With over 560 companies exhibiting at the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) this year, the event serves as the most renowned platform for showcasing the superyacht industry’s dedication to excellence. The MYS highlights a rich diversity of exhibitors who contribute significantly to the entirety of the industry’s landscape, allowing attendees to immerse themselves in every single sector. We explore the various exhibition areas of the show, emphasising the unique contributions of both well-known and emerging brands; in a showcase of the impressive nature and unwavering excellence of the yachting industry.
The Sustainability Hub
In partnership with the Water Revolution Foundation, the Sustainability Hub serves as the ultimate breeding ground for innovative ideas; showcasing companies committed to reducing the environmental impact of superyachts.
Notable exhibitors include Siemens Energy, the Hub’s sponsor, which focuses on sustainable energy management and propulsion systems, demonstrating a commitment to lowering emissions and enhancing energy efficiency, intending to achieve a net zero carbon footprint by 2030.
Other exhibitors in the Sustainability Hub include Ampros and Attested Rigs, who both also play crucial roles in advancing eco-friendly practices. Ampros is primarily focused on electric propulsion systems for sustainable luxury yachts with their innovations, including high-voltage electric propulsion systems, contributing to the reduction of emissions during cruising.

The Yacht Design and Innovation Hub
The Yacht Design and Innovation Hub is another fundamental area where creativity and craftsmanship are placed at the forefront of the industry. This hub features a range of yacht designers and builders, including Mulder Design, Frers Design and Kurt Merki Jr. These companies and individuals are known for their innovative designs and commitment to quality, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in yacht construction.
Kert Merki Jr is recognised for his bespoke yacht designs and custom builds. Unlike larger shipyards that produce a high volume of yachts, Kirt Merki Jr. operates on a smaller scale, allowing for an exceptional level of attention to detail and customisation to be implemented in each project. His approach often emphasises innovative design and sustainable practices, aligning with the growing demand for eco-friendly solutions in the yachting sector.
