For four days, Port Hercule becomes the centre of the superyacht world, with some of the largest yachts afloat packed into the harbour, owners and clients moving between appointments, and the industry taking over Monaco from early morning until late into the evening.
For Denison Yachting, the 2026 edition was a week built around exactly that energy: four yachts, a busy brokerage team, standout brand partnerships and one very memorable Thursday night aboard L.A.U.L.
Four Yachts, Four Different Experiences
Denison arrived in Monaco with L.A.U.L, FLYING DAGGER III and GIOIA on display in Port Hercule, while AURELIA welcomed clients at anchor just outside the harbour.
Rather than offering four versions of the same experience, each yacht brought something completely different to the week.
L.A.U.L, the 39.6-metre Extra 130 Alloy, offered the perfect mix of contemporary design and generous outdoor living, while FLYING DAGGER III, the 49.9-metre Rossinavi, brought a sleeker, more performance-driven character to the line-up.
GIOIA, delivered by Codecasa in 2024, stood out with her gunmetal-grey exterior, impressive 499GT volume and virtually as-new condition, while AURELIA, available for sale and charter at anchor, offered a completely different experience with her bold Heesen design, large exterior spaces and 30-knot performance.
A Touch of Baccarat Aboard L.A.U.L
One of the defining elements of Denison’s Monaco week was its partnership with Baccarat.
Throughout the show, Baccarat dressed L.A.U.L with its signature crystal and tableware, transforming the yacht’s dining and entertaining spaces and creating a setting that felt less like a traditional yacht-show display and more like a private residence in Monaco.
The collaboration came to life on Thursday evening, when Denison Yachting and Baccarat hosted an exclusive cocktail party onboard.
As the show began to wind down for the day, L.A.U.L shifted from brokerage yacht to evening venue. Guests gathered across the decks for champagne, conversation and views over a packed Port Hercule as the light faded over Monaco.
It was the kind of evening that captures what makes Monaco Yacht Show different: business during the day, relationships after hours, and some of the world’s most impressive yachts as the backdrop.
Monaco, Denison Style
Getting around Monaco during yacht show week can be an event in itself.
After making its first appearance with Denison at Cannes, the bright Crayford Mini Mojito returned for Monaco and once again became difficult to miss. Compact, playful and perfectly suited to the Riviera, the yellow Mini spent the week moving through the streets around the show and quickly became one of the most recognisable pieces of the Denison presence.
At the other end of the spectrum, Denison partnered with BPM Monaco, with an Aston Martin DBX serving as a VIP courtesy car throughout the week.
The two cars could hardly have been more different, but together they suited Monaco perfectly: one fun and unmistakably Riviera, the other refined, powerful and discreet.
Beyond the Dock
The Denison stand on Jules Soccal became a central meeting point throughout the show, our team spent the week moving between onboard viewings, meetings with shipyards, client appointments, brokerage discussions and events across Monaco.
For an international brokerage team, the show is a rare opportunity to have colleagues, clients and industry partners from different markets all in the same place.
After four intense days of viewings, meetings, tenders, courtesy cars, late evenings and busy docks, Monaco Yacht Show 2026 came to a close exactly as it should: with new conversations started, old relationships strengthened and plenty already being discussed for next year.
