Press release – 24 October 2025
In September 2025, the Monaco Yacht Show transformed Port Hercule into the world capital of yachting for four days. This behind-the-scenes documentary reveals the millimetre-perfect choreography that makes it happen—without ever slowing Monaco.
Watch the videoOne month after the opening of the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show, this exclusive documentary—produced by the TV channel Monaco Info—lifts the veil on an extraordinary feat of urban and maritime engineering.
Cameras follow the 25-day build-up and 11-day dismantling of a dual on-land and in-water exhibition that welcomes 120 superyachts and 16,000 m² of exhibition structures and tents, all while the Principality keeps moving. From guided truck convoys arriving from Nice, France, to minute-by-minute synchronisation between quayside crews and harbour pilots, the documentary features a living worksite operating at full scale: 400–450 trucks, 390 stands (≈80% custom-built), and tightly controlled traffic windows (7:30–9:30 a.m.) to thread the event through daily life.
At the heart of the story is a unified coordination framework uniting Monaco’s authorities and organizers around a single technical dossier—layouts, milestones, and traffic flows—that turns complexity into precision.
Through the voices of the teams on the ground and at sea, “Dans les coulisses du Monaco Yacht Show 2025” (Behind the Scenes of the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show) captures how an entire city and port are orchestrated to deliver a flawless showcase of yachting excellence.
