Oceanco confirms Leviathan as the new largest attendee at the Monaco Yacht Show 2026

Dutch yard Oceanco confirmed that its 111-metre Leviathan and recently relaunched 92.8-metre Draak will attend this year’s Monaco Yacht Show, reshuffling the show’s largest-yacht line-up as of 4 August.

Leviathan, delivered in 2025 and owned by Oceanco shareholder Gabe Newell, now takes the top spot from 102.4-metre Lürssen Nixie, which was previously the largest yacht confirmed to attend. The diesel-electric flagship is notable for its unconventional approach to onboard living, including shared guest and crew spaces, a gaming room and a dedicated research laboratory.

Draak, meanwhile, will appear alongside her larger companion yacht after undergoing a major rebuild at Oceanco. Originally delivered as Tranquility in 2014, the 92.8-metre yacht has been transformed into a support vessel for Leviathan, with a dedicated dive centre, decompression chamber and dive tender among the changes.

The official list of Monaco Yacht Show 2026 attendees revealed...

The official (initial) list of Monaco Yacht Show attendees was published on 17 July with the help of BOATPro data – revealing 43 newly delivered yachts (2026) and an estimated total of 120 yachts set to head to Port Hercule for the 35th edition from 23-26 September.
