Sail into Monaco

“Nowhere else in the world is it possible to discover such an exceptional selection in a single location, combining the latest constructions from the most renowned shipyards and recently renovated prestige yachts, rigorously chosen by brokers for sale and charter.”

Simena is the largest sailing yacht making her global debut at MYS 205. The 62-metre new flagship from Turkish yard, Ares Yachts, was designed by Taka Yacht Design and was built to RINA Class C in steel-carbon composite. According to designers, its lines evoke a “gentler age of sail”.

Then there’s The Italian Sea Group’s 61.4-metre Katana – a symbol of the rebirth of the Perini Navi brand under The Italian Sea Group.

Built for Gamma Yachts, it combines an aluminium hull with cutting-edge technology, including carbon fibre masts and bowsprit by Southern Spars.

Also among the sailing vessels on show is 38.98-metre Swan 128 from Nautor Swan, which crowns a 40-year collaboration between Germán Frers and Nautor Swan, blending high performance with long-range prestige.

With sleek lines and naval precision, the Swan 128 sets a new benchmark in beauty and integrity.

Exhibited at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025, 36.22-metre wallywind110 exhibited by the Ferretti Group returns to MYS.

The all-carbon hull has been painstakingly optimised by the pre-eminent racing naval architecture studio judel/vrolijk & co, with twin rudders and a choice of keel technologies. Carbon rig, flush decks and a low-profile coachroof add to the impression of speed.

And from YYachts, 23.99-metre Y8. This next-generation yacht has been designed by the esteemed naval architect Javier Jaudenes from Surge-Projects and a distinguished in-house design team.

The interior, designed by renowned Danish designer David Thulstrup, reflects a sophisticated blend of modern and Scandinavian influences. It boasts a saloon of unparalleled size for its class, featuring vertical walls that enhance the sense of space. This architectural feat not only maximises interior volume by 20% compared to its predecessor but also opens up a myriad of layout possibilities.

In the multihull category, there will be new builds from Fountaine Pajot – the 23.99-metre THIRA 80, and Lagoon – the 24.97-metre Eighty 2.

At nearly 24-metres in length, THIRA 80 has the space to deliver the pinnacle of luxury living. The revolutionary addition of two side deck lounges with retractable balconies evokes the glamour of a cruise ship, with the only difference being that this flagship can sail.

The Lagoon Eighty 2 was designed for luxurious on board living. The flybridge of over 50-square-metres offers a breathtaking view of the horizon. Equipped with twin helms and with solar panels, the flybridge can be customised to create a space that reflects its owner’s style.

Inside, there are five cabins plus a crew berth. The owner’s cabin – featuring a king-sized berth and a view of the sea, private terrace, and areas for relaxation – is a true private haven.

At the Sailing Yacht Area, visitors can meet and speak with the experts behind these noteworthy sailing yachts, from builders to designers, who will share their expertise and advise on how to select a vessel to suit your yachting ambitions.

Monaco Yacht Show runs 24 to 27 September 2025.
