On Friday 26 September 2025, BOAT International once again lit up Monte Carlo with its annual party during the Monaco Yacht Show. The invitation-only event was held in association with Nexo and Ulyssia, with event partners Ocean Alexander, Boeing Business Jets, Princess Yachts and Maxmar and supporting partner ONEXP.
The guests
This year, the event drew 550 guests, including yacht owners, captains, designers, brokers, shipyard representatives and other VIPs from across the industry.
The venue
The celebration returned to the iconic Monte Carlo Beach Hotel, a glamorous destination renowned for its beach club and Olympic-sized pool that has been a fixture of the Riviera social scene since the 1920s.
Guests were welcomed with champagne on arrival, with Ulyssia’s “Ring for Champagne” wall ensuring glasses were never empty throughout the evening. A selection of live cooking stations and multiple bars kept everyone well-fed and refreshed, while Nexo’s bespoke cocktail lounge proved a popular gathering spot.
Throughout the night, guests tested their swing on Off the Deck’s golf simulator, competing for Nearest the Pin, powered by Nexo, and captured memories in a 360-degree photo booth courtesy of ONEXP.
A range of models were also on display, including Ulyssia’s residential superyacht concept, two Princess Yachts models and a Boeing Business Jets display.
The entertainment
The evening’s entertainment was curated by The Collective, setting the tone from the very start with the roaming band La Vie welcoming guests as they arrived. Later, the energy shifted up a gear as the band took to the stage alongside a DJ, keeping the dance floor buzzing late into the night.
