Forty-three superyachts delivering in 2026, all berthed in the same harbour over the same four days. That is the figure that opens the first official fleet list of the Monaco Yacht Show, published today by organiser Informa Prestige ahead of the 35th edition (23–26 September 2026, Port Hercule), with the fleet set to reach 120 yachts by opening day. And it is a figure best read against the market: with order books at the leading yards committed through to 2028–2029, a yacht entering the water this year is the scarcest commodity in the industry.
“What this fleet offers a client exists nowhere else in the world,” said Toby Moore, CEO of Informa Prestige. “In four days and in a single harbour, you can walk the decks of forty-three yachts delivering this year, stand alongside the yards that built them and the brokers who will charter, manage or resell them. At a time when a new commission at a leading shipyard means waiting until 2028 or beyond, that concentration of near-term fleet, builders and brokerage expertise in one place, once a year, is the first and most concrete benefit the show delivers to yacht clients.”
The class of 2026, from 24 to 102 metres
This year’s deliveries span the full length of the fleet: from the 23.98-metre A80 by Arcadia to the 102-metre Nixie, the new Lürssen giant berthed at Quai Rainier Ier. Damen Yachting delivers no fewer than two — Pangea (80m) and QU2 (60m) — while Sanlorenzo displays the 73.4-metre Silver Fox.
The context is set by BOAT International’s Global Order Book 2026: the order book has contracted in unit count for a second consecutive year, yet average length and tonnage under construction stand at record highs, and build slots at the leading yards are committed through 2028–2029. The consequence is only superficially paradoxical: in a market building ever larger and ever longer, value shifts towards what is already afloat.
The heart of the market: 40–60 metres
The densest bracket of the fleet is where semi-custom series production meets charter economics, and it is dominated by the class of 2026: Benetti‘s B.Now 50m, the new Riva 54 Metri (54.84m), Overmarine‘s Mangusta 165 REV (49.9m), Baglietto‘s Fast50 (50m) and T60 (60.6m), The Italian Sea Group‘s 606 (50m), Tankoa‘s Singolare (45m), Mengi Yay‘s Gray Wolf (52.4m), Gulf Craft‘s Majesty 145 (45.25m), Amer Yachts‘ Even Further (41.45m), GX Superyachts‘ Merinos (42.05m) and Sirena Marine‘s Sirena Superyacht 42 Metre (42.23m) all deliver this year. Alongside them sit two in-service benchmarks: Sanlorenzo‘s 58Steel (58.25m, 2024) and Heesen‘s Pa’Lante (55m, 2025).
Between 30 and 40 metres
The class of 2026 is just as strong in the middle bracket: AB Yachts‘ AB110 (33.7m), the Sirena 118 (36m) — the Turkish yard’s second 2026 debut — Maiora‘s M 38 (37.1m) and Moonen‘s Lollipop (37.4m) cluster around Appontement Jules Soccal, while Palumbo Superyachts fields three 2026 deliveries across two brands: Columbus Yachts‘ Principessa Capricciosa (38m), Isa Yachts‘ Viper 130 (38.8m) and, further up the range, Isa‘s Sea Raider X (66.4m).
Italian production leads the hull count
Sanlorenzo, Azimut-Benetti and the Ferretti Group brands top the list — a faithful reflection of the Global Order Book 2026, in which Italian builders account for 52 per cent of global superyacht production in terms of projects ordered or under construction. Ferretti Group concentrates its presence on its mid-range models with the Custom Line 35 (34.5m, 2026), the Pershing GTX116 (35.33m, 2026) and the Riva Bellissima 130; Benetti extends upward with the B.Now 67m (2026) at Quai des États-Unis; and Azimut fields the 2026 debut of the Azimut 44 Metri (43.85m).
Azimut 44M
Below 30 metres, an almost entirely 2026 story
Wally‘s Wallywhy200 (27m), Princess Yachts‘ double debut with the X90 (27.11m) and Y95 (29.1m), AVA Yachts‘ V (25.9m) and Arcadia‘s A96 (29m) and A80 (24m) all carry 2026 dates, while the Arksen 85 (27.4m, 2026) by Wight Shipyard brings genuine ocean-crossing explorer capability to the same bracket — confirmation that this year’s deliveries run the full breadth of the fleet, not just its upper tiers.
Multihulls and sail
Two of the four multihulls on display are 2026 deliveries — Sunreef‘s Ipharra II (29.37m) and Lagoon‘s Eighty 3 (24.97m) — a sign that the format’s momentum is now carried by new tonnage rather than the existing fleet. Silveryachts confirms its solid reputation in the sector by showcasing one of its flagships at Appontement Jules Soccal.
Sail keeps its place: out of a fleet of seven sailing yachts, four are recent deliveries — Simena (62m, 2026) by Ares Yachts, the largest sailing yacht on the confirmed list, Cantiere del Pardo‘s Grand Soleil 80 (26.2m, 2026), Nautor Swan‘s Raijin (38.98m, 2026) and Vitters‘ Magic (44.3m, 2025).
The class of 2025 and the refit fleet: the value of ready now
The 2025 deliveries, making their first Monaco showing, are led by the 111-metre Leviathan by Oceanco — the largest yacht at the show — and run through CRN‘s Amor A Vida (67.55m), Horizon‘s FD100 (31m), the Cantiere delle Marche Flexplorer 146 (44.33m) and Sunseeker‘s trio at Quai Louis II: the 82 Ocean Enclosed (25m), 90 Ocean (27m) and 100 Yacht (29.94m).
Refit, for its part, offers what the order book cannot: fast availability. The contingent is led from the top of the fleet: Oceanco‘s Draak (91.5m, 2014, refitted 2026) berths at Quai Rainier III, fresh from a refit completed this year, joined by the Feadship Double Haven (51m, 1993, refitted 2024), presented by Feadship Resale, and Benetti‘s Galaxy (56m, 2005, refitted 2025), shown by Safe Harbor — three consecutive refit vintages bringing the repair and maintenance sector itself onto the quays.
Brokerage and charter complete the market
As of the date of publication, 38 of the yachts confirmed are presented not by their builders but by brokerage and charter firms: an in-service fleet whose launch years span four decades, from the mid-1980s to 2025. The profile tells its own story: an average length of close to 49 metres — squarely in the market’s most commercially active band — an average launch year of 2016, and lengths running from 27 to 78 metres, covering every stage of the ownership lifecycle: charter, management and resale.
For clients, the read is simple: the show is not only where the next fleet is sold, but where the existing fleet changes hands. Additional yachts will be announced weekly towards the full 120-strong fleet.
