$4.3 Billion – The conglomerate of luxury sailing boats that equated to that opulent value in 2019. Welcome to the 2021 Monaco Yacht Show…
Monaco is the platinum-plated name that evokes scenes of sun-drenched pleasure where luxury and wealth go hand in hand. Ferraris, poodles sporting emerald collars and Lord’s Such-and-Such that extol the virtues of Cuban cigars – all of this in a place that is smaller than New York City’s Central Park.
The home of the Grand Prix has been shifting gears since the Monaco Yacht Show was launched as a broker orientated event in 1991. This is the most unique and tailor-made visit experience into super yachting, allowing visitors to meet up with leading industry experts and hand-picked luxury manufacturers to discuss their next yacht pursuit.

For the yacht sales and charter markets, 2020 turned out to be a shipshape year, reflecting a hedonistic drive among society’s wealthiest tiers. People want to enjoy life again and get back to basics: human relationships. Therefore, the 2021 Monaco Yacht Show (NYS) is scheduled to from September 22nd until September 25th – this time in a smaller, more intimate format.
Experience the lavish life of luxury by participating in the new Covid approach that is designed to enhance both visitor and exhibitor experiences. The show’s new tailor-made experience will include a three-tiered approach to visitor badges. The “Discover” badge is reserved for yacht clients; their advisors and consultants will wear an “Advise” badge; while trade visitors will wear a “Connect” badge. The new badge system aims to augment the flow of visitors on the quaysides, making it easier for contemporary and existing owners to board yachts and luxury tenders. In essence, making the event more concentrated to tailored luxury sales, the exacerbation of wealth will be exemplified.
The MYS has 125 exorbitant and exceptional superyachts built by the world’s biggest shipbuilders on display each year. In addition to this, 580 major yachting businesses are in attendance to earmark such an occasion. Exclusive launches for ritzy ships will allow those looking to sail high find out about design unveiling innovative devices: this is where ingenuity meets top-of-the-range sailing.
