A Breakdown of the MYS GALA Contestants
With the Monaco Yacht Show of 2018 only two weeks away, we take a look at the magnificent yachts competing for the coveted prizes that will be awarded at the MYS Gala on Tuesday 25th September. The 5th Monaco Yacht Show Superyacht Awards is the inaugural event which will officially launch the four-day yacht show, showcasing luxury vessels across this period.
There are four distinct awards up for grabs at the MYS Superyacht Awards this September; MYS Interior Design Award, MYS Exterior Design Award, MYS Finest New Superyacht Award, and the MYS/RINA Award. The MYS/RINA award is given to the eco-friendliest superyacht over 40 metres in length whose construction complies with a series of performance specifications set out by the Italian classification company RINA. This award will be decided by RINA’s representatives, whilst the others are awarded by selected judges.
There are 15 yachts which have been presented to the judges for reward in all categories. The following are a selection of standout features of each of the yachts which will be taken into consideration for each of the award categories.
