There are cities where space screams.
And then there is Monaco — a place where silence is the defining sound.
Silence that is valued more highly than any noise anywhere else in the world.
Monaco is the heart of the French Riviera, a small principality where everything associated with luxury and lifestyle comes together. Elegant villas and contemporary buildings with panoramic views rise along the shoreline, majestic superyachts line up in the port, and the streets of Monte Carlo are adorned with cars that have long become symbols of exclusivity.
What makes Monaco unique is the balance it strikes between intimacy and grandeur. Here, you can feel serenity among the green hills while also experiencing the vibrant social scene, where fashion, architecture, and yachting create a rhythm of their own. Everyday life feels like a celebration, and luxury takes the form of refinement.
It is no coincidence that the Monaco Yacht Show will be held here. This is not just an event for superyacht owners and designers, but a dialogue about the future of the industry, where style and technology converge with the philosophy of time and space.
Monaco Yacht Show 2025: Key Highlights
Every autumn, Monaco transforms into the global capital of yachting. The Monaco Yacht Show, held in Port Hercule, brings together leading shipyards, design studios, and industry innovators. It is a stage where world premieres stand alongside icons of the past, and private meetings shape the future of the market.
The 2025 edition will gather over 500 exhibitors and showcase dozens of world debuts. This is not just a showcase of luxury — it is a laboratory of ideas where new standards of maritime architecture are born. Among the key themes this year: sustainable design, innovative propulsion technologies, and reimagined spatial concepts on board.
For OLT DESIGN, the show is not only a chance to witness the latest trends but also a platform for dialogue with leading players — from legendary shipyards to forward-thinking studios. Because it is here that the language of yachting for the years ahead is being written.
Who Will Be in the Spotlight
The Monaco Yacht Show annually gathers both legends and innovators of the yachting industry — those who shape not only the present but also the future of maritime architecture.
- Royal Huisman — a Dutch shipyard with more than 140 years of history. Known for blending tradition with innovation, every yacht they deliver is a work of art crafted with watchmaker’s precision. At the 2025 show, they will unveil a superyacht concept powered by wind propulsion, wing sails, and hydrogen fuel cells — a project that opens a new chapter in maritime architecture.
- Amels / Damen Yachting — a renowned yard that combines Dutch engineering with a contemporary vision of comfort and style. We are proud to have developed the interior for the unique Amels SOLAIA 6005, a collaboration that remains an important part of our portfolio. At this year’s show, Amels will present new interpretations of the Amels 60 series and innovative Yacht Support concepts, underlining their ability to merge luxury with functionality.
- Oceanco — a forward-thinking shipyard of global scale, known for building megayachts over 100 meters and pushing the boundaries of design. In Monaco, they will showcase projects such as Luna and Alfa G, where scale and technology transform into visions of the future. Each premiere from Oceanco is a manifesto of modernity.
- Feadship — a Dutch consortium of master builders who specialize in fully bespoke yachts tailored to individual owners. Here, no two projects are alike — each yacht is born as a personal story crafted into detail. While their 2025 premieres remain under wraps, Feadship’s presence alone raises expectations for new standards of customization and design.
- Heesen Yachts — a Dutch shipyard celebrated for its fast, lightweight motor yachts with aluminum hulls. They excel at blending engineering efficiency with comfort and aesthetics, producing yachts where technical mastery becomes artistry.
- Lürssen — the German legend of megayacht construction. Their projects combine scale, power, and intricate detail, where engineering brilliance meets architectural harmony. In Monaco, they will present new launches that once again prove Lürssen’s ability to merge grandeur with refinement.
- Benetti and Sanlorenzo — two Italian names that embody the Mediterranean lifestyle. Benetti is associated with flowing lines, sun-filled spaces, and architecture that breathes with the sea. Sanlorenzo, by contrast, is known for refined interiors and seamless integration between inside and out. Together, they represent an Italian vision of the yacht as a timeless symbol of style.
Alongside these examples, many other talented shipyards will present their projects — some unveiling new premieres, others showcasing iconic models. Complementing them will be interior studios and technology brands, from producers of cutting-edge equipment to boutique teams offering new perspectives on yacht spaces.

Monaco Yacht Show 2025 is not just a showcase of new models. It is a language through which the industry speaks about the future: how we will travel, how we will combine luxury with responsibility, and how the architecture of the sea will evolve into the architecture of new thinking.
OLT DESIGN’s Expert View
A yacht is a space of freedom, allowing one to experience time differently.
For us, a yacht is architecture that lives between shores yet beyond the boundaries of time. When speaking about a yacht, one feels the urge to do so almost in a whisper. It becomes a dialogue between human and sea, between silence and movement, between dream and realization.
This is what explains the uniqueness of the Monaco Yacht Show: it is not simply about presenting yachts, but about unveiling visions of the future — where freedom and responsibility merge into a single code of aesthetics.
For some, Monaco is the final destination.
For us, it is the beginning of a dialogue.
The Monaco Yacht Show 2025 will be a stage where ideas come together to shape the next decade of the industry. We will be there not only to discover new projects but also to share our vision: of architecture existing beyond time, and of silence resonating louder than any sound.
