Monaco Yacht Show 2026: what to see
Oceanco: Leviathan + Draak
The largest yacht at the show is the 111-metre Oceanco Leviathan. She is accompanied by the 92-metre Oceanco Draak (ex-Tranquillity), which serves as Leviathan's tender. We covered the yacht of Oceanco's new owner, tech mogul Gabe Newell, in detail in our July–August 2026 issue. The yacht was designed not only for leisure but also for ocean exploration as part of Newell's Inkfish project. On board there is a full scientific laboratory, a diving centre and a hospital. Diesel-electric propulsion and an optimised hull form minimise noise and vibration. According to Oceanco, this is one of the quietest and most comfortable yachts in the yard's history. The design places emphasis on durable, easy-care materials. This reduces time spent on routine maintenance and makes life easier for the crew. As a mark of respect for the yacht's builders, a glass panel bearing the names of more than 2,000 people who built her has been installed on the main staircase. On the bridge deck there is an advanced games room with 15 powerful gaming stations and two racing simulators.
Turquoise Angelique
The 87-metre Angelique is the new flagship of the Turkish yard. Known previously as Project Vento, she was developed by Turquoise Yachts together with British studio H2 Yacht Design — Angelique became the ninth joint project realised over 17 years of their partnership. The newcomer surpasses the previous flagship Nympheas, delivered by Turquoise Yachts in 2025, by almost 10 metres in length and 404 GT in internal volume — Angelique's gross tonnage is 2,550 GT. Her exterior is memorable for its bright blue hull, painted in the rare shade Tour de France Blue. But the unusual superstructure architecture and the huge glass pool aft also make an impression. The recreation area includes a spa with sauna and hammam, fold-down terraces on both sides, and a swim platform across the full width of the 13.2-metre hull that can serve as a berth for tenders and water toys. For active leisure, the yacht has a panoramic gym, a golf simulator and a basketball court, which also doubles as a touch-and-go helipad. The main deck is occupied by six guest suites (with two VIP cabins that can be combined into a single "Super VIP" if desired), while the owner has a dedicated deck with a private dining terrace, an open-air cinema aft and a bow lounge for breakfasts with a magnificent sea view.
CRN: Amor a Vida + Cerulean
The flagship of the Italian yard CRN at the show is the 68-metre Amor à Vida — a creation of Nuvolari Lenard. With an almost vertical bow and the disciplined graphics of her black-and-white decks, the yacht combines architectural restraint with considered comfort. On board are spacious owner's apartments with panoramic glazing, five guest cabins, a beach club with transforming sides and even an open-air cinema on the upper deck. A hybrid powerplant with two MTU engines and Siemens electric motors provides a range of up to 5,200 nautical miles and full compliance with IMO TIER III. The second debut is the 70-metre Cerulean (Project Thunderball), created in collaboration with Dutch studio Vripack (exterior) and Italian Nauta (interiors). The yacht is designed to accommodate 12 guests, and her silhouette is inspired by sailing vessels. Thunderball receives an energy storage system for silent anchoring and optimised fuel consumption.
Benetti: Dagger 67 B.Now Oasis
Dagger is one of two B.Now Oasis 67 yachts built by Benetti this year. She follows the motor superyacht Iryna, launched in 2025 and the first in the B.Now 67M family. The designer of the entire series, British studio Redman Whiteley Dixon, gives these yachts an innovative aft-space layout — Benetti's signature Oasis Deck: fold-down platforms and an infinity pool let guests enjoy beach-style relaxation right at the water's edge. In addition, the two latest B.Now 67 yachts are fitted with hybrid propulsion. Engines, generators and batteries work in "variable synergy", and the captain can choose the most efficient operating mode for the powerplant depending on the situation.
Heesen Pa'lante
Heesen Yachts is exhibiting the motor yacht M/Y Pa'lante (project YN 21055) in Monaco. The 55-metre vessel, with gross tonnage of about 760 GT, is designed to accommodate 12 guests in 6 cabins. M/Y Pa'lante is based on an efficient steel hull — a platform proven across more than 200 Heesen vessels. During construction the project bears the name Frida — in honour of Frida Kahlo and in keeping with the Scandinavian tradition in which the name symbolises peace. After delivery to her owners, however, the yacht receives a new name — Pa'lante. The exterior is designed by Omega Architects, and the interior by Luca Dini Design and Architecture with the active involvement of lead architect Silvia Margutti, who works closely with Heesen's engineering department. The interior is a contemporary interpretation of maritime heritage: dark woods contrast with light tones, while specially designated areas are given over to a collection of contemporary art.
ARES Simena
For the Antalya yard ARES Yachts, SIMENA is its first step into the over-60-metre segment and its most ambitious project to date. Built from steel with carbon fibre and composites in accordance with RINA Charter Class C requirements, the yacht combines full ocean-going autonomy with refined luxury. The exterior design by Taka Yacht Design is created with an eye on classic ketch silhouettes, but with an emphasis on sailing performance. The result is a project that harmoniously combines traditional proportions with excellent sailing qualities. The interiors, designed by Design Unlimited, organically unite tradition and contemporary solutions. The yacht is equipped with a hybrid propulsion system optimised for efficiency and performance in a wide range of sailing conditions. In electric mode, SIMENA can cruise silently at speeds of up to 8 knots, offering a range of up to 6,000 nautical miles at 7 knots on the electric motor.
Riva 54 Metri + Riva 130 Bellissima
Riva is showing the 54-metre superyacht 54Metri Sairu in Monaco — the largest vessel ever built under the brand. The aluminium yacht, with a beam of 9.18 m and tonnage of up to 500 GT, accommodates ten guests in five cabins, including a master suite on the main deck. Four decks are connected by a lift. The 45 sq m cockpit is complemented by fold-down platforms, the beach club occupies 42.5 sq m, and the sundeck offers more than 100 sq m of open space with a Jacuzzi and dining area. Two MTU 12V2000 M96L engines (1,432 kW each) provide a maximum speed of 18 knots and a range of up to 3,600 nautical miles at 11 knots. The vessel is equipped with four Naiad Dynamics electric stabilisers, Starlink and comprehensive cyber protection. The design is by Officina Italiana Design in collaboration with Ferretti Group. Read a detailed review of this yacht in this same issue of the magazine. She is joined by the 40-metre Riva 130 Bellissima. With a beam of 8 metres, the vessel stands out for its impressive internal volume and sporty yet elegant design. On the main deck is a spacious salon with panoramic glazing and ceiling heights of more than 2 metres. Forward is the owner's cabin, while the lower deck has four guest cabins. The aft area combines a beach club and a cockpit of more than 60 sq m. The yacht is equipped with two MTU engines of 2,638 hp each, reaching a maximum speed of 22.5 knots and a cruising speed of 20 knots.
Custom Line Navetta 50 (02) + Saetta 106
Custom Line Navetta 50 (the second hull in the series) and Saetta 106 embody two poles of Italian yacht artistry from Ferretti Group: absolute comfort for leisurely travel and sporty dynamics for those who want to achieve more in the same time. The flagship Custom Line Navetta 50, 49.9 m long and 9.6 m in beam, is built entirely of aluminium and has tonnage within 499 GT. With a pair of CAT C32 ACERT engines of 1,470 hp each, she reaches a maximum speed of 16 knots and can cover up to 4,500 nautical miles at an economical 10 knots. The yacht is designed for 10–12 guests (5 cabins) and 9 crew. Her key feature is a private master deck with a 180-degree view and a luxurious beach club with an infinity pool aft. The Custom Line Saetta 106 is a fast planing fibreglass superyacht, 32.82 m long and 7.40 m in beam. Thanks to powerful MTU engines (up to 2,638 hp each), the vessel reaches a maximum speed of up to 26 knots (cruising 22–23 knots), with a range of about 1,050 nautical miles at economical speed. With similar passenger capacity (10–12 guests in 5 cabins and 5 crew), the Saetta 106 prioritises speed and sun: guests find more than 220 sq m of open deck space, including a two-level bow lounge and a spacious flybridge.
Amer 42 Explorer
Amer Yachts is making a decisive step into the steel yacht segment with the 42 Explorer, which has been given the telling name Even Further. The yard's first vessel with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure is 41.45 m long, 9.74 m in beam, with a draft of 2.34 m and displacement of 440 t, as well as ice class. The yacht is designed for 10 guests and 9 crew. She is powered by a Volvo Penta IPS40 propulsion system with four D13 IMO III engines. In eco mode, when two engines are running, fuel consumption is just 60 l/h at 9.5 knots — enough to cover 8,900 nautical miles without refuelling. Up to 1,550 rpm, two engines run at 80% load, after which the remaining engines engage. A cruising speed of 14 knots with consumption of 280 l/h gives a range of 2,800 nautical miles; maximum speed is 16.3 knots. Exterior and interiors are by De Basto Design, architecture by Optima Design. Features include a high bow, two 8-tonne cranes integrated into the hull line, and a helipad.
GX42 RPH
GX Superyachts is showing the new GX42 RPH at the Monaco Yacht Show 2026 (25–28 September) — a raised pilothouse version. The project is created by designer Marco Casali (Too Design) with the participation of NAMES by Francesco Rogantin. The 42-metre aluminium yacht is equipped with hybrid propulsion and solar panels of up to 27 kW integrated into the hardtop. Maximum speed is 16 knots, cruising speed 12 knots, and range reaches 11,570 nautical miles at 6 knots.

Sirena 42m
Turkish yard Sirena Superyachts is exhibiting its new 42-metre flagship in Monaco — the largest project in the company's history. The vessel has already been sold directly through Sirena Marine's commercial department, which testifies to high market confidence in the brand. With gross tonnage of about 433 GT, the yacht is designed for long cruises and stands out for its elegance and versatility. The exterior is designed by Luca Vallebona, the interior by Hot Lab, engineering by Eureka, and naval architecture by Van Oossanen Naval Architects. Key features include spacious outdoor deck relaxation areas, a master cabin with a private patio and a capacious beach club with fold-down sides.
Maiora M38
The Maiora yard is presenting the first hull of the new 38-metre M38, with exterior by Quartostile and interior by Acube Design. The vessel, with gross tonnage of 275 GT, is designed to accommodate up to 12 guests in five cabins, and also provides quarters for 6 crew. Propulsion is by two MTU engines, which provide a maximum speed of 24 knots. The yacht combines elegant Italian style, thoughtfully designed spaces for comfortable relaxation and respectable performance.
Arcadia A80
Arcadia Yachts is exhibiting the third hull of the 23.98-metre A80 in Monaco — less than two weeks after the second and following the summer launch of the A96. Three launches in two months underline the intense pace of production, but the significance of the newcomer is not only in the numbers. The yacht is created under the Arcadia Bespoke programme for experienced repeat clients. She retains the architectural identity of the platform but has been fully rethought around the owners' habits, tastes and expectations. Outside, the white hull is complemented by the exclusive shade Azzurro Maine, repeated in exterior details, furniture and interior. Particular attention is paid to the galley: the owner is a restaurant critic and chef, so the space is designed as an important part of life on board, not merely a service area. All appliances are selected individually.
In the salon there is white parquet, leather panels, Italian furniture and an individually chosen palette. In the master cabin there is a custom bed, designer furniture, 1960s vintage mirrors and art objects. Handmade carpets are created specially for the yacht, with patterns inspired by the sea. At the helm station, at the owners' request, a chart table and signal flag locker are installed, reflecting a connection with traditional navigation.
The A80 debuted in 2025 in Cannes. At 23.98 m in length, she offers solutions typical of larger yachts, accommodating 10 guests in five cabins and four crew in two. The main feature is a semi-open upper deck of 80 sq m, the largest in its class. The vessel has a semi-planing hull and is equipped with Volvo Penta IPS engines (1200 or 1350); her cruising speed is about 16–17 knots, maximum 19–20. Solar panels deliver 4.3 kW, reducing dependence on generators.
Sunreef 100 Eco
Sunreef Yachts is showing the first Sunreef 100 Eco catamaran in Monaco — a flagship model with electric propulsion and advanced solar technology. The vessel is equipped with two 360 kW electric motors, a 770 kWh battery bank and a patented solar panel system integrated into the hulls, superstructure and bimini. The yacht is created for long passages and offers spacious cabins, extensive relaxation areas, a huge Ocean Lounge and a capacious garage for water toys.
Zeelander 8 Solea
Dutch yard Zeelander Yachts is presenting its newest yacht Solea in Monaco — the 24-metre Zeelander 8. During sea trials the vessel reaches 40 knots, making it the most powerful and fastest yacht in the line. The project is created for a longstanding client of the brand, who previously owned a Zeelander 7. The interior is focused on hospitality: a large dining table, integrated galley, corner sofa in the aft area. The finishes use rare bog oak and details in the Porsche Agate shade. Propulsion is by four Volvo Penta IPS-1350 engines with a total output of 4,000 hp. Noise level in the salon at full speed does not exceed 65 dBA. Range is 630 nautical miles at 32 knots and up to 2,700 nautical miles in economical mode.
