Small harbour, full jetties: the organisers are expecting more than 100 yachts on the quays of Port Hercule again this year. The really large formats will once again moor at the cruise terminal.
The Monaco Yacht Show takes place from 28 September to 1 October and presents itself with an overhauled layout and adapted concept. In addition to an increased focus on green technologies, experience-orientated visitors in particular will find plenty of inspiration.

Every year at the end of September, Port Hercule is transformed into the hub of the superyacht world. Shipyards, designers and suppliers show a select audience what they are capable of in the most exclusive setting. Nowhere else in the world is the density of new yachts greater than during the four days of the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS). The value of the ships on display - year after year - amounts to several billion euros, a collection that is unrivalled. After the organisers of the most important large yacht event made extensive adjustments to the concept last September, the MYS will also present itself with a new layout and trendy focal points in 2022. New features include the Sustainability Hub, an exhibition area for companies specialising in technologies to reduce the ecological footprint of superyachts. The newly created Adventure Area is also dedicated to the themes of adventure, tenders and toys and the discovery of remote destinations on this planet. Here, visitors will find helicopters, exciting weekender formats as well as supercars and off-road vehicles that meet the highest standards. Fans of large sailing formats can rejoice: all the yachts with masts will once again be close together on Quai l'Hirondelle, in the immediate vicinity of the Yacht Club de Monaco. As usual, the daily prices for the 31st MYS are 500 euros, a two-day ticket is available for 850 euros.

Preliminary layout: The largest yachts are moored at the Quai Rainier III cruise pier and at the head ends of Quai Rainier 1er and Quai l'Hirondelle. BOOTE EXCLUSIV (DS97) as well as the Sustainability Hub can be found at Darse Sud. The new Adventure Area will be located on Quai Jarlan and Quai Antoine 1er. | Graphic: MYSPreliminary layout: The largest yachts are moored at the Quai Rainier III cruise pier and at the head ends of Quai Rainier 1er and Quai l'Hirondelle.

The highlight of the trade fair remains the unrivalled selection of new superyachts presented by the best-known shipyards and brokerage houses. Here are the recommendations from the BOOTE EXCLUSIV editorial team:

"AHPO": The 115-metre Lürssen, to which we dedicate a large yacht portrait from page 66, is likely to attract everyone's attention in Port Hercule even without a helicopter landing. The striking Nuvolari-Lenard design is one of the most exclusive charter yachts in the world and offers guests every comfort.

Martin Hager

Editor in Chief YACHT

Martin Hager is editor-in-chief of the titles YACHT and BOOTE EXCLUSIV and has been working for Delius Klasing Verlag for 20 years. He was born in Heidelberg in 1978 and started sailing at the age of six, in an Opti of course. This was soon followed by 420s, Sprinta Sport and 470s, which he also sailed on the regatta course with his brother. His parents regularly took him on charter trips through the Greek and Balearic Islands. Even at a young age, it was clear to him that he wanted to turn his passion for water sports into a career. After graduating from high school and completing an internship at the Rathje boatbuilding company in Kiel, it was clear that he did not want to become a classic boatbuilder. Instead, he successfully studied shipbuilding and marine engineering in the Schleswig-Holstein state capital and focused on yacht design wherever he could. His diploma thesis dealt with the “Testing of a new speed prediction method for sailing yachts”. In 2004, the superyacht magazine BOOTE EXCLUSIV was looking for an editor with technical and nautical background knowledge, a position that was perfect for Martin Hager. The application was successful and a two-year traineeship was arranged. After twelve years as an editor, the editorial team changed and he took over responsibility for BOOTE EXCLUSIV as editor-in-chief in 2017. After long-time YACHT editor-in-chief Jochen Rieker moved to the role of publisher, Martin Hager also took over the position of editor-in-chief of Europe's largest sailing magazine YACHT, which is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year, at the beginning of 2023. When he's not working on topics for the two water sports titles, Martin Hager likes to go out on the water himself - preferably with kite and wingfoil equipment or on a little after-work trip across the Alster.
