a Stefano Vafiadis-designed all-aluminium 40.9-metre motor yacht, with interiors by by Leonardo Santi, who drew inspiration from car design to include a tribute to the unmistakable shades of iconic brands in the automotive sector: Ferrari red, green, and blue and Lamborghini orange feature in the guest cabins on the lower deck, while the wheelhouse, which features a bronze-coated carbon top, has grille inserts recalling those of sports cars.
Maserati Tridente
Maserati has teamed up with Vita Power to create the Tridente, a luxury 10.5-metre zero emission powerboat built for lake and coastal day cruising. The Tridente can accommodate up to 10 people in a cockpit, which can be configured for dining or acceleration, with a sundeck and bathing area for passengers to relax.
Wajer 44 HT
The Wajer 44 HT is just as fast, comfortable and clever as the iconic Wajer 44 dayboat, but with the added bonus of a sliding hard-top roof that covers the cockpit, with an extra large canvas rooftop for fresh air. It has you covered – literally.
