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.  Photo: Courtesy of Ada Yacht Works

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  

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

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 Yachts Bandazul.  Photo: Courtesy of Monaco Yacht Show/Princess Yachts

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

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.

Monaco Yacht Show 2023: The Largest Yachts on Display

By Frances Flannagan

The iconic Monaco Yacht Show is set to return for its 32nd edition this September; an exceptional industry-wide annual event that exudes unparalleled grandeur and status. To match the magnificent nature of this event, it is no surprise that some of the world’s most spectacular superyachts, both new and old, look to the show as the very best industry stage. We take a look at the five largest vessels on display for its 2023 edition.

97.2m  CARINTHIA VII

On display with:  Lürssen  and Fraser 

CARINTHIA VII is a 97.2m motor yacht built by Lürssen Yachts in 2002. With exterior lines and interior design penned by Tim Heywood, she is a vessel that boasts unmatched timelessness. Refitted in 2023, she has a sleek steel hull and aluminium superstructure, with a draft of 4.8m and a beam of 15.95m. 

Ranking 68th on Superyachts.com’s Top 100 largest yachts list, she is a highly impressive vessel, able to accommodate up to 12 guests and 15 crew members. She has four MTU 8000 engines, with the ability to reach 25 knots at top speed. 

95.2m  KISMET 

On display with:  Cecil Wright  

Launched in 2014, KISMET is a 95.2m custom motor yacht from Lürssen, featuring exterior design by Espen Oeino and interiors penned by Reymond Langton Design. She has a steel hull and aluminium superstructure with a gross tonnage of 2700 tonnes, a max draft of 3.9 feet and a beam of 13.80 feet. 

KISMET is a perfect vessel for performance as well as for leisure, with a top speed of 17 knots and a range of 6000 NM, as well as being fitted with a jacuzzi, helicopter landing pad and beauty salon. These relaxation opportunities and impressive performance capabilities can be enjoyed by up to 16 guests, whilst also able to house 27 crew members. KISMET ranks at 73 on our Top 100 list. 

83.5m SAVANNAH

On display with:  Feadship

SAVANNAH represents something new within sustainability in the superyacht industry, widely considered to be one of the first true hybrid motor yachts. This 83.5m yacht is one of the most award-winning Feadships on the water. Not only representing a new phase of evolution with regards to sustainability, SAVANNAH is a masterpiece of innovation through design, with a ‘floating superstructure’ that gives her a recognisable, yet timeless profile. 

She was built in 2015, with exterior design by De Voogt Naval Architects and CG Design, who also assisted in the interior styling. The experience on board that is offered to guests is as impressive as the other aspects of her design,with an underwater lounge, cinema, and pool; the ultimate superyacht paradise. 

80m LEONA 

On display with: Bilgin Yachts 

Launched in November 2022, 80m LEONA is the second hull launched from Bilgin Yachts’ Bilgin 263 series. With an eye-catching red hull and gleaming white superstructure, she caught attention from her very first sighting. She has a beam of 12.25m and a draft of 3.5m, with the ability to reach up to 19 knots. 

Unique Yacht Design are responsible for her naval architecture and exteriors, boasting exclusive and large spaces on board, making her the ideal entertainment vessel for the 10 guests she can accommodate. Interiors were penned by H2 Yacht Design, with a cinema, gym and sauna being notable amenities on board. 

77.74m O’REA

On display with: Golden Yachts 

In May of this year, Golden Yachts launched their 77.74m superyacht O’REA. Featuring exterior design by Studio Vafiadis, she is characterised by a powerful profile. Studio Vafiadis and Massari Design collaborated on her interiors; a contemporary design that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces. Over 250 finishes, materials and precious stones were used to decorate the stunning interior spaces, showing her to be the pinnacle of luxury. 

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.

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".

Two yacht crew members remain in custody after Monaco brawl

Posted by Staff Writer | Sep 11, 2024 | Law & Order

Two South African crew members of a yacht moored in Monaco remain in provisional detention following a brawl that occurred near Port Hercule, as first reported by Monaco-Matin . The two men, aged 27 and 28, appeared before the Monaco Criminal Court at a flagrante delicto hearing on Friday, where they requested additional time to prepare their defense. Represented by their lawyer, Sarah Caminiti-Rolland, they argued for the delay to better explore the circumstances surrounding the altercation.

The altercation, which took place around 00:30 near local nightclubs, left the victim with 15 days of temporary incapacity for work. With their heads lowered, the two defendants were escorted into the courtroom by prison officers from the Monaco remand center. Both men face charges for acts of violence committed while under the influence of alcohol.

During the hearing, their lawyer, Ms. Caminiti-Rolland, requested a postponement, citing the need for further investigation. “This decision will result in them remaining in pretrial detention, and they are fully aware of that,” she stated. She also requested that additional witnesses be heard, including individuals who were with her clients during the incident, as well as staff from the La Rascasse and Brasserie establishments. Furthermore, she called for video surveillance footage from 21:00 onwards to be reviewed to clarify the behavior of all parties involved. “We reserve the right to file a complaint against the civil party, who struck the first blows,” she added.

Ms. Caminiti-Rolland also requested that her clients, who have no prior convictions and a history of exemplary behavior, be released under judicial supervision for the duration of the trial. She proposed that they surrender their passports as a condition for their release, emphasizing their cooperation with the court.

However, the prosecution, led by Deputy Prosecutor Julien Pronier, opposed the request, expressing concerns that the defendants might use the opportunity to evade justice. “This is a straightforward case with no discrepancies between the victim’s and the defendants’ accounts,” he argued. “The incident was captured on camera, and my intention was to also consider the victim’s own faults.”

After deliberation, the court decided to keep the two men in custody, citing a “lack of guarantee of representation, a risk of reoffending,” and the need “to avoid any pressure on the victim and witnesses.” The court also denied the defense’s request for further investigations, although they may still call witnesses to testify during the trial.

The trial is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, September 11, at 11:00.

On board the pocket explorer with three master cabins coming to this year’s Cannes and Monaco shows

With nearly five decades of experience in building full custom yachts for a global clientele, Turkish shipyard Aegean Yacht is set to make a splash at the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival and Monaco Yacht Show with its latest launch, the Aegean Explorer M26 . At 26 metres LOA, the second hull will be on display at the shows, following the successful launch of the first in 2022, and marks the fifty-second yacht built by the shipyard since 1978. The Aegean Explorer series also includes 30-metre, 37-metre and 48-metre sizes, with a 33-metre model set to join the lineup soon. BOAT takes an in-depth look at the newly launched 26-metre...

A design ready to customise

With a generous 187GT, the Aegean Explorer M26's design prioritises volume and flexibility, making her ideal for extended journeys. All design work is carried out in-house at the shipyard, and there is ample storage on board, reducing the need for frequent resupply.

One of the standout features is the yacht's unique accommodation setup, designed to cater to 12 guests across six cabins, including three master suites. The upper deck master suite, located to port, boasts a private terrace – an exclusive outdoor space that can be tailored to the owner's preferences. Additional master suites are located in the bow on both the main and lower decks. The lower deck also houses a VIP double cabin to starboard, along with two twin cabins on either side.

The crew quarters are equally well-considered, with four individual ensuite cabins that eliminate the need for crew members to share, fostering greater crew satisfaction and, in turn, better service quality. This attention to detail for both the guests and crew could enhance the yacht's appeal on the charter market.

The layout of the Aegean Explorer M26 is highly customisable, offering a range of possibilities. Owners could opt for a Jacuzzi on the aft or foredeck, transform the upper deck master suite into a skylounge with a bar and cosy seating, or even install a gym on the lower deck. The accommodation configuration can also be adjusted, and the interior styling is equally flexible, allowing for a personalised aesthetic.

The second hull’s interior showcases a minimalist design with neutral tones that create a calming atmosphere, including matte-finished limewashed oak, white lacquer and stainless-steel accents.

Reliable and efficient

The Aegean Explorer M26 is engineered for reliability and efficiency, starting with its robust construction featuring a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. Efficiency was a key focus in the design, incorporating energy-efficient appliances and an optimised hull shape to minimise resistance and fuel consumption.

Powered by two 650 hp MAN D2676LE425 engines and two Kohler 35 kW EFKOZD generators, the yacht achieves a top speed of 12.7 knots and boasts a transoceanic range of 3,500 nautical miles at an economical speed of eight knots. This long-range capability, coupled with low fuel consumption, ensures extended cruising without frequent refuelling stops, as highlighted by the shipyard.

Images show a spacious engine room, and there is reliable technology on board such as an Opacmare gangway, Side-Power hydraulic bow thruster, DATA windlasses, CMC electric stabilisers and Webasto central air conditioning.

The shipyard consistently receives positive feedback from clients, underscoring its reputation for quality superyacht building. Reflecting on their experience, the owner of the first Aegean Explorer M26 shares: "The Aegean Explorer's robust hull gives me immense confidence on long voyages, knowing she can effortlessly navigate challenging conditions.”

Asking €5,650,000, the Aegean Explorer M26 presents an opportunity for prospective owners to purchase a yacht with immediate availability. The second hull will be on display at the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival in Port Canto and the Monaco Yacht Show. Call Aegean Yacht on +90 533 923 93 58 or visit the shipyard's website .

Célébrer l'exceptionnel : détails de l'édition 2024 de The Honours

Communiqué de presse - 12 septembre 2024

Amsterdam & Monaco, le 12 septembre 2024 - Après le succès de sa première édition, The Honours se prépare à renouveler l'expérience. La Superyacht Life Foundation et le Monaco Yacht Show sont heureux de dévoiler davantage de détails, en attendant avec impatience de découvrir les personnalités exceptionnelles qui seront honorées en 2024.

Cet événement exclusif se tiendra cette année le 24 septembre, la veille de l’ouverture du Monaco Yacht Show 2024, et mettra à nouveau à l'honneur les personnes les plus influentes et inspirantes de l'industrie du superyachting. L'année dernière, l'excitation était à son comble alors que les invités se préparaient à découvrir les noms des premiers Honorees : une soirée magnifique qui a mis en lumière des histoires personnelles dans un cadre qui a inspiré des moments mémorables, au milieu d'art expérientiel dans une impressionnante galerie monégasque. Cette année, le panel d'experts, composé de personnalités renommées avec une riche expérience dans huit secteurs différents, a reçu près de 300 nominations de toute l'industrie du yachting. Les candidatures témoignent d'une détermination extraordinaire et d'un impact significatif sur la communauté du superyachting. Les nominations de 2024 ont été analysées avec soin selon des critères rigoureux : impact et réalisation, leadership et influence, service et engagement envers l'industrie et la société dans son ensemble, innovation et créativité, et enfin, intégrité et caractère de chaque individu. Le concept innovant de cette soirée a été conçu avec un objectif simple en tête : détourner l'attention des yachts très célébrés pour la porter sur les personnalités extraordinaires de l'industrie du superyachting qui accomplissent des choses remarquables. Créée par The Superyacht Life Foundation en association avec le Monaco Yacht Show et sponsorisée par Agusta, Feadship, Fred, Jetex, Richard Mille, Sanlorenzo et le partenaire automobile Mercedes-Maybach, cette soirée accueillera cette année les invités dans un lieu emblématique, la Salle des Étoiles, Monte-Carlo Sporting. La soirée expérimentale de The Honours contribuera à la magie du moment et aura pour ligne directrice les fascinantes histoires de vie des trois Honourees. Cette année encore, chaque Honouree se verra remettre un trophée Bowspirit, conçu par Preciosa en carbone et cristal ; un symbole de l'effet de chaine de leurs actions, de ceux qui sont à la pointe, traçant une nouvelle voie alors que les vagues de leurs actions se propagent, et inspirent. Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director du Monaco Yacht Show, souligne : « Les personnes exceptionnelles de notre industrie témoignent de son caractère extraordinaire. Je suis ravie de célébrer ces individus aux côtés des yachts exposés dans le port Hercule cette année encore. De l'exploration et de l'artisanat à la durabilité et à la philanthropie, les histoires qui émergent de la communauté du yachting résonnent et impactent bien au-delà de notre industrie. » Dilan Saraç, Directeur exécutif de The Superyacht Life Foundation ajoute : « Je suis ravie de cette deuxième édition de The Honours - une opportunité unique de mettre en lumière les individus incroyables de notre industrie qui sont à la pointe d’un changement positif vers un avenir plus brillant, plus compatissant et plus durable. J'ai hâte de partager leurs histoires inspirantes et de leur donner la reconnaissance qu'ils méritent vraiment. »

Shhh! Ohtani chase kept quiet by design

Blue jays stay tightlipped in pursuit, while dodgers manager admits to their meeting.

Keegan Matheson

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Silence is golden and secrecy is sublime. 

Standing in the eye of the biggest, boldest pursuit in franchise history, the Blue Jays aren’t saying a word. Even the name “ Shohei Ohtani ” is spoken carefully, each syllable tiptoeing gently to the next. 

Don’t rock the boat. Don’t wake the baby.

The secrecy with which baseball’s brightest star lives his life has taken over his free agency, which is bubbling to a boil here at the Winter Meetings. Earlier this offseason, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that it would be “held against” potential suitors if news leaked that he’d visited a specific team.

Well, it’s happening.

Every good drama has a shocking confession, and this one came from Dodgers manager Dave Roberts on Tuesday afternoon, admitting that he and members of Los Angeles’ front office had met with Ohtani in recent days. It all went very well, the veteran manager thought, and besides, the news would get out eventually.

“Clearly,” Roberts said, “ Shohei is our top priority .”

This was a wailing siren through the silence, because even following reports that Ohtani had toured Toronto’s training facilities in Dunedin, Fla., over the weekend, the Blue Jays refused to give that fire any oxygen, instead letting it live as a detail and nothing more.

Soon after Roberts dropped that nugget, though, Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes stood before a throng of cameras -- less than 50 feet from Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins doing the same -- and struck a much different tone. Gomes acknowledged the comment made by his manager, said he was surprised that it was made and went no further. No comments on Ohtani, no comments on a meeting that may or may not have happened. 

That toothpaste isn’t going back in the tube.

Across the room, Atkins spoke vaguely, dancing in the shadows between questions. It’s the same approach he took Monday, when his in-person media availability was suddenly shifted to Zoom , where the GM was cryptic with details as he sat in front of a blank, white wall, refusing to answer where in the world he was. 

“Everything that we’re doing to make the team better, to the extent that we will keep private, we will do,” Atkins said. “Meetings that occur, don’t occur, I’m not going to get into the specifics of.”

It’s remarkable to watch this happen in real time, a big league GM sidestepping questions not as standard practice, but as an act of strategy that fans are suddenly praising. There’s an elephant in the room, but Atkins will not confirm whether elephants do or do not exist. 

“There’s an incredible amount of energy, an incredible amount of buzz around the game and around several potential opportunities, certainly one that is historic, potentially,” Atkins said.

Atkins is built for this game. He’s the Shohei Ohtani of secrecy.

The Blue Jays’ GM went as far as saying that they are “fortunate to be one that’s being considered,” but offered no details about the reported visit to the club’s player development complex over the weekend.

Manager John Schneider did the same, saying “we meet with lots of players” and sticking to the script throughout his media availability. When a reporter joked that Schneider looked tanned when asking about his whereabouts and involvement in said meeting, Schneider just cracked another smile.

“I live in Florida,” he said.

The logic and logistics of it all point toward a decision coming soon from Ohtani. The Blue Jays and Dodgers are clearly among the front-runners here, and while it’s unclear what impact Roberts’ revelation and recent reports will have on Ohtani’s decision, these two clubs are clearly involved in the final sprint. Others, including the Giants, Cubs and Angels, have also widely been linked to this historic chase. 

When this news breaks, the landscape of Major League Baseball will tilt in an instant. Until then, it’s one of the biggest secrets in baseball history and the Blue Jays aren’t making a sound.
