October 2026 issue
The Monaco Yacht Show always feels to me a little like a fever dream. Half of the boats we have been assiduously chasing for features over six months are suddenly all lined up together in one harbour in an embarrassment of editorial riches; countless meetings, many at the same time and all running late; cocktail parties, dinners, sleep, repeat. As anyone who’s visited will know, it is fascinating, exciting and occasionally hysterical in tone – but in a few short days it also reveals everything you need to know about the current state of superyachting. Alongside the new tech and trends that are visible on the dock, the hopes and ambitions of designers, builders and owners are on display.
Our cover boat, 72-metre Silver Fox, is among the debutants slated to grace Port Hercule this September – and she certainly tells a story about the aspirations of the yard that built her. Back in 2010, when Sanlorenzo hit a ceiling in terms of composite build size, they picked up on a trend for tougher, longer-range yachts and turned to metal. The idea went down a storm and – nearly two decades later – Silver Fox represents the largest model yet. And a stunning addition to its fleet.
For those more interested in what’s inside the yachts, our Design Report is essential reading. It covers how to achieve the much-vaunted but seldom achieved “timeless” aesthetic, as well as the chicest trends for home and boat. And for the gentleman who wants to dazzle while checking the time over lunch at the Hermitage, our watches shoot is on hand.
Over my 15 visits to the show, I’ve seen mermaids on a swim platform, been handed a bottle of champagne by a submarine stowed on an explorer yacht (it was clutching it in its little manipulator arm) and witnessed David Gandy open a bottle of vodka with his teeth, among many singular experiences. It’s beautiful and idiosyncratic, and however you tackle Monaco 2026, we hope you have a fabulous time.
