Monaco Yacht Show 2025 Put Sustainable Systems Centre Stage

The 2025 **Monaco Yacht Show** brought together the full superyacht ecosystem at Port Hercule, combining a major fleet display with design, technology, ownership and sustainability programmes. The official show report records 120 superyachts in the Dockside Area, including 50 new 2025 models and 20 yachts launched in 2024. Nearly 60 percent of the displayed fleet was less than two years old, giving owners and advisers a concentrated view of the newest design and engineering solutions in operation. A central development was the launch of Blue Wake, a programme created with the Water Revolution Foundation. Fifty-nine exhibitors were selected for eco-responsible solutions ranging from hydrogen propulsion and alternative fuels to recyclable materials and circular construction practices. The associated awards recognised projects in propulsion, materials, low-carbon fuels and recyclable yacht structures. The owner journey extended beyond the docks. The Monaco Yacht Summit included eight round tables, a dedicated Becoming an Owner session and twenty expert talks. Designers, technical specialists, brokers and shipyards addressed acquisition, new-build strategy, technology and the environmental transition. With 29,956 visitors, the 34th edition reinforced Monaco’s role as a decision-making venue rather than only a display event. For prospective owners, the show’s value lies in comparing complete teams and technical approaches in one place before committing to acquisition, construction or refit.
