Most visitors traveling from outside the French Riviera fly into Nice International Airport. From there, you can transfer to Monaco by private car, which typically takes around 30 minutes but may vary depending on traffic, or by helicopter, which takes approximately 7 minutes.
The Monaco Yacht Show can easily be explored on foot, with most areas located within Port Hercule. To assist visitors, the show also provides complimentary electric golf carts to shuttle between different exhibition areas from 10:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (until 6:00 p.m. on Saturday). Shuttle boats operate on the same schedule, offering transfers between the various docks. For Sapphire Experience, Discover, and Yacht Owner pass holders, courtesy cars are available to move between the show and Monaco, departing from Boulevard Albert Ier (opposite the Upper Deck Lounge entrance) and the Quai Chicane entrance. This service also runs from 10:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (until 6:00 p.m. on Saturday). In addition, IYC provides private cars for its clients, as well as tenders to reach yachts at anchor.
It's okay to take photos and videos within the show grounds, including exhibition tents and quaysides. When boarding a yacht, it is best to ask permission before filming or taking photos. The use of drones is not permitted at the show.
While you may be viewing yachts as potential purchases or charters, remember that you are a guest on board. Always respect the yacht and follow the crew’s instructions. Viewings should be scheduled in advance with a broker; if you do not have an appointment, ask permission before stepping aboard. Guests are expected to remove their shoes when boarding, and it is best not to use the yacht’s facilities during visits. It is also recommended to be discreet and avoid asking personal questions about the yacht’s owner. If you are accompanied by children, please ensure they remain under close supervision at all times.
The Monaco Yacht Show is divided into sections to help visitors navigate according to their interests. The Dockside Area is the main section, where yachts are berthed for viewing. The show also hosts seminars and events on technology, sustainability, and design trends. The Adventure Area features exhibitors presenting the latest yacht toys and gadgets. The Upper Deck Lounge, reserved for Sapphire Pass holders, offers hospitality and showcases complementary luxury sectors such as aviation, art, and high-end goods. New this year, the Blue Wake programme highlights innovations focused on reducing the environmental impact of yachting.
During the Monaco Yacht Show, several yachts available for sale and charter are anchored nearby and open for viewings. To arrange your transfer and schedule a yacht viewing, simply contact an IYC broker, who will assist you throughout the process and accompany you onboard. IYC operates a fleet of tenders, with service available daily from 10:00 a.m., when the show opens, until 6:00 p.m.
While there is no formal dress code at the Monaco Yacht Show, comfortable and practical yet elegant attire is recommended for the warm September weather on the Riviera. Light, breathable fabrics are ideal for walking the docks and touring yachts throughout the day. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, as most yacht viewings require removing footwear. To stay comfortable in the sun, don’t forget simple essentials such as a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
The weather in Monaco at the end of September is generally warm and sunny, with daytime temperatures averaging in the mid-20s°C (mid-70s°F). While conditions are usually pleasant, occasional rain showers are possible.
