Making Waves: Highlights From The Monaco Yacht Show 2025

Netted Sale

Heesen Yachts rounded off this year's Monaco Yacht Show by announcing the sale of 55-metre superyacht, Agnetha. In a statement, the Dutch shipyard's chief commercial officer, Ruud van der Stroom, said: "The completion of this sale marks the end of a successful Monaco Yacht Show in Heesen’s new era. It demonstrates our belief that our brand is best presented in person on the water. It has been a pleasure to work with Ian Harris of Phoenix Yacht Management and his team. We are proud to be able to deliver a superyacht that is truly turnkey.”

Decked out with warm tones and plush fabrics, the vessel, which is the latest member of Heesen’s 55-metre steel series, can accommodate up to 12 guests across six spectacular staterooms, including a generous master on the main deck. Aesthetics aside, Agnetha is a feat of engineering, equipped with an ultra-efficient Fast Diplacement hull and two IMO Tier III engines which enable the yacht to achieve a top speed of 15.5 knots.

Dazzling Debut

Dutch shipyard Feadship chose Monaco to unveil its latest entry into the explorer yacht genre, a 79.50-metre steel-hulled, high-volume build by the name of Valor. Engineered for cold climates, the striking vessel features a two-metre ice belt above and below the waterline, achieving a Bureau Veritas Young Ice 2 notation. Beyond this, heat exchangers have been installed to recycle and capture latent energy, allowing Valor to tackle challenging Arctic conditions.

In keeping with Feadship’s commitment to energy-conscious innovation, Valor is powered by a hybrid diesel-electric, solar and battery-powered propulsion system, and can operate in zero-emission mode for up to 48 hours. Additional features include a contra-flow infinity pool, accommodation for 14 guests in six suites, a sky lounge, two jacuzzis, a gym and a fully equipped beach club with fold-down terraces.

Italian Innovation

Italian shipyard Rossinavi proudly presented M/Y BEL1 at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show. Combining beauty and efficiency in equal measure, the fully customised aluminium 50-metre superyacht sparkled in all its glory.

A collaboration between the Italian shipyard and Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design, the ultra-sleek vessel features a lower deck comprising four cabins, an enclosed beach club, a gym, a large sundeck and a mini pool. The yacht’s interiors can be attributed to Team For Design and Enrico Gobbi, in collaboration with designer Carlo Lionetti.
