By Editorial Team   20 September 2022

From all the must-see superyachts to the best places to party after the show, get the complete insider’s guide to the Monaco Yacht Show 2022 .

Running from 28 September to 1 October, the Monaco Yacht Show 2022 will be attracting a fleet of superyachts and thousands of attendees to the Côte d'Azur for the 31st edition of the prestigious boat show.

For four days, Port Hercules will be a hive of activity as thousands of prospective clients and industry players descend on the French Riviera to explore what’s on display on the water and along the stands. Hundreds of exhibitors will be showing off their products and services, with top shipyards , brokerage houses and marine and luxury lifestyle stalls in attendance, along with brand-new areas being unveiled at this year's show.

What’s in store at this year’s show?

This year the show will unveil its brand-new Adventure Area and Sustainability Hub, alongside its popular Design & Innovation Hub and dockside areas committed to the exhibition of superyachts and tenders.

Sustainability Hub

With a renewed focus on sustainability and environmental protection initiatives, the Monaco Yacht Show 2022 will be unveiling its brand new exhibition space dedicated to the research and development of sustainable solutions in yachting.

The Sustainability Hub will also host a variety of exhibitions relating to green renewable solutions and pro-environmental projects in yachting.

Yacht Design and Innovation Hub

Complementing the Sustainability Area will be the popular Yacht Design and Innovation Hub, where the world’s most renowned yacht designers convene to showcase their latest projects, with various presentations on design and eco-responsible projects in yachting taking place in a conference room upstairs (free access). This year, the Yacht Design & Innovation Hub also welcomes the historic exhibitors of the Designer Gallery along the Louis Chiron bend of Port Hercules.

Adventure Area

Another new zone for 2022, visitors to the Adventure Area will find a huge array of tenders, all-terrain vehicles, nautical gadgets and equipment. These will be showcased in conjunction with a wide range of activities and services targeting the up-coming generation of superyacht clientele in response to the increase in demand by discerning yacht travellers seeking ever-more thrilling adventures and unique yachting experiences.

Dockside Area

The new Adventure Area will be located within the Dockside Area, home to the afloat exhibition of motor yachts and tenders on the Quai Antoine 1er, Port Hercule.

Please note that the Dockside area is only accessible to Discover, Sapphire and press passes on Wednesday September 28, with access to the general public from Thursday onwards.

Sailing Yacht Area

As in previous years, this area will be situated along the Quai l’Hirondelle, where visitors will be able to step aboard some of the most innovative and technologically advanced sailing yachts in the world, as well as meeting some of the esteemed builders and designers who help to create the magic.

Sapphire Experience

Introduced for the first time last year, the Sapphire Experience is a bespoke tour program for visitors interested in renting or buying a yacht, with a concierge team dedicated to creating a bespoke program of events tailored to take advantage of all there is to experience at the show in true VIP fashion; including scheduled visits on board yachts, attendance at gala evenings or private cocktails on board various luxury vessels. There is also an official Sapphire tender and courtesy car service. 

In addition, there are dedicated VIP entrances and lounges for convenience and relaxation throughout the show.

How to get around the Monaco Yacht Show 2022

The show takes place entirely in Port Hercules, but there will also be a number of yachts available for viewing at anchor outside the port. A water taxi is available throughout the show, with seven pick-up and drop-off points conveniently located across the marina.

The official opening times for the 2022 Monaco Yacht Show are: 10.30am-6.30pm every day, except on Saturday when the doors open at 10am and close at 6pm.

What is the official MYS 2022 superyacht lineup?

Currently, with over 130 yachts set to attend this year’s show, including 74 yachts making their debuts in Monaco, the show promises plenty of standout vessels available to view.

One of the most exciting new yachts will be Lurssen’s 115m/378ft motor yacht AHPO . A recent addition to the charter fleet, she will be drawing in plenty of attention with her Nuvolari Lenard exterior styling and palatial interiors.

On the same dock, Golden Yacht’s latest offering in the shape of 88m (289ft) superyacht Project X will also be causing a buzz. Freshly delivered, show-goers shouldn’t miss the opportunity to step on board to admire her beautiful Massari-designed interiors, as well as her 7.5-meter by 3-meter glass-enclosed swimming pool on her aft main deck and vast beach club featuring comfortable lounging area and bar, alongside a wellness suite with Hammam and Finnish Sauna. 

Another star of the show will be the 85m (279ft) luxury explorer yacht VICTORIOUS , who wowed visitors last year with her distinctive sleek lines culminating in a 2-meter bowsprit and impressive array of charter-rich features and family-friendly amenities, not to mention the luxury Rolls Royce perched on her helideck bow!

The 75m (247ft) superyacht KENSHÕ will also be making waves for those keen to experience her zen-calm interiors up-close. Launched earlier this year, the innovative vessel redefines the concept of space and layout, providing guests with the ultimate luxurious platform to relax, entertain and socialize onboard. 

Read our event guide for a list of all the yachts attending the Monaco Yacht Show 2022 .

Where to eat at the Monaco Yacht Show 2022

In Port Hercules, there are a variety of options available for snacks and refreshments, including the Upper Deck Lounge bar & restaurant run by the renowned Fairmont Monte-Carlo, as well as the Sapphire Lounge – a VIP bar and dining experience open exclusively to Sapphire badge holders – both located near the Parvis Piscine entrance.

Monaco itself has no shortage of restaurants to suit every occasion and palate during the show. For something more casual, Rue Princesse Caroline is lined with different restaurants that are well-suited to a light bite.

In the evenings, COYA Monte Carlo is where the in-crowd head for Latin-American fusion and a warm reception. The cocktail menu is expansive, so be sure to try one of their specialties and soak up the buzzy vibes as the evening wears on.

If it’s a sophisticated meal you’re after, Nobu is the ultimate choice. Expect a luxurious backdrop, a refined Japanese menu and a sensational taste experience among fellow show-goers.

Where to party after the Monaco Yacht Show 2022

As ever, Buddha-Bar will be one of the most popular venues for post-show partying in Monaco. The restaurant-bar crossover is a regular stop-off for those looking to dine and dance to the soundtrack of live DJ sets.

Twiga has a similar vibe, with a stellar menu coupled with an unrivalled club scene later in the evenings. Expect Methusalems of champagne topped with sparklers, dazzling entertainment and a no-holds-barred party vibe.

Twiga will be hosting plenty of Monaco Yacht Show-themed parties over the course of the show, so you’d be remiss not to pay the venue a visit, even if it’s just for a cocktail on the terrace.

For a true taste of French Riviera party life, look no further than Jimmy’z. This iconic club will be in full swing over the course of the Monaco Yacht Show, and will be amping up the entertainment with live performances from dance troupes and deck-spinning DJs.

Where to relax after the Monaco Yacht Show 2022

After the show, take the time to unwind and soak up the last of the Mediterranean sun.

Nikki Beach Monte Carlo is still going strong on the roof of the Fairmont Hotel, and offers poolside lounging and a summery soundtrack throughout the day, offset by spectacular views over Port Hercules and the yachts at anchor opposite the marina.

A little outside Monaco in the small town of Eze lies one of the best-kept secrets in the South of France. Anjuna Plage occupies a thin sliver of beach, and boasts a premier restaurant, boutique shop and a laid-back vibe that makes it a fan favourite. Best accessed by yacht, it also has a roster of A-list clientele.

Where to visit after the Monaco Yacht Show 2022

The French Riviera is one of the most beautiful regions in the Mediterranean and has no end of things to see and do. In Monaco, visitors can explore the decadent Monte Carlo casino, browse the Private Collection of Antique Cars of H.S.H. Prince Rainier III or admire the incredible selection of marine life at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco.

Afterwards, stop by neighbouring Menton to visit Mirazur, a restaurant that was named the Best in the World for 2019.  Then, pay a visit to the Val Rahmen Exotic Gardens for an afternoon of botanical bliss.

Head over to Nice for a day of sightseeing and walking the cobbled streets of the city, taking the time to explore the famous Matisse Museum and the pink palace of Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. 

Those looking to travel even further afield can stop by the spa at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes or take a boat ride out to the Lérins Islands  outside the bay of Cannes , where you will find the famous Abbey and the superyacht hotspot of La Guerite, a beach club and restaurant on the island.

Sleek New Designs Take Center Stage at the Monaco Yacht Show

Thousands of boating enthusiasts, brokers and insurers flocked to the 33rd edition of the annual trade fair.

What kind of person goes out and buys a superyacht? “We don’t have a ‘typical’ client,” says Robert Drontmann, sales director for celebrated Netherlands-based boatmaker Heesen. “ Superyachts are for people who want unparalleled privacy and security while spending quality time with family and friends.” All that doesn’t come cheap: the kind of individual prepared to buy from Heesen—or any of their peer manufactures, most of them based in Italy—must be prepared to spend an average of $1 million per meter of length for a boat they’ll use only a few weeks a year; then spend at least 12% of the purchase price every year to maintain it; then, presumably, buy another yacht in perhaps six or seven years’ time when the previous one begins to age. Such folks are, to be sure, a rare breed.

And yet there they were just a couple weeks ago—some 30,000 of them, lined up along the Port Hercule just downhill from the Monte Carlo Casino , flocking once again to the celebrated Monaco Yacht Show. Not all of the attendees were buyers of course: the trade fair, now entering its 33rd year , draws yacht enthusiasts and professionals of all descriptions, the brokers and insurers (and journalists) who make the world of high-end pleasure-craft go ‘round. As ever, the biggest draw was the debuts, the boats making their first-ever public appearance on the industry’s biggest stage.

Here’s Galerie ’s picks of some of the most outstanding newcomers:

Ferretti's Custom Line 50. Photo : Courtesy of Ferretti

1. Ferretti’s Custom Line 50

Lined up on the dock at Monaco, with its back to the pier, it can be easy to get the wrong impression of almost any boat. That’s certainly true of the Custom Line 50 : its big wide-open beach (the lower-level stern section, used for water access) is crowned by a glass-encased jacuzzi that offers seaviews—but on the inside you’ll find the most exquisite surprises.

The boat’s technical prowess is one of them, though perhaps not unexpected: the Ferretti Group is one of the industry’s biggest players, and the Custom Line represents one of their most deluxe offerings to date. The Custom 50—49.9 meters long, displacing about 450 tons—can move at a nice clip of up to 16 knots, and can go about 4,000 nautical miles at moderate speed, more than enough for a crossing from the Canaries to the Caribbean. Given Ferretti’s massive yards at Ancona, and the company’s nearly six decades in the business, it’s no surprise that the flagship of their successful Custom Line brand is high-performance; what is remarkable is that it’s also so high-design.

Thoughtful touches from interior designer ACPV Architects—in particular the white, padded wall finishes in the corridors—as well as deft spatial planning—the private master suite, with its secluded forward sundeck all but invisible from the flybridge social area above—give the Custom Line 50 an edge in terms of livability at sea.

2. Rossinavi’s Seawolf X 

Catamarans aren’t everyone’s choice for aesthetics: they’re big, and their twin hulls make them a little less fleet in the water. The tradeoffs, of course, are a lot more space inside, and a lot more room for creativity in terms of design and amenities—and the Seawolf X   is chock full of both.

The first such large-scale craft from Italian-based builder Rossinavi, the 42.8-meter Seawolf is one of the more luxe boats to date to feature a hybrid engine, capable of operating solely on electric power during shorter cruises. The aesthetic scheme from designers Meyer Davis is coolly understated, with a palette of white and beige that gives the interiors a hotel vibe. The accent on service and personalized pleasure is redoubled by the Seawolf’s novel AI interface, which monitors passenger activity and can offer appropriate suggestions to crew and captain as to which cruise mode is best for the goings-on onboard.

Most impressive is how the Rossinavi team used the extra square footage at their disposal to pack the Seawolf with fun extras. The bow sundeck features a sunken lounge with a pop-up sunroof, providing a little cover that can be speedily popped down again when not in use. At the back of the starboard hull, a discreet stairway leads to a chic sauna, complete with a small anteroom for towels; the corresponding portside hull provides storage space for jet skis and other water toys. And then there’s the sheer capacity: the vessel can host up to 10 guests in its four spacious cabins.

3. Heesen’s ELA

In a crowded field, the builders from the town of Oss have distinguished themselves over the years for boats that—courtesy of top-notch naval architects Van Oossanen, a longtime collaborator with the company—not only move and feel great on the water, but look as lean and hydrodynamic as they are. And in the case of the 50-meter, 320-ton ELA , there’s even more than meets the eye.

Originally launched in 2021, ELA pulled into Monaco for its first-ever public viewing and showed her mettle during an afternoon sea trial. Cranking up to nearly 20 knots, she cleaved the waters with a pair of robust diesel engines that require a comparatively modest amount of fuel, owing to Van Oossanen’s proprietary FDHF (fast-displacement hull form) construction technique, which allows even a superyacht like this one to move efficiently regardless of speed. Combined with her light-weight aluminum materials and sleek, streamlined superstructure, ELA has plenty of function to go with her very attractive form.

Designer Cristiano Gatto ensured the ELA has plenty of pop appeal as well, with the sedate, hospitality-flavored interiors providing plenty of comforts however far from shore. If the walnut finishes are a little too subdued for some tastes, the yacht’s extras tend to bring the energy back up again: customized for a health-conscious owner, ELA features an extensive lower-deck gym and spa suite.

4. Baglietto’s Akula T52

The depth of talent in the Italian yacht business is a direct function of its history, with a number of firms tracing their roots back a hundred years and more. Baglietto is one of them: the company has been around since 1854, serving royalty both of the literal (the Aga Khan was an owner) and the cultural variety (so was Roberto Cavalli). Their Monaco offering, the Akula T52 , shows why.

Over 52 meters long, the Akula combines an unusually large sundeck with ample bow-front space holding the bulky tender and later water toys. Below deck houses a fully-equipped fitness room and very sleek interior motifs—notably the fragmented geometries that appear in the overhead fixtures, furniture, and built-in tables, including in the office nook on the middle deck. Clearly, the Akula isn’t afraid to combine business and pleasure.

But the boat also has its softer side, with the design team of Enrico Gobbi finding opportunities for a little whimsy and a lot of comfort. A remarkable tubular lighting system gives the staircase to the six below-deck cabins a mysterious allure, and a large quantity of open storage affords extra space for books and objets d’art, protected of course from rough seas by slender bronze railings. One eccentric feature: the jacuzzi on the flydeck, surrounded by bar seating. If ownership isn’t in the cards, the Akula is available to charter for a weekly rate of $300,000.
