The Monaco Yacht Show returns this year for its 32nd edition with a stellar lineup of yachts. The newly refitted 319-foot Carinthia VII and the head-turning 312-foot Kismet are two of the largest yachts confirmed to attend, while this year’s debuts include a dozen-plus new launches that may not be as large as some of the brokerage and charter gigayachts at the show but are still an impressive group in terms of design.

The newbies also seem to be broken out into distinctive colors this year, with the 262-foot scarlet-red Leona being the largest launch at the show, while the 174-foot Jewels , with its sky-blue hull will also stand out. Damen’s Bad Company Support has neon-pink lettering on the side, while Anjelif has a gold exterior, and Grey has a black superstructure and light-gray hull.

The Monaco event is the biggest yachting show to take place throughout Europe and the marquis event in the superyacht world. The organizers have been working hard to promote environmental innovations and educational trends taking place within yachting. The show will have design and innovation hubs, sustainability hub, and an adventure area. Of course, the big stars will be the fleet of 120 superyachts in Port Hercules.

Here are the 10 launches that we will definitely be visiting at the show.

‘Leona’ | Bilgin Yachts

The 262-foot Leona is Bilgin Yachts’s largest delivery to date. Even amid the glamour of Port Hercules, the full custom yacht will be hard to miss, thanks to a bright-scarlet hull that has earned the yacht the nickname “the Red Bullet.” The exterior is designed by Unique Yacht Design, and the interior is by H2 Yacht Design. The largest yacht to debut in Monaco this year, Leona is part of the Bilgin 263 series. It has the same lifting transom and large beach club pool as its sistership Tatiana . Another wow-factor feature includes a pair of Greek statues covered in fiber optics that give the impression of a star-studded night sky.

‘Alchemy’ | Rossinavi

With a design that was developed entirely over Zoom, Rossinavi’s tri-deck 216-foot Alchemy was built for an owner with a penchant for space. The result is more than 3,500 square feet of deck space, which holds large outdoor dining areas mated with dedicated bronzing and socializing areas and an on-deck Jacuzzi. The design employs Philippe Briand’s signature Vitruvius hull, while the contemporary interior was by Enrico Gobbi’s Team for Design.

‘Anjelif’ | Columbus Yachts

The 164-foot Anjelif is defined by its many technical innovations, including hybrid diesel-electric propulsion, an onboard sanitization system for the elimination of airborne viruses, and a touch-and-go helipad at the bow that converts into an open-air cinema. The all-aluminum, four-deck yacht delivered by Italian shipyard Columbus Yachts also boasts a gold exterior by Marco Casali of Too Design. The Italian studio used natural and sustainable materials to define the interior. Amenities include a gym on the main deck, a sauna, and treatment rooms.

‘Jewels’ | Turquoise Yachts

Turquoise Yachts’s 174-foot Jewels , with its sky-blue hull, will no doubt to turn heads wherever it ventures. The exterior design is the result of a first-time collaboration between the Turkish builder and Miami-based DeBasto Design. The interior is by British studio H2 Yacht Design to accommodates 12 guests. The boat, which has 720 gross tonnes of volume, boasts a large sundeck with spa pool, sunpads, bar, and socializing area.

‘Grey’ | Tankoa

Sporting a jet-black superstructure and light-gray hull, the aptly named Grey by Tankoa Yachts enjoys the same Paszkowski-designed profile as its sisterships Kinda and Olokun . But it’s the large glass-sided pool on the foredeck, paired with an outdoor cinema screen and integrated surround-sound speakers, that grab all the attention. A fold-down transom with extended swim platform, a beach club with side sea terraces, and a large sun deck with a second pool complete the 164-foot superyacht package.

‘X-Space’ | Sanlorenzo

X-Space by Sanlorenzo takes the use of onboard glass to a new level. Full-height windows, sliding-glass panes and “glass walls” in the guest cabins fill the interior with natural light. One of the yacht’s five decks is dedicated entirely to the owner, comprising multiple living areas, an office, and large master suite leading directly onto a private terrace at the bow. The exterior features include a 323-square-foot sunbathing deck and a swimming pool. Designed by Zuccon International Project, the 144-foot yacht is one of the Italian yard’s most anticipated launches to date.

‘Fancy’ | Nautor’s Swan

As the first hull in Nautor’s Swan’s 108 series, the 115-foot Fancy is one of a handful of sailing yachts making its world premiere at Monaco this year. Described by the shipyard as “the first in a new generation of Maxi Swans,” and sitting neatly between its Swan 98 and Swan 120 flagship, it mates a carbon hull with a sweeping and uncluttered resin-infused deck. The exterior design is by Micheletti + Partners, with naval architecture by German Frers.  

‘Ace’ | Conrad

The 145-foot yacht Ace built by Conrad Shipyard is the largest superyacht to come out of Poland. Its Reymond Langton exterior is defined by a “rolling wave” superstructure and an 82-foot sundeck with cinema screen and recessed infinity pool. Commissioned by a Swiss owner who requested an interior with an “Italian soul,” the full-custom boat sleeps 10 guests in five suites, with accommodations for a crew of nine. It marks the first hull in the Polish shipyard’s C144S series.

‘ArtExplorer’ | Perini Navi

When Robb Report reported on Frédéric Jousset’s idea for a floating gallery in 2021 , the art enthusiast’s vision was still a dream. Now it’s a 154-foot reality called ArtExplorer , debuting at Monaco this year. Built by Perini Navi to a design by naval architects Axel de Beaufort and Guillaume Verdier, it is the largest aluminum sailing catamaran in the world. Following the museum boat’s premiere at Monaco, it will sail the world, hosting immersive art exhibitions curated in collaboration with the Louvre Museum in Jousset’s bid to “democratize the arts.”

‘Bad Company Support’ | Damen

The 175-foot Bad Company Support is the first hull in Damen Yachting’s YS53 support vessel series. Commissioned by American tech entrepreneur Anthony Hsieh, the support vessel will be the largest boat in the serial yachtsman’s 10-strong fleet of vessels used for sportfishing expeditions and marine conservation. It’s also his first new build. Sporting an attention-grabbing neon pink name on its side, the support vessel has a 5,000 nautical mile range, a 15-ton deck crane, and IMO Tier III-compliant engines.

The most exciting new yachts at the Monaco Yacht Show 2023

The countdown to the Monaco Yacht Show has well and truly begun as shipyards ready their latest launches for the highlight of the superyachting show season. If you're heading to Port Hercule in September, be sure to look out for these fresh-out-of-the-yard yachts making their grand debut...

Builder: Bilgin Length: 80m

With a scarlet hull and “sleek and sexy profile,” according to CEO and founder of Unique Yacht Design Emrecan Özgün, Leona is colloquially referred to as “the Red Bullet”. Her extravagant beach club pool is worth checking out, flanked by Greek statues sitting on water outlets and rigged with overhead fibre optic lights to give the appearance of the night sky. Her sistership is Tatiana , who made her Monaco Yacht Show debut in 2021.

Builder: Golden Yachts Length: 77.7m

With a vertical bow and trapezium-shaped windows, O'Rea carves quite the contemporary profile compared to predecessors O’Pari and O’Ptasia . More than 250 finishes are claimed to have been used throughout her interior, which is the result of a collaboration between Massari and Vafiadis , including polished marble and precious stones. The yacht will also be home to a collection of contemporary artworks, curated by Vasilis Dragnis in collaboration with Anna Chatzinassiou.

Builder: Rossinavi Length: 65.7m

Developed entirely over Zoom, Alchemy features a signature Vitruvius hull designed by French-born, London-based Philippe Briand . The tri-deck superyacht was built to fulfil an owner's brief for large al fresco areas and a strong focus on wellness. The result is over 330 square metres of outdoor space and plenty of amenities, including a jacuzzi and numerous sunpads.

Builder: Amels Length: 60m

Entourage is the second in the series of Amels Limited Edition 60 models designed in collaboration with Espen Øino . While the first hull in the series, Come Together , features distinctive geometric windows, the design team customised Entourage with long strips of glazing that allow additional light into the interior. Another noteworthy design choice is the extended bridge deck and sun deck which, first requested by the owner, will now be implemented in all future builds.

Builder: Sanlorenzo Length: 56.7m

This Monaco debutante is the second hull in the shipyard’s 57Steel series, delivering double the volume of its smaller sibling the 52Steel. She offers 1,000GT across her five decks and her showpiece is a 110-square-metre beach area, created by opening hatches on three sides that, when unfolded, become small beaches on the water’s edge.

Builder: Admiral Length: 55m

Silverstar marks the second hull in Admiral 's S-Force Series, and boasts a unique interior designed by Giorgio Armani and his team – reflected in the refined ivory onyx, cornflower blue marble, and Venetian printed silk. Sharing the same values on al fresco living as its sistership 55-metre Geco , she’s equipped with an open beach club at the stern, a sundeck with a Jacuzzi, and a touch-and-go helipad on the upper deck forward.

Builder: Turquoise Yachts Length: 53m

Miami-based studio DeBasto Design created this yacht’s distinctive sky-blue exterior, marking a first-time collaboration with the Turkish shipyard. “With Jewels’ enormous [720GT] volume, my objective was to make the exterior less bulky and give a feeling of a forward dynamic movement, rather than a static feel,” said designer Luiz DeBasto. The yacht is crowned by a generous sundeck with a spa pool, sunpads, TV, day head, bar and “acres of space”, according to Turquoise.

Baglietto T52

Builder: Baglietto Length: 52m

The flagship of Baglietto's sporty T-Line series, the Italian yard is set to debut its first hybrid T52 model at this year's show, designed by Francesco Paszkowski . She has an impressive range of 7,600 nautical miles and can remain at anchor for up to 10 hours relying on battery power alone. The new yacht reinterprets the classic Baglietto design with a restyled stern and open beach club, spanning two decks and featuring a pool with a changeable-depth floor.

Builder: Columbus Yachts Length: 50m

While Anjelif ’s brassy exteriors are sure to draw the crowd this year, her colouring is far from her only stand-out feature. She also boasts several technical innovations, such as an onboard sanitisation system that incorporates cold plasma for the elimination of airborne viruses and bacteria. An impressive recreational highlight is the touch-and-go helipad on the bow, which can convert to an open-air cinema when not in use.

Eternal Spark

Builder: Bilgin Length: 50m

With entertainment at the core of her design, Eternal Spark can host more than 100 guests quayside across her four decks, with five separate bars and seven distinct social areas. Her Hot Lab interiors feature pinkish quartz and a “light, fresh and sunny” atmosphere – “comparable to a villa on the Côte d’Azur”. The yacht's sunken-level beach club is bound to impress with a sauna, ice fountain, day head and lounge with a wet bar.

Builder: Tankoa Yachts Length: 50m

Retaining the same classic Paszkowski profile as sisterships Kinda and Olokun , Grey sports an appropriately “whisper grey” hull alongside a “jet black” superstructure. She is best known for her larger-than-usual, glass-sided swimming pool which comes alongside a high-definition cinema screen as per the owner’s request. Flanked by sofa seating, the screen also features integrated speakers and a surround-sound system courtesy of British-French brand Focal & Naim.

Builder: Benetti Length: 49.9m

Formerly FB606 and now christened Alunya, the 49.9-metre steel and aluminium yacht is the sixth unit in Benetti ’s B.Now 50M series. She launched less than two months after her sistership Lady I and is fitted with Benetti’s signature ‘Oasis deck’ – where the outdoor living area offers 270-degree views from the stern of the vessel. Large sunpads and a glass-walled infinity pool complete the space.

Builder: ISA Yachts Length: 45m

This semi-custom model stands out with her strong, sporty profile designed by Enrico Gobbi – Team for Design and turquoise and gold Luca Dini interiors. Designed to entertain large parties, UV II is fitted with an extra wide beach club, a custom bar on the sundeck and a €1,000,000 state-of-the-art sound system integrated by Videoworks.

Builder: Conrad Shipyard Length: 44.3m

Poland’s largest superyacht, Ace ’s distinctive “rolling wave” superstructure is a signature of British designer Reymond Langton . Her centrepiece is the 25-metre-long sundeck, made complete with a 2.5-metre cinema screen and recessed infinity pool (so as not to block the view). Fun fact: the pool’s micro-mosaic is courtesy of Nero Sicilia, made with glass recycled from old television and computer screens.

Builder: Sanlorenzo Length: 44m

The X-Space 's “extra private” design was first revealed in 2021, with one of her five decks dedicated entirely to the owner. Featuring an apartment, study, living room and large master cabin, the cabin leads directly onto a private terrace at the bow flanked by a 30-square-metre sunbed area and swimming pool. Another special feature – the yacht is “almost entirely made of glass”, with glass panes and large windows featured throughout and most portholes in cabins replaced with “glass walls”.

Builder: Tecnomar Length: 43.5m

This highly secretive project is expected to make its grand reveal at the Monaco Yacht Show this year. Little is known about it so far.

Builder: Bilgin Yachts Length: 42m

Kaşif, which translates to "explorer" in Turkish, is the first vessel to emerge from its Turkish shipyard's new Antalya facility and was built for a repeat client of the shipyard. She is the ninth collaboration between Bilgin and Unique Yacht Design with interiors by Hot Lab. Preliminary imagery of her fully custom interiors shows curvy architectural lines, a soft-coral colour scheme and 70s-style, curved sofa seating.

White Island

Builder: Aegean Yacht Length: 39.2m

This 261GT, steel and aluminium ketch was developed entirely by the Bodrum-based yard, including the concept, layout, naval architecture, marine engineering, and both the exterior and interior design. White Island' s wide saloon windows allow for airy, bright interiors rarely seen in others of her category.

Builder: Pershing Length: 35.2m

The first hull in the Pershing's sporty GTX116 series was commissioned by a US-based owner who said he had spent “years” looking for the perfect yacht for cruising in Miami. Characterised by a streamlined profile that reflects the GTX116’s sporty capacities, the yacht borrows design cues from the Gran Turismo automotive imagery. Her 39-square-metre beach club is worth calling attention to – connected to the swim platform by an electro-hydraulic taffrail, it creates a waterfront lounge area.

Builder: Nautor Swan Length: 35m

The first Swan 108, named Fancy , is one of a handful of sailing yachts making their worldwide debut at the Monaco Yacht Show this year. Built with a carbon hull and a deck made from epoxy Sprint technology, the model is hailed as the first in a new generation of Maxi Swans and plugs the gap between the Swan 98 and the Swan 120 flagship.

Builder: Cantiere delle Marche Length: 35m

Nuri’ s smaller sister Stellamar may have an aesthetic well-suited to Mediterranean cruising, but under the hood she is a souped-up, world-girdling explorer with an “invisible crane” for toys and tenders and an impressive 5,500-nautical-mile range. She is owned by an architect who helped shape the yacht’s nature-inspired, Francesco Paszkowski interiors – and no doubt advocated for the master cabin’s sauna and hammam.

Builder: Gulf Craft Length: 34.1m

The first unit in the UAE-based shipyard's Majesty 111 series, Sandbank , is set to make her European debut at the Monaco Yacht Show after she was presented to the world in Dubai earlier this year. With exterior and interior by Phathom – marking the studio's first on-the-water project – a highlight of the yacht’s design is its focus on natural light. Gulf Craft claims the Majesty 111 has up to 40 per cent more glazing than yachts of comparable size. This is particularly evident in the owner’s cabin, which sits below a glass-floored dip pool that sends cascades of light into the cabin below. The new model slots between the existing Majesty 100 and Majesty 120 models.

Builder: Arcadia Yachts Length: 29.3m

The first Arcadia A96 is fitted with “environmentally friendly” Waveless Stab40 stabiliser fins and solar panels that allow her to cruise between eight to nine hours in silent mode. Interiors are by Igor Lobanov , with a focus on eco-friendly, natural furnishings and a “multi-flexible” layout that makes full use of its 8.7-metre beam and 400 square metres of usable space.

Builder: Mazu Yachts Length: 28.5m

The Mazu 92DS marks the Turkish shipyard's first foray into steel construction and is the first in a new semi-displacement series which will soon be followed by a 112 DS and 132 DS model. “I think we’ve created something amazing,” said Mazu founder and designer Halit Yukay. “The interior volumes and full-height windows make you feel like you’re on a yacht that is at least 10 metres longer.” Exterior and interior styling are by Red Yacht Design .

Builder: Bolide Yachts Length: 24.9m

Described as a “hyper muscle yacht”, Bolide 8 0 is one of the fastest superyachts in the world – reported to make blistering speeds of around 73 knots during sea trials in mid-April. She’ll mark the first iteration in the Bolide project, made up of a limited fleet of nine models. Hull one is defined by her juxtaposing black and punchy orange palette, reflective of its sporty nature in both aesthetics and aerodynamic performance

Sunreef 80 Eco

Builder:   Sunreef Yachts Length: 23.8m

Custom-built for an experienced family of environmentally-minded yacht owners, Sunreef 80 Eco hails from Polish catamaran specialist Sunreef Yachts . She is the first in a new generation of eco-catamarans, and has been dubbed the “world’s most advanced electric motor yacht” – equipped with batteries that, according to the yard, are 30 per cent lighter than the average batteries used.

Builder: Bluegame Length: 22.7m

Solar-powered multihull BGM75 is the first of a new series of ‘BGM’ multihull yachts from Bluegame. While she may have the appearance of a monohull, she delivers on the benefits of a catamaran – increased stability, large volumes, and reduced fuel consumption. The futuristic yacht is also capable of generating 5kW of green energy thanks to 56 solar panels that can be installed on the deckhouse.

When it comes to sumptuous yacht hospitality, it doesn’t get much better than being on deck of a Super Yacht in Monte Carlo with a glass of Champagne while watching the most famous race in the world.

Heralding the unofficial start of the Mediterranean yachting season, the Monaco Grand Prix brings roaring races, A-lister events and a swell of superyacht titans to the principality each year. The event is one of just two Formula One fixtures on the calendar that can be watched from on board as the yachts moor stern to the track in Port Hercules. Whether you are watching from the sun deck with a glass of rosé in hand or from the comfort of home, keep an eye out for the following yachts in port for the weekend…

Man of Steel  | 86m

Oceanco’s  Man of Steel  (ex Seven Seas) has secured a star seat to soak up the trackside action in Port Hercules, right in the heart of the buzz.  Guests will be able to enjoy the races from the main deck, with its swimming pool and line of sun loungers, or one of the upper decks, where there is a jacuzzi and lounge area. After making headlines as the second-most expensive yacht sale of 2021, this is the first high-profile yachting event that  Man of Steel  is attending since her change of ownership.

Coral Ocean  pictured pre-refit

Coral Ocean  | 72.5m

Fresh from an extensive refit,  Coral Ocean  is also right in the thick of the F1 action. The Lürrsen-built yacht left her refit facilities Palma earlier in the month and the Monaco Grand Prix is her first opportunity to show off her new look, which centres around a change of hull colour, new interiors and a modification on the upper deck. With original design from Jon Bannenberg, the 1994-built yacht is an icon of the yachting world and her fresh appearance is sure to be a big talking point in Monaco.

Grace | 81m

Originally launched as  Kibo  in 2014, Abeking & Rasmussen’s  Grace  is a regular fixture around Monaco, and she’ll be berthed inside Port Hercules for the duration of the F1 Monaco Grand Prix. The yacht’s cascading aft decks offer stacks of space to watch the cars tear around the circuit, and a long list of amenities promises plenty of ways to relax after the Formula One buzz wears off.  Grace  is pictured above, third from the right.

The Wellesley  | 56m

Oceanco’s 56 metre  The Wellesley  is one of the largest charter yachts on the scene for the Monaco Yacht Grand Prix. Listed for charter with TWW Yachts, her interiors follow an elegant, hotel-style theme and she has a number of crowd-pleasing features including a cigar room and waterfall-fed jacuzzi.  Below Deck Mediterranean  fans may know her better by her alias, The Wellington, which was her moniker when she appeared on the hit Bravo show for season 5.

Katina | 60m

Another yacht that’s fresh from a refit and showing off her new look at the Grand Prix is  Katina , a 2015 build from Croatian yard Brodosplit. A charter favourite for many years, this yacht for sale is packed with fun features and features a huge toy box which her guests can take full advantage of after the races wind down. She accommodates up to 12 guests in six cabins and is home to fully-equipped gym and a dedicated massage room. 

Robbie Bobby  | 33m

Tucked right into the sharp turn where the circuit wraps around the harbour,  Robbie Bobby  has a prime spot for her guests to watch the Formula One action unfold. The motor yacht was launched by Dutch yard Lynx in 2013, and she is crowned by a generous sundeck where her guests will have panoramic views across the race circuit and the lively port. To make arrivals in and out of Monaco even easier, the yacht has a conveniently situated tender garage for smooth transfers.

Sirocco | 47m

Berthed just in front of the Nouvelle Chicane, Heesen’s  Sirocco  boasts great seats to watch the Monaco Grand Prix. She is another popular charter yacht that starred in Below Deck and she is well-loved for her exotic interior, which uses a blend of woods and natural materials. An eight-person jacuzzi offers a prime vantage point over the  racetrack, and there’s also a multi-media room on the interior where guests can enjoy the Formula One in a more serene setting. 

Catching plenty of attention in Port Hercule, Palmer Johnson’s gold-hulled  DB9  is the perfect yacht for entertaining over the Formula One weekend. She’s primed for hosting Monaco Grand Prix yacht charters, with three pools, an integrated speaker system and an expansive sundeck that promises an immersive experience from one of the best seats in the house – right in front of Quai-des-États-Unis. With her sharp, sporty look and supercar-inspired name,  DB9  is completely at home at the F1.

Secret  and  Cloud 9  off Monaco

Secret | 82m

One of the yachts bringing the at-anchor action is  Secret , a 2013 build from Abeking & Rasmussen. Her Sam Sorgiovanni exteriors make her instantly recognizable off the Monegasque coast, and as a superyacht for sale she’s sure to be catching the attention of prospective buyers.

Cloud 9  | 89m

Cloud 9  marks one of the largest yacht sales of 2022 so far, and this is her first high-profile appearance under her new name. When she was known as Infinity, the Oceanco build was notoriously private – now it seems she’s spending a little more time in the limelight. She is listed for charter with Burgess and comes complete with expansive lounging spaces, a decadent beauty saloon and a main deck pool that measures almost 18 metres squared.

Lionheart | 90m

In 2016,  Lionheart  was launched by Benetti as the Italian shipyard’s new flagship and is the owner’s third Benetti to bear the same name. The 90-metre motor yacht is no stranger to Monte Carlo, spending most of her time cruising the French and Italian Riviera from her home base in Port Hercules.  Lionheart  has remained secretive in the five years since her launch and is currently berthed at the end of Quai Rainier.

Tatoosh  looking as imposing as ever

Tatoosh | 92m

Tatoosh  joined the sales fleet in 2021 to much excitement, and is currently one of the most recognizable yachts around the waters of Monaco. She was delivered in 2000 by German yard Nobiskrug and is packed from bow to stern with cool amenities, including a waterfront dive center and contraflow swimming pool with a floor that can be raised flush to the deck when drained.
