Monaco Yacht Show 2021 to go ahead in September

The organisers of the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) have confirmed that 300 exhibitors will be participating this year. They have also announced that nearly 60 superyachts will be exhibited, including 40 brand-new launches by some of the world’s most famous shipyards including Benetti, Feadship, Lürssen and Oceanco. The show will take place from 22^nd to 25^th September.

As announced last February, the show will be focusing on offering superyacht’s end clientele a positively upmarket visiting experience.

The new Dockside Area, a part of the exhibition dedicated to companies directly linked with the construction or management of superyachts and tenders, will therefore be exclusively open to end customers (in possession of a "Discover", "Advise" and "Sapphire Experience" badge) on Wednesday 22^nd September, before opening up to all visitors starting Thursday.

The Dockside Area fits in perfectly with the way Monaco’s Port Hercule is divided up for the show. For several years now, each area of the exhibition has featured its own theme in order to better meet the visitors' expectations.

This year, visitors will be treated to two new exhibitions. The first is dedicated to sailing boats, held on Quai l'Hirondelle, where several crafts will be moored opposite the stands representing their respective shipyards, designers and specialist equipment manufacturers.

In addition to the show’s historic Designer Gallery, the MYS will feature a Yacht Design & Innovation Hub - a new space for the presentation of yacht design projects where visitors can also interact with designers.

These two areas perfectly complement the luxury tender and water toys exhibitions at Tender & Toys (Quai Antoine Ier), in addition to luxury cars at the Car Deck (Quai Antoine Ier), luxury products (Parvis Piscine tent), nautical equipment manufacturers and the latest tech releases (Darse Sud and Quai Albert Ier).

An anti-COVID sanitary protocol will be respected throughout the entire show, from the first day of preparations to the dismantling of the last stand and, of course, during the four days of the show.

Gaëlle Tallarida, general Manager of the exhibition, stated, “We are following the evolution of the pandemic very closely, as well as the sanitary constraints applied in each of our visitors' home countries. As organisers of the exhibition, our responsibility is to ensure safe and healthy conditions for each visitor, exhibitor, service provider and member of staff. The MYS will therefore be following the health measures instated by the principality’s government, as well as the ‘AllSecure’ health security programme, which is mandatory for all Informa Group events.”
