By Editorial Team   20 September 2022

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

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

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

What’s in store at this year’s show?

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

Sustainability Hub

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

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

Yacht Design and Innovation Hub

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

Adventure Area

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

Dockside Area

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

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

Sailing Yacht Area

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

Sapphire Experience

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

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

How to get around the Monaco Yacht Show 2022

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

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

What is the official MYS 2022 superyacht lineup?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Where to eat at the Monaco Yacht Show 2022

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

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

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

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

Where to party after the Monaco Yacht Show 2022

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

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

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

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

Where to relax after the Monaco Yacht Show 2022

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

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

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

Where to visit after the Monaco Yacht Show 2022

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

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

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

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

Of the hundred or so on display every year, around forty are being unveiled for the first time in their worldwide debut. The average length of the vessels is 50 metres, with some mega yachts exceeding 100 metres. In recent years, the MYS has expanded its offering to include the ultra-high end markets intrinsically linked to the exclusive world of superyachting, featuring luxury goods, cars and motorcycles, helicopters, and private jet constructors.

The Show is now an iconic event, popular with private visitors who come to discover the incredible collection of superyachts available to purchase or charter, and to meet market experts in the festive and glamorous atmosphere of the Principality of Monaco.

WATCH: The 2021 Monaco Yacht Show Superyacht Lineup

By Jenna Mehdi

With an average vessel length of 54m, the Monaco Yacht Show is the most renowned and elite celebration of large superyachts in the yachting calendar. In an exclusive new video produced by Superyachts.com, we give viewers a glimpse of the exceptional lineup they can expect to see grace the dockside of Port Hercules this year.

With just under two weeks to go before the yachting industry and the world super-rich make their way to the Principality of Monaco, anticipation has never been higher. And with some 80 superyachts exhibiting available for sale or charter, as well as 32 yachts enjoying their world premiere at the show, this year’s event promises to more than meet the hype. 

The largest superyacht at the show, confirmed just this week, will be Benetti’s giga yacht flagship 108m IJE. Launched in 2019, IJE is the largest of Benetti’s three giga yachts, and features a timeless exterior by British studio Redman Whiteley Dixon. Also in attendance will be the iconic Lurssen mega yacht KISMET, exhibited by Moran Yacht & Ship, who will also be showcasing 74m Amels yacht PLVS VLTRA. 

German shipyard Nobiskrug, now part of the Tennor Group, will showcase its award-winning hybrid superyacht ARTEFACT. Another example of exceptional superyacht sustainability will be showcased by Feadship, with 94m VIVA. Brokerage house Burgess will arrive in full force with a spectacular fleet including the likes of 92m TATOOSH, 86m C2, both for sale, as well as charter yachts 85m VICTORIOUS and 61m CLOUD 9. SilverYachts’ 85m BOLD will impress with her formidable looks, alongside naval-inspired 71m Lurssen superyacht SKAT. More classically elegant appearances will be made by Rossinavi’s new 80m POLARIS, or 72m Turquoise Yachts’ QUANTUM OF SOLACE. The latter is listed for sale with YPI, alongside the 52m Palmer Johnson yacht DB9.  

Also on display will be Benetti’s new launch 65m ZAZOU, and another Benetti - 63m 11.11 - will be displayed by Y.CO (for sale and charter). Amels and Damen Yachting will showcase two separate branches of their capabilities with the sleek Amels 188 Volpini II and the YS 5009 shadow vessel TIME OFF. LA MASQUERADE, 55m Amels superyacht available for sale, will be exhibited by Cecil Wright & Partners. Other notable attendees include 49m Columbus Yachts’ K2, 80m Bilgin Yachts’ TATIANA - the largest superyacht built in Turkey - and 55m Heesen Yachts’ MOSKITO. Ocean Independence will exhibit 48m classic CRN yacht AZZURRA II, while SuperyachtsMonaco presents 50m Zepter Yachts’ JOYME. 

This year’s edition will also feature a dedicated sailing yacht section, where visitors can admire exceptional sailing yachts including the likes of 33m Vitters’ RIBELLE, 45m Baltic Yachts’ PATH and 30m MORGANA. 

For the complete list of superyachts exhibiting, please head to the Monaco Yacht Show’s official website.

Superyacht Stories Reports on the Monaco Yacht Show 2022

Written By: Sam Watson

From the Monaco Yacht Show 2022, the most important event in the yachting calendar, our reporters on the ground reveal the key insights set to define yachting in 2023 and beyond.

As the sun begins to set on the summer, the world’s yachting elite set sail for the French Riviera for the most illustrious event of the year, the Monaco Yacht Show. Since its inception in 1991, the event has become an important platform for those in the industry to share their news and previews while indulging in the glitz and glamour of the yachting lifestyle at its finest. 

After a week on the ground in the principality of Monaco, our reporters reveal their key insights from the show, from the innovative shipyards making strides in sustainability to the creative concepts making waves across the globe. 

Going green – past and future 

As the industry continues to become increasingly environmentally aware, sustainability returned as a leading theme with the addition of a Sustainability Hub showcasing a wide range of green innovations. At a seminar on the first morning Giedo Loeff, Head of R&D at Feadship, Anders Kurten, CEO of Baltic Yachts, designer and naval architect Philippe Briand and Robert van Tol of Water Revolution Foundation presented “tangible improvements” in hull design, energy and propulsion, and the use of more sustainable materials. Besides yachts of the future, a major point of discussion was the feasibility of ‘green refits’ for the huge number of yachts already in existence. 

Also driving the green energy movement was German shipyard Lürssen which revealed the results of its new Innovation Lab, which has spent the past few months testing and developing methanol fuel cell technologies. It also announced a new partnership with technology group Freudenberg, a world leader in maritime fuel cells. CEO Peter Lürssen said: “We both have the aim to bring fuel cells on board ships in the near future and revolutionise the yacht’s energy and propulsion system. The Innovation Laboratory will definitely bring us a step closer to a CO2 emission free Lürssen yacht.” 

Over in Italy, Rossinavi shipyard revealed it has commenced construction of a 43m hybrid-electric catamaran. Scheduled for delivery in 2024, Sea Cat will store and convert solar energy into electricity and is capable of transatlantic trips – 80% of an Atlantic crossing would be powered by electric energy, supported by 20% diesel generator use, reducing CO2 emissions by 40 tonnes. 

Meanwhile in Austria, Silent-Yachts revealed the expansion of its range of solar-powered catamarans with the 36.7m Silent 120, scheduled for delivery in 2024. “This is the age of the super catamaran,” said CEO Michael Köhler. “Three great trends have converged to make our boats enormously successful. The rebound in yacht sales since Covid is already well documented. But add to that the growth of environmental sensibilities and the recognition that two hulls provide a far more luxurious platform for life at sea, and you have a recipe for unprecedented demand.” 

Blue sky thinking 

Love them or hate them, concept yachts are a key part of the show’s news every year and 2022 was no different. Concepts unveiled focused primarily on leading themes such as indoor-outdoor living and exploration.                    

One of the most talked about was Slice, an 85m superyacht concept by Dutch shipyard Feadship that “turns the inside out and the outside in”. Slice reinvents the way that light can be brought into a yacht. While most vessels feature large glass windows, Slice features a long strip of glass running from the bow to the stern, which allows natural light to filter down to all levels from above. It was created by Studio de Voogt, who designed several stand-out features including a multi-level pool, a 70sqm atrium accessed by cascading staircases. 

Another light-filled concept was Italian shipyard Tankoa’s 68m T680 Fenice concept yacht. Created in collaboration with Enrico Gobbi of Team for Design, it was named after the Fenice opera house in Venice, Gobbi’s home city, and is elegant, bold and dynamic, much like its namesake. “This new project is the result of our desire to be recognised for who we are: a boutique shipyard able to offer a range of unique yachts designed by the best designers,” said Eva Orsi, President of Tankoa. “Enrico Gobbi highlights the unmistakable style, quality, beauty and know-how that goes into making our customers' dreams come true.” 

Explorer yachts made a return this year, too. Perhaps most excitingly, Dutch shipyard Heesen launched a 67m explorer concept in collaboration with British studio Winch Design. The yacht, XV67, creates a “new DNA” for the shipyard and is designed in response to demand from a new generation of customers looking to experience expedition-style adventure travel while indulging in the luxury lifestyle. “The new XV67 remains true to our original design intent: to create an exceptionally capable and beautiful bluewater voyager that will inspire owners to venture into new terrain,” the yard said. 

Cruise control 

One of the worst-kept secrets of the show came not from a shipyard but from a hospitality group, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. The company chose the event to showcase the launch of Four Seasons Yachts , a luxury yachting service set to sail in late 2025. The first yacht in the series was designed by Italian shipbuilding company Fincantieri and will be 207 metres long and feature 95 suites and several dining and leisure outlets as well as fitness and wellness spaces across 14 decks. 

“Four Seasons Yachts represents the next chapter of our long history of industry leading innovation, and a milestone moment for our company as we continue to capitalize on new opportunities to extend the world of Four Seasons,” says Christian Clerc, President, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. “Together with our partners at Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings LTD, we are creating something extraordinary that combines their expertise with what Four Seasons does best – delivering unmatched quality and excellence, surrounded by beautiful acts of service and love for our guests.” 

Deep-sea exploration 

While there was much to talk about on the water, waves were also being made under the surface. Dutch submersible company U-Boat Worx showcased its new two-person NEMO submarine, and revealed Nautilus, a diesel electric submersible yacht concept with five guest rooms. The “underwater yacht”, should it come to fruition, will be able to dive to a depth of 200m and reach speeds of 4 knots underwater and 9 knots on the surface. 

Also new in the world of submersibles is a first-of-its-kind collaboration between three industry leaders, Triton Submarines, Espen Øino International and Dark Ocean Deepsea. The powerful trio came together on a joint submersible project set to “quite literally reimagine subsea craft to change the way our deep oceans are explored”. 

Speaking of the new Triton 660/9 AVA EO Edition, Espen Øino said: “Designing products and experiences that enable human beings to engage more deeply with the ocean environment is a core mission, both personally and for the company. This opportunity for Espen Øino International to further expand its expertise, while also contributing to the dramatic evolution of submersibles, is one I am personally intrigued by and has truly stimulated the team.” 

Eyes on the East 

Much of the superyacht industry has its sights set to the East. Leading yacht charter and brokerage company Camper & Nicholsons revealed the opening of its tenth bureau, in Dubai, with a Singapore office on the horizon as the business continues to expand.  Meanwhile USA-based Denison Yachting is set to open a London office. “Usually, people expand from the UK to the USA, but we are doing it the other way round,” said CEO Bob Denison. 

Celebrating its 40 th  anniversary this year, Gulf Craft, a global brand in the field of composite-built superyachts unveiled plans for their new Majesty 160 due for delivery in 2025. Gulf Craft’s Chairman Mohammed Hussein AlShaali said: “The Majesty 160 will be our second largest vessel and will be a class-apart in its segment, catering to the needs and requirements of customers through its exceptional design, architecture and state-of-the-art engineering and technological features.” 

Further developments in the Middle East were unveiled at a Superyachts in the Gulf seminar at Yacht Club de Monaco. Al Seer Marine, MB92 Group and P&O Marinas have signed a memorandum of understanding for a joint venture to develop the first superyacht refit and repair facility in the UAE (Dubai). Construction of the shipyard is scheduled for completion in 2026, with the joint venture offering its superyacht repair and refit services from 2023. 

Supported by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism and Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism, this is a strategic move in support of wider plans to position the UAE as a superyacht hub and become the winter yachting destination of the future.

Overall, the mood was positive among all exhibitors, with strong sales figures revealed for the last year and much optimism for the coming 12 months, despite ongoing political and financial issues in Europe. Time will tell how these impact predictions, although for now at least, it seems the future is smooth sailing.

by Fran Miller

September 13, 2023

Monaco Yacht Show

M onaco has long been synonymous with beauty and adventure. From the glamour introduced long ago by Princess Grace, to the excitement of the Monaco Grand Prix , to the assortment of dazzling yachts and superyachts moored within its picturesque harbor, Monaco is a place for bon vivants and dreamers and if those dreams include ownership of a superyacht, September is the time to visit. From September 27 – 30, this French Riviera enclave plays host to The Monaco Yacht Show , the world’s largest assemblage of innovative superyachts and luxury tenders, each showcased for guests within Monaco’s Port Hercule.

Originally established in 1991 merely as a broker event, the show has morphed into an international celebration of utter indulgence and luxury, drawing in yacht owners, enthusiasts, and potential buyers from all over the world. The Monaco Yacht Show is organized by the British events and publishing company Informa and under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco. This year’s show features 118 superyachts , more than 40 of which are making their world premiere, such as the Francesco Paszkowski -designed Baglietto T52, featuring an open beach club spanning two decks and a swimming pool with a changeable-depth floor, and the intriguingly brass-colored Anjelif built by Columbus Yachts . Its bow-located helipad converts to an open-air cinema. An additional 50+ luxury tenders bring the show’s total vessel value to more than $4 billion.

Everything You Need To Know About The Monaco Yacht Show 2023

• October 2, 2023

Over the past three days, the biggest names in international luxury yachting  came together to witness the breathtaking sight of some of the world’s largest and most expensive superyachts gathered in one port. The Monaco Yacht Show took place between September 27 and 30 and attracted a staggering 30,000 visitors to the small country on the French Mediterranean coast. It was surely the most glamorous event in the cruising enthusiasts calendar.

Now in its 32nd edition, this prestigious superyacht show attracts prospective buyers, designers, builders, suppliers, brokers and superyacht enthusiasts from across place in the world. 

New Arrivals

This year’s impressive superyacht lineup – yachts over 80 feet (24 meters) in length – includes the 43-metre electric catamaran “This Is It,” built by Tecnomar – the Italian Ocean Yacht Group, and the superyacht catamaran “The world’s largest sailboat,” Art Explorer – a museum. The boat – capable of holding up to 2,000 people per day – was built at the Italian shipyard Perini Navi. So, being here at the yacht show is quite unique.

A New Found Focus On Sustainability

Another superyacht launched this year is the 52-metre Baglietto T52, the first in the Italian shipyard Baglietto’s T52 series to feature hybrid propulsion, along with the 49.9-metre “No Stress Two,” Rossinavi’s first hybrid boat. Delivered earlier this year, the 60-metre “Entourage,” the second superyacht in yacht manufacturer Amels’ 60 series, is also on display for the first time. Dutch shipbuilder Heesen will display four yachts, Amare II, Aurelia, My Loyalty, and VanTom, at the event, while German shipbuilder Lürssen’s line-up includes the 97-metre “Carinthia VII,” the largest yacht revealed, and “Lady,” which is 91 meters long. “Lara” is for sale for £243.1 million.

Market State

According to the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show Market Report published by SuperYacht Times, there were 5,695 superyachts over 30 meters in length in operation as of mid-August. However, after record sales in 2021, the market is showing signs of slowing down. The report went on to say that new yacht sales were down 34% in early September, while used yacht sales were down about 25%. “While the numbers will improve, market performance will certainly lag 2022, which was a much slower year following the exceptional market peak in 2021,” the report noted.

Meanwhile, data from superyacht market source BOATPro indicates that the brokerage market sees the total value of superyachts sold increase by 20% in 2022, while aggregate asking prices of yachts sold by brokers also decreased. Pizzardini attributed the decline in sales to the “carpe diem mentality” some customers seem to have about having fun on cruise ships during the Covid-19 pandemic.

MY EXPERIENCE AT THE MONACO YACHT SHOW

Magnus A. Frohmann, Danish, and Alain de Ruiter, Dutch, both students in the MSc in Sustainability and Innovation Management program, attended the Monaco Yacht Show a few weeks ago.

The Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) was not just an event; it was a voyage into the future of luxury yachting, and my attendance at MYS2023 was a journey that left an indelible mark on my perception of this industry that I previously knew relatively little about.

Sustainability and Cutting-edge Innovation

With its unwavering commitment to sustainability and cutting-edge innovation, MYS2023 has redefined the very essence of luxury in the yachting world .

One of the highlights of MYS2023 was the return and maturation of the Sustainability Hub—an exhibition area dedicated to showcasing companies specializing in sustainable technologies aimed at reducing the environmental impact of super-yachts . Located in the expansive main exhibition space, this hub served as an incubator for groundbreaking and eco-friendly solutions, one of which was an IUM startup!

Sustainability Hub

This year, the Sustainability Hub continued to bridge the gap between established companies offering tried-and-true sustainable alternatives and budding start-ups with their forward-thinking ideas . The selection process for participants was carried out in collaboration with the Water Revolution Foundation , ensuring that only those with genuine and viable sustainable solutions graced the exhibition floor.

As I explored the Sustainability Hub, I couldn’t help but admire the collective dedication to a greener, more responsible future for the yachting industry.

Gaëlle Tallarida , Managing Director of the MYS, aptly emphasized the show’s commitment to sustainability, underlining how the Monaco Yacht Show has been a trailblazer in raising environmental awareness since its pioneering move to join the Carbon Neutral program in 2005 . I had the pleasure of talking to her after one of the many sustainability panel discussions that were a part of the show. The Sustainability Hub, now in its second year, stands as a testament to the show’s relentless pursuit of eco-friendly alternatives.

The Monaco Yacht Show’s partnership with Siemens Energy was, as the sponsor of the Sustainability Hub, an exciting development. This collaboration offered a unique opportunity for all stakeholders to engage with Siemens Energy and delve into the integration of sustainable energy sources and clean fuels into an exclusive Energy Management and Propulsion System designed for electric and hybrid yachts. It’s an initiative aimed at not just reducing but actively controlling emissions—a bold step towards a responsible and environmentally friendly approach throughout the yachting industry.

Networking Opportunities

Networking opportunities at MYS2023 were as enriching as they were abundant. Engaging with exhibitors, partners, and fellow attendees allowed me to delve deeper into the sustainability initiatives within the yachting industry . Collaborations, discussions, and shared insights with industry leaders left an indelible mark on my perspective.

I got to meet not only amazing individuals (some of whom are IUM alumni) but also learned an immense amount about the target group of the MYS and its high-end luxury clientele.

A Knowledgeable Experience

In conclusion, my experience at the Monaco Yacht Show was not just a testament to luxury but a testament to the industry’s commitment to sustainability . MYS2023 showcased advanced design, sustainability, and cutting-edge technology. It reaffirmed that in an industry as opulent as yachting, embracing sustainability is not just a choice but a collective responsibility—a responsibility that I believe will shape the future of luxury in the yachting world.

The Monaco Yacht Show is a voyage into the future, where innovation, luxury, and sustainability converge . It has left an indelible mark on my journey as a student of Sustainability and Innovation Management, reminding me that the future of luxury lies in the hands of those who are committed to treading a sustainable path.

I am immensely grateful to have been granted access to this show and see it as a huge privilege as one of two ambassadors of the MSc in Sustainability and Innovation Management, which many professionals showed immense interest in.

Billionaires are getting ready for summer with wildly spectacular superyachts

• Superyachts, the most expensive asset  a billionaire can own, are pushing the boundaries of luxury.
• The boats, which cost eight or nine figures, are getting larger and include more features than ever.
• From massage rooms to basketball courts, here's what the world's richest want on board.

For many wealthy boat owners, a private spa is a must-have on board. A sauna is a nice touch. A Jet Ski or two makes days at sea way more fun. And if you don't have someone on board who can whip up a Michelin-star-worthy meal , you might as well stay on land.

In the world of massive yachts , there's no such thing as too much. After all, if someone spends eight or nine figures to design the vessel of their dreams — or at least $500,000 a week to charter one — more is more.

"Yachting. It's not rational; it's emotional," Ralph Dazert, the head of intelligence at SuperYacht Times, told Business Insider at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, where dozens of superyachts — often defined as vessels over 30 meters in length — were on display.

And while there are certain classic features, such as jacuzzis and bars, what superyacht owners want is evolving, insiders at the show said. That might mean more crew members, more space for helicopters, or more water toys, but might also include manicure salons and putting greens.

"The bar of what is the baseline expectation has increased exponentially just over the last four or five years," Anders Kurtén, the CEO of brokerage Fraser Yachts, said. Clients are "spending more time on the boat and really wanting to extend the lifestyle they lead on the shore."

A lot of this can be chalked up to the pandemic. Superyacht purchases and charters spiked as life and luxury travel on land screeched to a halt. While the market has moderated slightly, the number of superyachts on order — 1,166 as of September, according to Boat International's Global Order Book — is still above pre-pandemic norms.

"What the pandemic really showed is that the appetite for being out there at sea, sort of living the marine lifestyle, is still as valid as ever," Kurtén said.

That means there's a lot of money on the water. The total value of the 203 superyachts over 30 meters delivered last year was $6.4 billion, according to data from SuperYacht Times. New custom builds from the world's most prestigious shipyards — Lurssen, Feadship, Oceanco , Benetti — can run into the hundreds of millions. Even used superyachts at the Palm Beach show cost as much as $75 million.

And it's not just traditional buyers like retired wealthy couples looking for a place to relax or celebrities looking for a place to party away from the paparazzi. New clients are often younger and have families, so want areas to work and watch movies . They also want pricey water toys, access to fitness equipment, or even pizza ovens for picky eaters.

"This would've never happened in the nineties," said Giovanna Vitelli, the vice president of the Azimut Benetti Group, the world's biggest producer of superyachts. "You would go with your beautiful woman, Champagne — the idea of yachting was much more showing off with your jacuzzi and things like that."

Pure opulence has made room for function.

When Benetti's Nabila set sail in 1980, its 50-person crew, gold-and-diamond-encrusted interiors, and lavish parties captured headlines and even inspired the Queen song "Kashoggi's Ship."(Seven years later, Donald Trump bought Nabila for $30 million , renaming her the Trump Princess.)

"Life on board was considered very formal — big formal dining rooms, boats were high on the water, you would be segregated from the rest of the world," Vitelli said, remembering another client who insisted on a replica of the Sistine Chapel above the dining table.

But the ostentatious, palatial-like interiors that used to be highlighted in yacht brochures have made way for lists of more functional features .

Rather than esoteric novelties like an extra-large safe for rifles that one builder had to construct per a Russian yacht owner's request , the superyachts on display at the Palm Beach show featured basketball courts, saunas, and ice baths.

Owners want elevators and luxury gyms. Pampering options, be it a massage room, manicure station, or a professional-grade facial machine, are a dime a dozen. Some bathrooms have fancy Toto toilets, which can cost around $20,000.

Sterns (that's the back of the boat) used to be built high to guard guests' privacy. Now, they're built as "beach clubs" — an open swim platform.

And what good is a massage room if no one on board can give one? Many superyachts can hold twice as many crew members as guests, if not more. One broker, representing a boat that didn't have a masseuse, said it could be quite a "tricky" issue because if a charter wants one, they have to find someone who can massage guests and "pull their weight with the crew."

"It's not uncommon to look for a deckhand who can also mix a martini, play an instrument, maybe entertain the guests with singing, and ideally even give a massage," Kurtén said.

Of course, a crew comes at a cost . Most are considered full-time employees, requiring salaries and benefits like health insurance. Captains, first mates, and chief engineers often make six figures a year. That's without tips; a charter guest will typically spend six figures on gratuities for the crew who worked during a weeklong vacation.

For the superrich, there must be room for toys.

It's not just the onboard amenities that count. What's known as "toys" in the industry — water slides, eFoils, Jet Skis, and underwater scuba diving jets — are popular, and costs range from merely hundreds of dollars (banana boats) to millions ( submersibles , which are still popular despite the recent tragedy).

" Tenders and toys, the sky seems to be the limit," Kurtén said. "More is more."

Of course, if you can't fit all those toys in the yacht's storage space, you can just use another boat. Jeff Bezos' support yacht is a superyacht in itself, measuring 75 meters and costing tens of millions of dollars. (His main yacht, Koru , cost a reported $500 million.)

Support yachts are also faster, meaning the crew can get to a destination first and set up the Jet Skis, seapools, and the like, Dazert said. "By the time the owner arrives on the main yacht, everything's set up, and he can go and have fun."

Even tenders, the smaller vessel that brings guests from the ship to the shore, are getting glow-ups. The Nero, a 90-meter beauty available to charter for about $500,000 a week and modeled after J.P. Morgan's 1930s ship, has custom-built tenders to match the design. The most expensive ones often cost seven figures. Nero has three.

"It used to be a tender was a tender," Jeffrey Beneville, who handles yacht insurance at NFP, told BI. "Now they're called limousine tenders. Think of an incredibly luxurious gondola that's got a hard top so nobody's hair gets mussed when they're being dropped off at the Monaco Yacht Club ."

One thing that clearly hasn't changed in superyachting: showing off. If the boat next door at the marina has an indoor-outdoor cinema, it's natural to want one too. Ditto a wine cellar or helipad.

"It's a bit of a celebration of your success in life, of wealth," Vitelli, whose employer is behind the Lana yacht Bill Gates chartered for a birthday party three years ago, said. "You push it a little more."

And that's a boon for yacht makers and brokers catering to the superrich.

"Our job is to make clients' dreams come true," Kurtén said.
