Every September, Monaco becomes the center of the superyacht world. Port Hercule fills with some of the largest and newest yachts on the market, while shipyards, designers, brokers, owners, captains, and industry professionals take over the Principality for four days.
The Monaco Yacht Show 2026 takes place from September 23–26 at Port Hercule, bringing together more than 120 superyachts, 60+ luxury tenders, and many of the leading names in yacht construction, brokerage, design, and technology.
But Monaco Yacht Show week is about more than what is inside the show. Between yacht viewings, there are lunches on the port, dinners around Monte-Carlo, drinks overlooking the harbor, and plenty to explore beyond the docks.
Whether you are coming to buy, sell, charter, build, or simply explore the market, the Denison Yachting team can help you plan your visit, arrange yacht viewings, introduce you to shipyards and designers, and make sure you get the most out of your time in Monaco.
Here is Denison Yachting’s guide to what to see, where to go, and what to know during the Monaco Yacht Show 2026.
Visit Denison Yachting
Denison Yachting will be based at Stand JS16 on Jules Soccal throughout the Monaco Yacht Show, with four yachts on display for 2026:
L.A.U.L, a 130' Extra Yachts built in 2019; GIOIA, a 141' Codecasa delivered in 2024; FLYING DAGGER III, a 163' Rossinavi; and AURELIA, a 122' Heesen available for sale and charter.
Together, they offer four very different perspectives on yacht ownership, from contemporary Italian design and generous exterior living to performance-focused construction and proven northern European engineering.
Our brokers will be on hand throughout the show to welcome you onboard, discuss other yachts on the market, and help arrange viewings across the show. If there is a specific yacht you would like to see, contact one of our brokers in advance and we can coordinate the appointment with the listing broker or shipyard and help structure your schedule around your priorities.

See the Biggest Yachts in the Show
One of the highlights of the Monaco Yacht Show is simply seeing the scale of the yachts gathered in Port Hercule.
Some of the largest superyachts in the world are presented side by side, giving visitors a rare opportunity to compare their proportions, design, exterior spaces, and presence on the water. Even if they are not on your viewing list, it is worth taking time to walk the docks and see them up close.
If one catches your attention, speak to a Denison broker and we can help arrange a viewing or provide more information on the yacht, its availability, and the market around it.
Don't overlook the tenders
With so many large yachts on display, it is easy to walk straight past the smaller boats. More than 60 luxury tenders are expected in the Dockside Area this year, giving visitors a chance to compare guest tenders, chase boats, limousine tenders, and performance craft in one place.
For owners, the right tender can have a major impact on how a yacht is actually used. If you are considering a yacht purchase, **a Denison broker can help you look beyond the yacht itself and consider the complete setup, from tenders and toys to operational requirements and ownership costs
Explore more than finished yachts
Monaco Yacht Show is equally valuable if you are considering a future build or refit.
Spend time visiting the shipyards, naval architects, designers, equipment manufacturers, and specialists around the exhibition. Seeing finished yachts first can also make these meetings much more productive: you quickly learn which layouts, materials, exterior spaces, and design details you actually prefer.
For clients considering a new build, Denison can arrange meetings with shipyards and designers during the show, discuss available build slots and pricing, and help compare different projects before you commit to a particular direction.
Even if you are still at the early stages, Monaco is one of the best places to understand what is possible.
Experience Monaco Beyond the Show
Walk through Monaco-Ville
From Port Hercule, walk up toward the old town of Monaco-Ville. The narrow streets around the Prince's Palace offer a quieter contrast to the show, while the elevated position provides excellent views over Port Hercule and the yachts below.
Start the day at Larvotto
Before heading to the show, enjoy the Riviera's warm September and take a swim at Larvotto. Then sit for a coffee and experience a quieter side of Monaco before the exhibition opens.
Walk around the port after closing
Port Hercule feels completely different in the evening. Once the official show day ends, the yachts light up, receptions begin, and the harbor becomes one of the best places in Monaco for a sunset walk.
