The 20 Largest Yachts at the Monaco Yacht Show

Can't get to monaco see the kings of the harbor here instead..

• Share This Article

Every September since the year that Bryan Adams charted with “(Everything I Do) I Do It For You,” yachting enthusiasts, buyers, charterers, yacht builders, and brokers have descended on the principality of Monaco for the annual Monaco Yacht Show . And this September, of course, is no different. Running September 26 through 29, show organizers expect 120 custom superyachts from builders, owners, and charter brokers around the globe to moor at the docks of Port Hercules. In addition, 40 of these yachts will be making their worldwide debut. The average length of participating yachts is 160 feet, but this year there will be seven superyachts between 230 and 328 feet in length. And four of them will be making their world debuts. In addition, watersports lovers can view and sometimes try out the 40 different tenders and toys on display. For those into automobiles, 10 luxury models will be exhibited at the show’s Car Deck. And we mustn’t overlook the two helicopters scheduled to appear. Overall, 580 companies participate in the annual show.

For superyacht clientele, the Monaco Yacht Show offers a VIP visit pack, the Sapphire Experience, which provides exclusive services to new yacht buyers and current owners. VIP visitors may participate in two invite-only events held the evening of September 25: the Monaco Yacht Summit—mini-lectures and discussions with a panel of yachting-industry experts to explore the practical questions of future yacht charterers or buyers—and the Inaugural Gala Event and 5th Monaco Yacht Show Superyacht Awards, where 400 guests celebrate the most spectacular yachts at the show.

Last year’s Monaco Yacht Show saw 36,400 people roaming the tents, halls, and docks. And usually, His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco takes a (highly secured) stroll through the event, as well.

Oceanco Dar

The 295-foot Oceanco Dar promises to be one of the most impressive debuts at Monaco, not only for its scale but also for the stunning profile, which is reminiscent of a smaller, sportier motor yacht. Dar ’s interior by Nuvolari-Lenard is just as stylish, with six large, contemporary staterooms for 12 guests, including a palatial master suite. The yacht has quarters for 31 crew. Dar also has the amenities one would expect on a gigayacht, including a spacious beach club, elevator, spa, swimming pool, sauna, and helipad. The Dutch yard, known for its technical prowess, has fitted the yacht with the latest technology, including state-of-the-art zero-speed stabilizers.

Pride Mega Yachts Illusion Plus

By Danielle Cutler

Pride Mega Yachts recently launched the 290-foot, six-deck gigayacht   Illusion Plus . The interior design is by Netherlands-based Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design. London’s Rainsford Mann Design crafted the exterior, and Netherlands-based Azure Yacht Design performed the naval architecture. The interior fit-out was done by Dubai’s Greenline Yacht Interiors. It’s rare to find such an internationally respected group of names attached to a single build.

Combined with its nearly 300-foot length,  Illusion Plus ’s 50-foot beam makes the yacht palatial. One of the yacht’s most noteworthy features is the 860-square-foot owner’s apartment situated on its own deck. In addition to the apartment, the yacht has two VIPs, two double guest cabins, one twin, and two staterooms for the owner’s staff on the deck below. In total, the yacht accommodates 12 guests. Fifteen cabins house 25 crew members on the lower deck.

Illusion Plus  features four interior saloons and two dining rooms. Two Jacuzzis (including a huge main-deck hot tub with waterfall), three custom guest tenders, and a four-deck elevator all add to the yacht’s allure. A double-height atrium links the saloon on the main deck with the lounge on the deck. The tranquil spa offers a steam room, massage area, and sauna. The main deck has the gym and beauty salon.

Illusion Plus is propelled by a diesel-electric propulsion system with Azipull thruster pods that Pride developed with Rolls-Royce, making Illusion Plus  ultra-efficient and quiet. The yacht still offers up a speedy 17-knot maximum speed, 15-knot cruising speed, and 5,000 nautical mile range.

Turquoise Yachts Go

Turquoise Yachts launched its flagship  Go  earlier this year. London-based H2 Yacht Design gave the 253-foot superyacht a long, sleek hull, a bulbous bow, and geometric rudders to minimize drag while the yacht is running and to deliver good fuel economy. You can’t miss the yacht’s turquoise-blue hull.

Other noteworthy features include a large entrance area that meets a central elevator running from the garage to the sundeck. The yacht can accommodate up to 18 passengers, with two VIP suites, six guest staterooms, and an owners’ full-beam stateroom with a private lounge area and hot tub on their own private deck.  Go  also provides housing for 20 crew members.

Go ’s amidships garage carries a 31-foot limo tender and a 26-foot general-use tender in addition to multiple water toys. The garage’s location gave more space to the 1,744-square-foot aft beach club. Plus, the yacht’s two rear side panels fold down, giving guests instant access to the water on three sides.  Go ’s sundeck also features a large outdoor space and a 16-foot swimming pool. The foredeck is home to the helipad.

Tankoa Yachts Solo

By Geri Ward

Tankoa ’s new 236-foot superyacht  Solo , designed by Francesco Paszkowski, features a large winter garden, a large aft deck with a 20-foot transversal pool, an upper deck with a large saloon with incredible views, and glass bulwarks for unobstructed water views from the saloon and staterooms.

Margherita Casprini designed the warm and contemporary interior, with details such as Fendi Casa tables. Solo  offers up six staterooms for 12 guests, including a VIP suite, four double cabins, and a master suite on the owner’s deck. The private deck features fold-out terraces, direct access to the helipad, and a private exterior deck with a hot tub, bar, saloon, breakfast nook, and bathroom with shower. The owner’s study and the beach club’s massage room can transform into two more cabins; both have en suite bathrooms.

The beach-club area includes a glass-walled gym and foldout terrace, sauna (with its own foldout terrace), hammam, bathroom, bar, and TV. The side-loading tender garage houses two 24-foot tenders, personal watercraft, and a rescue boat.

Two 3516 Caterpillar engines give Solo a top speed of 17 knots. At 12.5 knots, the yacht has a range of more than 6,000 nm.

Amels Volpini 2

The 188-foot  Volpini 2 —the first Limited Editions superyacht using Dutch shipyard  Amels ’s first hybrid power configuration—is the first new yacht to be Tier III compliant under new emissions standards put in place by the International Maritime Organization. Volpini 2 features exterior design by Tim Heywood and interiors created by UK firm Reymond Langton.

The yacht accommodates a total of 12 guests in an owner’s suite with a 130-square-foot folding balcony and six guest suites, including a private VIP on the bridge deck.  Volpini 2 also houses 12 crew and a captain. Guests will enjoy the water-level beach club with wellness center. A central staircase and an elevator join the decks.

Volpini 2  has a top speed of 15.5 knots and a range of 4,500 nautical miles at 13 knots.

Mangusta El Leon

Mangusta ’s flagship El Leon was launched in May. Designed by Alberto Mancini, the 178-foot superyacht is the first of its long-anticipated, fast-displacement GranSport aluminum line.

Mancini gave El Leon a long, sleek, and straight profile, with banks of windows providing sunlight to the saloon, master suite, and guest staterooms. A bulbous bow provides efficiency at displacement speeds and a solid maximum speed of 30 knots, provided by four 16V MTU 2000 diesel engines. The yacht has a range of 3,500 miles at optimal cruising speed.

Thanks to rotating doors, the stern transforms into a huge beach club with terraces. Up on the flybridge, a central bar serves both the open aft deck and a shaded area for alfresco dining.

Heesen Irisha  Dick Holthuis

Heesen Irisha

The 167-foot all-aluminum Irisha from Dutch shipyard Heesen sports a stunning profile by Harrison Eidsgaard that was imagined to resemble a fighter jet with an unconventional color scheme. The designers combined a Snow White top with a Midnight Blue main deck, finishing with a metallic Pacific Blue hull. In changing sunlight,  Irisha ’s hull transforms from blue to a dark, olive-green. Concealed LED strips trace the lines of its profile at night, flooding the yacht’s glass surfaces with bright light.

The interior is a bit less dramatic but still beautiful with beige, gray, and blue. Special lighting was developed to draw a guest’s eye to the architectural and design elements in each room by creating different atmospheres, all with the touch of a button. Irisha was also designed to be a spacious, elegant gathering place. The main deck has a formal reception area for large groups, with a protected, aft-deck winter garden connecting to the main interior saloon. The 30-foot-long saloon has an “imperial” dining table that seats from 14 to 22 guests. In contrast with the social areas, the owner’s suite forward is a haven, with its own study, balcony with sliding glass doors, and his-and-her walk-in dressing rooms. Custom artwork defines the master suite and is laced across the yacht, including the main atrium with the yacht’s primary staircase.

Benetti Seven

Lucky number Seven boasts the longest fiberglass hull and aluminum superstructure that Italian yacht builder Benetti has ever launched. The 165-foot custom design has an impressive interior by London-based Bannenberg & Rowell Design, with an owner’s apartment on the main deck and four generous staterooms, totaling 3,330 square feet, on the lower deck. Benetti says that the upper deck can be converted into a VIP stateroom . Seven was built to be exceptionally quiet and vibration-free, something the guests on the lower deck will appreciate. The lower transom houses a beach club that overlooks the ocean. The twin Caterpillar C32 Acert engines produce a top speed of 15.5 knots. At 11 knots, Seven has a range of 4,000 nautical miles.

Wider 165 Cecilia

Cecilia , the new Wider 165, has features that the Italian builder pioneered, including a massive master suite with balconies, hybrid propulsion, and unusually large interior spaces. The Wider Beach is probably the yard’s most notable achievement. A Wider 32 is the yacht’s tender and fits into a specially designed garage. When the boat is launched directly into the ocean, the area fills and turns into a saltwater swimming pool. The Fulvio De Simoni design includes abundant exterior spaces and full-height windows. Cecilia has five staterooms for 10 guests, with quarters for nine crew members.

Ada Yacht Works All About U

The 164-foot custom sloop-rigged motor sailer All About U from Turkey-based Ada Yacht Works launched this last summer. Now the company’s flagship, the sailing yacht accommodates 12 guests in a full-beam master suite, full-beam VIP stateroom, and four double staterooms, plus four crew cabins. An open-plan saloon, dining room, and wheelhouse provide endless views. A 700-square-foot flybridge deck means plenty of room for plenty of guests, and a folding transom that transforms into a 280-foot beach club gets everyone into the water. The All About U sports a top speed of 15 knots, thanks to two Caterpillar engines.

CRN Latona.  Photo: Federico Ferretti

Delivered in May by Italian yachtbuilder CRN , 164-foot Latona (formerly Project Superconero) makes its world premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show. Zuccon International Project and  CRN ’s engineers collaborated with the owner’s team to create a yacht that carries a glimmer of CRN’s past, the project adopting the name of CRN’s 75-foot SuperConero series of the 1960s and ’70s. That yacht, fairly small now, was an important project at the time because it was built in steel. The SuperConero design also had an iconic shape featuring an unusually long transom deck and sharp forefoot.

Latona inherited SuperConero cues such as a sharp entry and an extended transom deck, but modern features include a large social area on the foredeck, a terrace that folds out from the saloon, and a large beach club off the tender garage. Latona ’s flooding floating tender garage and beach club create a large waterside lounge area. The cockpit on the main deck, a level above, has a separate swimming pool and large area for socializing.

Boasting four decks and an underdeck, Latona ’s interior was created in the Liberty style, the Central European genre from the 1920s. The owner chose the sinuous dark-brown embroidery found across all decks. Depending on the area of the yacht, the pattern travels along both marble and carpeted floors as well as on the curved handrail of the internal staircase, contrasting nicely with the light-wood paneling on the walls. Full-height windows in the saloon and master suite provide incredible views of the water and welcome natural light. Latona accommodates 10 guests in five staterooms: the master, two VIPs, and two double cabins, plus housing for nine crew members.

Damen Yachts Power Play  Photo: Courtesy of Damen

Damen Yachts Power Play  

Damen ’s new 182-foot  Power Play  support vessel does more than carry tenders, toys, and extra supplies. It’s kind of like a hybrid between a standard shadow boat and a primary superyacht, featuring a main-deck saloon, three large staterooms, and a rear deck for guests.

The sixth of  Damen ’s YS-5009 series,  Power Play  was made for adventure. It can be used for long-distance trips as a standalone yacht or as a support vessel for extra crew, supplies, or security. Damen made sure Power Play could operate in zero-discharge zones like marine sanctuaries.  Power Play features a 13-ton deck crane for launching large equipment such as personal submarines. Designed like a support vessel for running in rough seas, it sports a 20-knot maximum speed.

Rossinavi Flying Dagger

Rossinavi has built some of the world’s most interesting custom yachts in the world. Its recent launch, the 161-foot Flying Dagger , is no exception. Enrico Gobbi’s Team for Design penned both the interior and exterior. The jaunty superstructure, sloped windscreen, and extended foredeck is mated to a straight-line hull, with large windows on both sides. The boat has three 2,600 hp MTU engines that are linked to three KaMeWa water jets. That will give the yacht a top end of 27 knots and a cruise speed of 23 knots. At a leisurely 12 knots, Flying Dagger has a 3,300-mile range.

Baglietto 48M T-Line

Baglietto ’s new 157-foot superyacht, the 48M T-Line, can rightly claim to be the yard’s first in-house design since the new executive team took over the iconic brand three years ago.  Baglietto , which built its first boat in 1854, is clearly moving into the next chapter of its long history with this new design.

Francesco Paszkowski has shaped  Baglietto  for nearly a decade, giving the yacht line its signature look, and he was commissioned to do the exterior for the 48 T-Line. Baglietto’s design team crafted the interior, using Italian walnut as the base wood and combining it with gold and bronze accents, light carpet, and cream-colored leathers. As a contrast to the dark joinery and tables, the team used a light-colored Canaletto-nut-pattern wood floor in the saloon and staterooms. The paneling on the walls features irregular cuts of inlaid wood to give it a modern feel without detracting from the yacht’s elegance. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the saloon and skylounge with natural light.

An unusually large beach club, more than 500 square feet, is devoted to a steam room, bar, and an area that could be used as a gym, spa, or some sort of quiet retreat center—not to mention the actual beach club that provides easy water access and a nice reprieve to enjoy the view.

Paszkowski’s exterior also includes social areas on the foredeck, flybridge, and aft cockpit—the sundeck alone has 1,400 square feet of open space.

Powered by twin Caterpillar diesel engines, the 48M T-Line has a 16-knot maximum speed and a cruising speed of 12 knots.

Mangusta Oceano 46 Q95.  Photo: Courtesy of Mangusta

Mangusta Oceano 46 Q95

Mangusta ’s new tri-deck, 151-foot Q95 is a fresh departure for the Italian builder. The new steel-hulled model not only shows parent-company Overmarine’s commitment to the long-range displacement segment, but the Oceano 46 was also designed by a dream team comprised of two of Italy’s most celebrated designers. Stefano Righini’s exterior gives Q95 its contemporary look, a trait demanded by Mangusta owners, but Righini made sure to include large spaces that make the yacht a pleasure to cruise on over long distances. Those spaces include a swimming pool on the foredeck, a skydeck that invites relaxation and exceptional views of the water, and a rear cockpit on the main deck for alfresco dining. The interior by Alberto Mancini includes light-wood paneling on the walls, backlit stonework, and details like a dark-framed painting of tigers overlooking the formal dining table. The master suite has three skylights as well as a foldout balcony. The yacht’s staterooms can accommodate 12 guests.

Custom Line Navetta 42.  Photo: Courtesy of Custom Line

Custom Line Navetta 42

Back in the day—as recently as just five years ago—the naveta-style boat was the closest thing the Italians made to an American trawler, with a seaworthy displacement hull, a no-frills interior, and not much in the way of exterior social space. It was the type of vessel on which roughing it was considered a virtue and modern conveniences like, say, a Jacuzzi were for wimps.

Over the last three years, the designers of Ferretti’s  Custom Line  broke the naveta concept into small pieces and redesigned it for the modern superyacht world. The company’s reinterpretation means the naveta is no longer Italy’s equivalent of a slow boat to China, but a handsome, comfortable, and efficient design that is attracting owners of other types of motor yachts.

The 138-foot yacht is the largest semi-displacement hull that Custom Line has built, with a top-end speed of 22 knots and a transatlantic range of 3,000 nautical miles at its friendly cruise speed.

But that’s just the start. The 42 has a huge social island on the exterior foredeck with a settee, table, and four-person sunbed. On the flybridge is a small Jacuzzi forward, loungers, and a helm station under the hardtop as well as an open area at the stern with space for loose furniture—perfect for savoring the view. The cockpit just below has a similar layout, with an outside dining table for eight. The lower area of the stern features a tender garage with a new launch-and-retrieval system and transom space for a beach club.

The interior is also ultramodern. The main deck has a long saloon that includes sofas at the rear and a formal dining area forward, plus a full-beam master suite with a patio on one side and a desk along the other bulkhead. On the lower deck, four double guest suites, all with large windows, are equal in size and positioned for maximum room to move around the double bed. An owner can also opt for a five-stateroom layout.

Conrad C133 Viatoris  

Arguably the hottest studio in superyacht design, UK-based Reymond Langton was behind the contemporary but elegant look of the new  Viatoris , the 133-footer from Conrad shipyard. The designers did away with the usual stacked wedding-cake look and instead introduced curves to the rear of the upper decks that lend an air of individuality to its blue-and-white profile while also providing an exceptional view for the owners and guests. Besides the unusually ornate interior, the 133 differs from other yachts in its class with the four balconies that open outward on the main deck (two in the master suite and two in the aft saloon) that give an open-air feel to these areas. The owner uses  Viatoris  as a home on the water rather than a weekend retreat, which explains the full-beam master suite, generous social spaces on the bridge and sundecks, and custom interior.

Princess Bandazul

The semi-custom 131-foot Bandazul by Princess Yachts has a number of custom modifications from the UK builder’s in-house design team. The owner opted for a combination of light stone, soft fabrics, and glossed wenge joinery. The yacht’s extended saloon joins an open sundeck. The seating on the foredeck is also expansive with a table and seats, and there’s another large area in the cockpit. The owner wanted four larger suites, rather than the traditional five-stateroom layout, so there’s a large VIP stateroom belowdecks. Bandazul is powered by twin 1,920 hp MTU diesels for a maximum speed of 22 knots.

CBI Navi Stella di Mare  Photo: Courtesy

CBI Navi Stella di Mare

The fully custom 131-foot Stella di Mare from CBI Navi is a long-range expedition yacht designed by Sergio Cutolo of HydroTec. The exterior design has multiple social spaces, including a flybridge with 915 square feet of open deck, a large upper foredeck, and a main-deck cockpit measuring 800 square feet. The interior by Fossati Design Bureau includes an expansive saloon with a formal dining area as well as five staterooms, with the owner’s suite situated on the main deck. The yacht is powered by twin 1,000 hp Caterpillar C32 diesels, which delivers a maximum speed of 14 knots. Stella di Mare has a range of 6,900 nautical miles at 10.5 knots.

Sunseeker 131 Zozo  Photo: Mike Jones

Sunseeker 131 Zozo

The first in Sunseeker’s new 131 Yacht line, Zozo launched last year. The beauty about the 131-foot tri-deck Sunseeker model is that no two will look alike. Sunseeker’s customization service not only personalizes the interior decor but also the internal configurations. The standard layout is for 10 guests in five cabins, though an owner can choose to increase or decrease the number of staterooms.

Building on the success of the Sunseeker 130, the 131 features improvements such as an extended skydeck and upper aft deck, allowing for a larger bar and more seating, as well as a hot tub on the skydeck. A deck below, the flydeck features a dining table for 10 that adjoins the upper saloon. On the main deck, the open-plan saloon has a large social area with sofas and a formal dining table. And the palatial main-deck master includes a large bedroom, separate desk and lounge areas, and a full-beam bathroom forward, with his-and-her sinks, a shower, a toilet/bidet, and even a bathtub.

The garage accommodates a 20-foot tender and two jet skis. Zozo hits a top speed of 25 knots— fast for a superyacht—and cruises at 10 knots to provide a 1,500-mile range.

The largest yacht in Monaco's harbour

Daniel Ricciardo, Lando Norris, Zak Brown & Mike Jones share McLaren's limited edition livery ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix. (1:56)

MONACO -- If the wide shots of the Monaco Grand Prix look a little less spectacular this year, it's probably because the circuit's famous harbour is operating at little over half capacity.

Port Hercule, which is skirted by Monaco's famous race track on two sides, usually acts as a magnet for the Mediterranean's superyachts at this time of year, turning 160,000 square metres of liquid real estate into the ultimate playground for the rich and famous.

On a race weekend, a berth in Port Hercule can cost anywhere between €8,000 and €128,000 depending on location and size of boat, with the most expensive positions offering a view of the track from the Nouvelle Chicane to the Swimming Pool complex.

The very biggest boats have no choice but to moor on "The T" behind the Swimming Pool grandstand, with their bows pointing out to sea.

But the COVID-19 pandemic has curbed the party in 2021, with loud music banned after 10 p.m. and no more than 12 guests on a yacht at any time.

The largest yacht in the harbour this year is "Faith", a 316-foot leviathan worth an estimated $200,000,000.

In 2019 it was anchored further down the coastline, acting as the base for Aston Martin team owner Lawrence Stroll and his racing driver son, Lance.

Recent media reports suggest Faith has been sold to Michael Latifi, the billionaire chairman and CEO of Sofina Foods and father of Williams racing driver Nicholas.

Details of Faith can be found online , including its seasonal charter rates, which start at an eye-watering €1,200,000 per week and rise to €1,500,000.

That money not only buys you a lot of yacht for seven days, but also a list of amenities that would make several of Monaco's five-star hotels look rather ill-equipped.

The five-storey floating palace houses a cinema, spa, swimming pool, massage room, steam room, hammam, gym and, rumour has it, a snow room.

It has seven bedrooms that can sleep up to 12 guests, a VIP stateroom to entertain friends and includes an elevator to conveniently link its decks.

Faith also comes laden with toys, including two jet skis, an electric foiling surfboard, three sea bobs and two kayaks.

A helipad and helicopter hangar are built into the floating superstructure, although it seems as though you have to provide your own helicopter.

One charter website carrying details of Faith, claims its "impressive leisure and entertainment facilities make her the ideal charter yacht for socialising and entertaining with family and friends".

The Largest Superyachts of Monaco Yacht Show 2019

By Anna Solomon

The world’s largest yacht show is just around the corner! There are countless things to do over the four action-packed days of Monaco Yacht Show, but the biggest boats in show are a must-see. Superyachts.com have compiled a list of the largest yachts to be cruising into Port Hercules this year...

111m TIS From the trusted shipyard of Lurssen comes TIS - the largest yacht in Monaco this year. This 111m specimen made history when she was launched in June of this year, and has been cruising in the Mediterranean since. The recent addition to the Top 100 fleet is a quintessential Lurssen - built to PYC regulations with impeccable exteriors and interiors from Winch Design . She is an unequivocally elegant yacht, designed to feel light and open, but with a classical twist.

107m Amadea At a gargantuan 107m, Amadea takes second place among the largest yachts in show at MYS 2019. Imperial Yachts bring this 2017 Lurssen to Port Hercules to show off her many credentials to prospective buyers, which include 6 standout decks and an 8-cabin layout designed by the industry-leading Espen Øino , as well as airy interiors from Francois Zuretti. Amadea is the epitome of luxury; sophisticated, elaborate and complex.

90m DreAMBoat Oceanco classic DreAMBoat is the next largest boat to be displayed to the public at MYS. The 90m Espen Øino/ Terence Disdale Design collaboration, who worked on the exterior and the interior respectively, features generous overhangs from the superstructure and cutouts in the bulwarks for a traditional and timeless appearance. Another 2019 build, DreAMBoat is an example of cutting edge technology and has achieved the ECO-IHM (inventory of hazardous materials) notation.

90.1m Phoenix II This 2010 build is cruising into Monaco as a charter vessel, represented by brokerage Eastwind Yachts. Yet another yacht from Top 100 specialist Lurssen, this 90.1m is one of the most luxurious on the charter market, featuring a sleek and elegant exterior and interior from none other than Andrew Winch. 

85m Bold This 85m is presented at MYS by Silveryachts shipyard. The fifth largest yacht at the show, this recently built giant is also the fifth vessel to be constructed by the Australian yard, who are bringing a whole new dimension to the world of yachting. Bold harnesses world leading fuel efficiency, technical supremacy and the expertise of Espen Øino.

If you're lucky enough to be heading to the South of France in a week and a half, make sure to catch a glimpse of these awe-inspiring builds. Superyachts.com will be reporting on all procedings - watch this space!

The 10 Biggest Yachts at the Monaco Yacht Show

The biggest? 354 feet!

• Perspectives on industry trends and aspects of chartering, buying, building and operating a superyacht.
• How to choose your superyacht and your broker.
• Practical steps involved in commissioning and building a new construction project from a client perspective, panelists include shipyard, naval architecture, project management and legal expertise providing their guidance to delegates on undertaking a new construction project.

So hard to find really good naval architects nowadays.

Parked in Monte Carlo harbor right now are the stars of the show: many magnificent monster yachts. While you may be dragging out the canvas cover to store the Boston Whaler away for the season as the leaves change on Harsen’s Island , these yachts will allow you, or your crew, to follow the summer to the Southern Hemisphere where, if you’re truly a maja playah, you have your own country somewhere.

Here are the top 10 attractions in Monaco this year. Pick a favorite. Some are for sale, some are for charter, all are available for a price. I suggest superyachttimes.com or boatinternational.com as unbiased sources of gigayacht-buying info.

If any of these yachts prove too expensive, you can get something 150 feet long for less than $20 million if you don’t mind an older build. You can go 100 feet for $10 million, again, an older construction. Nobody has to know. But a class act like yourself will want one of these. And remember, if it’s less than 300 feet long, no one’s going to take you seriously.

Length: 354 feet Asking price at MYS: $205 million

The letters IJE are the initials of the children of Australian billionaire James Packer, a casino mogul reportedly once engaged to Mariah Carey. The ship offers guests five decks from which to choose, with up to 22 guests spread out among 11 guest cabins. A crew of 28 shares 15 cabins. Built by Benetti SpA in Livorno, Italy, maximum speed is 21 knots but cruising speed 16 knots. It’ll hold 96,000 gallons of fuel, good for a range of 6500 nautical miles. You can outrun your entire constituency in this.

Length: 351 feet Asking price (last year): $264 million

We’re not sure the price of Luminosity this year , but it has 12 cranes for lifting various smaller boats onto and off of the main superstructure, so it's probably worth it. There’s a separate jet ski garage, of course, and inside there are (not kidding) 264 white magnolia flowers on the main saloon wall that “silently open and close as a person passes through.” The opening lines of the novel Moby Dick are etched in the roof pillars of one floor. And a “sinuous configuration of hand-forged steel, polished to a mirror, encloses a thousand Bohemian crystal bulbs to illuminate the main lounge.” And to keep things totally pleasant at anchor, a three mega-watt lithium-polymer battery bank gives 12 hours of power when the generators switch off. Oh man.

Length: 312 feet Asking price at MYS: $198 million

Yes, it is over 300 feet long and stickers for almost 200 mill , but Kismet was built way back in 2014. Perhaps you can deal with that, perhaps not. But you will get a splendid yacht that sleeps either 12 guests in seven cabins or 16 guests in eight cabins, the sales page claims both. Crew size is 28. The master stateroom features direct access to the yacht’s helipad, should you spot insurrectionists approaching and need to beat a hasty retreat, sans staff and guests.

Length: 279 feet Asking price at MYS: $147 million

We now drop down to yachts of only 200 feet or larger, so readjust your cravat and grab another martini. Victorious was just finished at Turkish builders AK Yachts. Previous pictures show a large, round helicopter landing pad at the bow, which seems to have been removed in favor of a forward sun deck. It gives the boat a spear-like lunging profile, which maybe you'd like, in case you have to spear the yachts of your rivals. At 279 feet, it's the fourth-biggest thing in the water at Monaco this year.

Length: 278 feet Cost to build: $100 million

Bold could refer to the approach to design with this gigayacht. It looks almost militaristic. Yet it sleeps 16 guests and 21 crew. Bold belongs to German businessman Guido Krass, who also owns a Cessna Citation 525 in case you were wondering. He is also the founder of Silver Yachts, the company that made Bold. Superyachtnews.com quoted him as saying, “I always have one boat in use, one boat in build and one boat in the design and engineering phase.” I want to party with this dude.

Length: 263 feet Cost to build: $100 million

Tatiana is reportedly owned by the former head of Tata Group, Cyrus Pallonji Mistry, so there's your automotive connection. Cost to build this beauty of the high seas is listed on internet sources at $100 million. You can charter it for $775,000 a week.

Length: 213 feet Asking price: n/a

Zazou was only recently finished by Benetti SpA in Livorno, Italy. Livorno is fast becoming our favorite place. They make some of the world's largest private yachts. It is Benetti that is exhibiting Zazou in Monaco, not a yacht broker, as near as we can tell. Yet asking price is not obviously listed anywhere that we could find. Time for the old adage, “If you have to ask...”

Length: 207 feet Asking price: $211 million

11/11 was built way back in 2015, practically ancient times by gigayachting standards. If the $211 million asking price is too much, you can charter it for $763,000 a week . In the summer you’ll find it in the Mediterranean, in the winter it’ll be cruising the Caribbean, Bahamas, and Central and South America. It’ll hold 12 guests, or about your entire cabinet and more. When your latest fiscal reform policy goes south, you can go south, too!

Length: 202 feet Asking price at MYS: $69 million

With the latest-generation of diesel-electric engines, this is another yacht with a small(er) carbon footprint. That’s what the owners tell themselves, anyway. Cloud 9 holds 12 passengers and 13 crew.

U-Boat Worx Nemo Submarine

Length: 5 feet Price: $1 million+

U-Boat Worx makes all kinds of these cool little mini-subs. The entry-level model is the Nemo, meant for stowing on your gigayacht to keep the kids entertained or to dive for treasure in pirate shipwrecks. Or to make a Bond-villain escape. Nemo can reach 330 feet and run for up to eight hours.

The 6 biggest yachts at the Monaco Grand Prix

Published on May 29, 2022 at 12:00PM (UTC+4)

• by Patrick Jackson

Last updated on Jul 19, 2022 at 3:52PM (UTC+4)

Ah, Monaco – a billionaires’ playground, and host to one of the most thrilling races on the F1 calendar, the Monaco Grand Prix.

With the city-state being right by the water, many wealthy folks opt to watch the race not from the grandstands but from their yacht .

And the average person can too as one-day rentals are available for as little as a few hundred dollars.

But we’re dreaming of watching it from one of the bad boys that made this list.

These are the six biggest yachts attending the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix – all 80 meters (262 feet) and above!

By the way, make sure you don’t miss a race by checking our 2022 Formula 1 calendar .

6. Grace – 81m (265.7ft)

Originally called Kibo , the yacht was sold in 2018 to businessman John Reece and renamed Grace in 2018.

Built in 2014 by Abeking & Rasmussen, the yacht is a regular in the waters of Monaco.

There’s plenty of room on her tiered decks to watch the F1 cars lapping Monaco’s streets all weekend.

When the racing is done, there are plenty of amenities to enjoy as well, with the yacht hosting a beach club, grand piano and even an elevator.

5. Secret – 82m (269ft)

Another Abeking & Rasmussen build, Secret stands out even on the waters of Monaco with her Sam Sorgiovanni-styled exterior.

It even has its own elevator for nice added touch of luxury.

There are sure to be plenty of eyes on Secret as the yacht is currently for sale as well.

Offered through Burgess Yachts , she could be yours for $84.4 million.

4. Man of Steel – 86m (282.1ft)

Man of Steel made headlines last year as the second-most expensive yacht sale in 2021, changing hands for a whopping $150 million.

Previously, she was called Seven Seas and belonged to none other than film director Steven Spielberg.

The 2022 Monaco Grand Prix is the first major event she will appear at following the sale.

She’ll be moored right in the heart of Port Hercules, where her new owner, steel baron Barry Zekelman, can soak up the action from her lower swimming pool or upper deck jacuzzi.

3. Cloud 9 – 89m (292ft)

Another recent sale, Cloud 9 changed hands just earlier this year, making the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix her first event after renaming as well.

Originally called Infinity , the sale price was withheld.

However, Cloud 9 is available to charter for a cool $1.2 million A WEEK!

With an onboard pool and plenty of lounging areas on her multiple decks, there’s plenty of space to watch the F1 from.

2. Lionheart – 90m (295.3ft)

The flagship from Italian builder Benetti, Lionheart is a regular in the waters of Monaco, with her home base in Port Hercules.

Spending most of the time cruising the French and Italian rivieras, she’s currently sat at the end of Quai Rainier.

Owned by Topshop owner Sir Philip Green, Lionheart is worth an estimated $150 million.

1. Tatoosh – 92m (301.8ft)

The biggest yacht that will be at the 2022 Monaco Grand Prix, Tatoosh is currently listed for sale for $96.7 million.

The only 300-footer on this list, she was finished in 2000 by German shipyard Nobiskrug.

Curiously, Tatoosh features bulletproof windows, along with a waterfront diving platform and a swimming pool of course.

Unquestionably, this will be the most imposing and one of the most recognisable yachts attending the Monaco F1 Grand Prix.

Coming in second place at 317 feet long is the Faith, owned by Canadian fashion entrepreneur Lawrence Stroll, whose son Lance drives for the Aston Martin F1 team. Lawrence Stroll’s net worth is $2.9 billion, Forbes reported .

Feadship superyacht FAITH in the South of France!🇫🇷 Anchored here last Friday in the South of France and spotted recently in Villefranche-sur-Mer is one of the largest Feadships delivered to date, the 97m Faith, launched as Project Vertigo in 2016. pic.twitter.com/QZBAcP2EcY — Yacht Informer (@yachtinformer) May 23, 2022

The yacht came with a US$200 million price tag. It can host up to 18 guests and has nine staterooms, according to Yacht Bible . It has indoor and outdoor fireplaces in the private owner’s deck, a movie theatre, gym, a wine cellar and a wellness area.

The nearly 100-year-old annual race is expected to see some showers over the next couple of days, though it’s not expected to deter the floating party scene. More than 80 super yachts, at a combined length of 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles), are already clustered off the tiny city-state in the French Riviera, with more likely en route.

The superyacht world was thrown into turmoil following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions placed on billionaire Russian oligarchs.

More than a dozen yachts worth over US$2.25 billion have already been seized. The seizures have sent the luxury vessels racing across oceans to locales that aren’t as likely to impose or enforce sanctions. Some have logged more than 5,000 nautical miles since the start of the invasion in February.

One of the biggest superyachts, Eclipse, owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abromavich, is 533 feet and would have towered over Lee-Chin’s vessel; however, it was notably absent in Monaco.

One of the first yachts seized, Dilbar , owned by another Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov, would have also towered over the other vessels in Monaco, at 512 feet. It was impounded by German authorities while it was undergoing repairs, Page Six reported in March. Since then, other yachts and even private jets owned by Russians with connections to President Vladimir Putin have been seized.

The absence of Russian superyachts pushed the two Canadians into the lead for largest yacht — although the country with the most was Greece, closely followed by the United States and France. Russia did not make Bloomberg’s superyacht leaderboard .

Countdown to Monaco: The 5 Biggest Charter Yachts Attending the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

By Katie Scott   20 September 2023

Preparing for the latest edition of the iconic Monaco Yacht Show , some of the most impressive luxury yacht charters on the market are set to descend upon the French principality and make a statement for being one of the largest yachts in attendance.

Annually hosting around 600 exhibitors, Port Hercule comes to life as one of the biggest yachting events in the South of France brings the community together to celebrate some of the most magnificent motor yachts on the current market. Operating on a badge system, visitors to the show enjoy a tailor-made experience that is paired off nicely with the indulgent Sapphire VIP program.

However, like any yacht show, the main attraction is the yachts themselves, and this year there are some staggering charter yachts on display at the esteemed show. Ranging in the 90m+ sector, Lurssen, Feadship and Golden Yachts offer some real showstoppers that offer abundant inspiration for your next France yacht charter .

CARINTHIA VII

Indulging in a refit this year, Lurssen's luxury superyacht CARINTHIA VII is an impressive sight to behold with plenty of standout features and captivating designs from British designer Tim Heywood Design.

Offering an abundance of space and a multitude of key highlights such as a beauty salon, spa, elevator, underwater lights, beach club, and gym, there are a lot of reasons why this striking motor yacht would be an ideal partner for an incredible Mediterranean yacht charter .

Boasting an eight-cabin layout, this 97m (318ft) luxury charter yacht is the biggest charter attending the Monaco Yacht Show at the docks, so she is one not to be missed.

Measuring up at 90m (295ft), luxury charter yacht P HOENIX 2  from Lurssen is a striking superyacht with collaborative input on the interiors from Andrew Winch Designs.

A hub for entertainment, PHOENIX 2 features a magical main salon complete with a chandelier and a grand piano, plus an indulgent cinema room, in addition to other key features like a 7.5m sun deck swimming pool, a beautiful winter garden dining area, and top-of-the-range spa facilities.

With a seven-cabin layout, PHOENIX 2 is spacious and opulent, providing all charter guests with an outstanding onboard experience. 

Feadship's charter favorite SAVANNAH ranks as the fourth largest luxury yacht charter attending Monaco this year and offers an indulgent six-cabin layout for up to 12 charter guests.

With a length of 84m (275ft), this luxury charter made her name as the world's first hybrid superyacht with an array of impressive features including an underwater lounge and multiple swimming pools.

An outstanding pedigree yacht that delivers on all fronts, SAVANNAH is a high-demand superyacht and definitely worth a close up inspection at the forthcoming yacht show.

Offering 78m (255.9ft) of indulgent superyacht, luxury charter O'REA from Golden Yachts  is a brand new 2023 build with exquisite indoor/outdoor living and an elaborate layout of eight cabins and many premium facilities. 

With an elevator connecting all decks, charter guests can make the most of the voluminous spaces onboard with an inviting pool and a well-appointed wellness zone, including beach club and sauna, setting the stage for a relaxing charter vacation around Mediterranean favorites like Ibiza .

Topped off with an on-deck Jacuzzi and Wi-Fi connectivity charter guests can be assured of amazing trips time after time.

New in 2022, the striking blue hull of charter yacht KENSHO will also be making a splash at this year's Monaco Yacht Show. Built by Admiral Yachts and with a length of 75m (246ft), KENSHO is just as enticing on the inside as she is from the outside with a host of features prepared to deliver exceptional charter voyages around the world.

Offering outstanding highlights such as a vast beach club featuring a stunning glass-sided swimming pool and a spacious eight-cabin layout for up to 12 charter guests, there's a lot to see and do onboard KENSHO, and that's before you see her impressive collection of water toys.

In addition to the five biggest charter yachts in the show, charter yacht AHPO will be at anchor out in the Monaco bay and availlable for select viewings via tender. Boasting a striking length of 115m (377.7ft), she is a force to be reckoned with and is fully equipped to provide the most captivating luxury yacht charter vacations.

Hosting an expansive beach club, a plethora of wellness facilities, a top-of-the-range gym, helideck, and an outstanding owner's duplex among other key highlights, there are a lot of reasons to choose AHPO as the ideal charter yacht year after year.

Previously breaking records as the largest yacht to attend the Monaco Yacht Show in a decade, this incredible motor yacht is one not to be missed.

The largest yachts racing at Monaco Classic Week

A staple on the yachting calendar since 1994, Monaco Classic Week is back for a three-day parade of some of the finest classic superyachts. Taking place from 13 to 16 September, the biennial event invites owners and crew of classic yachts or faithful replicas to Port Hercule for three days of celebrating sailing yachts (and motor yachts) of yore, combining racing with a glamorous social programme. BOAT International delves into the heritage behind the largest sailing yachts participating this year...

Length: 69.3m Year: 1903

Superyacht owner Ed Kastelein, who has a longstanding passion for recreating classic racing yachts, triumphantly relaunched Atlantic in 2010 with an identical sail plan to the 1903 vessel and original lines by Van der Graaf . The three-masted schooner was commissioned by New York Yacht Club member Wilson Marshall and initially hit the headlines in 1905 when she was crowned the transatlantic Kaiser’s Cup winner. Here, she set the record for the transatlantic speed record – covering a staggering 341 miles in 24 hours with an average speed of 14.1 knots – a title which she safeguarded until 1998. As a result, she is the object of many sailing enthusiast's affection and is the type of vessel purchased as a scale model. Kastelein, however, went the extra mile and built a full replica of her.

Length: 40.55m Year: 1899

Black Swan started life as Brynhild with a yawl rig, built in 1899 at Camper and Nicholson in England with design by Charles Nicholson . She was the leader of the pack in a number of races at the beginning of the 20th century, including the King's Cup, and has undergone several changes and different rig configurations over the years. At one point, she was renamed Changrilla , but was renamed Black Swan in the 1960s. Today, she carries a gaff rig after an extensive restoration project at the Beconcini yard in La Spezia, Italy.

Length: 65.3m Year: 1927

Built by Camper & Nicholsons and delivered in 1927, Creole is the largest wooden sailing yacht in the world and now sails under the loving stewardship of the Gucci family. The behemoth was launched as Vira by Camper & Nicholsons in 1927 for US carpet manufacturer Alexander Smith Cochran. By the time Maurizio Gucci bought the vessel in 1983, she was badly in need of another passionate and wealthy yachtsman to pamper her – a call to which Gucci answered with his penchant for gilded glamour. Now, the big, stylish boat sails like a dream with Allegra Gucci at the helm. Despite being the scion of a fashion dynasty, she is also a serious sailor and is often spotted aboard the deck during races, or getting involved at the shipyard when on land.

Elena of London

Length: 55m Year: 2009

The 55-metre sailing yacht Elena is based on original 1910 drawings by designer Nathanael G. Herreshoff . The original Elena was commissioned by Morton Plant, who wanted a schooner “that can win”. She certainly delivered, thanks to her deep keel to improve windward ability, going on to be a major contender amongst the cream of the American schooner fleet and emerging as champion in the 1928 King's Cup Transatlantic Race. The 2009 yacht is a replica of the same name, still boasting several wins under her keel including at the Monaco Classic Week and Les Voiles de St Tropez. 

Hallowe'en

Length: 24.69m Year: 1926

Launched in 1926 and built by Fife , Hallowe'en was set apart from other gaff-rigged racers of her time as a Bermudan cutter. Her owners continued to experiment with her rig and eventually, she was transformed into a yawl, going on to spend many years racing the Mediterranean and the Atlantic before falling off the radar. Walter Wheeler later discovered her and renamed her Cotton Blosson IV, where she continued her history of ocean racing before being donated to the Classic Boat Museum in Rhode Island. Her refit spanned five years and, just before funds dried up, she was rescued from the scrap heap by Elizabeth Meyer, the woman behind the restoration of  J Class Endeavour , who helped find a buyer to restore her to her former glory.

Length : 39m Year : 2013

Naema is a modern classic, designed by Olivier F. van Meer and based on an Alfred Mylne schooner named Panda that sank following a fire in 1983. The topsail schooner was built at Graafship in Turkey and underwent a significant refit in 2014 which saw her plumbing, engines and technical equipment removed and replaced. She is a regatta regular, having competed at The Superyacht Cup, The Candy Store Cup and the Inaugural Capri Classica. Naema is fitted with Harken electric winches and a comprehensive sail wardrobe that includes a 219-square-metre main sail.

O'Remington

Length : 28.6m Year : 1946

Built by Cantiere di Donna as a wine transport vessel, this two-masted schooner was purchased by Lord Remington in 1958 on the advice of friend and influential filmmaker Federico Fellini. Maria Del Mar became the O’Remington , a legendary hub for artists of the French New Wave artists and the Italian aristocracy. Following the death of Lord Remington, several restorations (carried out by shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis and fashion designer Alberta Ferretti) and a stint as a charter boat in Sudan, O’Remington was forgotten in Genoa Port where it suffered from gradual decline. She was redeemed by new owners in 2017, went through several years of renovation and refitting, and is now back among her peers on the Croisette.

Length : 26m Year : 1890

Bridgette Bardot once graced the decks of this Thetis Ware gaff-rigged yawl. Brought back to her former glory after an extensive restoration in Spain (1997-1999), Sky has competed in various regattas across the Mediterranean and boasts a top speed of 14 knots. A further comprehensive refit was carried out from 2008 to 2014 which saw new sails equipped, all systems modernised and 27 of her oak frames replaced.

Length : 28.7m Year : 1909

Built by William Fife for the Duke of Medinacelli, friend to the King of Spain, Tuiga was designed identically to the King’s yacht Hispania so that they could race on equal terms. After collecting a string of second places, rumours spread that the Duke was holding back so as not to embarrass the King. The first 15-metre to be restored at Fairlie , Tuiga has been owned by the Monaco Yacht Club since 1993 and is often skippered by Pierre Casiraghi, son of Princess Caroline of Hanover.

The Lady Anne

Length : 23.4m Year : 1912

Sistership to Tuiga , The Lady Anne was built for Baron George Coats of Glasgow who, at the time of his death, was one of the wealthiest men in Scotland. Commissioned in a bid to recover the coveted 15 Metre Cup from the Germans, Coats’ dreams were dashed by Charles Nicholson , who was drafting his revolutionary Marconi gaff-rig at the same time The Lady Anne was being built. She would end up adopting Nicholson’s rig only two years later.

Length : 33.5m Year : 1939

Iduna was delivered in 1939 and remained the largest yacht to leave the Dutch shipyard until 1960. Today, she remains a shining Feadship example. Her most notable restoration was led by Dutchman Johan van den Bruele in 1999 and he was determined to preserve as much of the original vessel as possible, including the main mast, skylights, deck saloon, compass, anchor winch and steering wheel. Any other parts were built using traditional boatbuilding methods to align with her authentic look.

Length : 24.08m Year : 1938

Delivered as a Bermudan yawl in 1938, Mariella has a 28-metre mainmast and she flies 279 square metres of sail. Carlo Falcone, proprietor of the Antigua Yacht Club Marina, was the owner for many years and she has participated in many regattas on both sides of the Atlantic. She is regularly spotted at classic races like the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta and Les Voiles de Saint Tropez.

Length :  27.6m Year : 1908

Mariska was delivered in 1908 as a J Class racing yacht – helped by her fine lines, narrow beam, deep keel and sweeping overhangs. She earned her spurs by emerging as champion in a number of races, including the 1911 Cowes Regatta. More recently, in 2007, a new owner began a complete restoration, where she was taken back to bare timbers and carefully rebuilt, spanning two years and 25,000 man-hours. She has gone from strength to strength on the classic regatta circuit, winning the Giraglia, Puerto Sherry, San Remo and St Tropez classic regattas in 2016.

Palm Beach International Boat Show returns to West Palm Beach waterfront

The Palm Beach International Boat Show returns this week with more nearly 1,000 vessels on display, including super yachts from around the world.

Tickets are on sale now for the show that runs March 21-24 along the West Palm Beach waterfront.

The show, which started in 1982, has grown to a major economic engine for the community, with last year's impact estimated at $1.05 billion statewide — nearly as much as the $1.3 billion Miami International Boat Show, said Alyssa Freeman, executive director of the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County, which owns the boat show.

"Palm Beach is really not that far behind Miami, and Miami is the biggest in the world," Freeman said. "That was really exciting."

This year's boat show features an expanded Super Yacht Show at Palm Harbor Marina, showcasing yachts that typically stretch longer than 80 feet and have a variety of luxurious amenities that include hot tubs, crew quarters, dance floors and sun decks.

"We have more super yachts there than we ever have before, and they're even bigger," Freeman said, noting that at 236 feet, the vessel Casino Royale takes the title of largest yacht at this year's show. The title of "most expensive yacht" goes to Come Together, a 196-foot vessel priced at $59.95 million.

"Everybody, when they think about super yachts, they think about Monaco and Miami, but Palm Beach is a real player in these boat shows and the yachting world," Freeman said.

Exhibitors continue to be drawn to the Palm Beach International Boat Show by the opportunity for high sales year after year when compared with other South Florida boat shows, she said.

"I've heard from several of them, this is their favorite show to attend," Freeman said, "And that's why, because their sales are higher at Palm Beach."

The show continues to make headway in improving its sustainability efforts, she said. After reducing single-use plastics, a major change this year is the addition of water bottle refilling stations throughout the show, Freeman said.

"I think that's exciting because everybody's talking about sustainability and how we can be more sustainable," she said. "Every year, we take little steps to be more sustainable."

Freeman said she is excited for this year's AquaZone presented by Nautical Ventures. The attraction showcases some of the "yacht toys" that are new or popular on the market.

"It's so cool, because there are people actually in the water demoing yacht toys, and it's usually the latest and greatest," she said. "There's always something new every year that we've never seen before."

The Palm Beach International Boat Show also features a range of seminars, demonstrations and discussions throughout the weekend, including mental health in yachting, tips to boat to the Bahamas, safe boating to protect sea turtles and how to address active threats and piracy.

Freeman, who has children, said she loves the Kids Fishing Clinics scheduled for noon and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday with captain Don Dingman.

"Captain Don has been doing this for years, and he does a fantastic job," Freeman said. "The kids actually get to go home with a free rod and reel once the clinic is over."

The association produces the Palm Beach International Boat Show with Informa Markets' U.S. Boat Shows division.

"As we gear up for the 2024 Palm Beach International Boat Show, we are excited for our return to Downtown West Palm Beach to celebrate the rich history of this esteemed event," Andrew Doole, president of U.S. Boat Shows at Informa Markets, said in a news release. "Each year, we’re grateful for the warm welcome and support from the community, which truly makes this event a highlight on the calendar for both residents and visitors alike."

Informa also produces the Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary art show happening March 21-24, at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. A Windward VIP ticket to the boat show includes admission to the art show as well.

In addition to serving as a cornerstone festival of spring in West Palm Beach, the boat show launched the Palm Beach International Boat Show Gives Back program to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions to local nonprofits, Freeman said.

The grant program had a soft launch last year and formalized the boat show's four-decade practice of giving back to the community, Freeman said.

"We're really excited about it," said Freeman, who added that the boat show team is working with the Community Foundation to manage the grant program, which they hope to grow. "That's something that's a super high priority for us."

Money raised through a portion of the boat show's ticket sales, optional add-ons and some related activities goes toward the fund.

The boat show in February announced that the first round of grants totaling $500,000 would go to 25 nonprofits that have marine-related programs or projects, including Florida Fishing Academy, Loggerhead Marinelife Center, Florida Atlantic University, Inlet Grove High School, Palm Beach State College, Sea Turtle Adventures and Friends of Manatee Lagoon.

"We're hoping one day we'll be able to say that it's a million dollars," she said. "So fingers crossed. It relies on the success of the boat show and the support of the community. With that, we will continue to grow."

When: Noon to 7 p.m. March 21, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. March 22 and 23, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. March 24.
