At the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show, 59 eco-sustainable yachting solutions were highlighted through the new Blue Wake™ programme.
In 2025, the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) took a decisive step in its commitment to a more responsible yachting industry with the inaugural Blue Wake™ programme, developed with the support of Water Revolution Foundation and sponsored by Siemens Energy . This initiative marks a major advance in recognising and showcasing more eco-responsible solutions with proven, real-world impact, by providing a selective, evidence-based validation framework to identify the most promising innovations presented at MYS.
At the 34 th Monaco Yacht Show (24–27 Sept 2025), 59 exhibitors were validated against clear criteria covering emissions reduction, material circularity, eco-design and innovation, and the protection of water and marine ecosystems. This first edition confirmed that effective solutions already exist—and deserve to be spotlighted on a global stage to speed up adoption and inspire the entire sector. Practical solutions from a sector in transformation Blue Wake has established the foundations of a structured, exacting framework designed to identify and elevate the sector’s most relevant, durable innovations—while galvanising a more virtuous industry grounded in innovation, transparency and collaboration. The showcased technologies covered a broad spectrum: hybrid and hydrogen propulsion, alternative fuels, optimised energy management, water treatment, recyclable materials, eco-designed furnishings, sustainable marina infrastructure, and environmental digitalisation tools.
