IYC Wraps Another Successful Monaco Yacht Show
The Monaco Yacht Show once again brought the global superyacht community together in Port Hercule, and for IYC, the 2026 edition was a week defined by an exceptional fleet, meaningful conversations, and a packed calendar of meetings, events, and experiences from morning through evening.
With more than 120 superyachts and 560 exhibitors gathered in Monaco for the show’s 35th edition, IYC welcomed clients, partners, yacht owners and industry colleagues across the week, with a premium lineup of yachts on display both in the harbor and at anchor.
An Exceptional Lineup
IYC’s show fleet showcased the breadth of the company’s sales and charter offering, with some of the most distinctive yachts in the show on display.
Among them was the 244' (74.5m) ZEUS, an iconic yacht with a design pedigree spanning Martin Francis and François Zuretti, alongside the 162' (49m) OCEANOS, 156' (48m) ATLANTIS, 143' (43.5m) THIS IS IT, and 123' (37m) MOONEN 122 MARTINIQUE YN208.
Further afield, clients had the opportunity to step aboard the 263' (80m) BATELLO and 145' (44m) HEEUS at anchor, with IYC’s Sales and Charter Consultants coordinating private viewings throughout the week.
Together, the lineup reflected the diversity of yachts available through IYC, from established brokerage opportunities and charter favorites to new-build projects and the latest generation of superyachts.
THE LOUNGE by IYC
At the heart of IYC’s Monaco Yacht Show presence was THE LOUNGE by IYC, which once again proved a popular destination throughout the week.
The invitation-only space offered clients and partners a more private setting away from the pace of the show floor, with meetings, conversations and gatherings taking place throughout the day.
The Lounge also provided the setting for two SuperYacht Times seminars, bringing together leading voices from across the industry. A dedicated wellness discussion explored the evolving role of wellbeing on board, while a market-focused session examined the current state of the superyacht market and key developments shaping the industry.
The latter also provided an opportunity to introduce IYC’s new global partnership with INACE Superyachts, alongside the company’s new investment partnership with Peninsula Capital, marking two significant developments for IYC and its continued global growth.
From Morning Meetings to Evening Events
As always, Monaco Yacht Show week extended well beyond the show floor.
IYC’s calendar began with its traditional pre-show gathering at THE LOUNGE, bringing together the wider IYC team and partners ahead of the official opening. From there, the week moved at full pace, with private banking events, yacht soirées, client gatherings, media engagements and partner events taking place across Monaco.
Highlights included an evening aboard THIS IS IT, a private event aboard BATELLO, the daily Captain’s Breakfast, the launch of the SuperYachtFoodie Adventure TV Series, the Vripack press event and the Captain’s Soirée. The week also saw private bank cocktails aboard THIS IS IT and an evening hosted by SuperyachtOne aboard OCEANOS.
A particularly special moment of the week was an intimate VVIP dinner aboard BATELLO, welcoming just 20 hand-selected guests. The evening featured a bespoke dining experience conceived and prepared by the team behind Delta, the two-Michelin-starred restaurant in Athens, creating an exceptional setting for conversation, connection and hospitality.
Across the four days, IYC’s team moved continuously between the show, yachts, THE LOUNGE and events throughout Monaco, creating opportunities to connect with clients and colleagues in a variety of settings.
A Week Built Around Partnership
The success of the week was also made possible through the continued support of IYC’s network of partners, whose expertise and hospitality helped bring the Monaco program to life.
IYC would like to thank Global Wine Solutions, Vripack, Vilebrequin, Jet Aviation, Lekker, J Craft, Kimberly Pucci, Star Edge, Stilla, Marine Pool, Med Yacht Services, The Macallan, SuperYachtFoodie, YachtEye, GF Entertainment, the Bahamas Tourism Board and A Ultra Antipolis, alongside the many clients, friends and industry colleagues who joined us throughout the week.
Looking Beyond Monaco
For IYC, the Monaco Yacht Show is more than four days on the calendar. It is an opportunity to bring the company’s global network together, strengthen relationships, showcase an exceptional selection of yachts and engage with the conversations shaping the future of the industry.
From the first morning gathering to the final evening event, 2026 was another full, fast-paced Monaco Yacht Show for IYC, and a fitting reflection of the energy, expertise, and relationships that continue to drive the company forward.
