The 35th Monaco Yacht Show opens on Wednesday 23 September with 120 superyachts in Port Hercule. Forty-three of them were delivered this year. Many are Italian. The yards account for a large share of that new fleet, and they bring the longest Italian new delivery on the list: Sanlorenzo’s 73.4-metre Silver Fox. For four days the harbour of a principality of two square kilometres becomes a showcase of Italian shipbuilding, and the ticket to walk it costs 700 euros.
Four days, one price list
The show runs from Wednesday 23 to Saturday 26 September 2026, with the docks open from 10:00 to 18:30 on the first three days and until 18:00 on Saturday. Wednesday is different. Access to the Dockside Area that day is reserved for private clients, so the 400-euro Wednesday pass does not include the Dockside Area. From Thursday the standard passes apply: 700 euros for one day, 1,300 for two, 2,070 for three, all VAT included, sold through the official ticketing page. Our access guide explains how the passes, the VIP programme and the invitation system fit together.
The organiser, Informa, published the first fleet list on 17 July. It counts 120 superyachts and more than 560 exhibitors. The figures below use the lengths as they appear on that list, which sometimes differ by a metre or so from the yards’ own brochures.
Silver Fox, 73.4 metres of Sanlorenzo
Silver Fox is the yacht Italian visitors will look for first. Delivered by Sanlorenzo in 2026 with exterior lines by Zuccon International Project, she is listed at 73.4 metres by the show and at 72 metres by the yard, and either figure makes her the largest Italian new delivery in Port Hercule this week. She is also already at work: Edmiston markets her for charter. Sanlorenzo’s superyacht division in La Spezia has spent a decade moving up in size, and Silver Fox is the proof that the yard now builds at a scale it once left to northern Europe.
CRN, Benetti and ISA in the high sixties
Three Italian hulls sit just below Silver Fox. CRN’s Amor A Vida measures 67.55 metres and was delivered in 2025, a fully custom build from the Ancona yard that is offered for charter. Benetti brings a B.Now 67 named Dagger, a 2026 delivery moored on the Quai des Etats-Unis. ISA Yachts, part of Palumbo Superyachts, shows Sea Raider X at 66.4 metres, also delivered this year. Together with the 70-metre Cerulean that CRN handed over on 16 September, though that one is not on the July list, these boats put four Italian yards in the 65-to-75-metre band in a single season.
Baglietto’s T60 and the largest Riva ever built
Two debuts matter more than their length suggests. Baglietto presents the T60, a 60.6-metre displacement yacht named Kinda II, designed by Francesco Paszkowski and delivered in 2026, alongside its 50-metre Fast50. Riva shows the 54 Metri, 54.84 metres on the official list, the biggest boat in the brand’s history and a clear statement that the Sarnico name now belongs in the superyacht harbour and not only on the lake. The hull is called Sairu. Its lines come from Officina Italiana Design, the studio of Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta that has designed the Riva range since 1994.

The brokerage boats worth a second look
Not every Italian yacht in the harbour is new. Some are for sale. Alchemist, a 62-metre Sanlorenzo from 2022 with exterior design by Officina Italiana Design, is on the market at 64 million euros. Akula, the 59.4-metre Rossinavi delivered in 2024 and designed with FM Architettura, asks 62 million. Tankoa’s 55-metre Loewe, delivered in 2025 to a design by Luca Dini, is offered for charter from 400,000 euros a week, and Benetti’s Galaxy, a 56-metre built in 2005 and refitted in 2025, is back on the charter market after the refit. Brokers price these boats against the new deliveries moored a few berths away, which is exactly why owners bring them to Monaco.
Under 50 metres, where the volume is
The band between 35 and 50 metres is where the Italian yards sell most of their boats, and the list reflects it. Overmarine’s Mangusta 165 REV stops at 49.9 metres. The Italian Sea Group brings a 50-metre Admiral. Azimut shows the 44 Metri at 43.85 metres, a boat we covered when the Roda-Vela design was first presented. Tankoa’s Singolare measures 45 metres, Cantiere delle Marche’s Flexplorer 146 measures 44.33, ISA’s Viper 130 is 38.8, Columbus’s Principessa Capricciosa 38, Maiora’s M38 37.1. From the Ferretti Group come the Pershing GTX116 at 35.33 metres and the Custom Line 35 at 34.5, both 2026 deliveries. Arcadia closes the Italian list with the A96 at 29 metres and the A80 at 23.98.
The three giants everyone will photograph
Size still draws the crowd. Oceanco’s Leviathan, delivered in 2025, is the longest yacht in the harbour at 111 metres. Nixie, the 102.4-metre Lürssen delivered in 2026, is the largest of this year’s new boats. Draak, a 93-metre Oceanco from 2014, returns after a refit completed this year. None of the three is Italian, and none is for sale to the passing visitor, but they set the scale against which every other boat on the quay is judged.
Then Genoa, from 1 October
Monaco closes on Saturday evening. The season then moves east along the coast. The 66th Genoa International Boat Show runs from 1 to 6 October with more than 1,000 boats, 215 new products and exhibitors from 45 countries, with the new Palasport in the Waterfront di Levante as its latest addition. A ticket costs 23 euros plus a 1-euro booking fee online, or 28 euros at the gate. It is the show for the boats below 50 metres and for the day boats, and the contrast with Monaco could not be sharper: two thousand euros for three days in one harbour, twenty-eight for a day in the other.
The Luxury.it perspective
The Monaco list tells a simple story about Italian shipbuilding. The Italian yards dominate the market below 50 metres, and this year’s list shows how many of them now also build above 60. This week Sanlorenzo, CRN, Benetti, ISA and Baglietto all show boats between 60 and 74 metres, most of them delivered in the last twelve months, and Riva has built the longest boat in its history. The Dutch and German yards still hold the top of the harbour, with Leviathan, Nixie and Draak, and nothing Italian will challenge them this year. That is fine. The 60-to-75-metre band is where charter demand is deepest and where a one-week booking already runs to 400,000 euros, so the Italian yards have moved to the part of the market that pays. For a visitor with one day and a 700-euro pass, the plan writes itself: Silver Fox and Amor A Vida in the morning, the T60 and the Riva 54 Metri after lunch, and the three giants at the end, when the light on the Rock is at its best.
