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.

Configurable yacht specialist Dynamiq made a huge impact at last year’s Monaco Yacht Show with the 39 metre Jetsetter, and the yard’s 35 metre follow-up GTT 115 looks every inch as impressive. Studio FA Porsche helped to develop both the exterior styling and the achingly cool interiors, with Pepita houndstooth fabrics similar to those found on the latest Porsche 911 R edition sportscar.

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.

Kalliente is the first hull of Dominator’s Ilumen range. The semi-displacement epoxy carbon boat lives up to its series moniker with floor to ceiling glazing in the saloon and a light-flooded master cabin, all wrapped in muscular lines penned by Alberto Mancini.

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.

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.

Most of the new yachts going on display at the Monaco Yacht Show have had a relatively short delivery voyage. Not so, Sorceress, who will have proved her blue water cruising credentials by making the trip up from South Africa where she was launched in April by the Southern Wind Shipyard. The first model in the limited edition SW96 series, she features naval architecture by Farr Yacht Design as well as styling inside and out by Nauta 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.
