Port Hercule hosts the Monaco Yacht Show each September

Of the roughly 120 yachts predicted for this year’s Monaco Yacht Show from September 24-27, organisers predicted that “nearly half” – described as a show record – would be unveiled as world premieres.

Feadship’s new 119m Breakthrough, the largest motoryacht launched in the Netherlands, was widely announced over the summer as appearing at this year’s edition, but its appearance has been ruled out following its recent sale by Edmiston.

However, Feadship is exhibiting the new 79.5m Valor, while The Italian Sea Group’s recent deliveries across Port Hercule could include three Admiral superyachts: the 78m aqua-blue Amalya, the Armani-designed GA 72M and the 55m all-aluminium Raja².

The Italian Sea Group’s provisional fleet also included Picchiotti’s new 24m Gentleman’s Yacht and a Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 (20m), the 63-knot speedster popularised by owners including Conor McGregor and which has become a recent staple of the four-day show.

Benetti is hosting the world premiere of the B.Now 67M with Oasis Deck and showing a new B.Now 50M, both models featuring exterior styling by RWD. The B.Now 67M on display is hull two, which features interiors by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and was launched in the spring, soon after hull one’s delivery. New builds also include the 60m O’Madeleine by Greece’s Golden Yachts.

Large brokerage yachts could include the 90m Oceanco Luna (2018), Feadship’s 76.5m Boardwalk (2021) and two Amels builds – the 89m Here Comes The Sun (2017) exhibited by Burgess and Y.Co, and the 77.8m Energy (2022) shown by Burgess and Fraser. Burgess could also be showing the 60m Amels 200 Stella Mi (2021) and 60m Scott Free (2009) built by Abeking & Rasmussen.

Camper & Nicholsons shared an impressive Monaco line-up in late August, topped in size by the 65m Feadship Wedge Too (2002) and the 60m Benetti Vision (2011), which recently completed a refit. The brokerage house’s display also includes the 55m Feadship Somnium (2021), 52m Benetti Solafide (1993), the 40m Sunseeker 131 Berco Voyager (2018), and the 49.9m Mangusta Black Legend (2017) exhibited with Northrop & Johnson.

Outside Port Hercule, Camper & Nicholsons yachts at anchor comprise the 63.5m Benetti Moca (2015), 49.9m All About U (2018) by Ada Yacht Works, 49.9m Mangusta Moka (2011) and 40.6 Baglietto Attitude (2022).

Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of the Monaco Yacht Show, said: “Bringing together a fleet of this calibre every year is a challenge that only the Monaco Yacht Show consistently meets. The 2025 edition cements our global benchmark position, where innovation, exclusivity and sophistication converge, with a record number of superyachts revealed in world premieres.

“Nowhere else in the world can visitors discover, in one place, such an exceptional selection, from the latest builds by renowned shipyards to recently refitted yachts, all rigorously selected by brokers for sale or charter.”
