EVENT
Over 150 private events
Press conferences, product presentations, cocktails on board yachts or on stands, private evening receptions – the enormous range of events organised by the exhibitors during the four days( and nights!) reflected the importance of public and press relations actions aimed at the high-end international audience and influential media at the Show. On Tuesday 26 September, the Monaco Yacht Show opened the four days of festivities with the MYS Inaugural Gala Party, held this year at Le Méridien Beach Plaza Hotel. 400 privileged guests were invited to the Gala Party during which awards were made to three superyachts: Home( 49,8m, 2017, Heesen Yachts), winner of the 2017 MYS / RINA Award, given to the most environmental-friendly yacht at the MYS; the Italian superyacht Seven Sins( 52m, 2017, Sanlorenzo), winner of the 2017 MYS Interior Design Award; and the megayacht Jubilee( 110m, 2017, Oceanco) which received two awards: the 2017 MYS Exterior Design Award and the 2017 MYS Finest New Superyacht Award. www. monacoyachtshow. com

For its second year of operation the Car Deck was again a great success, with the exhibition of 16 exclusive thoroughbred cars like the new Bentley Continental GT, unveiled for the first time in Europe at the Monaco Yacht Show. The classic cars by Mercedes-Benz, integrally rebuilt by Hemmels, or the iconic Cobra models by the US manufacturer Shelby – represented by Gentleman Car – generated business leads that will surely turn into sales in the coming weeks. Hoffmann & Novague, with the limited series of their HN R200 sports car, also enjoyed a successful first participation in the Car Deck. Aston Martin, Lamborghini, McLaren and Mercedes-Benz rounded up the exclusive exhibition. Launched in 2016, the Car Deck exhibition is a response to this natural convergence between yachting and the luxury car manufacturers, whether for joint projects or for the buyers of rare prestige cars who would like to discover the world of yachting.
An exhibition extended to the whole of Port Hercules
Extension of the 2017 MYS to the entire port made for greater fluidity of movement between the historic exhibition areas( Darse Sud, Parvis Piscine and the other quays) and the new tent on Quai Albert Ier or the Quai Antoine Ier, reorganised to provide a superyacht lifestyle environment. Exhibitors and visitors could discover the Starboard, the new exhibition lounge with its outdoor restaurant overlooking the port and a direct access to the Car Deck and to Tenders & Toys. Travel within the port was made easier by the various transport services including electric golf carts, shuttle boats and the MYS official application that calculated the fastest way to reach a stand or a yacht.
