The Monaco Yacht Show returns to Port Hercule from 23 to 26 September 2026. For visitors, the key to a smoother day is planning access, transport and the areas you want to see before arriving at the harbour.
Dates
23–26 September 2026.
Location
Port Hercule, Monaco.
Tickets
Check official ticketing and access conditions in advance.
Transport
Public transport is usually the simplest option during the show.
Choose your day carefully
The show runs across four days, and access conditions can differ by date and ticket type. Review the official programme, opening hours and visitor conditions before buying a ticket so you know which areas are included.
If you are travelling specifically for the event, allow extra time around the harbour and central Monaco.
Buy the correct ticket before arrival
The Monaco Yacht Show uses controlled access and official ticketing. Do not assume that every ticket gives the same level of access to yachts, hospitality areas or specialist zones.
Use the official Monaco Yacht Show channels for the latest prices, ticket categories and entry rules.
Plan your entrance and route through Port Hercule
Port Hercule is large, and the show extends across multiple quays and exhibition areas. Identify your preferred entrance and the sectors you want to visit before you arrive. A simple plan prevents you from spending too much of the day crossing the harbour repeatedly.
Use public transport where possible
Road traffic and parking demand increase significantly during major Monaco events. Train, bus and walking routes are usually more predictable than driving directly to Port Hercule.
Use ViewMonaco’s Getting Around Monaco guide, Monaco Train Station guide and public transport pages to plan your arrival.
Do not expect unrestricted yacht access
Seeing a yacht on display does not necessarily mean visitors can board it freely. Access may depend on the exhibitor, ticket type, appointment or professional status. If a specific yacht matters to your visit, verify the access conditions in advance.
Book restaurants early
The Yacht Show brings a large international audience to Monaco. Restaurants around Port Hercule, La Condamine and Monte-Carlo can become very busy, especially at lunch and dinner.
Use Where to Eat in Monaco to compare areas, then reserve directly where appropriate.
Check official information again before travelling
Opening hours, entrances, transport arrangements and access rules can change as the event approaches. Use the official Monaco Yacht Show website for final operational details and ViewMonaco for local transport, dining and event context.
