The Monaco show remains the place to be whether you’re looking to step onboard this year’s finest superyacht offerings or discover the most innovative and tailor-made products and services that make luxury yachting the ultimate art of life.”

    The Monaco Yacht Show was indeed bigger and better than ever before! For me as a photographer and journalist it was incredible to see the development of the yacht sector in the last years. Moreover the beauty of the motives stays unforgettable.

    I would like to give my compliments to the organizers who really did their utmost to let the exhibitors present themselves at their best and make it a unique experience for the visitors.
