The 2026 edition

Superyachting takes over Port Hercule.

For four days, Port Hercule becomes a concentrated showcase of superyachts, yacht builders, brokers, designers, equipment specialists and luxury services. The official MYS fleet is expected to exceed 120 superyachts, with the Dockside Area also presenting more than 60 luxury tenders.

ViewMonaco brings the event together with the practical side of being in the Principality: how to arrive, which entrance to use, where to eat, where to stay and what to do once the show closes for the day.

The first official 2026 fleet announcement included 43 yachts delivered in 2026, spanning from compact superyachts to the 102-metre NIXIE by Lürssen.
