The Superyacht Showstoppers from the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show

"The pinnacle of the yachting calendar, Monaco Yacht Show is where the world's most remarkable superyachts also typically make their debut. In the last week of September, Port Hercule empties of its usual residents and transforms into a showcase of innovation, craftsmanship and design. While head-turning giants such as the 351-ft Mar and the 296-ft Nero inevitably drew attention at the 2025 show, the true highlight was the diversity and quality of yachts on display."

"Among the 115 boats exhibited, individuality stood out as a defining theme, with owners increasingly commissioning yachts that reflect their personality, lifestyle and multigenerational living - pets included. But not every vessel was fully custom, and semi-custom builds like Heesen's Solemates also demonstrated the enduring appeal to yacht buyers of using a trusted platform from a series yacht. From newly launched explorers with ocean-going capabilities to exquisitely refitted classics brimming with character and redolent with history,"

"Sleek lines and sculpted curves disguise her 3,900GT volume, while soaring 8.8-ft ceilings and full-height windows flood her interiors with natural light. A heated 26-ft pool, hammam spa, cinema and beach club set the stage for indulgence, while a fleet of tenders and toys expands her horizons and the fun on board. With a 5,500-nm range, Mar delivers her 16 guests the opportunity for remote exploration, in, of course, top-of-the-line comfort."

Port Hercule hosted 115 yachts that showcased individuality, craftsmanship and design, with owners commissioning vessels to reflect personality, lifestyle and multigenerational living, including pets. Semi-custom builds such as Heesen's Solemates highlighted buyers' appetite for trusted series platforms alongside fully custom yachts. The line-up ranged from newly launched ocean-going explorer yachts to exquisitely refitted classics rich in character and history. Excellence on display emphasized vision, artistry and attention to detail rather than price alone. Mar, a 351-ft yacht, combined generous volume, full-height windows, high ceilings, extensive leisure amenities and a 5,500-nm range for remote exploration. Nero presented heritage-inspired styling blended with modern technology.
