EVENT
Over 150 private events
Press conferences , product presentations , cocktails on board yachts or on stands , private evening receptions – the enormous range of events organised by the exhibitors during the four days ( and nights !) reflected the importance of public and press relations actions aimed at the high-end international audience and influential media at the Show . On Tuesday 26 September , the Monaco Yacht Show opened the four days of festivities with the MYS Inaugural Gala Party , held this year at Le Méridien Beach Plaza Hotel . 400 privileged guests were invited to the Gala Party during which awards were made to three superyachts : Home ( 49,8m , 2017 , Heesen Yachts ), winner of the 2017 MYS / RINA Award , given to the most environmental-friendly yacht at the MYS ; the Italian superyacht Seven Sins ( 52m , 2017 , Sanlorenzo ), winner of the 2017 MYS Interior Design Award ; and the megayacht Jubilee ( 110m , 2017 , Oceanco ) which received two awards : the 2017 MYS Exterior Design Award and the 2017 MYS Finest New Superyacht Award . www . monacoyachtshow . com

For its second year of operation the Car Deck was again a great success , with the exhibition of 16 exclusive thoroughbred cars like the new Bentley Continental GT , unveiled for the first time in Europe at the Monaco Yacht Show . The classic cars by Mercedes-Benz , integrally rebuilt by Hemmels , or the iconic Cobra models by the US manufacturer Shelby – represented by Gentleman Car – generated business leads that will surely turn into sales in the coming weeks . Hoffmann & Novague , with the limited series of their HN R200 sports car , also enjoyed a successful first participation in the Car Deck . Aston Martin , Lamborghini , McLaren and Mercedes-Benz rounded up the exclusive exhibition . Launched in 2016 , the Car Deck exhibition is a response to this natural convergence between yachting and the luxury car manufacturers , whether for joint projects or for the buyers of rare prestige cars who would like to discover the world of yachting .
An exhibition extended to the whole of Port Hercules
Extension of the 2017 MYS to the entire port made for greater fluidity of movement between the historic exhibition areas ( Darse Sud , Parvis Piscine and the other quays ) and the new tent on Quai Albert Ier or the Quai Antoine Ier , reorganised to provide a superyacht lifestyle environment . Exhibitors and visitors could discover the Starboard , the new exhibition lounge with its outdoor restaurant overlooking the port and a direct access to the Car Deck and to Tenders & Toys . Travel within the port was made easier by the various transport services including electric golf carts , shuttle boats and the MYS official application that calculated the fastest way to reach a stand or a yacht .
