Monaco Yacht Show 2026, 43 superyachts head to Port Hercule

Monaco Yacht Show publishes the first official list of superyachts confirmed for its 35th edition to be held at Port Hercule from September 23–26, 2026, with the fleet reaching 120 vessels at the opening of the show.

“What this fleet offers to a client does not exist anywhere else in the world,” states Toby Moore, CEO of Informa Prestige, organizer of the Monaco Yacht Show. “In four days and in one port, you can board forty-three yachts delivered this year, alongside the shipyards that built them and the brokers who will handle their charter, management, or resale. At a time when a new order at a leading shipyard involves a wait until 2028, if not beyond, this concentration gathered in one place, once a year — constitutes the first tangible benefit that the show offers to clients.”

Monaco Yacht Show, the 2026 class

Deliveries this year range from the A80 by Arcadia (23.98 m) to the Nixie by Lürssen (102 m), moored at Quai Rainier Ier. Damen Yachting alone delivers two: Pangea (80 m) and QU2 (60 m). Sanlorenzo presents Silver Fox (73.4 m). The average length and tonnage under construction reach record levels, and the construction slots of major shipyards are booked until 2028–2029 — making the yachts delivered in 2026 some of the rarest assets on the market.

The densest segment of the fleet is where semi-custom production meets charter economics, and it is dominated by the 2026 class: B.Now 50M by Benetti (50 m), the new Riva 54 Metri (54.84 m), Mangusta 165 REV by Overmarine (49.9 m), the Fast50 (50 m) and T60 (60.6 m) by Baglietto, 606 by The Italian Sea Group (50 m), Singolare by Tankoa (45 m), Gray Wolf by Mengi Yay (52.4 m), Majesty 145 by Gulf Craft (45.25 m), Even Further by Amer Yachts (41.45 m), Merinos by GX Superyachts (42.05 m) and Sirena Superyacht 42 Metre by Sirena Marine (42.23 m) are all delivered this year. Joining them in this segment are the benchmarks 58Steel by Sanlorenzo (58.25 m, 2024) and Pa’Lante by Heesen (55 m, 2025).

Between 30 and 40 meters, the 2026 class is equally important

AB110 by AB Yachts (33.7 m), Sirena 118 by Sirena Marine (36 m) — the second new entry for 2026 from the shipyard, with the first in the upper range —, M 38 by Maiora (37.1 m) and Lollipop by Moonen (37.4 m) gather around the Appontement Jules Soccal, while Palumbo Superyachts showcases three 2026 deliveries under two brands: Principessa Capricciosa by Columbus Yachts (38 m), Viper 130 by Isa Yachts (38.8 m) and, higher up the range, Sea Raider X by Isa Yachts (66.4 m).

Italian production at the Monaco Yacht Show

Wallywhy200 by Wally (27 m), the double launch of Princess Yachts with X90 (27.11 m) and Y95 (29.1 m), V by AVA Yachts (25.9 m) and A96 (29 m) and A80 (24 m) by Arcadia all showcase the 2026 vintage, while Arksen 85 (27.4 m, 2026) by Wight Shipyard brings to this same segment an ocean explorer capability, confirming that this year’s deliveries cover the entire range of the fleet and not just the upper segments.

Multihulls consolidate their position in the superyacht segment

Two of the four multihulls on display are 2026 deliveries — Ipharra II by Sunreef (29.37 m, 2026) and Eighty 3 by Lagoon (24.97 m, 2026).

Sailing maintains its place, with a fleet of seven sailing boats, four of which are recent deliveries: Simena by Ares Yachts (62 m, 2026) — the largest sailing boat on the confirmed list —, Grand Soleil 80 by Cantiere del Pardo (26.2 m, 2026), Raijin by Nautor Swan (38.98 m, 2026) and Magic by Vitters (44.3 m, 2025).

38 of the confirmed yachts are not presented by the builders but by brokerage and charter companies — a fleet of operational yachts whose launch years span four decades, from the mid-1980s to 2025. In the coming weeks, new yachts will be announced until the completion of the entire fleet of 120 units.
