Come on board in Monaco
The Monaco Yacht Show runs from Wednesday 23 to Saturday 26 September 2026 at Port Hercule. Four of our brokers are there for the full week, and we can take you aboard any of the charter yachts below.Most of the fleet is closed to anyone walking the quay. Going aboard with a broker who already knows the boat, the crew and the charter terms turns a day of looking at hulls into a shortlist for next summer.
Tell us which yachts you want to see and we will book the slots around your day.
What a day at Port Hercule gives you.
- Walk her at full scale. Volume, proportion and the way light moves through a 60 metre interior are the things no photograph carries.
- Spend time with the captain and chief stewardess. They run your week, and meeting them is the surest way to know whether a yacht suits your family.
- Hear your broker's candid read, on board. We have been through most of these yachts and will tell you where each one is exceptional and where it is not.
- Meet the broker who will plan your summers. Most of our clients come back for years. An hour on deck together is worth more than any amount of correspondence.
- See the whole fleet in one harbour. For one week in September the yachts you have been comparing on paper are all alongside, minutes from each other.
- Be part of the show. More than 120 superyachts at Port Hercule, the Wednesday reserved for invited guests, and the Riviera at the close of the season.

SILVER FOX
The biggest charter yacht on our Monaco list
A brand new 72 m Sanlorenzo running diesel-electric azipods, so she is unusually quiet for her size. Worth walking through if you are weighing one very large yacht against two smaller ones.
- Sauna, hammam, cold plunge pool, and a dedicated massage and hairdresser room
- Elevator between decks and step-free access, rare at this size and genuinely useful for older guests
- Kids' room in the beach club with 4 bunk beds, so families are not splitting cabins
SCOTT FREE
Circumnavigator with a 12 million euro refit
German build, already once around the world, and a 12 million euro refit in 2022 that makes her read far newer than 2009. The four lower deck cabins interlink into 2 full-beam VIP suites.
- Interlinking lower deck cabins convert into 2 king suites with private lounges
- 6th multipurpose cabin on the bridge deck works as a nanny cabin, kids' room, or beauty room
- Zero speed stabilisers, so she stays flat at anchor as well as underway
RELIANCE
Newest Heesen on the list, with a serious beach club
A 2023 Heesen and the yard's first collaboration with Luca Dini. Go and see the beach club: the gym opens straight onto the swim platform, with a sauna and hammam at water level.
- Beach club with a Technogym gym that opens directly onto the swim platform
- Sauna and hammam down at water level, not squeezed into a lower deck corridor
- Sun deck Jacuzzi ringed by sun pads, with a bar splitting the sunbathing and lounging ends
REVERIE
Feadship pedigree, shallow draft, and the best toy list here
An aluminium Feadship with a 12 million dollar refit behind her and a machinery upgrade in 2025. Her 5 kings and 1 queen make her the obvious pick for 6 couples.
- 5 king cabins and 1 queen, so 6 couples all get a proper bed and nobody compromises
- Semi-displacement hull with a shallow 2.3 m draft, which opens up anchorages bigger yachts skip
- Inflatable beach club with a netted swimming pool and a slide
ELA
Heesen with a fresh 2026 refit and a foredeck cinema
A 2021 Heesen fresh out of a 2026 refit, so she is about as close to new as a 5 year old yacht gets. The Cristiano Gatto interior is unusually bold for a charter yacht.
- Open-air cinema set up on the main deck forward, with padded flooring and sun loungers
- Owner's suite forward on the main deck with a 2.2 m double shower in Titanium Travertine marble
- Full-beam VIP plus 2 doubles and 2 twins with Pullman berths on the lower deck
PARA BELLUM
The explorer option, with a waterslide off the upper deck
A 2023 Sanlorenzo built as an explorer rather than a standard tri-deck, which shows in the volume and the tender she carries. The most family-oriented boat on this list.
- Waterslide from the upper deck straight into the water
- 8.66 m XO Explr 10 tender with an enclosed cabin, air conditioning, and its own crew cabin
- 2 jet skis, 2 Seabob F5S, wakeboard, paddleboards, kayak, and adult and children's water skis
AMICA MEA
Dutch-built Hakvoort with real transatlantic range
A rare Royal Hakvoort with a steel hull good for 6,000 nautical miles. Her strength is the social layout: a half-moon bar, a separate formal dining room, and a skylounge cinema.
- 6,000 nautical mile range, so she is genuinely capable of ocean crossings
- Skylounge with a projector screen and surround sound for movie nights
- Main deck master with a lounge, study desk, and a marble Jacuzzi tub in the ensuite
GIOIA
2024 Codecasa, the newest Italian build on the list
Codecasa builds fewer yachts than most Italian yards and they hold their value accordingly. Semi-displacement with a flybridge, so she takes 12 guests in a hull that still feels intimate.
- Raised Jacuzzi on the sun deck with sun pads around it and a sit-up bar nearby
- Main deck master with a central king bed, its own lounge, dressing room, and marble bathroom
- 2 doubles and 2 twins with Pullman berths below, all en suite
WABASH
A 100 square metre sun deck on a 40 m hull
The best deck-space-to-length ratio here: a 100 square metre sun deck on a 40 m hull, which is what you would expect 10 m longer. Refit in 2025.
- 100 square metre sun deck with a midship bar, plus a separate secluded seating nook forward
- Main deck master with a private study and an ensuite with both a steam shower and a sauna
- Fold-down transom beach club at the water's edge, with SeaBobs, e-foils, and a waterslide
WINDKIND
Brand new sailing catamaran, and the easiest yes on budget
The odd one out, deliberately. A 2026 Fountaine Pajot Thira 80 at a completely different price point, and the comparison to make in person if you have only been quoted motor yachts.
- 5 double cabins for 10 guests, all en suite, no twin or bunk compromise
- Jacuzzi on the main deck and a foredeck with loungers instead of the usual trampoline netting
- Folding side balconies that noticeably widen the deck at anchor
Meet us at the Monaco Yacht Show.
All four of us are at Port Hercule for the full week. Call, message or email whoever you already deal with, and we will set the viewings up around your day.
Who is Daniel?
Daniel Asmus, owner and charter broker
Daniel founded DMA Yachting in 2016 with Martina, after circumnavigating the world with his family and spending eight years running charter yachts as a captain across the Mediterranean and Caribbean. He has stood on the other side of the passerelle, which is why his read on a yacht is about how the week will actually run rather than how she photographs.
“Daniel is always fantastic an we only use DMA for charters or any of our broker needs. You can be sure that Daniel will be there every step of the way before, during and after your charter. He is always working to make sure that your experience is smooth so you can relax and enjoy your trip. [...] If you need to buy or charter DMA is without a doubt the best.”

Who is Martina?
Martina Asmus, owner and charter broker
Martina co-founded DMA Yachting in 2016 and has booked more than 200 charters since. Before that she spent seven years working on board in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, so she knows what separates a yacht that looks right on paper from one that runs well with twelve guests aboard. She works in English and German.
“Martina made the planning easy and convenient. And our cruise was absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend.”

Who is Nadja?
Nadja Asmus, charter broker
Nadja spent nearly twelve years at sea as interior manager and purser on superyachts from 45 to 75 metres, and was a finalist for Chief Stewardess of the Year in 2018. She also served four years as the owner's interior consultant through a 75 metre new build, so she knows these yachts from the inside out. The French Riviera and Monaco are her home water.
“We had a great experience booking our yacht charter with Nadja Asmus at DMA. From start to finish Nadja was extremely helpful in finding us the perfect yacht for our group and stayed in touch throughout our holiday to make sure everything was going to plan. We will definitely contact Nadja again for future trips.”

Who is John?
John Boullin, charter broker
A former Royal Navy navigator turned shipbroker and professional captain, John has crossed the Atlantic under sail and run charter yachts in the Caribbean, with a decade in shipping and finance in London in between. He is the person you want reading a weather window or an itinerary, and he is quick and direct about what will and will not work.
“I have chartered a few times and mostly from one of the big brokerage companies that advertise very heavily in Boat International. John Boullin gave me the impression that he genuinely cared, which is unusual in this industry. I would have no hesitation in recommending DMA Yachting and John in particular. I would also like to recommend M/Y Akasti, which was the San Lorenzo that we chartered in Greece. The boat, the crew and the food were exceptional.”

Monaco Yacht Show 101.
When is the Monaco Yacht Show 2026, and what are the hours?
Wednesday 23 to Saturday 26 September 2026, at Port Hercule in Monaco. Doors are open 10:00 to 18:30 Wednesday to Friday, and 10:00 to 18:00 on the Saturday. The Wednesday is access by invitation only, so a publicly bought pass starts you on the Thursday.
Do I need a ticket, and what does it cost?
Talk to us before you buy anything. The show is ticketed and passes are sold online only, with none available at the gate, but there is more than one route in. Public passes for 2026 are listed at 400 euros for the Wednesday with the dockside area excluded, 700 euros for one day, 1,300 for two days and 2,070 for three, all including VAT. There is also an Exhibitor Guest badge, which the show describes as being for yacht buyers and charterers and which covers the dockside area from the Wednesday. Which route makes sense depends on the days you want and the yachts you want to see, so tell us your plan first.
How many yachts are there, and can all of them be chartered?
Expect more than 120 superyachts in the harbour, plus around 60 tenders. The part worth knowing in advance is that the fleet is mixed: a large share of the yachts on display are there to be sold rather than chartered, and there is no sign on the passerelle telling you which is which. The charter fleet is a smaller subset. Every yacht on this page is available to charter.
What does my ticket actually give me access to?
Your pass gets you into the exhibition areas and along the docks, which is where you see the yachts from the outside. Going aboard is a separate thing entirely. The show is explicit that onboard visits happen at the discretion of the exhibiting shipyards and brokers, which in practice means by appointment, arranged in advance by someone with a relationship with that yacht. That is the part we handle for you.
Do we have to book a charter in order to view a yacht?
No. A viewing carries no obligation and costs you nothing. Crews expect that most people coming aboard during show week are still deciding, and plenty of our clients view in September and book months later, or not at all. Tell us honestly where you are in the process and we will set expectations with the crew accordingly.
How many yachts can we realistically see in a day?
Three or four is a comfortable day. Each viewing runs around 30 minutes, the berths are spread along the quay, and crews are running back to back appointments all week, so the gaps between slots matter as much as the slots. If you want to see more than four, spread them across two days rather than compressing them.
Where should we stay during show week?
Book early, and do not assume Monaco. Rooms in the principality go months ahead of show week and are priced accordingly. Cap d'Ail, Beaulieu sur Mer, Villefranche and Nice are all a short drive or train ride away and considerably easier to get into. Nice airport is roughly 30 minutes by car, or about 7 minutes by helicopter. If you would rather be on the water for the week, ask us about chartering in Monaco around the show.
