Activities & Events at the Monaco Yacht Show 2026


Whilst you could easily spend all day at the Dockside Area browsing the beautiful selection of yachts for sale, there’s plenty more to see and do. From the luxury ‘Car Deck’ featuring classic and custom vehicles (from 1960s Mercedes-Benz models to the latest electric hypercars) to iconic Riva boats, helicopters, personal submarines, and the newest toys and tenders, the show offers a fully immersive glimpse into the superyacht lifestyle.


The Blue Wake Sustainability Programme, launched last year, also returns, spotlighting companies actively driving positive change across the industry.

Where to Head to after the Monaco Yacht Show


For post-show partying in Monaco, Buddha-Bar remains a go-to, blending pan-Asian cuisine with world-class live DJ sets. Twiga has a similar vibe, with a great menu and unrivalled club scene later in the evening. For those that prefer a slower pace, check out Nikki Beach Monte Carlo on the roof the Fairmont for poolside lounging, a summery soundtrack, and spectacular views over Port Hercule.
