Monaco Yacht Show 2026: four days at the world’s superyacht summit
The 35th edition of the Monaco Yacht Show takes place from 23 to 26 September 2026 at Port Hercule, Monaco. Over four days, shipyards, brokers, designers and luxury brands from around the world converge on the most prestigious superyacht show on the calendar. Our team covers the entire show — quays, pontoons, on board and at anchor — from start to finish.
The show in figures: more than 120 superyachts on display afloat (average length ~50 m, mega-yachts over 100 m), around 43 world premieres, 560+ exhibitors and nearly 30,000 visitors, both trade and private.
Key areas we cover: Port Hercule (Quai Antoine 1er, Jetée Lucciana, Darse Sud, Parvis Piscine), the Yacht Club de Monaco, the exhibition pontoons, tenders and water toys, yacht interiors and aerial shots of the bay.
Other key dates in the yachting season: Cannes Yachting Festival (September), MYBA Charter Show, Genoa Boat Show, Palm Beach & Fort Lauderdale. Our team can be deployed to all of the trade shows that set the rhythm of the yachting year.
Who to expect on the quays: the major shipyards (Lürssen, Feadship, Benetti, Sanlorenzo, Amels / Damen, Heesen, Oceanco, CRN), the design studios (Espen Øino, Winch Design) and the leading brokerage houses (Burgess, Northrop & Johnson, Fraser, Camper & Nicholsons, Ocean Independence) — several of whom already trust us with their work.

Monaco Yacht Show 2026 — your local Côte d’Azur agency for 10 years
Based between Cannes and Monaco for more than 10 years, Images d’Azur is a local reference for yachting photography and video. We know the Monaco Yacht Show inside out: Port Hercule logistics, pontoon access, on-board protocols, the best vantage points over the bay and the constraints crews work under.
Our yachting expertise is anything but theoretical: every year we cover boat shows and yachts for shipyards, brokers and owners (see our yacht photographer & videographer page). Being local changes everything: no travel costs, no time lost, maximum responsiveness and on-the-ground knowledge that no fly-in supplier can match.
Throughout the four days of the show, our teams work from morning to night. Daily brief, same-day express delivery, evening debrief. We cover commercial needs (stands, yachts, sales brochures, corporate) just as well as brands’ event requirements (owners’ dinners, on-board activations, private parties).

The questions our clients ask before booking
How much does photo/video coverage of the Monaco Yacht Show cost?
Our show packages start at €1,200 excl. VAT for one day (1 photographer, stand + yacht coverage). Full four-day packages with a dedicated photographer, videographer and drone range from €12,000 to €30,000 excl. VAT depending on scope (number of yachts, sea trials, parties, EPK, brand activation). Every quote is bespoke: we discuss your objectives to propose the right package.
How far in advance should we book a team for the show?
Ideally in spring or early summer, to get the full choice of teams and the best slots. Last-minute bookings are still possible, but availability cannot be guaranteed at such a busy show. For needs that arise during the show itself, we keep a team on standby.
Can you photograph a specific yacht on the quay or at sea?
Absolutely. We cover your yacht from every angle: moored along the pontoons, at anchor and under way during sea trials (running shots from a tender + drone footage). Photos are delivered fast for your sales brochures, charters and social channels.
Do you work with shipyards, brokers and luxury brands?
Yes, it is our core business at boat shows. We work with shipyards, brokerage houses (including Northrop & Johnson and Bluewater, existing clients) and luxury brands running activations. Product, lifestyle, corporate and press content, with credits and rights tailored to each use.
How many photographers / videographers per project?
It depends on the scope. For a stand or a yacht: 1 photographer (+ 1 optional videographer). For full show coverage: 2 photographers on rotation + 1 videographer + 1 drone operator + 1 dedicated retoucher. We adapt the team to your needs, never the other way round.
Do you offer drone photography and sea trial coverage?
Yes. We shoot aerial views of Port Hercule, the bay and your yacht under way, with a registered pilot and permits handled. Sea trials are covered with running shots from a tender and by drone for a dynamic, cinematic result.
What are the delivery times during the show?
Social media photos: same day. Retouched stand / yacht selection: within 24 hrs. Edited video (walkthrough, highlight clip): next day. Full EPK (selection + B-roll): within 2 days. Show highlights film: within 48–72 hrs. Delivery via a secure private platform.
Can you handle the confidentiality of a yacht or an owner?
Absolutely. An NDA is signed before any brief. Your team approves the editorial selection before anything is distributed. Secure storage of rushes, controlled access, and files destroyed on request after delivery. We regularly handle sensitive projects without a single leak.
Do you also cover parties and owners' dinners around the show?
Yes. Beyond the official show, we cover private parties, owners’ dinners, press cocktails and brand activations on board or at the Yacht Club de Monaco. Discreet photographer, magazine quality, absolute confidentiality.
Do you work in French and English?
Yes, of course. Our team is bilingual in French and English. We regularly work with international clients (US, UK, Italy, Middle East, UAE) who don’t speak French. Briefs, deliveries, debriefs: everything can be done in English. Bilingual contract documentation.
