The Monaco Yacht Show is a highlight on the superyacht calendar, attracting the newest and largest superyachts from around the world every year. The show will return to Port Hercule from 25 to 28 September, where more than 120 superyachts will be showcased in the deep waters, with more than 40 superyachts over 50 metres already confirmed.
Since its inception in 1991, the Monaco Yacht Show has become an important event in the yachting industry every year. Every September, it presents Europe's largest superyacht water exhibition in the port of Hercules. In recent years, the show's scope has expanded to a wider ultra-premium market, featuring yacht technology and advancements from luxury car, helicopter and private jet manufacturers. However, superyachts remain the focus of the exhibition. This article shares the largest superyachts moored in ports and anchorages, starting with the largest yachts that come to the Monaco Yacht Show.
Kismet
Length: 122 meters
Manufacturer: Lürssen Yachts (Germany)
This year's headline is also one of the latest yachts to be delivered in the sector. "Kismet" was handed over in May 2024 to her owner, Shahid Khan, who previously owned the 95.2-metre Lürssen yacht "Whisper" (formerly "Kismet"). The interior of this new yacht has once again been designed in collaboration with Reymond Langton Design, but the exterior has been designed by Nuvolari Lenard. She is now one of the most expensive charter yachts in the world, with a staggering €3 million per week for rent. There is no doubt that there is a helipad, beauty salon, indoor and outdoor cinema, dance floor and gym at your fingertips. Accommodating up to 12 guests in eight cabins and offering a variety of entertainment, culinary options and water sports equipment, there is also a Balinese-inspired spa on board.
The boat is chartered by Cecil Wright & Partners.
Renaissance
Length: 111.9 meters
建造商:Freire(西班牙)
It took forty years of experience and imagination, as well as two generations of the Bannenberg design dynasty, to make the "Renaissance" a reality. This superyacht is both the largest private yacht built in Spain and one of the most expensive charter yachts in the world, a remarkable achievement for Freire, a commercial shipyard that has built only one private yacht in the past. According to the brokerage Burgess, the Renaissance has the internal volume of the 7200 GT at its disposal and rises to the challenge with a deck designed for owners and another for wellness, with a sauna, ballet bar and a spacious gym with a list of equipment that will "amaze elite athletes".
The boat is leased by brokerage Burgess for $3 million per week.

H3
Length: 105.3 meters
Builder: Oceanco (Netherlands)
The three-year rebuild of the "H3" began in 2020 and has won international acclaim and the World Superyacht Award. In addition to the hull, almost nothing remained of her previous life as the "Indian Empress", and the hull was extended by another 10 meters. The renovated main salon also added a piano that previously belonged to Elton · John, the one he used when he wrote the album "Songs of the West Coast." The superyacht's facilities are endless, but some of the standout ones include a large swimming pool with a waterfall feature, a large spa and wellness area with a nail salon, and a climate-controlled winter garden in the master suite.

But
Length: 90.1 m

The yacht features specially designed glass that covers 73% of the superstructure, with a face value of approximately 390 square meters, excluding doors and hull windows. Once inside, the result is said to be like floating in mid-air. Standout features include an owner's private deck with private salon and jacuzzi, as well as a wellness area with Turkey, sauna and massage room. She won the Motor Yacht of the Year award at the 2019 World Superyacht Awards, a superyacht that will return to the Monaco Yacht Show after making its debut at the Port of Hercules shortly after delivery.

Manufacturer: SilverYachts (Australia)
Known as the "sport activity boat", the expedition yacht "Bold" was delivered by the Australia shipyard in 2019 and has a striking warship style with a look designed by renowned superyacht designer Espen Øino. The range of 5,000 nautical miles and the reserve of up to five months mean that Bold can certainly cope with going off the grid. With her huge toy vault and open rear deck that serves as a waterside relaxation area, this superyacht is very popular in warm climates. She is a popular charter yacht with a variety of water toys and a huge outdoor entertaining area with a bar and sizzling grill, cinema, an eight-person hot tub and a seating area around the firepit.

Length: 67 meters
制造商:Benetti(意大利)
The United States owner of "Calex" previously owned a series of Westports brand yachts until he decided on a superyacht over 50 meters. Westport couldn't meet the requirements at the time, and after visiting the 61-metre "Diamonds are Forever" on a friend's yacht, it made him realize that he wanted Benetti to build it. The "Calex" is a fully bespoke project with the owner's deck as a distinct highlight, reaching 160 square meters with a bar and a private open-air lounge. The owner also required the quality of materials and furnishings in the crew quarters to be similar to those in the cabins. The exterior of the boat was designed by Giorgio M.

制造商:Benetti(意大利)

The layout is arranged on five decks and includes an "extremely versatile mixed area" with sliding glass walls that can be adapted to the needs of guests, the time of day and weather conditions.

Queen Mavia
Length: 62 meters
Builder: Oceanco (Netherlands)
Delivered in 2001, the Queen Mavia was designed by Evan K. Marshall on the exterior and the interior by Marshall and A Group. Nineteen years later, a refit brought the Netherlands yacht back to life, extending the aft deck by 6 metres to accommodate a beach club, toy warehouse and swim platform, while the second and third decks were also extended to provide more outdoor space. The helicopter deck has also been redesigned to accommodate a hot tub and spa, including a sauna, massage room, and gym.

Other highlights include an indoor and outdoor cinema, a Steinway & Sons grand piano and a wellness space with a gym, sauna and steam shower.

Entourage
Length: 60 meters
Manufacturer: Amels (Netherlands)
Entourage won the Grand Prix this year, winning the BOAT International Design & Innovation Award and the World Superyacht Award Neptune. While the first yacht in the series, "Come Together", features unique geometric windows, the design team custom-made a long glass strip for the second Amels 60 limited edition yacht that allows extra light to enter the interior. Another notable design choice was the extended bridge deck and sundeck, which was first requested by the shipowner and has now been implemented in all subsequent projects. It was this "wonderful evolution" that impressed the judges, who were also impressed by the clever use of space by the Entourage, including its optimised storage space.
The yacht is leased by the brokerage company Moran Yacht &Ship and can be rented from 435,000 euros per week.
