The Monaco Yacht Show 2026 is set to once again transform Port Hercule into the heart of the global superyacht industry. Taking place from 23 to 26 September, the 35th edition of the show will bring together an exceptional fleet of yachts, including some of the largest and most anticipated superyachts currently on the water.
With around 118 yachts initially confirmed and 43 of them delivered in 2026, this year's show offers an impressive opportunity to discover the latest developments in yacht design, engineering, wellness and luxury living.
Leviathan: The Largest Yacht at the Show
At 111 metres, Leviathan is currently the largest yacht confirmed for Monaco Yacht Show 2026.
Built by Oceanco and delivered in 2025, the yacht was created for Gabe Newell, the American video game developer. Designed around a human-centric philosophy, Leviathan takes a different approach to traditional superyacht living.
Her interiors by Mark Berryman include a large communal dining area rather than a conventional main saloon, while a gaming lounge and basketball court encourage guests and crew to share spaces. Her diesel-electric propulsion and distinctive cool-grey aesthetic further reinforce her contemporary character.
Nixie: A New 102-Metre Charter Yacht
The second-largest yacht at the show is Nixie, measuring 102.4 metres and built by Lürssen.
Delivered in 2026, Nixie will make her global debut in Monaco and enter the charter market. Her design by RWD places wellness at the centre of the experience, with an expansive beach club, dedicated spa deck and a six-metre glass swimming pool suspended above the swim platform.
The yacht is also equipped with diesel-electric propulsion and an advanced energy storage system, allowing for quieter and more efficient cruising.
Draak: A New Role for a Familiar Yacht
At 92.8 metres, Draak is another major presence at this year's show.
Originally delivered in 2014 as Tranquility, the yacht underwent an extensive rebuild at Oceanco before being transformed into a companion yacht for Leviathan. The project included extending the yacht by more than one metre and removing the helideck.
One of the most unusual changes is the transformation of the former beach club and spa into a dedicated dive centre complete with a decompression chamber.
Angelique: Turquoise Yachts' Flagship
Measuring 87.7 metres, Angelique is the flagship of Turquoise Yachts and the largest yacht ever built in Turkey by volume.
Her Art Deco-inspired interiors were created by H2 Yacht Design, while the yacht places a strong emphasis on wellness and entertainment. Facilities include a full spa, panoramic gym, glass-sided swimming pool, two Jacuzzis, DJ facilities and a golf simulator.
Perhaps most unusually, her helipad can also be transformed into a basketball court, demonstrating the increasingly flexible approach to yacht design.
Pangea: The First Amels 80
The 79.8-metre Pangea represents an important milestone for Amels as the first yacht in its new Amels 80 series.
With exterior design by Espen Øino and interiors by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, Pangea combines contemporary styling with extensive outdoor living areas.
Her beach club opens on three sides to create a semi-enclosed waterfront lounge, while a 6.5-metre swimming pool on the aft deck provides a dramatic focal point above it.
Malia: A Return to Monaco
At 77.7 metres, Malia returns to Monaco following her global debut at the show in 2023.
Built by Golden Yachts in Greece, the yacht was originally delivered as O'Rea and features exterior and interior design by Studio Vafiadis, with interiors also developed alongside Massari Design.
Among her highlights are accommodation for up to 17 guests, a glass-bottomed swimming pool and an expansive beach club incorporating a wellness centre and health bar. Malia has also recently entered the brokerage market.
N2H: Turquoise Yachts' First Hybrid Superyacht
The 76.3-metre N2H marks another significant milestone for Turquoise Yachts as the shipyard's first hybrid superyacht.
Her sporty exterior was designed by Team for Design – Enrico Gobbi, while H2 Yacht Design created the interiors. The yacht features 13 balconies, a full-beam owner's suite and headroom reaching up to 2.65 metres.
Her hybrid propulsion system reflects the industry's growing focus on efficiency and quieter cruising without compromising on the scale and luxury expected from a modern superyacht.
A Showcase of the Future of Yachting
The largest yachts attending the Monaco Yacht Show 2026 demonstrate just how far the superyacht industry has evolved. From 111-metre gigayachts to hybrid-powered yachts, wellness-focused layouts and highly adaptable outdoor spaces, the fleet reflects a new generation of yacht ownership centred on personalisation and experiences.
The presence of Leviathan, Nixie, Draak, Angelique, Pangea and N2H, among many others, makes this year's Monaco Yacht Show an especially important event for anyone interested in the future of luxury yachting.
Beyond their impressive dimensions, these yachts reveal a broader trend: today's superyachts are increasingly designed as private destinations in their own right, combining sophisticated technology with wellness, entertainment, adventure and seamless connections to the sea.
