Almost 80 yachts were confirmed for this year’s Monaco Yacht Show two months ahead of the four-day superyacht spectacle, which will be held from September 27-30. Last year’s show attracted 117 yachts inside Port Hercules and organisers expect a similar figure this year.
The early list of yachts published online by organisers included just under 50 exhibited by shipyards and another 30 or so by brokerage houses, with the latter figure set to increase significantly in the coming months.
As of late July, the line-up is headed by the 97m Lürssen megayacht Carinthia VII and the German builder’s 95m Kismet, the latter exhibited by Cecil Wright & Partners, while fellow brokerage house Edmiston has booked a place for a 90m build.
The 80m Leona by Bilgin – one of three yachts being shown by the Turkish yard – and the 78m O’Rea by Golden Yachts are among new builds, while other 70m-plus yachts include the 83.5m Feadship Savannah, the 75m Kensho by Admiral of The Italian Sea Group, while Fraser has booked a slot for a 70m.
