Top Marques Monaco is internationally renowned as a launch pad for ground-breaking supercars and now a growing number of shipyards are also choosing the show to unveil their latest state-of-the-art models.
This year, no less than two superboat world premieres will be unveiled at Top Marques Monaco, a show which is fast becoming seen as the most exclusive tender show in the world.
• Making its first ever global appearance at Top Marques is the World Premiere Fjord 36 by Fjord France.
• Also to be launched as a world premiere is Aquilia, a stunning yacht by Italian shipyard I.C. Yacht.
• Largest collection of luxury yachts ever to be displayed at Top Marques includes the SACS Marine Strider Abarth Powershore, the ultimate in luxury tenders and the concept tender toy presented by EAMS.
• Top Marques will also showcase a number of exclusive water toys such as the WoKart, the world’s first designer watercraft with a mounted outboard engine and jet surf by Luxury Water Toys.
The 11th edition of Top Marques is being held over the Easter weekend from 17 to 20 April in the award-winning Grimaldi Forum, in the heart of Monaco and this year, the team behind the Superyacht Owners’ Guide and Yachting Pages have been invited to attend the show to explore the synergy between super cars and superyachts.
As a supercar show Top Marques is unique in the fact that VIP visitors can test-drive their dream vehicles on the tracks of the Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit.
This hugely successful USP has been mirrored in the superboat section with guests invited to sea trial the majority of tenders at the show in the picturesque Port of Monaco.
This year, as well as playing host to more than 100 of the most sensational supercars on the planet including Pagani, Mazzanti and Zenvo, Top Marques will present six world-class tenders on the Esplanade outside the Grimaldi Forum.
Meanwhile, back inside in an area known as Luxury Lane, visitors will be able to admire an assortment of water toys designed for the superyacht owner that has everything.
Top Marques Monaco, the title partner of which is the esteemed private banking group Edmond de Rothschild for the second consecutive year, was initially founded as a unique supercar show.
A section dedicated to luxury superboats was incorporated into Top Marques in 2011 due to a growing demand by Top Marques clientele for luxury aquatic products, and it is now one of the most important tender shows in the superboat calendar.
Tickets for the event can already be purchased on the Top Marques Monaco website at www.topmarquesmonaco.com or directly from the Grimaldi Forum www.grimaldiforum.com
For those of you coming from afar, Top Marques Monaco will continue its official partnership in 2014 with Monaco Check In, a service which allows visitors to the show to reserve some of the most exclusive hotels in the world at specially negotiated rates.
Within a short distance from the Grimaldi Forum are a number of first-class hotels such as the Novotel and Columbus Hotels but visitors are urged to reserve soon as rooms are filling up quickly.
