The Monaco Yacht exhibition, held from September 28 to October 1, is a highlight of the worldwide boat exhibition circuit. This year's issue promises to be full of exciting debuts, headline-making yacht news, and high-design highlights. This year's Port Hercules event has a sustainability focus and a gadget-filled adventure section with new water toys and spectacular supercars, as expected in Monaco.
The Yacht Design & Innovation Hub returns for its second year, including seminars, galleries, and displays by yacht architects and designers. However, it's clear that the larger vessels take center stage. These are the superyachts to keep an eye out for at this year's Monaco boat Show, with boat interiors ranging from the traditionally nautical to the outrageously expensive.
Lurssen, Ahpo.
This year's Monaco boat Show will include the 377-foot Ahpo by Lürssen, the biggest boat in the harbor. Nuvolari Lenard, an external and interior designer based in Venice, brought lots of flair and elegance to the vessel with large crystal light fixtures, a mosaic-clad hammam in the vast spa room, and a grand staircase in the middle of the yacht that resembles an olive tree.
Feadship and Rock
The 198-foot Rock.It is not lacking in style: gleaming wood panels with creamy white leather inlays are found throughout; glowing white onyx contrasts with rich black Portoro marble; and the well-dressed owner's cabin rivals the top suite of an old-world European hotel, complete with a warm wood study and claw-footed tub. The sophisticated design may be traced to the Netherlands, where the Dutch shipyard Feadship built the vessel and the Dutch design company Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design handled the interior design.

Sunreef, Kokomo
Sunreef's Eco 80 catamaran, equipped with advanced green technology and lightweight solar panels, is certain to make a splash at the next event.

Kokomo's white color scheme, rattan treatments, and eucalyptus veneers make it both modern and timeless.
Abeking and Rasmussen, B2
At this year's event, German yard Abeking & Rasmussen's 281-foot B2 vessel will showcase an over-$4-million interior overhaul completed in July. Winch Design has created a serene floating sanctuary of indoor-outdoor living spanning five decks, the highlight of which is the main deck's glass-bottom pool, located above the light-filled beach club lounge with fold-down balconies that extend the living space right to the water's edge.
