Smart Yachts at the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show

From 23 to 26 September, the Monaco Yacht Show returns to Port Hercule for its 35th edition

The 2026 fleet is expected to reach 120 superyachts, including 43 yachts delivered this year, bringing together one of the strongest concentrations of newly completed projects on the market. The show covers the full spectrum of the industry, from shipyards and designers to brokerage, construction and yacht <a href="apple.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">management</a>.

Among this year's fleet are two new builds with a particularly important connection to Smart Yachts: the first Admiral Panorama 50, M/Y SPRIBE, and the first KANDO 85, M/Y V.

Both yachts were successfully sold by Smart Yachts. In each case, our involvement continued well beyond the transaction, with the team overseeing the build, working closely with the owners and shipyards throughout construction, and following the projects through to delivery.

Also on display is our 2024 Azimut Grande 26M available for sale, the best-priced and highest-specced Grande 26M yacht currently on the market.

Smart Yachts will be at the Monaco Yacht Show throughout the event at stand JL4, Jetée Lucciana. We would love to show you the yachts.

Admiral Panorama 50: from the first drawings to Monaco

Location: Quai Rainier Ier, R05

Delivered to her owner in July 2026, M/Y SPRIBE is the first yacht from Admiral's new Panorama 50 semi-custom series and will make her official debut at the Monaco Yacht Show. The 50-metre yacht has a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, with design developed by Piredda & Partners together with Admiral Centro Stile.

For Smart Yachts, her arrival in Monaco marks the conclusion of a project that started long before the yacht entered the water. Our team was involved from the initial drawings onwards, following construction, coordinating with the shipyard and representing the owner's requirements throughout the build. Layout, ergonomics, materials and individual finishes were all considered as part of the same process, with the yacht gradually taking shape around the way her owner intended to use her.

One of the most unusual aspects of the Panorama 50 is her accommodation plan. Seven staterooms are distributed across three decks, a configuration more commonly associated with substantially larger yachts.

The owner's suite occupies a private position on the upper deck, surrounded by approximately 180 degrees of glazing and opening forward onto its own terrace. Separating the owner's accommodation from the main guest areas creates a level of privacy rarely found on a 50-metre yacht.

Four guest staterooms are positioned on the main deck, while another two cabins are located aft on the lower deck.

The layout also contains several engineering and architectural details that become much clearer when the yacht is viewed in person. A self-supporting guest staircase links the decks without the visual weight of a conventional enclosed stairwell, while fold-down bulwarks aft on the main deck substantially increase the usable exterior area and open the deck directly towards the sea.

Inside, pale woods and neutral upholstery form the base of the interior, with darker accents and metal detailing used selectively rather than throughout. Large windows provide much of the visual character, particularly in the main living areas and owner's deck, where the relationship between the interior and the surrounding water becomes one of the yacht's defining features.

For Smart Yachts, the Monaco debut is particularly significant. SPRIBE represents not simply a completed sale, but a yacht our team followed from drawings and construction meetings through to her delivery to the owner.

AZIMUT GRANDE 26M: View in Monaco during MYS

Azimut Grande 26M yacht, delivered in 2024, has low engine hours and is well-equipped, boasting a full stabilizer package — zero speed Seekeeper + active fins. She is available for visits in Port Hercule throughout the Monaco Yacht Show.

This Azimut Grande 26M is maintained in better-than-new condition and benefits from exceptionally low engine hours, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a virtually unused vessel without the wait for a new build.

As the best-priced and highest-specced yacht currently on the market, this is an outstanding opportunity for a discerning buyer. We’d love to welcome you on board and show you the yacht in person.

KANDO 85: M/Y V arrives in Monaco

Location: Quai Jarlan, berth J01

Following her world premiere in Cannes, M/Y V will continue to Monaco as part of the 2026 MYS fleet. She is Hull #1 of the KANDO 85 series by AvA Yachts and another new-build project successfully sold by Smart Yachts, with our team closely involved throughout the construction process.

At just under 26 metres, KANDO 85 takes a very different approach from the Panorama 50, but the idea behind the yacht is equally clear. This is a full-displacement explorer built around long-distance cruising, with a steel hull, aluminium superstructure and approximately 200 GT of internal volume. AvA Yachts designed the platform to provide substantially more usable space than might normally be expected at this length.

The four-deck arrangement puts the full-beam owner's suite forward on the main deck, where panoramic windows, a desk and private bathroom create a genuine owner's apartment rather than simply a larger cabin. The salon combines dining and lounge areas, while the enclosed galley can be accessed separately from the port side.

Guest accommodation continues below with a full-beam VIP and two additional convertible cabins. Crew areas, including two crew cabins and a separate mess and galley, are arranged independently to keep working circulation away from the principal guest spaces.

Outside, the yacht uses her considerable beam and displacement hull form to create large, functional deck areas rather than trying to disguise her explorer proportions. The upper deck combines the wheelhouse with exterior seating and bar areas, while the flybridge adds another substantial open-air level for longer periods onboard.

For prospective buyers, M/Y V also provides a valuable opportunity to understand the <a href="https://smartyachts.com/yachts-for-sale/kando85/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">KANDO 85</a> platform before considering Hull #2, which is currently available for sale through Smart Yachts with delivery scheduled for 2028.

Hull #2 develops the concept further rather than simply repeating the first yacht. The jacuzzi has been relocated aft, the flybridge has been extended forward to create more usable deck area, and a hard top has been added above it. These changes give the upper levels more space for seating, dining and sunbathing while retaining the steel-and-aluminium explorer platform and 200 GT volume of Hull #1.

Seeing M/Y V in Monaco makes those dimensions much easier to understand. Specifications can describe volume and deck area, but stepping onboard gives a far better sense of how much yacht has been fitted into a 25.9-metre platform.

Meet Smart Yachts at MYS 2026

Smart Yachts will be at the Monaco Yacht Show throughout the four days of the event at stand JL4, Jetée Lucciana.

With two yachts sold by Smart Yachts appearing in this year's fleet, both following extensive involvement from our team during their construction, MYS 2026 also provides an opportunity to discuss our broader approach to yachting, including yacht sales and new-build projects — from identifying the right yacht or shipyard and negotiating the purchase through to construction supervision and final delivery.
