What you need to know about Monaco Yacht Show 2019
The main annual highlight of the yachting industry, Monaco Yacht Show will take place from 25th to 28th September this year. This year’s edition will offer over 125 superyachts on display, with their average length around 50 metres and the largest vessel measuring 111 metres in LOA.
Part of a significant evolution from the first edition held in 1991, when there were only 32 yachts moored in Port Hercules averaging 31 metres in length, this year 30 units exceed 60 metres, with the value of the whole fleet presented estimated at around EUR 3 billion. What is more, 12 megaychts of over 80 metres will be present at the show, with half of them listed for sale.
Gaëlle Tallarida, General Manager of MYS, commented:

For several consecutive years, the exhibition has been occupying the entire port of Hercule – one of the most advanced superyacht marinas in the world. Unlike the show in Cannes, it does not have any room to expand. Therefore, the organisers focus not on growth, but rather on quality: their main task is to connect the representatives of the yachting business and potential customers, to provide a convenient platform for negotiations and conclusion of transactions.
The opening hours of the show have moved an hour forward this year. MYS will be open to visitors from 11:00 to 19:30. The mornings are reserved for events for the press and business meetings, freeing up the rest of the time for private visits to yachts.
Ahoy Club is delighted to participate in the show – our office can be found on Deck 4 at the Monaco Yacht Club and we would be delighted to welcome you. To make a booking please email concierge@ahoyclub.com
