The Monaco Yacht Show’s in-water displays attract a number of new megayachts each year. Despite construction having waned during the recession, next month’s edition of the Monaco Yacht Show will still have a healthy number of debuts. If you’ll be attending the event, from September 24 to 27, here are some of the projects premiering:
- Flying Dragon, from The Italian Sea Group (formerly known as Admiral Tecnomar); pictured above, she’s one of four yachts the builder will have in the water
- Anastasia K and Illusion I, both from Benetti; both yachts were delivered in the past few months, with Anastasia K standing out, literally, thanks to a glittering paint finish
- Saramour from CRN: the first CRN devoting an entire deck solely to the owners
- Como from Feadship: decidedly modern in style, commissioned by a knowledgeable owner who had a hand in every detail
- WallyKokoNut from Wally: the second Wally Ace model, with abundant alfresco space for a megayacht of “just” 85 feet
- Monaco Wolf and Elena, both from Heesen Yachts: Monaco Wolf belongs to a yachtsman who cruises with a canine companion, while Elena is a home away from home for her owners
- Silver Wind from ISA Yachts: an all-fiberglass yacht with hybrid propulsion
- Perseus³ and Grace E from Perini Navi Group: the former is a sailing yacht, while the latter, pictured above, is a Vitruvius Series motoryacht
- Riva 122 Mythos from Riva: pictured below, the largest Riva to date
- Polaris from Rossinavi: modern-looking outside, lush and luxurious inside, with a stone wall as one eye-catcher
- Wisp from Royal Huisman: a classic-looking sloop penned by Hoek Design
- two unnamed yachts from Amels
- Sunseeker 155 Yacht from Sunseeker: the British builder’s biggest model
- Solandge from Lurssen (an October 2013 delivery, with the rest of the yachts listed here all delivered this year)
In total, 125 vessels—megayachts and tenders alike—will be in the water at the Monaco Yacht Show. To see the full list, visit the Superyachts page on the Monaco Yacht Show website.
Of course, there will be plenty of on-land exhibits as well. Various yacht builders, designers, and gear companies from the same countries often exhibit alongside one another in specially designated areas. The Monaco Yacht Show features New Zealand Street, for example. The Dutch come together in the HISWA Holland Yachting Group area. And, Superyacht UK unites British yachting companies. While the yacht builders in the Superyacht Builders Association (a.k.a. SYBASS) are all from different countries, they, too, exhibit in a group at the Monaco Yacht Show.
