For another year, the Monaco Yacht Show has drawn to a close and so too has the summer yachting season; few Monaco yacht charters will be visiting Port Hercules from now until next year, which offers the perfect opportunity to reflect. A cacophony of yacht horns sounded to signify the end of Europe’s largest yacht show for another year. Silver Star Yachting was in attendance at the event; we took the opportunity to meet with clients, friends, partners and other yachting professionals. Here, we summarise 10 of our highlights of the Monaco Yacht Show 2017.

1. M/Y JUBILEE

Recently launched, M/Y JUBILEE was the largest superyacht to ever feature at the Monaco Yacht Show. She dazzled visitors with her unique exterior design and scooped two awards at the Monaco Yacht Show Awards ceremony.

2. The AM37 Tenders

The AM37 is Aston Martin’s latest attempt at delving into the world of yachting, and the spectacular tender does not disappoint. VIP guests were welcomed aboard the AM37 throughout the event.

4. This Mercedes 300SL

While stunning superyachts were the main order of the day, the Monaco Yacht Show does cater for those with alternative interests. In 2017, automotive fans were kept entertained by the dazzling Car Deck, which displayed a collection of luxury supercars. This Mercedes 300SL stole the show, with its classic aesthetic and unparalleled sense of style.
