Monaco Yacht Show Adventure Area Expands to 72 Tenders

The Monaco Yacht Show has expanded its Adventure Area to a fleet of 72 tenders for the 2026 edition, creating its largest tender display yet. The vessels will be spread across Quai Jarlan and two afloat exhibitions at Quai Antoine Ier during the show from 23 to 26 September.

The expansion matters to the superyacht sector because tenders and chase boats are increasingly substantial projects in their own right. Monaco’s dedicated display gives owners, captains and project teams a concentrated view of craft intended to extend yacht operations beyond the mothership.

A third quay adds 15 tenders

New for 2026 is a third quay near the Quai Antoine Ier entrance, adding 15 tenders to the Adventure Area. Monaco Yacht Show’s current online tender list records 72 matching vessels, confirming the scale announced in its 15 September briefing.

The list ranges across limousine tenders, RIBs, chase boats and larger performance craft. Several exceed 12 metres, underlining how the tender sector now overlaps with sophisticated standalone yacht construction and high-performance engineering.

Beyond the tender fleet

The Adventure Area also includes the show’s water-toy exhibition and luxury vehicles presented under the Top Marques Monaco Pavilion. Together, these displays focus on equipment and experiences that support how owners and guests use a superyacht once they leave the main vessel.

Water toys are located along Quai Antoine Ier, while the tender exhibitions occupy Quai Jarlan and Quai Antoine Ier. Access arrangements vary during the show, with the dockside tender exhibition opening more broadly from Thursday after Wednesday’s restricted access.

Blue Wake reaches 60 exhibitors

The same Monaco Yacht Show briefing says Blue Wake brings together 60 exhibitors showcasing independently assessed solutions intended to reduce the environmental impact of yachts. The recognised areas include energy, propulsion, materials, water management and smart systems.

That combination makes the Adventure Area more than a lifestyle display. For yacht owners and professionals attending Monaco, it now brings together tender selection, leisure equipment and a growing range of environmental technologies within one part of the show.
