The 20 Largest Yachts at the Monaco Yacht Show

Can't get to monaco see the kings of the harbor here instead..

• Share This Article

Every September since the year that Bryan Adams charted with “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You,” yachting enthusiasts, buyers, charterers, yacht builders, and brokers have descended on the principality of Monaco for the annual Monaco Yacht Show . And this September, of course, is no different. Running September 26 through 29, show organizers expect 120 custom superyachts from builders, owners, and charter brokers around the globe to moor at the docks of Port Hercules. In addition, 40 of these yachts will be making their worldwide debut. The average length of participating yachts is 160 feet, but this year there will be seven superyachts between 230 and 328 feet in length. And four of them will be making their world debuts. In addition, watersports lovers can view and sometimes try out the 40 different tenders and toys on display. For those into automobiles, 10 luxury models will be exhibited at the show’s Car Deck. And we mustn’t overlook the two helicopters scheduled to appear. Overall, 580 companies participate in the annual show.

For superyacht clientele, the Monaco Yacht Show offers a VIP visit pack, the Sapphire Experience, which provides exclusive services to new yacht buyers and current owners. VIP visitors may participate in two invite-only events held the evening of September 25: the Monaco Yacht Summit—mini-lectures and discussions with a panel of yachting-industry experts to explore the practical questions of future yacht charterers or buyers—and the Inaugural Gala Event and 5th Monaco Yacht Show Superyacht Awards, where 400 guests celebrate the most spectacular yachts at the show.

Last year’s Monaco Yacht Show saw 36,400 people roaming the tents, halls, and docks. And usually, His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco takes a (highly secured) stroll through the event, as well.

Oceanco Dar

The 295-foot Oceanco Dar promises to be one of the most impressive debuts at Monaco, not only for its scale but also for the stunning profile, which is reminiscent of a smaller, sportier motor yacht. Dar ’s interior by Nuvolari-Lenard is just as stylish, with six large, contemporary staterooms for 12 guests, including a palatial master suite. The yacht has quarters for 31 crew. Dar also has the amenities one would expect on a gigayacht, including a spacious beach club, elevator, spa, swimming pool, sauna, and helipad. The Dutch yard, known for its technical prowess, has fitted the yacht with the latest technology, including state-of-the-art zero-speed stabilizers.

Pride Mega Yachts Illusion Plus

By Danielle Cutler

Pride Mega Yachts recently launched the 290-foot, six-deck gigayacht   Illusion Plus . The interior design is by Netherlands-based Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design. London’s Rainsford Mann Design crafted the exterior, and Netherlands-based Azure Yacht Design performed the naval architecture. The interior fit-out was done by Dubai’s Greenline Yacht Interiors. It’s rare to find such an internationally respected group of names attached to a single build.

Combined with its nearly 300-foot length,  Illusion Plus ’s 50-foot beam makes the yacht palatial. One of the yacht’s most noteworthy features is the 860-square-foot owner’s apartment situated on its own deck. In addition to the apartment, the yacht has two VIPs, two double guest cabins, one twin, and two staterooms for the owner’s staff on the deck below. In total, the yacht accommodates 12 guests. Fifteen cabins house 25 crew members on the lower deck.

Illusion Plus  features four interior saloons and two dining rooms. Two Jacuzzis (including a huge main-deck hot tub with waterfall), three custom guest tenders, and a four-deck elevator all add to the yacht’s allure. A double-height atrium links the saloon on the main deck with the lounge on the deck. The tranquil spa offers a steam room, massage area, and sauna. The main deck has the gym and beauty salon.

Illusion Plus is propelled by a diesel-electric propulsion system with Azipull thruster pods that Pride developed with Rolls-Royce, making Illusion Plus  ultra-efficient and quiet. The yacht still offers up a speedy 17-knot maximum speed, 15-knot cruising speed, and 5,000 nautical mile range.

Turquoise Yachts Go

Turquoise Yachts launched its flagship  Go  earlier this year. London-based H2 Yacht Design gave the 253-foot superyacht a long, sleek hull, a bulbous bow, and geometric rudders to minimize drag while the yacht is running and to deliver good fuel economy. You can’t miss the yacht’s turquoise-blue hull.

Other noteworthy features include a large entrance area that meets a central elevator running from the garage to the sundeck. The yacht can accommodate up to 18 passengers, with two VIP suites, six guest staterooms, and an owners’ full-beam stateroom with a private lounge area and hot tub on their own private deck.  Go  also provides housing for 20 crew members.

Go ’s amidships garage carries a 31-foot limo tender and a 26-foot general-use tender in addition to multiple water toys. The garage’s location gave more space to the 1,744-square-foot aft beach club. Plus, the yacht’s two rear side panels fold down, giving guests instant access to the water on three sides.  Go ’s sundeck also features a large outdoor space and a 16-foot swimming pool. The foredeck is home to the helipad.

Tankoa Yachts Solo

By Geri Ward

Tankoa ’s new 236-foot superyacht  Solo , designed by Francesco Paszkowski, features a large winter garden, a large aft deck with a 20-foot transversal pool, an upper deck with a large saloon with incredible views, and glass bulwarks for unobstructed water views from the saloon and staterooms.

Margherita Casprini designed the warm and contemporary interior, with details such as Fendi Casa tables. Solo  offers up six staterooms for 12 guests, including a VIP suite, four double cabins, and a master suite on the owner’s deck. The private deck features fold-out terraces, direct access to the helipad, and a private exterior deck with a hot tub, bar, saloon, breakfast nook, and bathroom with shower. The owner’s study and the beach club’s massage room can transform into two more cabins; both have en suite bathrooms.

The beach-club area includes a glass-walled gym and foldout terrace, sauna (with its own foldout terrace), hammam, bathroom, bar, and TV. The side-loading tender garage houses two 24-foot tenders, personal watercraft, and a rescue boat.

Two 3516 Caterpillar engines give Solo a top speed of 17 knots. At 12.5 knots, the yacht has a range of more than 6,000 nm.

Amels Volpini 2

The 188-foot  Volpini 2 —the first Limited Editions superyacht using Dutch shipyard  Amels ’s first hybrid power configuration—is the first new yacht to be Tier III compliant under new emissions standards put in place by the International Maritime Organization. Volpini 2 features exterior design by Tim Heywood and interiors created by UK firm Reymond Langton.

The yacht accommodates a total of 12 guests in an owner’s suite with a 130-square-foot folding balcony and six guest suites, including a private VIP on the bridge deck.  Volpini 2 also houses 12 crew and a captain. Guests will enjoy the water-level beach club with wellness center. A central staircase and an elevator join the decks.

Volpini 2  has a top speed of 15.5 knots and a range of 4,500 nautical miles at 13 knots.

Mangusta El Leon

Mangusta ’s flagship El Leon was launched in May. Designed by Alberto Mancini, the 178-foot superyacht is the first of its long-anticipated, fast-displacement GranSport aluminum line.

Mancini gave El Leon a long, sleek, and straight profile, with banks of windows providing sunlight to the saloon, master suite, and guest staterooms. A bulbous bow provides efficiency at displacement speeds and a solid maximum speed of 30 knots, provided by four 16V MTU 2000 diesel engines. The yacht has a range of 3,500 miles at optimal cruising speed.

Thanks to rotating doors, the stern transforms into a huge beach club with terraces. Up on the flybridge, a central bar serves both the open aft deck and a shaded area for alfresco dining.

Heesen Irisha  Dick Holthuis

Heesen Irisha

The 167-foot all-aluminum Irisha from Dutch shipyard Heesen sports a stunning profile by Harrison Eidsgaard that was imagined to resemble a fighter jet with an unconventional color scheme. The designers combined a Snow White top with a Midnight Blue main deck, finishing with a metallic Pacific Blue hull. In changing sunlight,  Irisha ’s hull transforms from blue to a dark, olive-green. Concealed LED strips trace the lines of its profile at night, flooding the yacht’s glass surfaces with bright light.

The interior is a bit less dramatic but still beautiful with beige, gray, and blue. Special lighting was developed to draw a guest’s eye to the architectural and design elements in each room by creating different atmospheres, all with the touch of a button. Irisha was also designed to be a spacious, elegant gathering place. The main deck has a formal reception area for large groups, with a protected, aft-deck winter garden connecting to the main interior saloon. The 30-foot-long saloon has an “imperial” dining table that seats from 14 to 22 guests. In contrast with the social areas, the owner’s suite forward is a haven, with its own study, balcony with sliding glass doors, and his-and-her walk-in dressing rooms. Custom artwork defines the master suite and is laced across the yacht, including the main atrium with the yacht’s primary staircase.

Benetti Seven

Lucky number Seven boasts the longest fiberglass hull and aluminum superstructure that Italian yacht builder Benetti has ever launched. The 165-foot custom design has an impressive interior by London-based Bannenberg & Rowell Design, with an owner’s apartment on the main deck and four generous staterooms, totaling 3,330 square feet, on the lower deck. Benetti says that the upper deck can be converted into a VIP stateroom . Seven was built to be exceptionally quiet and vibration-free, something the guests on the lower deck will appreciate. The lower transom houses a beach club that overlooks the ocean. The twin Caterpillar C32 Acert engines produce a top speed of 15.5 knots. At 11 knots, Seven has a range of 4,000 nautical miles.

Wider 165 Cecilia

Cecilia , the new Wider 165, has features that the Italian builder pioneered, including a massive master suite with balconies, hybrid propulsion, and unusually large interior spaces. The Wider Beach is probably the yard’s most notable achievement. A Wider 32 is the yacht’s tender and fits into a specially designed garage. When the boat is launched directly into the ocean, the area fills and turns into a saltwater swimming pool. The Fulvio De Simoni design includes abundant exterior spaces and full-height windows. Cecilia has five staterooms for 10 guests, with quarters for nine crew members.

Ada Yacht Works All About U

The 164-foot custom sloop-rigged motor sailer All About U from Turkey-based Ada Yacht Works launched this last summer. Now the company’s flagship, the sailing yacht accommodates 12 guests in a full-beam master suite, full-beam VIP stateroom, and four double staterooms, plus four crew cabins. An open-plan saloon, dining room, and wheelhouse provide endless views. A 700-square-foot flybridge deck means plenty of room for plenty of guests, and a folding transom that transforms into a 280-foot beach club gets everyone into the water. The All About U sports a top speed of 15 knots, thanks to two Caterpillar engines.

CRN Latona.  Photo: Federico Ferretti

Delivered in May by Italian yachtbuilder CRN , 164-foot Latona (formerly Project Superconero) makes its world premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show. Zuccon International Project and  CRN ’s engineers collaborated with the owner’s team to create a yacht that carries a glimmer of CRN’s past, the project adopting the name of CRN’s 75-foot SuperConero series of the 1960s and ’70s. That yacht, fairly small now, was an important project at the time because it was built in steel. The SuperConero design also had an iconic shape featuring an unusually long transom deck and sharp forefoot.

Latona inherited SuperConero cues such as a sharp entry and an extended transom deck, but modern features include a large social area on the foredeck, a terrace that folds out from the saloon, and a large beach club off the tender garage. Latona ’s flooding floating tender garage and beach club create a large waterside lounge area. The cockpit on the main deck, a level above, has a separate swimming pool and large area for socializing.

Boasting four decks and an underdeck, Latona ’s interior was created in the Liberty style, the Central European genre from the 1920s. The owner chose the sinuous dark-brown embroidery found across all decks. Depending on the area of the yacht, the pattern travels along both marble and carpeted floors as well as on the curved handrail of the internal staircase, contrasting nicely with the light-wood paneling on the walls. Full-height windows in the saloon and master suite provide incredible views of the water and welcome natural light. Latona accommodates 10 guests in five staterooms: the master, two VIPs, and two double cabins, plus housing for nine crew members.

Damen Yachts Power Play  Photo: Courtesy of Damen

Damen Yachts Power Play  

Damen ’s new 182-foot  Power Play  support vessel does more than carry tenders, toys, and extra supplies. It’s kind of like a hybrid between a standard shadow boat and a primary superyacht, featuring a main-deck saloon, three large staterooms, and a rear deck for guests.

The sixth of  Damen ’s YS-5009 series,  Power Play  was made for adventure. It can be used for long-distance trips as a standalone yacht or as a support vessel for extra crew, supplies, or security. Damen made sure Power Play could operate in zero-discharge zones like marine sanctuaries.  Power Play features a 13-ton deck crane for launching large equipment such as personal submarines. Designed like a support vessel for running in rough seas, it sports a 20-knot maximum speed.

Rossinavi Flying Dagger

Rossinavi has built some of the world’s most interesting custom yachts in the world. Its recent launch, the 161-foot Flying Dagger , is no exception. Enrico Gobbi’s Team for Design penned both the interior and exterior. The jaunty superstructure, sloped windscreen, and extended foredeck is mated to a straight-line hull, with large windows on both sides. The boat has three 2,600 hp MTU engines that are linked to three KaMeWa water jets. That will give the yacht a top end of 27 knots and a cruise speed of 23 knots. At a leisurely 12 knots, Flying Dagger has a 3,300-mile range.

Baglietto 48M T-Line

Baglietto ’s new 157-foot superyacht, the 48M T-Line, can rightly claim to be the yard’s first in-house design since the new executive team took over the iconic brand three years ago.  Baglietto , which built its first boat in 1854, is clearly moving into the next chapter of its long history with this new design.

Francesco Paszkowski has shaped  Baglietto  for nearly a decade, giving the yacht line its signature look, and he was commissioned to do the exterior for the 48 T-Line. Baglietto’s design team crafted the interior, using Italian walnut as the base wood and combining it with gold and bronze accents, light carpet, and cream-colored leathers. As a contrast to the dark joinery and tables, the team used a light-colored Canaletto-nut-pattern wood floor in the saloon and staterooms. The paneling on the walls features irregular cuts of inlaid wood to give it a modern feel without detracting from the yacht’s elegance. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the saloon and skylounge with natural light.

An unusually large beach club, more than 500 square feet, is devoted to a steam room, bar, and an area that could be used as a gym, spa, or some sort of quiet retreat center—not to mention the actual beach club that provides easy water access and a nice reprieve to enjoy the view.

Paszkowski’s exterior also includes social areas on the foredeck, flybridge, and aft cockpit—the sundeck alone has 1,400 square feet of open space.

Powered by twin Caterpillar diesel engines, the 48M T-Line has a 16-knot maximum speed and a cruising speed of 12 knots.

Mangusta Oceano 46 Q95.  Photo: Courtesy of Mangusta

Mangusta Oceano 46 Q95

Mangusta ’s new tri-deck, 151-foot Q95 is a fresh departure for the Italian builder. The new steel-hulled model not only shows parent-company Overmarine’s commitment to the long-range displacement segment, but the Oceano 46 was also designed by a dream team comprised of two of Italy’s most celebrated designers. Stefano Righini’s exterior gives Q95 its contemporary look, a trait demanded by Mangusta owners, but Righini made sure to include large spaces that make the yacht a pleasure to cruise on over long distances. Those spaces include a swimming pool on the foredeck, a skydeck that invites relaxation and exceptional views of the water, and a rear cockpit on the main deck for alfresco dining. The interior by Alberto Mancini includes light-wood paneling on the walls, backlit stonework, and details like a dark-framed painting of tigers overlooking the formal dining table. The master suite has three skylights as well as a foldout balcony. The yacht’s staterooms can accommodate 12 guests.

Custom Line Navetta 42.  Photo: Courtesy of Custom Line

Custom Line Navetta 42

Back in the day—as recently as just five years ago—the naveta-style boat was the closest thing the Italians made to an American trawler, with a seaworthy displacement hull, a no-frills interior, and not much in the way of exterior social space. It was the type of vessel on which roughing it was considered a virtue and modern conveniences like, say, a Jacuzzi were for wimps.

Over the last three years, the designers of Ferretti’s  Custom Line  broke the naveta concept into small pieces and redesigned it for the modern superyacht world. The company’s reinterpretation means the naveta is no longer Italy’s equivalent of a slow boat to China, but a handsome, comfortable, and efficient design that is attracting owners of other types of motor yachts.

The 138-foot yacht is the largest semi-displacement hull that Custom Line has built, with a top-end speed of 22 knots and a transatlantic range of 3,000 nautical miles at its friendly cruise speed.

But that’s just the start. The 42 has a huge social island on the exterior foredeck with a settee, table, and four-person sunbed. On the flybridge is a small Jacuzzi forward, loungers, and a helm station under the hardtop as well as an open area at the stern with space for loose furniture—perfect for savoring the view. The cockpit just below has a similar layout, with an outside dining table for eight. The lower area of the stern features a tender garage with a new launch-and-retrieval system and transom space for a beach club.

The interior is also ultramodern. The main deck has a long saloon that includes sofas at the rear and a formal dining area forward, plus a full-beam master suite with a patio on one side and a desk along the other bulkhead. On the lower deck, four double guest suites, all with large windows, are equal in size and positioned for maximum room to move around the double bed. An owner can also opt for a five-stateroom layout.

Conrad C133 Viatoris  

Arguably the hottest studio in superyacht design, UK-based Reymond Langton was behind the contemporary but elegant look of the new  Viatoris , the 133-footer from Conrad shipyard. The designers did away with the usual stacked wedding-cake look and instead introduced curves to the rear of the upper decks that lend an air of individuality to its blue-and-white profile while also providing an exceptional view for the owners and guests. Besides the unusually ornate interior, the 133 differs from other yachts in its class with the four balconies that open outward on the main deck (two in the master suite and two in the aft saloon) that give an open-air feel to these areas. The owner uses  Viatoris  as a home on the water rather than a weekend retreat, which explains the full-beam master suite, generous social spaces on the bridge and sundecks, and custom interior.

Princess Bandazul

The semi-custom 131-foot Bandazul by Princess Yachts has a number of custom modifications from the UK builder’s in-house design team. The owner opted for a combination of light stone, soft fabrics, and glossed wenge joinery. The yacht’s extended saloon joins an open sundeck. The seating on the foredeck is also expansive with a table and seats, and there’s another large area in the cockpit. The owner wanted four larger suites, rather than the traditional five-stateroom layout, so there’s a large VIP stateroom belowdecks. Bandazul is powered by twin 1,920 hp MTU diesels for a maximum speed of 22 knots.

CBI Navi Stella di Mare  Photo: Courtesy

CBI Navi Stella di Mare

The fully custom 131-foot Stella di Mare from CBI Navi is a long-range expedition yacht designed by Sergio Cutolo of HydroTec. The exterior design has multiple social spaces, including a flybridge with 915 square feet of open deck, a large upper foredeck, and a main-deck cockpit measuring 800 square feet. The interior by Fossati Design Bureau includes an expansive saloon with a formal dining area as well as five staterooms, with the owner’s suite situated on the main deck. The yacht is powered by twin 1,000 hp Caterpillar C32 diesels, which delivers a maximum speed of 14 knots. Stella di Mare has a range of 6,900 nautical miles at 10.5 knots.

Sunseeker 131 Zozo  Photo: Mike Jones

Sunseeker 131 Zozo

The first in Sunseeker’s new 131 Yacht line, Zozo launched last year. The beauty about the 131-foot tri-deck Sunseeker model is that no two will look alike. Sunseeker’s customization service not only personalizes the interior decor but also the internal configurations. The standard layout is for 10 guests in five cabins, though an owner can choose to increase or decrease the number of staterooms.

Building on the success of the Sunseeker 130, the 131 features improvements such as an extended skydeck and upper aft deck, allowing for a larger bar and more seating, as well as a hot tub on the skydeck. A deck below, the flydeck features a dining table for 10 that adjoins the upper saloon. On the main deck, the open-plan saloon has a large social area with sofas and a formal dining table. And the palatial main-deck master includes a large bedroom, separate desk and lounge areas, and a full-beam bathroom forward, with his-and-her sinks, a shower, a toilet/bidet, and even a bathtub.

The garage accommodates a 20-foot tender and two jet skis. Zozo hits a top speed of 25 knots— fast for a superyacht—and cruises at 10 knots to provide a 1,500-mile range.

The most epic super-yachts at the F1 Monaco Grand Prix

Yachts routinely steal the show during the F1 grand prix weekend.

The yachts docking in the harbour for the F1 Monaco Grand Prix have turned heads - with a couple particularly impressing.

A yacht named Seven Sins caused a commotion because there is a Bugatti Chiron onboard.

The Seven Sins can be chartered for a week at a much more reasonable $300,000 but that doesn’t come with the Bugatti! 

The car itself is worth around £2.5m and, now, there is one in full view in Monaco harbour during the F1.

A yacht named Evrima, owned by Ritz-Carlton, is being used by Lewis Hamilton , George Russell and Toto Wolff as part of their partnership with Mercedes .

Evrima is more of a floating luxury hotel than a boat.

Guests have voyaged around France before docking in Monaco for the coolest weekend of the year.

Rooms cost $10,000 to $100,000 for holidaymakers at this time of year.

If you want to charter Evrima, it will set you back $2.2m for a week.

It boasts 149 rooms, a private terrace for each suite, an infinity pool and even an onboard therapist.

It has direct access to the seawater, and watersports, from its deck.

The biggest yacht at the Monaco Grand Prix (so far) is actually owned by the Ritz-Carlton. • 149 Cabins • Pools, Spa & Gym • Rooms cost $10,000 to $100,000+ It's essentially a luxury cruise — you spend a few days in France and then dock in Monaco for the race. Pretty crazy. pic.twitter.com/7aGVIs5Peg — Joe Pompliano (@JoePompliano) May 23, 2024

A superyacht named Faith has also docked in Monaco for the grand prix and it is known to some of F1's richest people.

The $200m yacht was previously owned by Lawrence Stroll, the current Aston Martin owner.

Stroll sold it to the billionaire father of former F1 driver Nicholas Latifi.

Faith has a helipad onboard plus a gym and a theatre.

And it's yours to rent for one week for a mere $1.5m...

A yacht named Lionheart is also turning heads in Monaco this year.

It was formerly owned by businessman Philip Green, and is valued at $150m.

The largest yacht currently in Monaco's Port Hercule is Lionheart, a superyacht built for businessman Philip Green by Benetti SpA, which cost $150 million. She carries the most memorable tender — a VanDutch 55 named Lioncub. #MonacoGP https://t.co/imLYYhw8Uc pic.twitter.com/C3WzzyQZh0 — Vincenzo Landino (@vincenzolandino) May 20, 2024

Most famously, when Kimi Raikkonen was forced to retire early from the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix, rather than go back to his team garage he instead walked straight to the harbour to find his yacht.

Moments later, he was spotted lounging in the sun onboard his private yacht with his friends - with the F1 race going on without him.

The largest yachts attending the Monaco Yacht Show 2024

The highlight of the superyacht calendar, every year the Monaco Yacht Show attracts the latest and greatest builds from around the world. Over 20 entries in the 50-metre-plus range have already been confirmed, with the show set to return to Port Hercule from 25 to 28 September.

BOAT takes a closer look at the biggest yachts both in the port and at anchor, beginning with the largest yacht to ever attend the Monaco Yacht Show...

Length : 122m Builder : Lürssen

This year's headliner is also one of the industry's latest deliveries. Kismet was handed over to her owner Shahid Khan in May 2024, who previously owned the 95.2-metre Lürssen yacht Whisper (formerly Kismet ). His new yacht reunites him with Reymond Langton Design for the interior, but the exteriors on the new build have been helmed by Nuvolari Lenard . She's now one of the world's most expensive yachts for charter , asking a staggering €3,000,000 per week with Cecil Wright & Partners . And no wonder, with a helipad, beauty salon, indoor and outdoor cinema, dance floor and gym at guests' fingertips.

Renaissance

Length : 111.9m Builder : Freire

It took four decades of experience and imagination and two generations of the Bannenberg design dynasty to make   Renaissance a reality. Both the largest private yacht built in Spain and one of the world's most expensive charter yachts , the superyacht is quite the feat for Freire as a commercial shipyard that has built only one private yacht in the past. Renaissance has 7,200 GT to play with and rises to the challenge with one deck dedicated to the owner and another to wellness, made complete with a sauna, ballet bar and a spacious gym with an equipment list that would "amaze an elite athlete" according to Burgess.

Renaissance is available for charter with Burgess from $3,000,000 per week.

Length : 90.1m Builder : Oceanco

Luiz de Basto first dreamt up Dar ' s sinuous, shark-inspired design eight years before her delivery, while seated in his Miami office overlooking Biscayne Bay. Dar features around 390 square metres of glass in her superstructure alone, not counting the doors and hull windows. Once inside, the result is said to be like floating in mid air. Standout features include an owner's deck – complete with private saloon and Jacuzzi – as well as a wellness area, with Hammam, sauna and massage room. She won Motor Yacht of the Year at the 2019 World Superyacht Awards and was recently selected to be BOAT International 's charter yacht of the week . The superyacht is making her return to the Monaco Yacht Show after first appearing in Port Hercule shortly after delivery. 

Dar is asking €208,000,000 with Large Yacht Corp .

Length : 85.3m Builder : SilverYachts

Billed as a "sports activity vessel", explorer yacht Bold was delivered by the Australian yard in 2019 and sports a striking, military-inspired exterior by Espen Øino . A cruising range of 5,000 nautical miles and provisions storage for up to five months means that Bold can certainly handle going off the grid. But, with her huge toy locker and open aft deck that functions as a waterside chillout zone, the superyacht really thrives in warmer climes. She is a popular charter yacht , with a variety of watertoys and a vast outdoor entertaining area complete with a bar and Teppanyaki grill, a cinema, an eight-person hot tub and a lounge surrounding a firepit.

Bold is available for charter with Hill Robinson from €875,000 per week.

Length : 80m Builder : Oceanco

Delivered in 2007, Aalto marked a "new era" for Oceanco's 80-metre-plus division.

Accommodation is provided for a party of 12 in eight cabins, with her owner's suite taking up almost half of the upper deck and boasting two Jacuzzis and a Portuguese bridge. Aalto has had numerous refits, most recently in 2022 and 2024.

Aalto is asking €79,750,000 with Burgess , Edmiston and Y.CO .

The superyacht has an impressive volume of 2,885GT which houses accommodation for 14 guests, an upper deck aft pool, a spacious gym, a large beach club with spa and a glass elevator, to name a few.

Length : 73.3m    Builder : SilverYachts

Dragonfly was hailed as the fastest, most fuel-efficient long-range cruiser when she was delivered in 2009, with a transatlantic range of 22 knots. Her streamlined exterior and elongated bow sprung from the boards of Espen Øino , while her rich, ambient interiors are by Danielo Silvestrin . Dragonfly 's outdoor cinema, large sunpad that can convert into a dance floor and swim platform – dubbed the "ultimate toy launchpad" by the broker – are the major crowd pleasers. She was also commended for her contribution to the disaster relief effort in Vanuatu after Hurricane Pam devastated the island in 2015.

Planet Nine

Length : 73.2m Builder: Admiral - The Italian Sea Group

Planet Nine is asking €79,500,000 with Fraser .

Length : 67.5m Builder : Icon Yachts

The Instagram-famous superyacht Loon (ex Icon ) is sure to draw the crowds in Port Hercule this year. She was delivered in 2010 as the flagship of the Dutch shipyard, with an exterior design by RWD and clean, contemporary interiors by Studio Linse . A raised main deck pool is one of her many highlights with two panels of glass that filter natural light into the beach club below. A bar, gym, massage room and sauna are also found at this level. Loon was sold to a new owner in April 2023, after which she joined the charter fleet.

Loon is available for charter with IYC from €540,000 per week.

Length : 67m Builder : Benetti

The American owners of Calex previously owned a string of Westport s, until they decided they wanted a "50-metre on steroids". Westport was unable to oblige at the time, and a visit on board a friend's yacht – the 61-metre Diamonds are Forever – made them realise they wanted Benetti to build it. Calex is a full-custom project, with the owner's deck a definite highlight. It occupies 160 square metres and features a bar and a private, open-air lounge forward. The owners also requested that the crew quarters include materials and furnishings of a similar quality to those used in the guest accommodation. Exterior design is by Giorgio M. Cassetta .

Length : 63.5m Builder : Benetti

Lioness V will surely be drawing large crowds at Port Hercule this year with her long, sweeping windows and well-balanced profile. However, the superyacht is best known for her opulent interiors, including guest areas inlaid with mother of pearl and Crema Marfil stone. The sundeck is Lioness V 's social hub, arranged with al fresco dining, an automated golf Tee-It driving range, a plunge pool and sunpads and loungers galore. A cinema room, fully equipped gym, media room and study ensure that guests remain entertained in all seasons. She joined the market for the first time in September 2023.

Lioness V is asking €45,000,000 with Camper & Nicholsons and Merle Wood & Associates .

Length : 63m   Builder : Benetti

Artisan may be based on Benetti’s proven platform, but the commissioning owner’s request for an extra deck has made her one of a kind. The superyacht clinched a Neptune at the 2020 World Superyacht Awards and features a number of unconventional amenities, including an asymmetric upper saloon with a grand piano, Fendi furniture and a bar sculpted from Bianco Statuario marble. The master suite is a real highlight, measuring 160 square metres and overlooking a private bow terrace with intimate seating and sunpads. Owners can also enjoy an attached office and lounge area, two dressing rooms and two interconnected bathrooms.

Artisan is asking €59,750,000 with Royal Yacht International.

Length : 62m Builder : Viareggio Superyachts (VSY)

Another Espen Øino design, Sealion accommodates 12 guests across six cabins, including an owner's suite with a raised layout for panoramic views and"spa-like features", including a Jacuzzi tub. Meanwhile, a cinema room in the skylounge and her two-level sundeck – complete with a bar, Jacuzzi, sunpads and mist options – are ready to entertain guests. The superyacht's previous name, Candyscape II,  alludes to her eclectic interiors courtesy of Candy & Candy studio . Highlights include a spectacular Schimmel glass grand piano in the main saloon and an ornate glass lift that links the lower deck to the bridge deck. She was recently selected as BOAT International 's charter yacht of the week .

Sealion is POA with Denison Yachting .

Length : 61.5m Builder : Sanlorenzo

Making an appearance at the Monaco Yacht Show 2024, Lemon Tree was delivered in 2021 as the first Sanlorenzo 62Steel. What sets this superyacht apart is her owner's cabin, fitted with a private deck and pool and an adjoining sky lounge, which can be converted into a family cinema. Another highlight of this yacht is the large Hammam and beach club, which has openings on three sides and a glass ceiling that filters natural light through the pool. Accommodation is for a party of 14 guests in seven cabins – one of which can be turned into a massage room.

Lemon Tree is asking €59,500,000 with Y.CO .

Length : 59.8m Builder : CRN

Aifer (ex Ramble on Rose ) was delivered in 2011 to a sculptural design by Zuccon International Project . In May 2019, she emerged from an extensive refit at Icon Yachts , benefitting from a completely new exterior paint job and various interior improvements including a new bridge. At the time, Icon Yachts' project manager Jacob de Boer described her as "a one of a kind Italian yacht" with "a Dutch quality refit finish". Accommodation is across six cabins, comprising a master suite located on the main deck with an office, his and hers walk-in wardrobes, sofa area and balcony.

Aifer is asking €31,500,000 with Camper & Nicholsons and IYC .

Length : 60m Builder : Amels

Entourage won big this year, cinching a BOAT International Design & Innovation Award and a Neptune at the World Superyacht Awards . While the first hull in the series, Come Together , features distinctive geometric windows, the design team customised this second Amels 60 with long strips of glazing that allow additional light into the interior. Another noteworthy design choice is the extended bridge deck and sundeck which, first requested by the owner, has now been implemented in all subsequent builds. It was this "fantastic evolution" that swayed the judges, though they were also impressed by Entourage 's clever use of space, including her optimised storage.

Entourage is available to charter with Moran Yacht & Ship from €435,000 per week.

Length : 60m Builder : Lürssen

Another World Superyacht Awards winner, Caipirinha picked up the coveted Motor Yacht of the Year Award in 2010. She was designed by Espen Øino and Mark Berryman and has a "versatile" layout, according to the broker – including a formal saloon that can be converted to a cinema via a hidden screen and projector. Other highlights include a formal dining room for 14 guests and a sundeck arranged with a Jacuzzi, a gym, an onyx-topped bar and a casual lounge area. This is not her first yacht show appearance, but her German pedigree and impressive design credentials will make her worth a visit in Monte Carlo during the boat show. 

Caipirinha is asking $59,990,000 with Burgess and SuperYachtsMonaco . 

Pink Shadow

Length : 58m Builder : Damen Yachting

Delivered last summer, Pink Shadow is an eye-catching new entry in the SUV (Sports Utility Vessel) sector and the first unit in the Dutch shipyard's 58M Xplorer series. The superyacht is widely known for her richly coloured, eclectic Design Unlimited interiors, inspired by the Amazonian adventure-drama Fitzcarraldo . Highlights include a crocodile-teeth table, neon wall hangings and "The Habana Room", an upper deck cigar lounge made complete with a bespoke humidor. However, it was her fun, multi-functional exterior that won her a BOAT International Design & Innovation Award earlier this year. 

Diamond Binta

Length : 58m Builder : Tankoa Yachts

This full-custom superyacht was launched in late June, making her one of the newest entries on this list of yachts at the Monaco Yacht Show 2024. Diamond Binta was designed by long-time collaborator Francesco Paszkowski Design for a repeat Tankoa client, who previously owned the 50-metre Binta D'Or (now Sp1 ).

Stepping outdoors, Silver Star features a large open beach club with glass gunwales, a sundeck Jacuzzi and a touch-and-go helipad that doubles as a sunbathing spot.

Length : 55.3m Builder : Damen Yachting

She may be a support vessel, but Shadow was the first of her series to feature dedicated guest accommodation whilst still maintaining support yacht functionality. Key features include a 190 square metre aft deck helipad, which can support a maximum take-off weight of 3,700kg and extra accommodation for four staff, pilots, security or guides. Superyacht water toy storage is another one of her strong suits, as the deck crane can lift up to 12 tonnes – enough to launch a personal submarine.

Shadow is asking $16,722,769 with Superyacht Sales and Charter .

Length : 55m Builder : Heesen Yachts

Another Monaco Yacht Show debutante, Moskito made her grand entrance back in 2021. She has a "shark tooth" superstructure owed to Frank Laupman’s Omega Architects , while accommodation is for 12 guests across six Bannenberg & Rowell -styled cabins. This includes the master cabin, which measures a generous 82 square metres and is outfitted in a palette of "taupes, browns and creams". Moskito is a familiar face on the charter circuit and is best known for her beach club, which features a sauna, steam room and a plethora of watertoys for guests to choose from.

Length : 54m Builder : Overmarine Group

Siniar will be a rare sight at this year's show as one of only three Mangusta GranSport 54 models on the water.

Highlights include her large tinted windows which allow for airy interiors, accommodation for up to 12 guests including a full-beam owner's suite and storage for a Castoldi Jet Tender 21 and a variety of watertoys. The superyacht  has a maximum speed of 29 knots and a range of 4,200 nautical miles.

Siniar is asking €32,000,000 with Royal Yacht International.

Length : 54m Builder : Amels

Spirit 's attendance at this year's Monaco Yacht Show was confirmed shortly after she rejoined the brokerage market . Her previous sale, back in 2019, resulted in an unexpected refit with Dôme Project Interiors. Beginning with ambitions simply to move the furniture around, the small Swiss designer ended up stripping the interior back to bare walls and floors. And the most impressive part? It took just three months, at the height of restrictions over Covid-19. BOAT International was invited to see the results back in 2021 . Spirit originally had an interior by the renowned Nuvolari Lenard .

Spirit is asking €25,900,000 with Edmiston and Next Yachting.

Five Oceans

Length : 53.3m Builder : Damen Yachting

The aptly named and brightly painted Five Oceans was built to support owner Tommy Allen and his company, Five Oceans Global Solutions – an organisation dedicated to marine conservation, resource management and responsible deep-sea exploration. To this end, the support vessel has been decked out with a 15-tonne deck crane and a vast aft deck measuring nine metres across, making her more than capable of launching and recovering a variety of toys. Five Oceans can also carry anywhere between six and 16 guests or staff, depending on how the owner chooses to use the vessel.

Length : 52.7m Builder : Feadship

From the outside, she’s a classic Feadship; but on the inside, Adventure becomes a showcase of the masterful designs of Tino Zervudachi, the mind behind London’s National Gallery. Accommodation is across six cabins, outfitted in warm honey oak and striking artwork and furnishings in red, pink and blue hues . Other highlights include a piano lounge, an optional massage room and a barbecue, bar Jacuzzi and cinema setup on the sundeck. She was chosen as BOAT International 's charter yacht of the week earlier this year.

Adventure is available for charter with Y.CO from $250,000 per week.

Special One

Length : 52.5m Builder : Royal Huisman

With a towering, six-deck superstructure and a long flared bow, Special One will be hard to miss at this year's show. She is the largest sportfisher in the world and was commissioned by a passionate fisherman who plans to use the yacht to hunt larger predatory fish, including swordfish and marlin. Highlights include laser-powered exterior lighting and a viewing platform which allows guests to observe a dedicated fishing area. While Special One is now well known to the industry, her interiors have remained a closely guarded secret since her launch in February 2024.

The largest yacht in Monaco's harbour

MONACO -- If the wide shots of the Monaco Grand Prix look a little less spectacular this year, it's probably because the circuit's famous harbour is operating at little over half capacity.

Port Hercule, which is skirted by Monaco's famous race track on two sides, usually acts as a magnet for the Mediterranean's superyachts at this time of year, turning 160,000 square metres of liquid real estate into the ultimate playground for the rich and famous.

On a race weekend, a berth in Port Hercule can cost anywhere between €8,000 and €128,000 depending on location and size of boat, with the most expensive positions offering a view of the track from the Nouvelle Chicane to the Swimming Pool complex.

The very biggest boats have no choice but to moor on "The T" behind the Swimming Pool grandstand, with their bows pointing out to sea.

But the COVID-19 pandemic has curbed the party in 2021, with loud music banned after 10 p.m. and no more than 12 guests on a yacht at any time.

The largest yacht in the harbour this year is "Faith", a 316-foot leviathan worth an estimated $200,000,000.

In 2019 it was anchored further down the coastline, acting as the base for Aston Martin team owner Lawrence Stroll and his racing driver son, Lance.

Recent media reports suggest Faith has been sold to Michael Latifi, the billionaire chairman and CEO of Sofina Foods and father of Williams racing driver Nicholas.

Details of Faith can be found online , including its seasonal charter rates, which start at an eye-watering €1,200,000 per week and rise to €1,500,000.

That money not only buys you a lot of yacht for seven days, but also a list of amenities that would make several of Monaco's five-star hotels look rather ill-equipped.

The five-storey floating palace houses a cinema, spa, swimming pool, massage room, steam room, hammam, gym and, rumour has it, a snow room.

It has seven bedrooms that can sleep up to 12 guests, a VIP stateroom to entertain friends and includes an elevator to conveniently link its decks.

Faith also comes laden with toys, including two jet skis, an electric foiling surfboard, three sea bobs and two kayaks.

A helipad and helicopter hangar are built into the floating superstructure, although it seems as though you have to provide your own helicopter.

One charter website carrying details of Faith, claims its "impressive leisure and entertainment facilities make her the ideal charter yacht for socialising and entertaining with family and friends".

The ultimate relaxation escape, O’REA has an expansive swimming pool, a health bar and a spa and sauna. She is powered by twin Caterpillar engines and is equipped with a Dynamic Positioning System, meaning that she can hold place without dropping anchor. 

We for one are extremely excited to see this lineup, alongside numerous other yachts at the show this year. The Monaco Yacht Show will be taking place from the 27th to the 30th September. 

"I am very proud that after building Carinthia VII, we have now been able to participate in her new lease on life with an extensive refit." Peter Lürssen, Managing Partner, Lürssen

By Katie Scott   20 September 2023

Preparing for the latest edition of the iconic Monaco Yacht Show , some of the most impressive luxury yacht charters on the market are set to descend upon the French principality and make a statement for being one of the largest yachts in attendance.

Annually hosting around 600 exhibitors, Port Hercule comes to life as one of the biggest yachting events in the South of France brings the community together to celebrate some of the most magnificent motor yachts on the current market. Operating on a badge system, visitors to the show enjoy a tailor-made experience that is paired off nicely with the indulgent Sapphire VIP program.

However, like any yacht show, the main attraction is the yachts themselves, and this year there are some staggering charter yachts on display at the esteemed show. Ranging in the 90m+ sector, Lurssen, Feadship and Golden Yachts offer some real showstoppers that offer abundant inspiration for your next France yacht charter .

CARINTHIA VII

Indulging in a refit this year, Lurssen's luxury superyacht CARINTHIA VII is an impressive sight to behold with plenty of standout features and captivating designs from British designer Tim Heywood Design.

Offering an abundance of space and a multitude of key highlights such as a beauty salon, spa, elevator, underwater lights, beach club, and gym, there are a lot of reasons why this striking motor yacht would be an ideal partner for an incredible Mediterranean yacht charter .

Boasting an eight-cabin layout, this 97m (318ft) luxury charter yacht is the biggest charter attending the Monaco Yacht Show at the docks, so she is one not to be missed.

Measuring up at 90m (295ft), luxury charter yacht P HOENIX 2  from Lurssen is a striking superyacht with collaborative input on the interiors from Andrew Winch Designs.

A hub for entertainment, PHOENIX 2 features a magical main salon complete with a chandelier and a grand piano, plus an indulgent cinema room, in addition to other key features like a 7.5m sun deck swimming pool, a beautiful winter garden dining area, and top-of-the-range spa facilities.

With a seven-cabin layout, PHOENIX 2 is spacious and opulent, providing all charter guests with an outstanding onboard experience. 

Feadship's charter favorite SAVANNAH ranks as the fourth largest luxury yacht charter attending Monaco this year and offers an indulgent six-cabin layout for up to 12 charter guests.

With a length of 84m (275ft), this luxury charter made her name as the world's first hybrid superyacht with an array of impressive features including an underwater lounge and multiple swimming pools.

An outstanding pedigree yacht that delivers on all fronts, SAVANNAH is a high-demand superyacht and definitely worth a close up inspection at the forthcoming yacht show.

Offering 78m (255.9ft) of indulgent superyacht, luxury charter O'REA from Golden Yachts  is a brand new 2023 build with exquisite indoor/outdoor living and an elaborate layout of eight cabins and many premium facilities. 

With an elevator connecting all decks, charter guests can make the most of the voluminous spaces onboard with an inviting pool and a well-appointed wellness zone, including beach club and sauna, setting the stage for a relaxing charter vacation around Mediterranean favorites like Ibiza .

Topped off with an on-deck Jacuzzi and Wi-Fi connectivity charter guests can be assured of amazing trips time after time.

New in 2022, the striking blue hull of charter yacht KENSHO will also be making a splash at this year's Monaco Yacht Show. Built by Admiral Yachts and with a length of 75m (246ft), KENSHO is just as enticing on the inside as she is from the outside with a host of features prepared to deliver exceptional charter voyages around the world.

Offering outstanding highlights such as a vast beach club featuring a stunning glass-sided swimming pool and a spacious eight-cabin layout for up to 12 charter guests, there's a lot to see and do onboard KENSHO, and that's before you see her impressive collection of water toys.

In addition to the five biggest charter yachts in the show, charter yacht AHPO will be at anchor out in the Monaco bay and availlable for select viewings via tender. Boasting a striking length of 115m (377.7ft), she is a force to be reckoned with and is fully equipped to provide the most captivating luxury yacht charter vacations.

Hosting an expansive beach club, a plethora of wellness facilities, a top-of-the-range gym, helideck, and an outstanding owner's duplex among other key highlights, there are a lot of reasons to choose AHPO as the ideal charter yacht year after year.

Previously breaking records as the largest yacht to attend the Monaco Yacht Show in a decade, this incredible motor yacht is one not to be missed.

This Flash Prize Just Made the SCCA Foundation’s Monaco Grand Prix Megayacht Sweepstakes Even Sweeter

One of SCCA Foundation’s biggest sweepstakes is taking place right now. The Monaco Grand Prix Elite Megayacht 2025 Sweepstakes, which kicked off this summer and runs through Nov. 30, 2024, is for a bucket-list experience every motorsport fan would drool over, with the grand prize winner and a guest heading to the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix F1 race. But thanks to this limited-time-offer flash prize, things just got sweeter.

Before we get to the flash prize, let’s run through the basics.

The Monaco Grand Prix Elite Megayacht 2025 Sweepstakes package includes a three night/four day stay at a boutique luxury hotel in Nice Old Town during the May 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, plus superyacht hospitality access for two guests on all three days of the Grand Prix (practice, qualifying, and race days). Time on the yacht includes luxury breakfast, buffet lunch, a champagne reception, plus beer, wine, spirits, champagne, and soft drinks all day via waitress service. There’s also guest DJs, live music performances, on board TV screens, an F1 celebrity guest speaker, an F1 wristband for Monaco access, and $2,000 to apply toward additional travel expenses, such as airfare.

Note that the sweepstakes does not include grandstand tickets. Instead, you’ll be watching the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix in luxury from the deck of the superyacht Titania. Life can be rough.

Here’s the Flash Prize

SCCA Foundation sweepstakes often include limited-time flash prizes, and this one is a 3D model of the F1 Circuit de Monaco.

Measuring approximately 7” x 7” x 1.4” tall, this 3D model artwork is an accurate, to-scale art piece printed using matte white biodegradable PLA. The famous Monaco harbor is a brilliant blue gloss acrylic providing an eye-catching contrast.

Each piece of art in the print-scape collection comes with a midnight black frame crafted from acrylic for the optimum blend of lightness and durability, providing a modern look and pristine shine. Multiple hanging points on the reverse allow for a seamless wall display, while a folding strut offers that same flexibility for standing on a table, shelf, or mantlepiece. It also comes equipped with a removable spacer that offers the choice of two display depth positions.

This print-scape is a must-have piece for any Formula 1 fan.

This flash prize is available for those who purchase sweepstakes tickets from now until Labor Day

And bonus to this bonus: By using the link below, you’ll get into the flash prize drawing AND get 35% bonus sweepstakes entries.
