TRIBUTE TO YACHTING

Photographic exhibition by Guillaume Plisson
Monaco Yacht Show 2025 — Port Hercule | 24–27 September

The 2025 Monaco Yacht Show invited you to see yachting from a fresh perspective.

Through the lens of Guillaume Plisson — renowned for his unique vision of the maritime world — the MYS 2025 presented the photographic exhibition
“Tribute to Yachting”, offering an intimate glimpse into the industry: the beauty of details, the striking design, and the charm of life at sea.

Displayed throughout several areas of the Show, 143 pictures enriched the visitors' journey along Port Hercule docks, encouraging reflection, evoking emotion, and giving you a moment to connect with the true spirit of yachting.

“This exhibition was born from a shared desire with the Monaco Yacht Show: to offer an artistic and emotional perspective on this industry.
Together, we envisioned this exhibition as a condensed retrospective of my photographic work, aiming to showcase the diversity and richness of the yachting world.
Since I was a child, I dreamed of living off my passions. It’s now been 37 years that I’ve been living them fully: I sail to photograph, and I photograph to sail. I am a sailor-photographer.
It’s also my way of saying thank you. Thank you to all of you: the owners, the shipyards, the designers, the crews… and so many others I may forget, but who—often working behind the scenes—are essential to the success of a photographic work like the one you’ll discover in this exhibition.”
- Guillaume Plisson

A preview for the few

On the eve of the Show, during the MYS Grand Opening Night (23 Sep. 2025), a preview of the exhibition was revealed—an intimate foretaste of the visual journey awaiting you along the quays.

Invitation to a slower gaze

Because the yachting world is not only about excellence in engineering—it is also about vision, elegance, and the intangible: that moment when sea, light and craftsmanship converge into something memorable.

Plisson’s work echoes the values at the heart of the Monaco Yacht Show: innovation, design, sustainability, refinement—and above all, emotion.

Tribute to Yachting

This exhibition offered a more intimate perspective on yachting.

It revealed what often goes unnoticed:
The precision of craftsmanship behind the scenes.
The rhythm of those whose lives follow the movement of the sea.
The intention behind every line and every design choice.

Displayed through the Show, these images brought new depth to the experience — An invitation to slow down, take a step back, and reconnect with the essence of yachting.
