ЯХТ-ШОУ МОНАКО ПРОДОЛЖАЕТ КУРС НА ИННОВАЦИИ И УСТОЙЧИВОЕ РАЗВИТИЕ
This year the most anticipated event in the yachting world , the Monaco Yacht Show ( MYS ) was held on September 28 to October 1 , featuring a number of innovations and unique yachts . Among the latter , the first hydrogen-powered model was presented , alongside the largest yacht ( 115-metre ) ever exhibited in the Monaco port .
Increasingly , many large yachts were purchased by first-time owners . This growing trend emerged during the pandemic . Instead of buying a small boat first and then upgrading it , owners now go for a larger model straight away . According to Boat International ’ s Global Order Book , 1,024 superyachts ordered in 2022 are currently under construction which is a 24 % increase compared to the previous year . A 10.5 % increase was also observed in yachts of 45 metres +.
Some $ 4.3 billion worth of yachts by the most legendary superyacht brands were showcased in the Port of Monaco , attracting the rich and famous from all around the world . This international yachting event was an opportunity to socialize with fellow yachting enthusiasts and enjoy the glamour and exclusivity that Monaco has to offer .
The MYS had announced three themed exhibitions for 2022 — a new Design and Innovation Centre , the Sailing Yacht Zone and the Adventure Area . It is certainly back on track helping the industry reinvent the yachting experience and attract new clients for superyacht charters .
This year , the sailing yachts were moved inland to Quai l ’ Hirondelle in Port Hercule . Visitors thus got a chance to see some exceptional sailing boats distinguished by international awards .
