Monaco Yacht Show 2026, 43 superyachts head to Port Hercule
The Monaco Yacht Show has unveiled the first official list of superyachts confirmed for its 35th edition, taking place at Port Hercule from September 23–26, 2026. By the opening day, the fleet is expected to reach 120 vessels.
“What this fleet offers clients cannot be found anywhere else in the world – said Toby Moore, CEO of Informa Prestige, organizer of the Monaco Yacht Show -Over four days, in a single harbour, visitors will be able to step aboard 43 yachts delivered this year, alongside the shipyards that built them and the brokers responsible for their charter, management or resale. At a time when placing a new order with a leading shipyard often means waiting until 2028—or even later—having this concentration of yachts gathered in one place, once a year, is the first tangible benefit the show provides to clients“.
Monaco Yacht Show, the 2026 class
This year’s deliveries range from the Arcadia’s A80 (23.98 m) to Lürssen Nixie (102 m), which will be berthed along Quai Rainier Ier. Damen Yachting alone is showcasing two new deliveries: Pangea (80 m) and QU2 (60 m), while Sanlorenzo will present Silver Fox (73.4 m).
Average yacht length and gross tonnage continue to reach record levels, while construction slots at the world’s leading shipyards are fully booked through 2028–2029, making yachts delivered in 2026 among the rarest assets currently available on the market.
The largest concentration of the fleet falls within the segment where semi-custom series production meets the charter market, and it is dominated by the Class of 2026. This year’s deliveries include Benetti’s B.Now 50M (50 m), the new Riva 54 Metri (54.84 m), Overmarine’s Mangusta 165 REV (49.9 m), Baglietto’s Fast50 (50 m) and T60 (60.6 m), 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 the Sirena Superyacht 42 Metre by Sirena Marine (42.23 m). Joining them in this size category are two benchmark yachts: Sanlorenzo’s 58Steel (58.25 m, delivered in 2024) and Pa’Lante by Heesen (55 m, delivered in 2025).
The 30 to 40-metre segment is equally well represented by the 2026 Class
The AB110 by AB Yachts (33.7 m), the Sirena 118 by Sirena Marine (36 m) — the Turkish shipyard’s second new launch of 2026, following its larger 42 Metre Superyacht —, the M|38 by Maiora (37.1 m) and Lollipop by Moonen (37.4 m) will be moored around the Appontement Jules Soccal. Meanwhile, Palumbo Superyachts will showcase three 2026 deliveries across two of its brands: Principessa Capricciosa by Columbus Yachts (38 m), Viper 130 by ISA Yachts (38.8 m) and, in the larger segment, Sea Raider X by ISA Yachts (66.4 m).
Italian builders take centre stage at the Monaco Yacht Show
The wallywhy200 by Wally (27 m), Princess Yachts’ twin premieres of the X90 (27.11 m) and Y95 (29.1 m), V by AVA Yachts (25.9 m), and Arcadia’s A96 (29 m) and A80 (24 m) all represent the Class of 2026. Joining them is the Arksen 85 (27.4 m, 2026), built by Wight Shipyard, which brings true long-range explorer capability to this size bracket, demonstrating that this year’s new deliveries span the entire spectrum of the fleet rather than being concentrated solely in the largest superyacht segment.
Multihulls strengthen their position in the superyacht segment
Multihulls continue to gain momentum within the superyacht market. Two of the four multihulls confirmed for the show are 2026 deliveries: Ipharra II by Sunreef (29.37 m) and the Eighty 3 by Lagoon (24.97 m).
Sailing yachts also maintain a strong presence, with seven confirmed entries, including four recent launches: Simena by Ares Yachts (62 m, 2026), the largest sailing yacht currently confirmed for the show; the 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, delivered in 2025).
Of the yachts confirmed so far, 38 are being exhibited by brokerage and charter companies rather than by their builders, representing an operational fleet whose launch dates span four decades, from the mid-1980s to 2025.
Additional yachts will be announced over the coming weeks, completing the full fleet of 120 yachts that will be on display at the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show.
