The Monaco Yacht Show 2014 – Set to be the biggest yet!

The Monaco Yacht Show – the world’s greatest homage to the world’s largest, wackiest and most incredible super yachts. 2013 saw another growth in the show with what critics called “the best selection yet” with a revival of the sailing yacht, and several new eco-friendly models such as the Arcadia 35 taking prime positions. We’ve just heard that 2014 is set to be even larger, with 14 new positions available to cater for an increase in demand.

The new locations will make full use of the new Monaco Yacht Club due for completion this year. 118 spaces are now available for up to 120 metre yachts, with an average length per berth of well over 50 metres. The organisers are also allowing for an increase in exhibitors, adding 400 square metres for stands.

Sources say the extension shows a “great sign for economic recovery and major development in emerging markets.” We can’t agree more, and we certainly can’t wait to see the new arrivals for 2014! Keep up to date with the latest industry news and boat show updates by following us on Twitter.

Inspired by our stunning favourite on the idyllic Île de Maurice, DodoLodge is a stunning seafront villa offering unparalleled landscapes on the verge of crystal clear waters of Mauritius. With the villa comes the option to enjoy days out as and when you please on the “DodoBoat,” with or without a skipper! The DodoBoat is available for excursions to neighbouring islands or just activities on the water such as fishing or water skiing.

We love this idea, and our team in the south of France have selected some of their favourite boats for the upcoming season to get the best of both worlds whether you’re taking a vacation in a hotel or a villa on the Riviera.

MINXMINX is a stunning Azimut 68S offering the “open revolution.” She offers the open air feel of a flybridge yacht but with the sporty feel of her open styling creating the perfect flow of bringing the outside in. Her berth in Cap d’Ail means she’s perfect for day charters anywhere from Monaco to Nice!

labelliniLA BELLINI is an eye-catching new Sunseeker Predator 64 based in Golfe Juan. She’s perfect for day charters beginning anywhere from Antibes to Cannes. Her gorgeous classic Sunseeker styling means she’s great to heading down to St Tropez or Pampelonne Beach where she’ll look right at home among the luxury yachts at anchor around the famous beach clubs such as Club 55 or Nikki Beach.
