Monaco Yacht Show 2026: Quality over quantity, agility, trust and patience

Four days after Oceanco’s 111-metre Leviathan made her show debut as the largest yacht in Port Hercule, the 35th edition of the Monaco Yacht Show closed on 26 September 2026, having drawn around 30,000 visitors.

The fleet that greeted revellers this year was marginally smaller than last year, but larger in tonnage and backed by a brokerage fleet worth just under €2.1 billion. Quality over quantity was one of the idioms on the docks, with Wednesday consistently cited as the day for high-calibre clientele. The charter market is robust. The brokerage market is resilient. It is a buyer’s market below 60-metres. These, paired with trust, agility, and patience, were the phrases on market-leading lips this year.
