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

2017 is shaping up to be a huge year for Italian yard Rossinavi, with four yacht launches scheduled. The Longitude 49 yacht Aurora is arguably the most exciting of the bunch, with a dynamic exterior design by Fulvio De Simoni, and she will be going on display in Port Hercules this September along with the yard's other recent launch, the 49.9 metre Endeavour II.

The second largest yacht to date from Italian yard CRN, 74 metre Cloud 9 was delivered earlier this year sporting exterior lines by Zuccon International Project and palatial Winch Design interiors, totalling in excess of 1,000 square metres. Key features include a separate owner’s deck and a beach club with an extendable bathing platform.

Parent company Ferretti Group will also be giving a Monaco debut to its updated version of the Custom Line Navetta 33, which is due to be unveiled in Cannes a few weeks prior.

The new flagship of the Netherlands’ Mulder Shipyard, Delta One is a 36 metre Claydon Reeves design that makes good use of the fast displacement hull form pioneered by Van Oossanen Naval Architects. This all-aluminium cruiser boasts a transatlantic maximum range and many other features normally associated with much larger yachts, such as a fold-out terrace in the saloon and a superyacht beach club in the transom.

With towering topsides and vivid orange detailing, there’s certainly no mistaking Genesia, the new Ocean King 130 yacht from Italian yard Cantiere Navali Chioggia. Styled inside and out by Andrea Vallicelli and riding on a hull developed by naval architects InNave, this 40.25 metre explorer yacht will have visitors to the Monaco show dreaming of far-flung expeditions.

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.

Dutch yard Damen is bringing the newest member of its yacht support vessel fleet to the Monaco show this year. New Frontiers measures 55.3 metres, giving owners a wealth of tender carrying options from helicopters to submersibles and much more besides. What’s more, she has been fitted out with three guest cabins, including a main-deck owner’s cabin, making her ideal for a weekend away from the mothership.

Damen will also be bringing the 69.15 metre Game Changer, which turned heads in London earlier this year by mooring up alongside HMS Belfast.

Yard owner Hans Georg Näder has commissioned Baltic for all six of his Pink Gin sailing yachts and the latest installment, Pink Gin VI, pushes the boundaries of sailing design in several key ways. Keep an eye out for multiple balconies cut into her 53.9 metre carbon-fibre hull, as well as her Design Unlimited interior of petrified wood, salmon skin, gilded bronze, hammered copper and velvet.

The first yacht in Turquoise’s new generation fleet — and the first hull out of the Turkish yard’s sheds since Ileria in 2013 — Razan’s highlights include sprawling deck spaces, a spectacular beach club and a globe-trotting cruising range of 4,200 nautical miles.

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.
