Following last year’s fleet valued at €4.5 billion, the 2025 edition will welcome a prestigious lineup of 120 superyachts, nearly half of which will be unveiled as world premieres—a historic record. “Bringing together a fleet of this calibre every year is a challenge that only the Monaco Yacht Show consistently meets. The 2025 edition cements our global benchmark position, where innovation, exclusivity, and sophistication converge—with a record number of superyachts revealed in world premieres,” says Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of the Monaco Yacht Show.

Feadship will command attention with the 80-metre M/Y Valor, a steel-hulled vessel built for a repeat Feadship owner. Certified to Bureau Veritas Young Ice 2 standards, Valor is powered by a Hybrid Diesel-Electric, Solar, and Battery system developed through the Feadship Advanced Electrical Drive (FAED) program. Amenities include a contraflow infinity pool, expansive beach club, and an owner’s deck featuring a forward-facing stateroom overlooking the helideck, al fresco lounging with a private Jacuzzi, a spacious ensuite dressing room, and a private office.

Italian yard Tankoa Yachts will debut the 55-metre M/Y Rose, a striking blend of traditional elegance and modern lines by Luca Dini, with interiors by Piero Lissoni. Highlights onboard include a semi-submerged Nemo lounge for underwater viewing, a vast beach club, and two panoramic Jacuzzis—one on the owner’s private terrace and another on the upper deck bow.

Bilgin Yachts will showcase multiple premieres, including the third and final unit in its acclaimed 80-metre superyacht series, M/Y Al Reem, with exterior styling by Unique Yacht Design and interiors by H2 Yacht Design, alongside the second hull in the Bilgin 163 II series, the 50-metre M/Y Camila.

Beyond the superyachts, the tender exhibition areas—located at Quai Jarlan and Quai Antoine 1er in the Adventure Area—promise to be a major attraction. Around 60 luxury tenders will be on display, including Vanquish Yachts’ VQ45 and VQ58 models, as well as the Frauscher x Porsche 850, an electric day cruiser created in collaboration between Porsche and Austrian boatbuilder Frauscher.

The Monaco Yacht Show also provides a platform for global clientele to discover a wide spectrum of yachting-related companies, from boutique brokerages to onboard technology specialists. Fiona Grey, Founder of Crewdar, highlights the event’s role as a facilitator of industry connections: “I founded Crewdar following my own personal struggle as both recruiter and recruitee in the yachting industry. My aim is to provide a safe, transparent, and efficient platform for connecting vessel managers with qualified crew, free from the frustrations I experienced during my own yachting career.”

With Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) compliance at its core, Crewdar’s intelligent matching system ensures only relevant jobs and profiles are visible to one another. “In an industry where safety, professionalism, and compliance are crucial, we ensure data privacy, identity verification, and thorough background checks,” adds Grey.

The four-day show will also reinforce its eco-responsible commitments with concrete actions in mobility, waste management, and energy. This year, the Blue Wake™ initiative—developed in partnership with the Water Revolution Foundation—will spotlight companies contributing eco-conscious technologies and sustainable solutions for the yachting sector.

With more than 560 exhibitors across Port Hercule, the Monaco Yacht Show 2025 is set to reaffirm its place as a defining event for buyers and visitors seeking brands that epitomise the distinction and refinement at the heart of the yachting industry.
