Another Monaco Yacht Show has come and gone, and what a show it was!
Four days of world premieres, record crowds, late-night yacht parties, and a clear signal that the superyacht industry is entering a smarter, greener, and more connected era.
Here’s our look at the 2025 edition — in numbers, highlights, and honest impressions from the docks.
The Numbers That Tell the Story

What Made This Year Different
1. Sustainability Became Serious
The Blue Wake™ zone turned heads and started conversations. From hydrogen propulsion to recycled composites, sustainability wasn’t just a buzzword — it was the main storyline.
2. Smaller but Smarter Yachts
This year proved that innovation doesn’t always mean size. Shipyards unveiled more efficient, tech-integrated, sub-60m designs, showing that owners want versatility and autonomy.
3. Digital is the New Deck
AI-driven systems, digital yacht management tools, and even metaverse experiences were everywhere. Superyachts are now as connected as they are luxurious.
4. Real Business Happened
Deals were happening behind closed doors — and plenty of them. The mood was confident, with brokers noting a strong rebound in serious buyers and long-term investors.
5. Monaco After Dark
Of course, no MYS would be complete without the magic of the after-hours. From intimate cocktail receptions to high-profile parties, the energy around the Port was electric well past midnight.

Our Impression
Monaco 2025 was not about excess — it was about evolution.
A show that managed to blend the timeless elegance of yachting with the urgency of a changing world.
From cutting-edge propulsion systems to digital ownership experiences, the conversation has moved forward — and fast.
If one message echoed through the quays this year, it was this:
The future of yachting is not just built — it’s imagined.
Until next year, from the docks of Port Hercule — this is Andrei Dragos from SuperYachts Channel, where the world of luxury yachting comes to life.
