The Coolest Yachts Confirmed For The 2025 Monaco Yacht Show (So Far)
Breakthrough will be one of the largest, if not the largest, yacht at the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show. Each September, the Monaco Yacht Show draws the world's most dazzling superyachts to Port Hercules. While the 2025 edition (held between 24 - 27 September 2025) is still shaping up, a few standout vessels have already been confirmed by the organizers. This shortlist is full of brand-new 2025-delivered superyachts, so this is the ultimate must-see selection if you're thinking about attending the the boat show in Monte Carlo this year… 389-Feet Breakthrough Breakthrough is one of the most innovative yachts ever built, allegedly commissioned for Bill Gates. Feadship's largest new delivery of the year, Breakthrough is exactly what her name promises. This 389-foot marvel pushes boundaries in both scale and sustainability, with a hydrogen-powered fuel-cell system which is the first of its kind in the world. When engaged, the fuel cell system will use no combustion whatsoever and will produce nothing but water as a byproduct. Rumor has it she features a two-deck glass atrium and a fully-fledgd private owner's apartment that's nestled inside the yacht. The yacht is listed for sale with Edmiston and will be attracting plenty of attention on the docks of Monaco. 263-Feet Al Reem Bilgin's third unit of its 263 series has some unique touches. Turkish yacht builder Bilgin is bringing the third unit in its series to the Monaco Boat Show, but Al Reem is significantly different to her sisters. The yacht, which has a name meaning gazelle in Arabic, boasts around 20 per cent more interior volume than her predecessors, meaning boat show attendees will get to see a fresh take on an existing series. Inside, expect Art Deco-inspired touches, a cinema room, and a wellness area that rivals a five-star spa. 260-Feet Valor Valor features a two metre ice belt for high-latitude exploration. Fellow Feadship build Valor will be easily recognizable on the docks of Port Hercules thanks to her exterior lines. "The owner had three directives," explais de Voogt designer Chris Bottom. "First, he requested something that 'would be recognizable from outer space' as a unique design and eschewed both the wedding cake and common curvaceous designs found on so many common yachts." Other cool features include cherry-picked Italian stone on the interior and a high-grade record player and selection of vinyl records. No doubt she'll be a popular addition to the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show lineup. 202-Feet Simena The yacht has "military grade build quality". A bold addition from Turkish yard Ares, Simena is a steel-hulled Turkish-built ketch named after an ancient city in Turkey's Antalya province. The yacht was 'designed for a true connoisseur', according to Piraye Sahinkaya Orhun, Yachts Projects Director at Ares Yachts. He points out: 'With a cruising speed of 11 knots and a top speed of 14.5, she offers transatlantic range even without sails. She's perfect for any voyage in luxury and comfort.' Mahogany, teak, leather and Calacatta Oro marble feature across Simena's Design Unlimited-interiors, and she has an impressive 12-guest layout. Northrop and Johnson have the boat listed for sale, and Ares Shipyard is one of the exciting new superyacht brands to have on your radar in 2025. 196-Feet O'Madeleine The yacht is available for rent from €390,000 per week. Cool new O'Madeleine is the latest vessel to launch from Greece's Golden Yachts. Her Studio Vafiadis exteriors hide a Nordic-meets-Mediterranean interior style from the drawing boards of Italian studio Massari. 'From the finely grained wood panelling that lines the walls to the textured stingray leather, handwoven rugs, straw panels and hand-carved marble, there is a palpable sense of authenticity and craftsmanship' said a representative from Massari. Golden Yachts is no stranger to making a splash in Monaco, and this latest launch is sure to be another must-see. 180-Feet Rose The yacht has an innovative Nemo lounge that lets guests look out below the surface of the sea. Tankoa's Rose was commissioned for a young entrepreneur with a lifelong passion for yachting. The owner was closely involved throughout the project, helping to modify the layout and introduce the concept of two Jacuzzis and the new Piero Lissoni interiors. Rose also has one of the most exciting features currently on the market in the superyacht world – a semi-submerged Nemo Lounge that sits just below the waterline to offer views underneath the surface of the sea. 177-Feet Riva 54 Metri Iconic yachtbuilder Riva has expanded its fleet with its new model. Riva's highly-anticipated flagship makes her Monaco debut this year. At 177 feet, the Riva 54 Metri is a sleek, silver-hulled stunner that fuses old-school glamour with modern design. Expect polished mahogany, stainless steel detailing, and enough James Bond energy to turn heads in Port Hercules. 163-Feet Bel1 The yacht was designed by Fulvio de Simoni with an interior by Enrico Gobbi. With a design inspired by supercars, Bel1 is a next-gen superyacht with a sharp, futuristic silhouette that's sure to catch attention at Monte Carlo's boat show. Her builder Rossinavi has given her an expansive 145 square metre sundeck with mini pool and opening balconies attached to the lounge. Inside, expect bold interiors by an A-list design team and clever spatial planning that makes her feel far larger than her footprint. 193-Feet Maximus Wellness facilities include a gym room that converts into a massage suite. Known as a 'wolf in sheep's clothing', the Germán Frers-designed ketch boasts twin cockpits and ample on-deck lounging areas. Inside, the Vitters build offers a full‑beam owner's cabin with direct deck access, his‑and‑hers bathrooms and a steam shower, plus a baby Steinway piano. For uncompromising views, Maximus has a crow's nest atop the main mast that'll offer incredible vistas over the Monaco Yacht Show. Whether you're attending the show in person or following the action from afar, these yachts are the ones to watch. Expect even more jaw-dropping reveals in the weeks leading up to the show, but for now, this fleet is setting a high bar.
