Luxury yachts on show

Tomorrow sees the opening of the 19th Monaco Yacht Show.

Once again Port Hercule will host the show from 23rd to 26th September. More than 500 companies are exhibiting products and services to an expected 30,000 visitors, including private clients, professionals and press from around the world. The most luxurious 25-90 meter yachts are expected, 100 of which will be moored in the harbour.

Once again the show is carbon neutral, guaranteeing to pay an eco-tax to finance international environmental projects. In addition, all written communication is being printed on 100% recycled paper. Since the show is a trade event, entry is quite steep at 70 euros, although half of the fee is being given to the Association Monegasque contre les Myopathies (muscular dystrophy). The association will also benefit from a charity auction of Swiss watches taking place on 24th September.
