Zone Focus: Monaco Yacht Show on Dry Land

By Anna Solomon

The Monaco Yacht Show is globally renowned as attracting the biggest and best yachts in the industry to its shores. However, although the show revolves around the fantastic specimens that flock to Port Hercules year on year, there is also a huge amount to do on dry land. Here is your comprehensive guide to the various luxury zones at MYS 2019…

Sapphire Experience
The Sapphire Experience is MYS’ official VIP visit program reserved in limited edition to the prospective charterers and purchasers of yachts. The Monaco Yacht Show welcomes you to live a bespoke experience with the show visit and activities during your stay in Monaco.

Upper Deck Lounge
A chic and modern environment stretching across two floors, the Upper Deck Lounge is the luxury exhibition and catering area at MYS 2019. The ground floor is dedicated to the exhibition of luxury brands, whilst a lounge bar and indoor terrace boasts an array of fantastic hospitality institutions - the jewel in the crown, arguably, is a first-floor restaurant with a panoramic view of Port Hercules and a VIP lounge exclusively reserved for all MYS visitors. The area is a plush living space right at the heart of the show, and always enjoys high footfall.
