Upcoming Monaco Yacht Show to host Guillaume Plisson Exhibition

As part of its ongoing mission to create an ever-richer experience, the Monaco Yacht Show will unveil “Tribute to Yachting”, a striking photographic exhibition by acclaimed French photographer Guillaume Plisson.

This new cultural highlight deepens the Show’s commitment to blending innovation with emotion, inviting visitors to discover the world of yachting through an artistic lens that captures its elegance, spirit, and hidden stories.

The exhibition will be revealed in a private preview during the MYS Grand Opening Night, offering invited guests an exclusive glimpse of the journey that will unfold across the Show.

TRIBUTE TO YACHTING Photographic exhibition by Guillaume Plisson

From September 24 to 27, 2025, 100 large-scale photographs will be displayed throughout Port Hercule, seamlessly integrated into the Show’s vibrant atmosphere. Positioned as visual landmarks, these works will offer visitors quiet moments of pause and reflection amid the energy of the docks.

“With ‘Tribute to Yachting,’ we’re giving the Monaco Yacht Show a new dimension,” says Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of MYS. “It’s an invitation to look beyond technology and prestige, to rediscover yachting through the emotions it evokes—wonder, fascination, and human connection. Partnering with Guillaume Plisson allows us to celebrate the soul of yachting: the stories, the dreams, and the beauty that lie beneath the surface.”

Plisson’s work reveals the many faces of yachting: the precision of its design, the quiet grace of its movements, and the promise of a lifestyle that inspires.

“This exhibition was born from a shared desire with the Monaco Yacht Show: to offer an artistic and emotional perspective on the world of yachting. But none of this would have been possible without the concrete and steadfast support of the entire industry. Owners, shipyards, designers, crews… All contributed to making these images possible. By granting access to the yachts, sharing moments at sea, and allowing room for the intuition of my gaze, they have helped build, year after year, a visual memory of contemporary yachting. With the MYS, this exhibition was conceived as a condensed retrospective of this photographic journey—to reveal the diversity, emotions, and richness of a world often elusive—and as a grateful tribute to all those who embody the universe of yachting.”

Far more than a gallery of photographs, “Tribute to Yachting” invites visitors to see beyond the yachts themselves—into the passion, craftsmanship, and vision that bring them to life.

By weaving this artistic experience into the Show, the Monaco Yacht Show affirms its core values: excellence, innovation, design, sustainability, and lifestyle. It also answers an industry-wide call—to reignite wonder, spark emotion, and inspire a new generation of yachting enthusiasts.
