Monaco Yacht Show 2027 dates and schedule

When is the Monaco Yacht Show 2027? The organizer's FAQ states: "The MYS takes place from Wednesday, 22 to Saturday, 25 September 2027." It gives the daily hours above and adds that access is allowed until 30 minutes before closing. The show uses four public entrances, at Quai Antoine Ier, Parvis Piscine, Quai Chicane and Quai Albert Ier, and two VIP entrances for exhibitor guests and VIP pass holders.

How to get into the Monaco Yacht Show

Where is the Monaco Yacht Show held? In Port Hercule, the principality's main harbor. According to the FAQ, a Visitor Pass grants access from Thursday if bought online, or from Wednesday if you hold an invitation, and the Dockside Area is closed to Visitor Pass holders on Wednesday. Access on board yachts is "strictly at the discretion of each exhibiting company," so if you want to view a specific yacht, arrange it through a broker or the shipyard. The Exhibitor Guest badge is intended for yacht buyers and charterers and covers all exhibition areas, including the Dockside Area, from Wednesday.

If you are coming to buy or charter, the organizer also runs an Official VIP Programme, which its ticketing page describes as designed for buyers, clients seeking a charter and those approaching the superyacht market "with a clear intent." In 2026 it ran across all four show days. Ask the organizer or your broker which pass fits your plans before you book flights, since Wednesday access depends on it.

How much are Monaco Yacht Show tickets?

Tickets are sold online only, with no sales on site, per the official ticketing page. Prices for 2027 have not yet been published. For the 2026 edition, that page listed a one-day pass, excluding Wednesday, at €700 VAT included, a two-day pass at €1,300 and a three-day pass at €2,070. Use those only as a guide until the 2027 prices appear.

Flying in for the Monaco Yacht Show 2027

Monaco has no runway; the main airport for the principality is Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (LFMN / NCE), whose operator describes a dedicated Business Aviation Terminal and parking capacity for about 120 business aircraft. Cannes-Mandelieu Airport (LFMD / CEQ), further west, is a second option; ask whether your aircraft can use it. Neither airport publishes arrangements for show week, and this guide makes no claim about slots or parking then.

The organizer's organise your stay page says the 22 km from Nice Airport to Monaco can be covered "in under 30 minutes" by motorway, that the Line 80 coach runs every 45 minutes, and that its 2026 helicopter partner offered transfers between Nice airport and Monaco "in just 7 minutes." The same page links to hotel booking for the show and lists car parks outside the center with shuttle links, which may help if your driver needs to wait. See our pages on Nice and Monaco for providers on the Riviera.

What to confirm with your provider

• Is Nice or Cannes-Mandelieu the better arrival airport for your aircraft, and has parking been confirmed for your dates?
• Will the aircraft stay on the ground in Nice during the show, or reposition?
• Who books the helicopter or car transfer to Monaco, and how long should you allow at your arrival hour?
• If you hold a Wednesday invitation, can the schedule land you in time for the 10am opening?
• If you are arriving from outside the Schengen area, where will passport and customs checks take place?
• What happens to the booking and any deposit if your yacht viewings move to different days?
