Bentley has announced its new presence alongside Tutto Bene, through a partnership with the automotive culture hub Race Service and the Milanese design studio BorromeodeSilva, debuting with a completely new event in the calendar of Monterey Car Week. Stazione Remota will become an annual gathering. For VIP clients, fans of Tutto Bene, and all enthusiasts, Stazione Remota will represent the latest addition to Bentley’s growing calendar of automotive events, bringing together people united by the same passion to celebrate the world of motors.

On display is the concept Bentayga X – a preview of what an off-road oriented Bentley might look like – alongside a very special Bentayga known as “Joe’s Bentayga,” sparkling in its shades of pink and dark green and equipped with a fully operational Joe & The Juice espresso bar in the trunk.

At Stazione Remota, the new Supersports will also be present – the pinnacle of the Continental range focused on driving – enhanced by the extraordinary “Dragon” livery in Black Crystal and Dragon Red II, blended across the width of the car. The tradition of the Supersports lineage will be represented by one of the 18 original cars from the 1920s: a 1926 model affectionately nicknamed “Smoky”. Modified for racing in 1934 with the installation of a more powerful 4.5-liter engine (replacing the original 3-liter), in addition to being lowered and made more aerodynamic, Smoky raced 40 times in the 1930s driven by the legendary driver Kit Baker-Carr.

As Bentley continues to evolve its role in the world of automotive culture, we are excited to join forces with Tutto Bene and launch our collaboration with a completely new event in Monterey. Bringing cars – and not just Bentleys – together with old friends and new faces, excellent quality coffee, and new conversations is one of the ways we continue to make Bentley increasingly relevant and accessible,” said Ben Whattam, Marketing Director of Bentley.

“Tutto Bene was born from the desire to make automotive culture relevant to younger generations, celebrating our shared love for all things automotive. Our motto is ‘Slow Down to Go Fast’: we propose a friendly, inclusive, and relaxed approach to the classic event formula, where Californian and Italian aesthetics and lifestyles perfectly blend to create something new and universal. It is a great pleasure and an honor to have Bentley as a supporter and partner in this initiative. Few brands embody automotive heritage like Bentley does: over a century of engineering ambition and design innovation, always pushing the boundaries while never losing sight of its roots. This spirit of tireless creativity and goal-oriented focus is exactly what Tutto Bene represents, and we couldn’t ask for a better partner to shape this new chapter of automotive culture,” added Carlo Borromeo of BorromeodeSilva.

Bentley, performance and class

From W.O. Bentley, who founded Bentley Motors in 1919, to the current team of over 4,000 dedicated colleagues, the company’s extraordinary cars have always been designed and crafted by exceptional people using only the finest materials. From its humble beginnings, Bentley has steadily strengthened, driven by an unending pursuit of luxury and performance. W.O.’s vision continues to guide Bentley’s values, actions, and ambitions.

The brand, a symbol of great elegance, is outlining a future driven by new technologies, materials, fuels, and skills, to reach a new progressive world: a context in which the highest levels of luxury mobility are achieved through sustainable methods.

Benetti returns to the Cannes Yachting Festival with three new units, each representing a different philosophy of luxury and lifestyle while maintaining the fil rouge of the shipyard’s identity, performance, and high naval craftsmanship. Three works of art with distinct souls to highlight the recent evolutions that Benetti is pursuing both in design and in technological innovation applied to propulsion and power management. 

Benetti Oasis 34M M/Y Aitana

A work of art on the sea, where sculptures, art collections, and custom-made furnishings transform the interiors into an aesthetic experience through the identity of the owner that expresses the excellence of Benetti in creating unique and personalized projects. This vision arises from the meeting of the exteriors designed by RWD, the interiors designed by Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture, and the contribution of designer Ana Torres who, along with the Benetti Interior Design team, has curated the styling of the spaces making M/Y Aitana a unique piece of the Oasis family.

Benetti OASIS 40M M/Y “LADY SARAH”

M/Y Lady Sarah interprets a contemporary elegance made of harmony and welcome. The dialogue between the exteriors designed by RWD, the interiors of Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture, and the décor of Leonardo Santi Design, brings to life environments that engage in an extraordinary atmosphere. Every essence and every selected marble contribute to creating a unique universe. Tailor-made solutions, such as the bar cabinet on the Main Deck with laminated glass and integrated fabric, reflect Benetti’s bespoke approach to design. 

B.YOND 37M M/Y “JULES” 

M/Y Jules represents the DNA of Voyager Benetti, offering the owner the freedom to experience the sea without limits and embodies the idea of more efficient and conscious navigation. Born from the vision of Paolo Vitelli and designed by Stefano Righini, through a modular architecture, it offers multiple configuration possibilities. M/Y Jules stands out for the owner’s suite on the Upper Deck, which transforms the entire deck into a private area dedicated to the owner, representing one of the most distinctive features of the B.Yond. family. Designed to offer the owner maximum freedom of navigation for long cruises, becoming the place where experiences destined to last over time take shape. 

From September 8 to 13, Oasis 34M M/Y Aitana, Oasis 40M M/Y Lady Sarah, and B.Yond 37M M/Y Jules will be present at the first event of the season. An artistic dimension for Oasis 34M, contemporary elegance for the Oasis 40M, and a voyager philosophy for the B.Yond 37M.

Designer Gallery, a redesigned exhibition space that joins the previous Yacht Design & Innovation Hub creating a single platform to offer visitors the opportunity to interact directly with the key players shaping the future of yachting through new horizons.

The Designer Gallery represents much more than just a name change, but a true change in direction in its setup and format. By bringing all designers onto a single platform, the Monaco Yacht Show has created a space where visitors can seamlessly explore cutting-edge concepts and engage in technical conversations with the designers themselves. A true laboratory where art, design, and the future merge through a complex platform that, transversely, combines knowledge and experience.

Designer Gallery a new dimension

Near the Designer Gallery, the MYS Immersive Experience by VBH will take visitors on a journey into the future of yachting. An interactive 3D experience, developed in collaboration with the designers and participating shipyards, allows guests to board virtual yacht projects and see their lines come to life.

Design has always been a fundamental pillar of the Monaco Yacht Show and we have continuously evolved to give it the prominence it deserves,” said Toby Moore, CEO of Informa Prestige. “This year we redesigned the Designer Gallery with a broad unified platform, partly set up on the rocks of the harbor, to offer visitors a seamless and exclusive experience. By bringing designers closer to the superyacht and tender docks in the Dockside area, and enhancing the quality of the exhibition facilities, we ensure that both the creative process and the final projects are showcased in the best possible context.”

The Designer Gallery will host an exceptional selection of world-renowned designers offering a glimpse into the future of naval architecture:

Feadship Resale has successfully completed the sale of Graycliffs (formerly Moon Sand Too), a 33.50-meter yacht, to an American owner. The yacht was offered through a Joint Central Listing by Feadship Resale and Edmiston, with the buyer and seller being connected by Hannah Wolstenholme, who represented the buyer throughout the transaction.

Earlier this year, the owner had purchased another Feadship through Feadship Resale. With the sale of Graycliffs, the transition from one Feadship to another is now complete.

“Buying or selling a Feadship is rarely a standalone operation,” says Arjen van Elk of Feadship Resale. “It often forms part of a much longer relationship. Owners appreciate working with people who already know their yachts, understand the market, and know how to highlight what makes each Feadship unique. Seeing owners return to Feadship Resale as their needs evolve is something we are incredibly proud of, and we are grateful for the continued trust they place in our team.“

Graycliffs is the third Feadship sold through Feadship Resale in 2026, following the successful sales of Somnium and Samadhi. The ongoing activity reflects sustained demand for Feadship and reinforces the position of Feadship Resale as a specialist dedicated exclusively to the brokerage of Feadship vessels.

Feadship Resale will continue this momentum at the Monaco Yacht Show, where the team will showcase a selection of Feadship currently available for sale and welcome owners and potential buyers seeking expert advice for purchasing or selling a Feadship. The official resale service of Feadship has been created to support owners throughout the lifecycle of their yacht, leveraging experience and established relationships with owners, combining unparalleled knowledge of each Feadship with direct access to original archives, designers, engineers, and craftsmen of the shipyard.

Arcadia Yachts will participate in the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 with four models from its two main lines: A80 and A96 for the A range, along with Sherpa 60 and Sherpa 80 for the Sherpa range.

At the center of the shipyard’s presence in Cannes is the Arcadian Living, a design idea that redefines nautical luxury in a more conscious way, with life on board developing in open spaces towards the landscape and the sea. Since its origins, the shipyard has always stood out for new perspectives that have given rise to a new design dimension.

A new exhibition concept

Arcadia Yachts will participate in the event by setting up a new, larger, and immersive stand on land. Designed as a multisensory installation, the space has been conceived and designed to welcome owners, clients, dealers, partners, and press, to experience the direct essence of the philosophy “Arcadian Living“.

Arcadia Yachts, the four protagonists of the fleet

A80, an iconic model designed to ensure the perfect balance between spacious living areas, marine environment protection, and maximum navigation freedom.

A96, next-generation crossover, the contact with the sea is immediate thanks to fluid and barrier-free internal and external spaces.

Sherpa 60 Pocket-mega yacht extremely versatile, with absolutely unique spaces, designed to offer excellent livability on board and ample social areas both while sailing and at anchor with a garage of about 23,000 L under the main deck.

Sherpa 80 The evolution of the pocket-mega yacht concept, offers about 221 square meters of living space between internal and external environments for extended cruises in maximum comfort, for day parties or long cruises.

Arcadia Yachts presents a true “poker” of boats that will enchant the many visitors expected at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026.

The Future of Refit will be the first event dedicated entirely to refit. Conceived by Informa Prestige, specialized in B2B events, which, with a key partner of the initiative, Yacht Club de Monaco, the event will showcase refit yachts in the water. It will take place at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco from March 31 to April 2, 2027, strengthening Monaco‘s position as a global platform for advanced, responsible, and future-oriented yachting.

The Yacht Club de Monaco has extensive experience in launching strategic initiatives that shape the future of the superyacht industry, including:

• The SEA Index® — the international benchmark for assessing and reducing the carbon footprint of yachts.
• The Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (14th edition: from June 29 – July 3, 2027), the leading international event dedicated to emerging maritime technologies.

The Future of Refit will fit seamlessly into the framework of its latest initiative, « Monaco, Capital of Advanced Yachting », which brings together key players in the sector to address the major challenges of the yachting industry: from innovation to modernization, through performance and sustainability.

For Informa Prestige, owner and organizer of premier global superyacht event (the Monaco Yacht Show), The Future of Refit represents the first professional platform exclusively dedicated to a sector of enormous commercial importance and rapid growth.

The Future of Refit, content and relevance

The refit sector is becoming growing in strategic importance and it is estimated that its annual growth is between 6% and 9% and represents 36% of the revenues of the superyacht industry. There are about 6,000 active superyachts over 30 meters, a significant portion is now entering its second lifecycle after the boom recorded in the 2000s and 2010s.

It is estimated that generally the maintenance of a superyacht is 10% of its value and that every 5/10 years major refit work is scheduled, making refit a highly significant segment for industry operators; new environmental regulations, changing charter market demands, and the limited availability of new builds at leading shipyards are the elements that consolidate the role of refit as an essential and recurring component of a yacht’s life.

The Future of Refit will take place at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco over three days. The event will combine an interactive conference program and a professional exhibition with a water presentation of yachts undergoing refit at the marina of the Yacht Club de Monaco.

Toby Moore, Chief Executive Officer of Informa Prestige

«Refit is no longer a secondary consideration in the superyacht industry: it has become one of its fundamental economic realities. Owners, operators, and specialists who animate this market have had to, for too long, conduct their most important professional discussions on the sidelines of events designed for other purposes. The Future of Refit directly addresses this unmet need, bringing the entire ecosystem of the sector together around a dedicated program that covers refit, renovation, and modernization in all their dimensions. In particular with Refit Live, an interactive masterclass on design that puts creative and technical disciplines at the center of the debate. It is the right conversation, in the right place, and at the right time — in Monaco, in spring, during a period of the calendar free from any competition.»

The Future of Refit will maintain ongoing discussions with shipyards, industry associations, equipment suppliers, and refit specialists to ensure that the event effectively addresses the long-term interests of the sector.

Besnati inaugurates a new path in the world of luxury tenders, set to expand in the coming years with models of various sizes, aiming to offer boats capable of combining Italian design, high performance, and maximum customization.

Davide Besnati, after presenting the first prototypes in Dusseldorf, decided to showcase his new Hurlo 325 at the Cannes Yachting Festival, his latest project equipped with the new Belassi Turbo engine with 330 horsepower that allows it to reach 60 knots.

Besnati, statements from the founder

“Hurlo 325 is the result of an evolutionary path born from the prototypes presented at the boot and refined thanks to feedback collected from owners and dealers in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. In the months following the boot, we worked to transform that interest into an even more mature product, addressing every technical detail until we reached the configuration that we now consider ideal. From Düsseldorf to Cannes, Hurlo 325 is therefore the result of a development path driven by the market. Regarding propulsion, we identified the Austrian brand Belassi as the ideal partner, specialized in high-performance marine engines. We then reviewed every technical aspect, starting with a restyling of the hulls, designed to adapt to the needs of the most diverse yachts, by type and shipyard. A new driver’s seat and a Formula 1-inspired steering wheel, both made of carbon, an innovative damping system, and a new 12.5-inch floating touch screen that integrates all onboard home automation have also been introduced,” says Davide Besnati, head and founder of the brand.

This first model of the range represents the progenitor of a project aimed at creating a new type of tender, compact yet functional, capable of transforming every outing at sea into an engaging experience; all this through great attention to design, construction quality, but above all to customization.

“This range derives from my personal experience as an owner: over the years I have had several boats, all equipped with tenders and toys, and I felt the need to bring greater attention to design, customization, and the pleasure of use in this segment as well. We wanted to create a product capable of uniting the design elegance of yachts with the emotions typical of more sporty vessels,” explains the founder of the brand. 

Hurlo 325, making its world debut at Cannes 2026, was designed by engineer Valerio Rivellini, inspired by the automotive world, go-karts, and jet skis, to create a maneuverable tender that is also fast, capable of delivering pure pleasure during its use.

The new version of the Belassi Turbo engine with 330 hp powers this tender; high standards of comfort and safety are guaranteed alongside acceleration and great speed, responsiveness, control, and ease of handling. Agility and performance are also ensured by the dimensions (length 3.25m – width 1.78m), making it the natural complement of a yacht but also capable of offering excitement and fun as a recreational unit.

Another distinctive element of these luxury tenders is the extreme customization by the owner, through a wide choice of materials, finishes, and colors; a true bespoke approach that allows the market to offer a unique product, in the owner’s style.

Besnati will be at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 at stand 008, Palais des Festivals

Four thousand nautical miles at 10 knots: this is the declared range autonomy for the new Sirena Superyachts 42M, the largest model ever built by the Turkish shipyard. A value that expresses the long-distance vocation of the Superyachts, defined by Sirena Marine as “explorer inspired“.

The world debut is scheduled for the Monaco Yacht Show, taking place from September 23 to 26, 2026, but at the time of the launch Sirena Marine had already sold the first unit through its internal sales team. The yacht is now entering the final phase of outfitting in preparation for the presentation in Monaco.

Announced in 2022, the Sirena Superyachts range also includes the 35M and 50M projects. The 42M is the first of the three to be launched, allowing for a concrete observation of the approach chosen by the shipyard for the new segment.

Sirena Superyachts 42M: dimensions and design

The data published by Sirena Marine help to define its dimensions and vocation: the 42M has a maximum beam of 8.8 meters and a gross tonnage of 433 GT: numbers that reflect the scale of the project and anticipate the spaciousness of the onboard areas.

The naval architecture has been entrusted to Van Oossanen Naval Architects, with detailed engineering by Eureka Yachts, while the exterior design was handled by Luca Vallebona and the interiors by Hot Lab, part of The Viken Group. The hull is made of steel and the superstructure of aluminum.

From the owner’s patio to the beach club

Among the defining elements of the layout is the private foredeck patio, directly connected to the owner’s suite. At the stern, the beach club uses foldable sides to expand the available space and the relationship with the sea. The configuration can be further customized with elements dedicated to leisure and relaxation.

The internal layout includes five cabins for the owner and guests, with a total capacity of up to 10+2 people, while another five cabins are reserved for a crew of up to nine members.

«The 42M is much more than our flagship», said Çağın Genç, CEO of Sirena Marine. «It represents the beginning of a new era for Sirena Superyachts and demonstrates our ability to design and build superyachts that combine quality and long-range navigation. We look forward to unveiling the Sirena Superyachts 42M to the world during the Monaco Yacht Show».

BRABUS ULTIMA 55, a high-performance luxury catamaran measuring 55 feet that combines cutting-edge naval architecture with the unmistakable stylistic DNA of BRABUS, exclusive and seductive born from the collaboration of two brands that represent a benchmark for design and boldness, Sunreef Yachts and Brabus.

BRABUS’s exterior design in carbon fiber defines the powerful catamaran of 55 feet (17 m) that combines two six-cylinder engines of 533 kW / 725 HP with an advanced hydrofoil system, reaching a maximum speed of over 40 knots, developed to drastically reduce hydrodynamic resistance, improve stability, and ensure a smooth ride.

BRABUS 55 ULTIMA, performance and stability

With BRABUS ULTIMA 55, Sunreef Yachts and BRABUS unveil the first fruit of their collaboration in the luxury catamaran sector.

“The BRABUS ULTIMA 55 is fast, bold, and truly unique. The moment it lifts off the water, you immediately feel the difference. The ride becomes smoother, quieter, and incredibly enjoyable. It’s a yacht that allows you to leave everyday life behind and fully experience every moment at sea,” said Francis Lapp, Founder and CEO of Sunreef Yachts.

“Together with Sunreef Yachts, we are expanding our Marine portfolio into a completely new category, with a product that has an unmistakably BRABUS identity,” explained Constantin Buschmann, CEO and owner of BRABUS. “We asked ourselves how a modern high-performance luxury catamaran should look and what it should feel like. The BRABUS ULTIMA 55 is our answer: a design with a strong identity, real performance, uncompromising quality, and what we call the One Second Wow.“

The advanced hydrofoil system generates lift below the surface, raising the two hulls above the water, reducing resistance while improving efficiency, stability, and onboard comfort. Visible structural and aesthetic carbon fiber inserts, signature liveries (Graphite Black or Phantom Grey), aerodynamic wings, integrated LED roof lights, and details with illuminated BRABUS logos are some of the elements that represent this revolutionary vessel capable of combining the livability and stability typical of a multihull with the agility, dynamism, and speeds of a sports yacht.

Brabus Ultima55, supercar soul

A sporty soul but also designed to be versatile, foldable sidewalls that increase the beam from 5.6 meters to 7.6 meters, creating a truly spacious beach area, durable, elegant, and non-slip surfaces for maximum safety in all conditions, a large central sunbathing area, and high-quality finishes are some of the elements that characterize this limited edition of the sea.

Two internal layouts, the Owner which includes an owner’s suite, a VIP cabin, and a crew cabin, and the Family with three guest cabins and a crew cabin. The salon’s seats and sofas are upholstered in BRABUS Masterpiece leather in Moonstone with the iconic honeycomb stitching Triangle. The ceiling is finished in Alcantara, while visible carbon fiber and aluminum inserts with illuminated logos enhance the floors and finishes, and the acoustics are entrusted to a premium audio system Bowers & Wilkins Marine Series.

Toby Moore, CEO of Informa Prestige and Managing Director of the Monaco Yacht Show, before taking on this role, Toby Moore worked for nearly 8 years at Boat International Media (where he was first Chief Commercial Officer and then CEO), which is why he knows the Monaco Yacht Show very well “from the outside” and has followed its dynamics long before taking over its operational reins.

What are the key factors that explain the success of the Monaco Yacht Show?

“This is my first year leading the show, but I have been observing it closely for years and I believe that this prolonged external perspective has taught me something useful: the first success factor of the MYS is Monaco. Port Hercule allows us to gather a fleet of this magnitude in deep waters, at the center of a place where owners and future owners live, work, and transit. This combination does not exist anywhere else, and we are not its authors, we are its guardians. My responsibility, coming here, is not to reinvent this aspect, but to make it something increasingly useful for the sector.” continues Toby Moore, “The second factor is a choice that the show has been making for a long time and that I embrace: quality over volume. The success of a show is not measured by the number of visitors, but by the quality of the conversations it enables. A shipyard exhibiting in Monaco is not looking for traffic; it seeks to meet the few people in the world capable of ordering a 60-meter yacht. Everything we build — the VIP program, access conditions, the very organization of the docks — serves this goal. Then there is the timing. At the end of September, the Mediterranean season comes to an end, the yachts are still there, the owners too, and it is the moment when decisions for the following year are prepared. The show arrives at the exact moment when the market is projecting into the future.“

“Finally, and this is what struck me the most in all these years of following the show from the outside: the MYS has become the event where the entire industry gathers in full strength. Shipyards, brokers, designers, equipment manufacturers, media — the entire ecosystem is there, at the same time, in the same place. This creates a density of networking that no other format can reproduce. My task is not to take credit for it, but to live up to what this community expects from the show, year after year.”

Organizing such an event in just four days must represent a significant logistical challenge. How do you manage it?

“It is indeed a colossal challenge — I willingly speak of “millimeter” logistics. Organizing an event of this scale in the confined context of Port Hercule requires absolute precision. Space, first of all: transforming a confined perimeter into a temporary village of 16,000 m² requires rigorous planning, studied months in advance. Time, then: we must coordinate the arrival of 450 trucks and the positioning of 180 units — between yachts and tenders — in less than 25 days.“, continues Toby Moore

“Behind these numbers is a team of 20 people who work all year round. And what strikes me is that logistics is only part of their mission: the same team manages relationships with our exhibitors and guests, as well as the marketing and communication of the show. This versatility is not a coincidence — it is precisely what ensures consistency between what we promise and what we deliver on the docks.

And there is no margin for error. The port occupation lasts exactly 40 days, during which we must preserve the functionality of the Principality for its residents, while also offering our guests an experience that meets their expectations in Monaco.“

There is an evolution towards adventure and sustainability in the industry. How does the Monaco Yacht Show reflect these new trends?

“Absolutely. The MYS reflects the shift from ostentation to a philosophy of use rather than appearance — what we define as purpose over presence. The rise of exploration is extraordinary. Owners now want to go somewhere rather than be seen somewhere. This translates into the growth of expedition yachts and pocket explorers, compact yet robust units designed for cruising off the classic routes, towards the Arctic or isolated archipelagos. We have created the Adventure Area, a dedicated space that groups custom tenders, nautical equipment, and vehicles that directly respond to this thirst for experiences.“

“We are also observing the emergence of a new profile of buyer. The clientele is younger — the average age has dropped to around 50 years — and this generation demands total transparency regarding environmental impact. Sustainability is no longer a sales pitch, it is a prerequisite. This is the meaning of our Blue Wake program: to reward measurable results, not mere intentions. We do not decree the environmental transition — we highlight those who are making it advance concretely.“

In this regard, how does the Monaco Yacht Show lead the industry towards greater environmental responsibility?

“Our role is to prioritize rigor over rhetoric. We launched the Blue Wake™ program in partnership with the Water Revolution Foundation. This program scientifically validates sustainable solutions, such as hybrid propulsion or bio-sourced materials. No solution is presented without independent technical proof, such as YETI scores or life cycle analyses. We adopt a global view of the life cycle. In 2026, Blue Wake™ will extend to brokerage and management, as the sustainability of a yacht depends on its 20-30 years of operation, not just its construction.“

“The show also functions as an innovation laboratory. We highlight technologies such as green methanol propulsion or hydrogen, thus positioning yachting as a pioneer for other maritime sectors.“

In conclusion, how does Toby Moore see the future of superyachts and the Monaco Yacht Show in three years?

“What strikes me is that this future does not belong to the realm of the prospective: it is already being built, today, on the docks of Port Hercule. In three years, the Monaco Yacht Show will continue to evolve towards an integrated luxury ecosystem under the aegis of Informa Prestige, breaking down barriers between the yachting sectors, art with Art Monte-Carlo, and automobiles with Top Marques. I see this future taking shape along three axes — and each already has its foundations:

First, invisible technology. Artificial intelligence and connectivity will become a basic infrastructure, optimizing navigation and maintenance without distracting the owner from their experience. Yachts that embody this approach are already on display in Monaco; in three years, this will simply have become the norm.

Second, quiet luxury. We will see a more personal, minimalist, and authentic aesthetic, where the yacht is a private sanctuary and a cultural project rather than a trophy. We are accompanying this evolution right now: the Designer Gallery and the Immersive Experience exist precisely because owners want to shape a project that resembles them, not purchase a symbol. And sustainability is part of it — what the Blue Wake Awards reward today as pioneering achievements will, in three years, be a basic market requirement.

Third, an amplified human experience. It is perhaps the most interesting paradox: the more technology advances, the more valuable physical meetings and shared emotions in Monaco will become. The show will become an even more fluid and discreet environment, where every minute will serve the decision-making process and discovery.

Ultimately, our role will not change: to offer every year, in four days, the place where the industry can see its future. The difference, in three years, is that what we show today as a trend will have become a certainty.“

We thank Toby Moore for granting this interview to Superyachtoday. His reflections on the future of the Monaco Yacht Show, the push towards sustainability with the Blue Wake™ program, and the evolution of the owner experience offer a valuable and stimulating insight for the entire industry.

RMK Yachts has announced the appointment of Sotiris Konstantakis from Fraser Yachts and Robert Lander from Moravia Yachting as joint central agents for the LIVIA series. Both brokers have enthusiastically embraced the project from the start and are now working on the international commercial development of future LIVIA series sister ships.

Working alongside RMK Yachts and Red Yacht Design, Fraser and Moravia will present the LIVIA series to owners seeking a contemporary semi-custom motor yacht that combines distinctive design, proven engineering, and exceptional long-term value.

Cuneyt Okcu, Director of RMK Yachts, stated: “From our very first conversations, Fraser and Moravia immediately understood the philosophy behind LIVIA. They recognized that this is not just another 50-meter motor yacht, but part of a long-term vision aimed at creating product families capable of offering genuinely different lifestyles and experiences. Their knowledge of this market, combined with an appreciation for refined design, quality craftsmanship, and long-term value for the owner, makes them the ideal partners for the next phase of the project.”

“At RMK Yachts, we are not building isolated projects”, Okcu adds. “We are creating a carefully curated portfolio where each platform has its own identity, while benefiting from the engineering security, production capacity, and craftsmanship of one of Turkey’s most established shipyards. We believe this approach will redefine expectations within the semi-custom segment.”

The world of river cruising enters a new dimension with Trascend Connect, the ambitious project developed by Tillberg Division of Sweden (TdoS), the Swedish studio part of the Viken Group specialized in the design of superyachts and cruise ships.

Transcend Connect: a floating boutique hotel

Transcend Connect is an innovative river cruiser of 135 meters designed for the company Transcend Cruises with a clear goal: to elevate the river cruise experience to a higher level, combining flexibility, customization, and top-notch hospitality.

Primarily designed for private charters and corporate events, Trascend Connect boasts one of the highest crew-to-guest ratios in the category: well 120 guests assisted by 54 crew members.

The sleeping area features 60 cabins spread over two dedicated decks. Thanks to an extremely versatile configuration, the cabins can be combined in pairs to transform into 30 luxurious two-room suites, thus adapting the offering to the needs of each owner or organizer.

All environments express a stylistic language that, far from the traditional aesthetics of river vessels, favors the use of natural materials such as fine woods, textured stones, soft fabrics, and metals in warm tones.

“Our goal was not to give the feeling of being on a ship – explains Anna Silvesjö, CEO of Viken Group – We wanted guests to perceive the spaces as those of a modern boutique hotel or a private yacht that simply navigates along the European rivers.”

The large glass surfaces help amplify the spaciousness of the interiors along with the connection to the river landscape, transforming the scenery into an integral part of the onboard experience.

Between flexibility and sustainability

Transcend Connect has been conceived as a dynamic superyacht, where every environment can transform according to the needs of its passengers. For example, restaurants can turn into conference rooms, lounges become meeting spaces, private dining rooms host meetings, and cabins transform into true luxury suites. At the center of the ship is the Forum, a real two-level amphitheater that can host presentations, shows, briefings, and private events.

On the upper deck, there are no shortages of leisure spaces: panoramic lounge, grill, outdoor cinema, walking path, yoga area, spa, sauna with a view of the river, gym, library, wine vault, chef’s table, bar, and numerous private lounges.

On the propulsion front, Transcend Connect will be equipped with low-emission EU Stage V engines, an auxiliary electric propulsion system for port maneuvers without emissions, and dedicated batteries for peak shaving to optimize energy consumption.

Onboard, technologies for reducing food waste, sustainable products, and local sourcing will also be adopted.
