September, the month of Super yachts
Port of Hercules, Monte Carlo. From September 27 to 30, the twenty-eighth edition of the most prestigious yacht fair in Europe. Since 1991 it has been surprising its visitors and welcoming pleasure and luxury superyachts from all over the world.
The greatest concentration of lengths: Kilometers of floating luxury.
At that time 30 yachts with a length of 32 meters were shown by about 50 exhibitors. Today there will be more than 125 that will be exhibited and 40 that will make their world debut there. This time the meters of these boats will double those of 2016.
The Monaco Yatch Show has become a first-class event and the small Principality is already considered a world reference in the market for these titans. If last year 32.000 people attended, the expected attendance for this year will be even greater.
It is an essential meeting point for the most influential yacht designers, builders, luxury suppliers, Yacht Brokers such as Camper & Nicholson or Fraser Yachts, manufacturers of high-end cars, helicopters and private jet manufacturers.
A competition of the greatest exponents of design and technology
In the last two years the winners of this show have been the Silver Fast, and the Galactica Super Nova. The first, 77 meters long, is capable of reaching 29 knots and crossing the Atlantic at 22 knots at cruising speed. Before becoming the winner it already had a price of 79,5 million euros and after winning it has increased its “cache". She is one of the models that are part of the Silver Yachts collection designed by naval architect Espen Oeino in team with Guido Krass, owner of this collection. Now they are preparing the Silver Loft, which will be ready to impress us next 2018 and among other qualities will be able to optimize its consumption by sailing at 19 knots and consuming less than 100 gallons per hour. For its part, the Galactica Super Nova, 70,07 meters long, is capable of reaching 30,03 knots in 75 seconds, and reaches 25 at cruising speed. She can accommodate 12 people in 6 cabins and has her own helipad. Its price is estimated at 923,6 million dollars.
The ring where the best designers fight
It is not just a concentration of the best yachts, nor the presentation of the newest ones. Companies that carry infallibility as their emblem, designers who create impossible and powerful structures will share these four days. You can attend the exhibition of cars with an impeccable design and other types of boats, the so-called ““toys” that are part of the entertainment proposed by the Brokers. This is the case of the Aston Martin AM37 boat, which dazzled with its design created in collaboration with Quintessence Yachts.
Exhibitions and continuous trips to the sea
The Quai Antoine 1er and Quai Louis II areas will be the main places where the yacht departures and other exhibitions take place. The visitor can obtain a simple pass valid for one day or one multipass to have access to all the amenities. You will have the possibility of hiring different services to get around the port and its surroundings: hire the services of a driver, boogies, golf carts, or a helicopter to be able to be at Nice airport in five minutes. You can also obtain a expert accreditation, which is intended for professionals in the nautical and luxury industries. The main, specialized media will make room to report on every development, every detail.
