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.

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.

Minimalistic yet luxe design features include a dramatic staircase crafted from honeycomb aluminium, flourishes of brushed American walnut, Nappa leather, marble details and Murano glasswork. For an injection of colour, splashes of ochre, marine blue and taupe feature throughout.
