Monaco Yacht Show 2026: your yacht in Port Hercule
The show runs from 23 to 26 September 2026. Host it from a yacht berthed on the quay, or take a day charter along the coast while the harbour is at its busiest — both by quote, from our Monaco desk.

Two ways to live the show
Berthed hospitality
A yacht berthed on Port Hercule during the show is the most effective base in the principality — steps from the displays, with a private deck for meetings, viewings and evening receptions away from the crowds.
We secure the berth — scarce and booked far ahead for show week — and arrange the crew, catering and a schedule that works around your viewings and meetings across the four days.
Day charter during show week
If you would rather see the fleet from the water, a day charter leaves Monaco mid-morning: a run past the show anchorage, a swim off Cap-Ferrat or lunch at anchor, and back as the light softens.
Skipper, fuel and the route are quoted as one clear figure. During show week we recommend enquiring early — the best-positioned boats are spoken for first.

The show opens wednesday 23 – friday 25 september from 10:00 to 18:30, and saturday 26 september from 10:00 to 18:00. Wednesday 23 September: the dockside area is reserved for MYS VIP pass holders; public access Thursday to Saturday. Passes are sold by the organiser online.
From Nice Côte d'Azur airport the Monacair regular line reaches Monaco heliport in 7 minutes, with departures through the day; we coordinate the transfer from the heliport to the quay, and guest arrivals and tenders across show week.

Brokers price the surrounding week (Monday 21 – Sunday 27 September) close to high season, with pressure on the best-positioned yachts. Published weekly brackets for the Monaco fleet, exclusive of APA and VAT:
| Yacht | Weekly rate (excl. APA & VAT) |
|---|---|
| Motor yacht 20–30 m | €25,000 – €65,000 |
| Superyacht 30–40 m | €65,000 – €180,000 |
| Premium superyacht 40–45 m | €140,000 – €320,000 |
| Megayacht 45 m+ | €280,000 – €800,000+ |
APA (fuel, berthing, food and drink) is typically 25–35% of the charter fee; VAT at 20% applies to charters starting in France or Monaco. A berthed show-week package is priced on request — the berth itself is the scarce item.
