The New Designer Gallery
One of the major changes at the Monaco Yacht Show 2026 is the introduction of the new Designer Gallery. Replacing the former Yacht Design & Innovation Hub, the space brings yacht designers together on one continuous platform, creating a stronger connection between visitors and the creative studios shaping the next generation of yachts.
Adjacent to the gallery, the MYS Immersive Experience by VBH explores future yacht projects through interactive 3D environments, giving visitors a closer look at concepts before they reach construction.

Other notable debuts include the 80-metre Pangea, 73.4-metre Silver Fox, Riva 54 Metri, Mangusta 165 REV, Baglietto Fast50, and Sanlorenzo’s new 44-metre yacht.

This year’s winners include Bespoke Projects for recycled-monomer cast acrylic, Termodinamica for marine HVAC technology, and Amico & Co. for sustainable superyacht refit infrastructure.

Yacht Interiors Take Centre Stage
Beyond the yachts themselves, the Monaco Yacht Show 2026 highlights how interior design is becoming central to the superyacht experience. Natural materials, bespoke furniture, integrated technology, wellness areas, and highly personalised spaces are increasingly defining contemporary yacht interiors.
The new Designer Gallery and immersive installations reinforce this shift, placing designers, architects, and creative studios alongside shipyards and yacht brokers as essential contributors to the future of luxury yachting.

A New Vision of Luxury at Sea
The Monaco Yacht Show 2026 demonstrates how the superyacht industry is evolving beyond size and spectacle. Design, technology, sustainability, and personalisation are becoming equally important to the experience of owning or chartering a yacht.
For the world of collectible interiors, this evolution is particularly relevant. Bespoke furniture, sculptural objects, refined materials, and exceptional craftsmanship can transform yacht interiors into highly curated private environments , a philosophy that closely connects with Boca do Lobo’s approach to contemporary luxury design.
