Monaco Yacht Show 2024: The Biggest, Boldest and Most Expensive Superyachts To See

Even in its 33rd year, Monaco Yacht Show continues to break its own milestones.

By Ellys Woodhouse and Toby Louch

The principality of Monaco has a calendar that’s filled with major events. While the financial benefits of this little tax haven ensure its population remains fairly well stocked with super-rich and socialites year-round, it’s these events that truly bring the masses. April calls for the tennis at The Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters; in May it’s time for the Formula One Grand Prix ; June brings the world-famous car show Top Marques ; and summer draws to a close with perhaps the most glam of the bunch, the Monaco Yacht Show, which this year falls on September 25 – 28.

For those interested in gazing upon some of the finest yachts that can be found anywhere in the world, Monaco ’s Port Hercules is a pretty good spot year-round, but for the weekend of the Monaco Yacht Show, things enter a different league.

The Monaco Yacht Show is essentially a gathering of the global superyacht community. From owners to innovators, manufacturers and brokers, all head to the principality. Each year, builders and brokers present around 120 superyachts and 60 luxury tenders , with many of these reflecting current industry trends and revealing the potential future direction of the industry. These vessels boast an average length of around 160 ft, with a sprinkling of superyachts that top the 320 ft mark – with this year’s headliner clocking in at 400 ft.

Aside from the yachts themselves, visitors can expect countless designers improving yacht interiors and engineers working to ensure the industry becomes more sustainable. There’s sure to be a lot going on.

So ahead of this year’s event, Elite Traveler has looked into which yachts will be on display at Port Hercules and curated a list of some of the show’s unmissable vessels. So blow the dust off your Panama hat and add a few zeros to your credit card limit, because these are some of the biggest, boldest and most expensive boats attending the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show.

H3: The Market’s Most Expensive Superyacht Debuts a New Design

The undisputed biggest headline of this year’s show – in every sense of the word – Lürssen’s Kismet will be the largest yacht to go on display in Port Hercules. While the previous title holder was another from Lürssen, the 377.6-ft Ahpo, the Kismet takes its victory by a considerable mile, clocking in at 400 ft. Previously known as Project Jag, the Kisamet was handed over to owner Shahid Khan in May 2024, making it one of the show’s newest deliveries, too. 

With exterior design by Nuvolari Lenard and naval architecture by Lürssen Yachts along with Reymond Langton Design working on the yacht’s interiors , Kismet is decked out with a helipad, beauty salon, indoor and outdoor cinema, dance floor and gym. Perhaps unsurprising, but all this makes Kisamet one of the most expensive yachts to charter , too, asking for €3m (approx. $3.4m) per week with Cecil Wright & Partners.

Delivered in 2019 by SilverYachts and refitted in 2024, the almost 280-ft, self-described ‘sports activity vessel’ Bold takes center stage at Monaco Yacht Show 2024. Designers Espen Øino created the superyacht’s striking, military-inspired exterior, creating a unique glass-enclosed loft on the upper deck that covers over 3,200 sq-ft of interior space. Meanwhile, Vain Interiors has created an opulent, New York-style loft, which is built to accommodate up to 12 overnight guests in eight luxurious staterooms and can carry up to 96 passengers while cruising.

With a a huge selection of water toys, a vast outdoor entertaining area with a bar and Teppanyaki grill, a cinema, an eight-person hot tub and a lounge surrounding a firepit, it’s no surprise that the Bold is a popular charter yacht, with Holl Robinson asking €875,000 ($972, 800) per week. 

Following an extensive, three-year rebuild, the most expensive superyacht on the market has returned to Port Hercules for 2024, complete with a new look – and price tag, too, asking for €295m ($328m). The 344.5-ft Oceanco H3 superyacht has already picked up a handful of international awards for the new look and is expected to impress many fans at Monaco Yacht Show 2024. 

In addition to the extra 10 meters that were added to the H3 ’s hull, the rebuild – from the likes of Reymond Langton Design, which worked on both the exterior and interior redesign, and the collaboration between Lateral Naval Architects and Oceanco on its naval architecture – also saw a pool deck, huge spa and wellness area and climate-controlled winter garden added to H3 ’s numerous amenities.

With its distinctive, shark-like exterior design, the 295-ft superyacht DAR will be hard not to miss at Monaco Yacht Show 2024. Built by Oceanco with exteriors designed by Luiz de Basto Design, the glossy black silhouette was inspired by the look of the hammerhead shark, with sinuous lines, wide set wing stations and a mast modeled after a dorsal fin. 

Meanwhile, renowned Italy-based studio Nuvolari & Lenard has crafted swooping, contemporary interiors. DAR’s impressive features include a complete owner’s deck, complete with a private salon and jacuzzi, a wellness area, an impressive beach club, and two helipads for private use. Offering grandeur and complete privacy in equal doses, DAR can accommodate up to 14 guests in overnight accommodation, with separate living quarters to host as many as 31 crew members.

Despite only hitting the waters in June this year, the first wallywind110, Galma , is set to make its global debut at Monaco Yacht Show 2024. Measuring almost 110 ft, Galma ’s naval architecture comes from German studio judel/vrolijk & co while interior and exterior lines are designed by Wally in collaboration with Santa Maria Magnolfi. With a design that offers the comfort of a cruising yacht while maintaining the performance of a racing boat, Galma is characterized by the 22.6-ft telescopic keel and an all-carbon hull that has been painted in light metallic blue.

Other highlights of Galma include an 860-sq-ft full-beam cockpit with seating and dining for up to 15 people, as well as an open-plan raised saloon. Galma can accommodate up to eight guests overnight, with five crew members.

Sunseeker and James Bond films go hand-in-hand, but this one was actually owned by 007 himself – Sir Roger Moore

The venerable actor kept his Sunseeker Tomahawk 41 in Monaco and cruised the South of France aboard it, enjoying a lifestyle befitting his on-screen persona.

These include a pair of Cummins Mercruiser 250hp turbo diesel engines, which he had fitted to give her a top speed of 31 knots.

As Nick explains, the name K is a tribute to the Swedish-born Danish socialite Kristina Tholstrup, who married Moore in 2002.

The layout and styling are classic Sunseeker, with a winged radar arch and two aft-facing sunloungers in the cockpit – perfect for watching your wake ripple out behind you with a drink in hand.

Enjoy the tour…

BOND JAMES BOND

Spirit Yachts’ brand partnership with EON Productions, Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios (MGM), and Universal Pictures International on the James Bond films began when a Spirit 54 was chosen to feature in the 2006 film Casino Royale .

This year, Spirit Yachts returns to the big screen alongside 007 in the 25th Bond film, No Time To Die .

Casino Royale :

The scene portraying Daniel Craig and Eva Green cruising into Venice onboard a Spirit 54 is now world famous. Having been handcrafted by Spirit Yachts’ skilled team of boat-builders in Suffolk, the yacht (a 54 foot design named Spirit) was shipped to the Bahamas. From there, Spirit Yachts sailed her to Puerto Rico and through the British Virgin Islands for filming. After shooting scenes in the Caribbean, the yacht was shipped to Croatia and sailed on to Venice. During filming in Venice, the yacht’s rig was taken in and out a total of 10 times to fit under multiple canal bridges. She was the first sailing yacht to go up the Grand Canal in 300 years.

Watch the yacht in action here.

No Time To Die :

A Spirit 46 features in the James Bond film No Time To Die . Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica, where a Spirit 46 sailing yacht is featured.

Spirit Yachts CEO and Head of Design Sean McMillan commented, “ The James Bond films are a mainstay of British culture and we are honoured to be continuing our partnership with such an iconic brand.”

Sean McMillan continued, “The Spirit 46 is one of the original Spirit Yachts designs and is an example of the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into every Spirit yacht. I think the yacht suits the Bond character very well because of the combination of beauty and practicality.”

The 400-foot-long Kismet embarks on her maiden voyage in the Med

When it comes to exclusive enclaves, it’s pretty hard to compete with Monaco. The world’s elite flock to the tiny principality on the French Rivera for its sunny weather, sophisticated hotels and casinos, spectacular shopping and other financial reasons. They love to drive their fast cars down the famous roads leading into the city, and they love the speed and power of the legendary Monaco Grand Prix, too.

Monaco Yacht Show 20224

But as for the absolute pinnacle of luxury, it doesn’t get much better than owning a superyacht. And for the select few who happen to be shopping for a superyacht, there’s one place to see nearly all of the best, and biggest, and most technologically advanced yachts that money can buy (in addition to the tenders, and limousines, and private submarines, and luxury cars that go along with a superyacht) in one place: The Monaco Yacht Show , which starts next week.

Renaissance is massive

During the show, the docks of Monaco’s famous port are always filled with numerous yachts longer than 250 feet. But this year, the largest superyacht in the show is 400 feet long! And lots of superyachts in the 300-foot-long range will be there, too.

Hackers Force Chrome Users To Hand Over Google Passwords. Here’s How

Apple’s update decision—bad news confirmed for millions of iphone users, today’s eclipse of the full moon sets up a ‘ring of fire’ — what to know.

So, if you are lucky enough to be in Monaco later this month, I’ll see you there. But if you not, here’s a sneak peek at the five largest yachts that will be on display.

Kismet underway

What can I say about the 400-foot-long Kismet (which was built by Lürssen , features an exterior design by Nuvolari Lenard and an interior design by Reymond Langton Design and is available for charter with Cecil Wright ) that can help you understand just how big a 400-foot-long superyacht is? How about, since it measures 40 feet longer than an American football field (including the end zones), it’s safe to say that Kismet would only just barely fit inside the Jacksonville Jaguars EverBank Stadium. And that’s only if it could somehow be lowered from the top with a crane!

Kismet departs Lurssen shipyard in Germany

But since these photos and that explanation can’t really convey just how big Shaid Kahn ’s (the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars) new 400-foot-long superyacht is...The only way you’ll really be able to understand just how big the Jacksonville Jaguars owner’s new yacht is to see it for yourself in Monaco next week. It’s going to be largest yacht at the show and has raised the bar on what’s possible when it comes to designing, building, owning and chartering the largest yachts in the world.

The interior for the 400-foot-long Kismet that charters for $3 million per week

And since Kismet has already spent her first season in the Mediterranean and is available for charter through Cecil Wright (instead of being hidden away for a private owner like many yachts in this size range are), you, too, could experience what it’s like to live the superyacht life aboard one of the largest and most opulent vessels in the world.

The interior for the 400-foot-long Kismet that charters for $3 million per week is massive

So, if you looking for a charter yacht that costs roughly $3 million per week, the Monaco Yacht Show will be the place where you can see just how opulent Kismet (and theses other superyachts too) for yourself.

‘Renaissance’

The Bannenberg & Rowell-designed Renaissance that can accommodate 36 guests in 16 cabins is unlike ... [+] most other superyachts that are available to charter

The 367-foot-long, 7,200-gross ton, Bannenberg & Rowell -designed Renaissance is um, a “really big superyacht.” But what intrigues me the most is that unlike most superyachts that can only accommodate 12 guests per charter, Renaissance has been designed to swaddle 36 guests in superyacht luxury.

Renaissance underway

As you’d imagine, this yacht has it all. Open-air dining on five decks and a dining room with 18-foot-tall ceilings on the main deck. A sushi bar. A pizza oven by the huge pool. And of course, the requisite DJ stations when it’s time to party. There’s also a massive cinema that has seating 19 guests on lower deck—the perfect place to just Netflix-n-chill.

The 18-foot ceilings aboard RENAISSANCE BANNENBERG + ROWELL DESIGN

And, oh yeah, the spa features hot and cold plunge pools, steam room and sauna, two treatment rooms and a full beauty salon. Contact Burgess for more info.

The all-new exterior lines of Oceanco H3

I’ve seen lots of superyacht designs come to life thanks to the hard work, dedication, perseverance and love that the large fraternity of superyacht designers, builders, artists and countless others pour into every spectacular new yacht that gets launched.

The rebuilt Oceanco H3 got a "rockstar" relaunch.

But I must admit, after seeing the 344-foot-long Oceanco -built (and rebuilt) H3 (first launched in 2000) emerge after an intensive 3-year-rebuild, I’m at a loss for words. I’m in awe, actually. Because after spending time at Oceanco with the project team and the owner's representative , I understand why this project is way more than just a refit.

It’s been transformed into a brand-new yacht with every modern comfort, but also retains its…soul.

The accommodations onboard the 334-foot-long H3 are spectacular

The sustainability impact of this project is also pretty awe-inspiring to me, too. According to Oceanco’s team of engineers, simply using an existing hull instead of building an brand-new one resulted in a 50% reduction of carbon emissions for the build. And since H3 has been repowered with smaller yet much more efficient engines (and her top speed has been reduced slightly), the yacht burns much less fuel than she previously did as well. Delivery time was reduced by 25% as well, and hopefully we see more projects take this approach in the future.

The video wall in the welcome area of the Ocean co H3 is innovative as well as attention grabbing.

Oceanco’s CEO Marcel Onkenhout adds, “To say that this has been a remarkable process is an understatement. The project has called for passion, dedication and extraordinary craftsmanship, with many involved in her creation now contributing to her recreation, including myself.” Contact Edmiston for more info.

Silver Yachts' BOLD is sure to get attention at this years Monaco Yacht Show

The 278-foot-long BOLD is the largest and most aggressive superyacht the Australian-based Silveryachts has ever built. Working in collaboration with yacht designer Espen Øino BOLD brings a whole new look to the explorer yacht category.

There helideck aboard BOLD is...bold!

Amels Full Custom ENERGY will be at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show

The 255-foot-long Amels full-custom yacht ENERGY was created by exterior designer Espen Øino and interior designer Francois Zuretti to provide unapparelled luxury and access to the water.

The top deck’s helipad forward is a versatile space outside heliops—sun lounge, al fresco yoga studio with wraparound ocean views, a space for elevated entertainment served by the statement bar...assorted lounging areas and dayhead inside. The jacuzzi and sun pads aft allow guests to bask in the sun.

The bridge deck music lounge is designed for acoustic excellence. There is a Steinway baby grand piano and marble-topped bar. The entertainment continues in the open-air lounge aft, guests can find some privacy on the sofa forward of the bridge or keep going on the walkaround sidedecks to appreciate the anchorage from every possible vantage point.

Full-height windows in the the owner’s deck bedroom provide direct access to a private foredeck terrace, a hot tub and a mesmerizing marble fire pit. Contact Burgess for more info.

Yachts & Boats – 4 of the Best in the Eyes of 007

June 27,2022

The name’s Bond… James Bond.

Here at SuperYachtsMonaco , we are endlessly striving to provide the utmost luxury, comfort, and class for all customers, whether it be chartering a yacht for a week’s trip around the Maldives or purchasing a unique yacht from a renowned independent shipyard. But have you ever been caught watching a Bond film and all of a sudden seen a beauty of a yacht and wondered to yourself: “What was that? Where can I find one of those? And how can I live a life like him?” Well, you wouldn’t be the first…  

Yachts exude luxury and class, specifically superyachts. But who exudes more class and high living than the one and only 007! Whether it is caning up the high Furka Pass in Switzerland in his absolute stunner of a car, the Aston Martin DB5 – Goldfinger , or cruising his Venetian rowing boat the ( Bondola ) up the stairs of the main Piazzetta San Marco – Moonraker . We can all agree and say that he’s got a particular taste for the finer things in life, including yachts. 

Since about 1962, Bond films have managed to incorporate a handful of modern and classic yachts into some incredibly exhilarating action sequences and even more romantic and intimate scenes portraying not only the beauties of the automobile industry but also the grace of the yachting industry. Here’s a little reminder of a few memorable yachts and boats that were featured in the James Bond saga. Enjoy…

Buehler Turbocraft 19 in Thunderball (1965)

Even Bond wasn’t able to resist this peach of a boat as shown in the 1965 movie Thunderball , due to its technological innovation and distinct elegance of the time.  Buehler Turbocraft was the very first in the boating industry to introduce the revolutionary waterjet propulsion system which was based on the designs of Secondo Campini’s turbojet principle , providing unparalleled maneuverability and instant acceleration at sea. 

After the immense success of the film Thunderball , the 19ft-Turbocraft was aptly renamed ‘Thunderball’ as a tribute to the film and became an instant success. Quickly climbing the ranks as a top choice among some of the bigs, e.g. the Kennedy family, and Nikita Khrushchev, leader of the USSR.

Sunseeker Predator 108 in Casino Royale (2006)

Casino Royale (2006) was Daniel Craig’s first-ever Bond film, which we can all say will go down in history as one of the best resurgences of any movie franchise in our lifetime. The absolute class and physical prowess Daniel managed to bring to the role were one for the books.

Time after time EON Productions manages to feature some of the cleanest cars the world has to offer, in our opinion anyway. But in Casino Royale not only did they have the Aston DB5, the Aston DBS V12, and the Jaguar XJ8 but also a Sunseeker Predator 108. She was only just delivered in 2004, in time to feature in the hit film, fitted with three 2000hp MTU diesel engines connected to Arneson surface drives. Comfortably capable of hitting 40knots and cruising at a speed of 20knots.  Driven by none other than the menacing, blood-tearing “Le Chiffre”.

This very CASINO ROYALE Sunseeker Predator 108 is still active to date, and can be found chartering around all coasts of Italy and the French Riveria. As of now the charter rate for the low season is €65,000 per week and rises up to €75,000 per week during the high season.

Pruva S/Y ARIA 1 (EX-REGINA) in Skyfall ( 2012)

Another Bond flick… another Bond girl… another yacht. The beautiful Severine (Bérénice Marlohe) and Agent 007 can be found cruising along with their hair being blown by the wind in the impressive 56-meter S/Y ARIA 1 just off the coast of Turkey. This elegant double-masted yacht, renamed ‘CHIMERA’ for the film, was constructed by Pruva Yachting (TUR) back in 2011. Unlike most other Bond films, Bond himself usually has all the latest gadgets and tech, which was why S/Y ARIA 1 was a nice surprise as a feature in the film. A little hommage to the simpler times and a true reminder of quality.

Like CASINO ROYALE,  ARIA 1 is still active to date and spending most of her time chartering in Greece. As of now the charter rate for the low season is €75,000 per week and rises up to €100,000 per week during the high season.

DISCO VOLANTE PT-20 Hydrofoil in Thunderball (1965)

One of the most iconic yacht features, Spectre’s number 2 – Emilio Largo’s PT-20 Hydrofoil has to be mentioned. Whilst Spectre’s team was transporting stolen atomic weapons, the US Navy intercepted the transportation, leaving the villains no other choice but to retaliate and flee. The PT-20 had been fitted with a sort of ‘cocoon’ attached to the stern of the boat disguising it as a rather normal commercial ferrying boat, when in fact it was capable of separating the cocoon from the main hull providing anti-aircraft cannon and machinegun cover for the fleeing front half of the boat.   

This incredible film adaptation of the novel Thunderball paved a new way in creativity on the big screen and introduced audiences around the world to the PT-20 Hydrofoil. Built by Rodriquez Cantieri Navali with the help of Naval Architect F. Lobau, a total of 46 PT-20’s were built from the period 1956 to 1971.

Commander James Bond remains to be an Icon and will forever be regarded as a great movie franchise, no matter the actor portraying the infamous ‘Agent 007’. Let’s just hope that if EON Productions are willing to continue pumping out Bond films, they keep the standards up to par with what they have already produced and featured. We’ll all be here awaiting the newest additions to your fleet of both yachts and supercars, that you can count on Mr. Bond.

Celebrating Success at IGY Marinas’ Exclusive 007 Party

On the evening of Friday 30 th September, with the Monaco Yacht Show in full swing, IGY Marinas welcomed esteemed clients and guests to their glittering 007 Party at the exclusive Yacht Club de Monaco in Port Hercules.

Taking place in the upper deck ballroom, which was elegantly adorned with giant silver and black balloons, senior members of IGY’s team were on hand to host an evening of Bond themed music and live entertainment with feathers and sparkles aplenty.

With panoramic views across the docks filled to the brim with many of the finest superyachts on the market today, industry insiders sipped chilled wines and enjoyed a delicious buffet of fresh fish, Provençal vegetables and bite-sized pastries and g âteaux .

In an exceptional year which has so far seen the addition of Malaga San Andres , Vieux-Port de Cannes and Ibiza Marina to IGY’s global network and the launch of the IGY Trident Program during the F1 Grand Prix in Miami in May, the 007 Party was also a fitting opportunity to celebrate in style, and spirits were high.

Commenting on the occasion, IGY’s Executive Vice President of Global Operations Kenny Jones said: “It was an absolute pleasure to welcome so many valued clients and friends at our Monaco Yacht Show 007 Party this year and I’d like to thank our team for all their efforts in organising such a successful and enjoyable event.”

Regional Director of Operations, Europe and Mediterranean Simon Bryan said: “As IGY Marinas continues to expand its presence in Europe, hosting the 007 Party at the Yacht Club de Monaco offered the perfect opportunity for us to connect and celebrate with old friends and new. We thank all those who joined us on the night and we look forward to returning to the Monaco Yacht Show again next year!”

You could say that 2022 has not been a good year for superyachts in general, and you wouldn’t be completely off the mark. In between seizures and legal complications, and what seems like an increased number of totaling incidents, superyacht-watching has definitely gotten more… dramatic this past year.

We can now add another incident to that ever-growing list: 007, a superyacht delivered by Aegean Yachts in 2006, has sunk after running aground off the coast of Greece. It happened on Friday night (September 2), with reports in the local  media  saying that the captain hit rocks under the surface of the water.

The ship is now almost completely submerged in Kolona Bay in Kythnos, in the Cyclades island chain in Greece, only some 15 meters (49.2 feet) from the beach. The Greek Coast Guard has confirmed the incident but, for the time being, it can’t speak on the circumstances surrounding it – and for very good reason, since an investigation into the cause is still underway.

The good news is that the five people onboard the vessel were rescued by the Coast Guard and transported to safety. The other piece of good news is that Coast Guard personnel was able to contain the superyacht with a floating sea wall, and there have been no reports of pollution as of the time of press. Given the location of the wreck, it is very likely that a recovery operation will be attempted.

The captain called in for help after running aground, as the ship started taking on water. Shortly afterwards, 007 listed on the port side, and eventually capsized. Photos and videos have emerged on social media showing the extent of the damage, and you will find some of them included in this article.

007 is a 49-meter (160-foot) superyacht that wasn’t available for charter, but was often described as the perfect family boat. Initially delivered as a 32-meter (105-footer) under the name Royal Enterprise, at the Bodrum shipyard in Turkey, it’s been through several refits, which have contributed to its current explorer-like, more aggressive silhouette. These refits included a lengthening of the hull to 49 meters (160 feet), adding another deck, and a small touch-and-go helipad on top.

With a design by Yavuz Mete, 007 offered accommodation for 10 guests and 5 crew. Powered by twin Caterpillar engines that developed a total of 1,300 hp, it could travel at a top speed of 12 knots (13.8 mph / 22.2 kph). None of that matters now, as it’s come to what could possibly be its end on the rocky shore of Greece.
