What to Expect at the Monaco Yacht Show 2026

The Monaco Yacht Show is one of the main events for the global superyacht market. The 2026 edition is expected to feature more than 120 superyachts and over 560 exhibitors, including shipyards, yacht brokers, designers, equipment suppliers, luxury brands, and marine service providers.

Visitors can expect yacht launches, brokerage yachts, tenders, water toys, onboard viewings, private meetings, and brand events across Port Hercule. The show also places growing focus on more responsible yachting, with attention on cleaner technology, efficient engineering, alternative fuels, and new approaches to yacht design.

Beyond the exhibition, Monaco hosts private receptions, client dinners, yacht parties, hotel events, and brand activations throughout the week.

Getting to Monaco During the Monaco Yacht Show

The Monaco Yacht Show is one of the busiest weeks of the year on the French Riviera, with increased demand for hotels, yacht berths, restaurants, and transportation throughout Monaco, Nice, and Cannes.

As Monaco does not have a commercial airport, most international visitors arrive via Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE), located approximately 30 kilometres from Port Hercule. During the event period, helicopter transfers from Nice Airport to Monaco Heliport are one of the fastest and most efficient ways to reach Monaco, with flight times of around 7 minutes helping guests avoid heavy Riviera traffic and road delays throughout the show week.

Chauffeured transfers between Nice and Monaco typically take between 30 and 40 minutes depending on traffic conditions, while some guests also arrive via private yacht transfer along the coastline. During Monaco Yacht Show week, helicopter availability, marina access, and transportation services can become increasingly limited, particularly around major evening events and waterfront hospitality gatherings.
