The 2015 edition of the Monaco Yacht Show will underline the beginning of a new era as the show will celebrate its 25th edition, but above all because it will display a new look with extra berths and a reorganisation of its exhibition area.
Relocation of the Darse Nord to Quai Antoine 1er. The reorganisation of the 2015 MYS results from a decision by the Monaco Government to start the renewal works of Port Hercules that involves the construction of new underground car parks and the repositioning of the Museum containing the private collection of antique cars of HSH Prince Rainier III. As a consequence, the historical exhibition area of the Darse Nord will move to Quai Antoine 1er. Quai Antoine 1er will be able to deliver an aggregate of 2,825 sqm of surface area - divided into two air-conditioned exhibition tents (Quai Antoine 1er A – 400 sqm - and Quai Antoine 1er B - 2,425 sqm) - this space enables us to relocate most of the exhibitors of the former Darse Nord tent.
Extension of the afloat exhibition up to the Quai Rainier III
The information had been disclosed in July 2013 during the announcement of the partnership between the Monaco Yacht Show, the Yacht Club de Monaco and the Société d’Exploitation des Ports de Monaco (S.E.P.M.): from 2015, the MYS will offer three berths alongside the Quai Rainier III that will be able to welcome very large yachts over 100 metres in length. This will take the afloat exhibition capacity to 121 super & megayachts.
This new setting on the southern side of Port Hercules will require the development of a new and coherent homogeneous traffic flow between all the existing and new exhibition areas.
Once you’re in, you can go anywhere!
Now that the show will be extended from Jetée Lucciana down to Quai Rainier III, the 2015 MYS will reinforce its reception, information and transportations services throughout the show site to enable visitors uninterrupted passage along the whole of the Port Hercules waterfront:
- The historic Darse Sud entrance and the show’s courtesy car service will move to the end of Quai Antoine 1er (facing the former Yacht Club de Monaco),
- A new golf car shuttle service is to be introduced to transport visitors inside the show,
- The MYS shuttle boats – with a boat for 50 passengers - will transport the visitors across the port, linking Quai Antoine 1er and the northern side of the Port (Quai des États-Unis, Quai de l’Hirondelle and the new Yacht Club de Monaco),
- More MYS staff will be working throughout the venue to inform visitors,
- There will be more information signage on site to easily reach the new exhibition areas,
- Two parkings areas will be located near to the new entrance. Parking des Pêcheurs and Parking de la Digue which have 600 parking spaces available between them,
‒ A pop-up bar will be located close to the Quai Antoine 1er tent to offer meeting area between exhibitors and visitors to this new zone.
For 25 years, the MYS Organisers have achieved to keep on delivering and developing one of the superyachting community’s favourite market hubs. Every year, 85% of the exhibitors renew their spaces in Monaco. In 2015, more than square metres, they have more importantly renewed their trust in the show. And for this, the show’s organisers guarantee they make every effort to listen and meet the needs of each of them with the finale perspective of celebrating the fascinating superyachting industry altogether.
