28 of the best new yachts on display at the 2017 Monaco Yacht Show

The unrivalled pinnacle of the yachting calendar, the Monaco Yacht Show brings together all the biggest names in the world of yachting to exhibit their newest masterpieces. We round up the most notable new arrivals to keep an eye out for...

Built to PYC standards, 85 metre Areti is a Winch-designed Lürssen superyacht can accommodate up to 18 guests. Those look to relax on board certainly won't be stuck for options, with a luxurious spa area complete with sauna, hot tub, full depth plunge pool and experience showers.

Delivered at the tail end of 2016, the 92 metre Sinot-designed Feadship superyacht Aquarius looks set to dominate the 2017 Monaco Yacht Show. Her light filled lounges are completely devoid of supporting pillars, creating a truly open-plan feel informed by her owner’s experience in the luxury accommodation industry.

The first Heesen yacht to combine hybrid propulsion with a fast displacement hull, 49.8 metre Home will be making her debut at Monaco this year. Italian design Cristiano Gatto created a chic, modern interior for this all aluminium yacht, which perfectly compliments her sleek exterior styling, which comes courtesy of long-time yard collaborator Omega Architects. And given Heesen’s reputation for top-notch hospitality, the 4.8 metre long sundeck bar should come in handy during the show.

The first Swan 95 is a sailer built for slick performance, with twin rudders for responsiveness and easy manoeuvring, while a lifting keel can shrink her draught from 5.5m to 3.3m. Lot 99 features a semi-raised saloon, but a flush deck version of the 95 is also available.

The Mangusta 165 has proven to be one of the most successful semi-custom yacht series in the 50 metre bracket, with the 12th hull launched by Overmarine earlier this year. Her bold exterior colour-scheme immediately sets her apart from all of the other yachts in the series and rumour has it that her interior is just as daring.

The Italian yard is also expected to bring a member of its burgeoning Mangusta Oceanco 42 range to the Monaco Yacht Show this year.

Another Turkish titan hoping to take Monaco by storm, 47.5 metre Nerissa is hull number one in Bilgin’s 156 semi-custom series. Her curvaceous exterior is straight from the boards of Unique Yacht Design, who also contributed the naval architecture for the project, while British studio H2 Yacht Design worked up her bright, modern interior décor.

Italian yard Perini Navi has confirmed that it will be bringing a 60 metre sailing yacht to Monaco this year, with reports suggesting that it is the in-build project currently known as C2232, which was recently launched and named Seven. She is the third such yacht to be built by Perini, following on from Seahawk and Perseus 3, all of which benefit from Ron Holland's naval architecture expertise.

Venerable Dutch yard Hakvoort is bringing its newest canoe-sterned beauty to this year’s Monaco Yacht Show. 38.25 metre Soprano hits all the right notes with a interior by Felix Buytendijk that was inspired by New England beach houses. This classically styled aesthetic is truly befitting of her elegant exterior from Diana Yacht Design.

Hull number four in the Wallycento series of 30.48 metre sailing superyachts, Tango will be representing the yard at this year’s Monaco show. Developed in collaboration with naval architect Mark Mills and built by Persico Marine, she features interior styling by the renowned Pininfarina studio. Wally adds that this latest model has been optimised for superior performance, with improved hull stiffness, a new deck layout and a lower dry displacement of 47.5 tonnes.

Two years after the debut of 69.3 metre Suerte, Italian yard Tankoa Yachts is returning to the Monaco Yacht Show this year to give a public debut to the 49.9 metre Vertige. An on-board cinema and superyacht gym are just two of the highlights that make this Francesco Paszkowski-designed yacht well worth a closer look.
