World´s Leader Event in Superyachting.
Not only a well known staple amongst Mediterranean cruising grounds, the Principality of Monaco itself has long been the destination of choice for superyacht owners and guests, rendering it a natural home for the unique flagship event that is the Monaco Yacht Show. Though the stunning location has seemingly always gone hand in hand with an enviably glamorous superyacht lifestyle, the development of the Show to the level in which it currently rests has been a long process, requiring the brightest minds in yachting to work tirelessly round the clock to constantly improve, innovate and expand.
MONACO YACHT SHOW 2018
From Wednesday 26 to Saturday 29 September 2018. The MYS exhibition extends once again over almost the whole of Port Hercules and will also benefit from the restructuring by the Principality of Monaco of Quai des États-Unis, giving priority to the presence of naval architects, shipyards and brokers on the quays right next to their yachts on display in the water.
Visitors also find a new line of superyachts, extension of Quai Chicane, at right-angles to Quai des États-Unis, replacing the former floating pontoon connected to T Central.
The reorganization of the display in the water is backed up by a new themed orientation of the various exhibition zones, as ever with the aim of making the experience of future yacht buyers even more enjoyable.
Future owners accompanied by their captains or representatives are more and more closely involved in the building of their yachts and they can visit the exhibition tents to look for the latest in hi- tech equipment (Darse Sud) or the objects and furnishings presented by prestige luxury goods firms and craftsmen (Parvis Piscine).
The Quai Jarlan hosts part of the display of luxury tenders. Since the Tenders & Toys exhibition area launched in 2017, it has been devoted to yacht tenders and water toys and this year occupies more space on Quai Antoine Ier.
The Car Deck, the exhibition of prestige vehicles and the Starboard lounge-exhibition complete the superyacht lifestyle exhibition on Quai Antoine Ier.
SUPERYACHTS
This year’s MYS see 121 superyachts over 25m in length on display.
TENDERS & TOYS
FOR YEAR #2, The EXHIBITION features the best of tenders & toys worlds, now offering a complete superyacht lifestyle.
Fast chase-boats, latest sport tenders, full carbon e-bikes, inflatables and even a remotely operated underwater vessel are among the top water accessories that will make the tender exhibition at Quai Jarlan and the dedicated Tenders & Toys area “must visit playgrounds” of MYS 2018.
High-end water toys have always been part of the MYS and it stresses out the importance of this complementary exhibition aside the large yachts on display.
The extended new zone, introduced to the superyacht industry just last year and located on Quai Antoine Ier, now offers a complete superyacht lifestyle environment in ultra-luxury spot.
Once again – the Monaco Yacht Show 2018 Tenders & Toys zone will complement the range of afloat tenders at the long lasting legendary Quai Jarlan, located on the opposite side of the show.
With those displays, Monaco Yacht Show offers the best of two worlds – superyachts and their exciting gears.This is when the garage become the big player. Tenders are the key element of superb holidays on board a superyacht.“I strongly disagree with the industry that looks at a tender only as a technical part of a superyacht”, comments Carlo Nuvolari of the renowned Venetian design studio Nuvolari Lenard that is responsible for iconic projects like the 106m Black Pearl or the 82m Alfa Nero.
“Yachts get bigger and many of them can’t fit in harbors and have to stay outside far away in the sea at anchor. In this case, a stylish, custom-made tender with the same family feeling as the main boat is the perfect way for an owner to show off. The focus shifted on great tenders around 10 years ago and it keeps growing. That is why tenders are crucial now.”
Even more, they are lifestyle changers. They help get to secluded harbors thanks to the shallow draft, ride from the superyacht to the port and back with speed and in style, and even receive a pure splash of emotions by pressing the accelerator and going full speed ahead of the wind. And, most importantly, they mirror the strong personality of the owner. Indeed, tenders are not just a fun extension of the main superyacht. They give younger clientele a chance to enter the much-desired superyacht niche. The presented toys were equally stunning.
