After four days, the 34th Monaco Yacht Show closed another year as a successful showcase for the world’s finest vessels.
The 2025 show featured more than 400 stands and 120 of the world’s most important yachts on display in Port Hercule, ranging from 25-metre classics to 100-metre megayachts.
More than 30,000 visitors attended the 34th edition, first launched in 1991 under the patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II.

During his official visit to the show on 25 September 2025, Prince Albert received a €54,000 donation to support His Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, presented by Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of the Monaco Yacht Show, and Lord Stephen Carter, CEO of Informa Group, the show organiser.
Olivier Wenden, Vice-President and CEO of the Foundation, welcomed this gesture, which is renewed each year.
Since 2010, the Monaco Yacht Show has supported the Foundation's initiatives, notably the Ice Memory project, which aims to study climate change and its effects by preserving ice cores from glaciers that are at risk of degradation or disappearance.
Celebrating the world of yachting
The donation was officially presented aboard the catamaran Reduce (35.9m, 2024), built by Silver Yachts and winner of the Special Jury Award at the inaugural Monaco Yacht Show Blue Wake Awards, in recognition of its eco-friendly innovations.
This visit followed a stop aboard the sailing yacht Maximus (59.29m, 2024), built by Vitters Shipyard and also nominated in the category.
The donation marked the conclusion of the Sovereign’s tour of the show, during which he engaged with exhibitors in the Upper Deck Lounge.
Prince Albert also paused to discover the photographic exhibition Tribute to Yachting. Curated by the Monaco Yacht Show in collaboration with photographer Guillaume Plisson, the exhibition offered visitors an artistic and poetic immersion celebrating the world of yachting.
