With more than 100 superyachts gathered in Port Hercule, the Monaco Yacht Show is not short of extravagant boats.

This year’s fleet includes 43 yachts delivered in 2026, with new arrivals ranging from 79 ft to Lürssen’s 336-ft Nixie. Among the established names and brokerage listings are a handful of yachts that caught our eye – whether making their world debut, appearing at a yacht show for the first time, or arriving into the Principality fresh from a major rebuild. 

Best yachts at Monaco Yacht Show 2026

Leviathan, Oceanco
Measuring 364 ft, Leviathan is the largest yacht in the Monaco Yacht Show 2026 fleet. Delivered in 2025, the diesel-electric yacht is making its first appearance at the Principality, with Oceanco presenting it as an example of a different approach to yacht ownership and operation. Designed in collaboration with Lateral and interiors by Mark Berryman Design, the yacht was developed around a philosophy of community and collaboration, while its role in the Inkfish fleet gives it a role in marine exploration beyond the usual private-yacht remit.

Nixie, Lürssen
At 336 ft, Nixie is the second-largest yacht at MYS 2026 and the largest new delivery presented at the show. Delivered in June following a five-year build, British yacht design firm RWD handled both the exterior and interior design, with a long, low profile and extensive curved glazing across five decks. Among the more eye-catching features are a glass-bottomed pool and a beach club with four sea terraces that measures over 2,900 sq ft.

Draak, Oceanco
Draak isn’t a new-build – the 305-ft yacht was originally delivered by Oceanco in 2014 – but it is debuting at Monaco having undergone a comprehensive rebuild in 2026. Previously known as Equanimity and Tranquility, Draak has been adapted to support scientific research and marine exploration as a companion vessel to Leviathan. The two yachts are designed to operate together, with Draak providing additional capabilities for extended research and expedition missions.

Angelique, Turquoise Yachts
Making its public debut at MYS, Angelique is Turquoise Yachts’ new flagship, and at 288 ft, it’s the largest yacht the Turkish shipyard – and, in fact, the country – has completed to date. H2 Yacht Design is responsible for both exterior and interior design, and the five-deck yacht has 2,646 gross tonnage. It puts a considerable amount of emphasis on entertainment and wellness, with a large swimming pool, multiple outdoor entertaining areas, and a helipad that can be converted for other uses.

Pangea, Amels / Damen Yachting
Pangea is the first Amels 80 and the first yacht in the series to be presented at a yacht show. Delivered in 2025, Espen Øino designed the exterior, with Sinot responsible for the interiors, building the 262-ft, 2,200 gross-ton yacht around long-range cruising rather than simply maximizing time in port. Highlights include a 2,150-sq-ft sun deck, a 21-ft glass-bottomed pool above the beach club, and a forward-facing owner’s suite with its own Jacuzzi.

Silver Fox, Sanlorenzo
Launched in 2025 and delivered in 2026, Sanlorenzo’s Silver Fox is making its world premiere at Monaco. The first yacht in Sanlorenzo’s 74Steel series, Silver Fox measures 241 ft and is the shipyard’s largest yacht to date. While the scale marks a significant departure for Sanlorenzo, the yacht remains recognizably restrained in its approach to design, with Zuccon International Project handling the exterior. 

Sea Raider X, ISA Yachts / Palumbo Superyachts
Sea Raider X is the new flagship of ISA Yachts and the first yacht in its Gran Turismo 67M series, making its world premiere at Monaco. Measuring 218 ft, the yacht takes a distinctly sportier approach with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, with styling by Vallicelli Design Studio. Inside, Team for Design’s Enrico Gobbi has created a more residential environment, with the aft section organized around a 21-ft panoramic pool, fold-down terraces, and a beach club that expands once the tender is launched.

Dagger, Benetti
Dagger, the latest in Benetti’s B.Now series, is making its Monaco Yacht Show debut this year, and is one of the show’s more technically interesting new arrivals. The 220-ft yacht is the fourth in the series and one of its hybrid units, combining conventional engines, generators, and batteries in a modular propulsion system. RWD designed the exterior, while Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design created the interiors. The Oasis Deck remains the focal point aft, with fold-down side wings extending the space toward the water.

Simena, Ares Yachts
At 203 ft, Simena is the largest sailing yacht within the Monaco Yacht Show fleet. Delivered in 2026, the ketch-rigged yacht is the flagship of Ares Yachts and the Turkish builder’s first superyacht in the 60m-plus category. Designed by Taka Yacht Design with interiors by Design Unlimited, it combines a steel hull with a carbon-composite superstructure and hybrid propulsion. A 194-ft mainmast carries a 5,059-sq-ft mainsail, while a 220kW electric motor allows near-silent cruising at up to eight knots, giving the yacht a stated range of 6,000 nautical miles.

Sairu, Riva / Ferretti Group
The largest Riva ever built, Sairu – the Riva 54Metri – represents a considerable jump in scale for the Italian builder. Despite measuring 180 ft, being built entirely in aluminum, and coming in at just under 500 gross tons, rather than attempting to disguise the yacht’s size, the design by Officina Italiana Design in collaboration with Ferretti Group uses the extra volume to create broad living areas across the decks. 

Kinda II, Baglietto
The first yacht in Baglietto’s new T60 series, and the largest vessel the shipyard has built to date, Kinda II makes its world premiere in Monaco alongside the first FAST50. Measuring 199 ft, the yacht was designed inside and out by Francesco Paszkowski Design, working with Margherita Casprini on the interiors, while naval architecture comes from Pierluigi Ausonio Naval Architecture. The yacht is designed around a more fluid relationship between inside and outside. Its T60 platform also supports an optional hybrid propulsion system, including electric cruising at lower speeds.
