Press release – 28 07 2022: The Monaco Yacht Show has announced its collaboration with watchmaker Richard Mille, the show’s new official sponsor in a multi-year partnership. This great new partnership with one of the world’s most avant-garde luxury watchmaking brands marks the start of a new chapter in the Monaco Yacht Show’s adventures. Created in 2001 by the brand’s eponymous founder, Richard Mille revolutionised luxury watchmaking with an innovative modern marketing strategy focused on the “ultra-luxury” market. The Swiss brand’s philosophy is perfectly aligned with the MYS’ ambition to cater for a new generation of yachting clients, whose epicurean lifestyle has redefined the rules of superyachting, aka the true quintessence of ultra-luxury. The partnership between the Monaco Yacht Show and Richard Mille thereby embodies the - pretty much self-evident - fusion between these two worlds and their many shared values: luxury watchmaking and yachting are synonymous with a quest for excellence and technological performance, a passion for creativity and high craftsmanship, a love for innovative design and a desire to create tailor-made experiences. Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of Monaco Yacht Show says: “We are delighted to welcome Richard Mille as an official sponsor of the Monaco Yacht Show, starting 2022. This long-term contract reflects our shared commitment towards building a solid, trusting and long-lasting relationship between our two brands. We intend to accompany our customers on a journey filled with ultra-luxurious experiences, by immersing them in the world of yachting and by helping them discover Richard Mille’s characteristic avant-garde approach to luxury watchmaking.” Peter Harrison, CEO of Richard Mille EMEA says: “We are delighted to announce our partnership with the Monaco Yacht Show, whose commitment to promoting creative excellence in the world of superyachts mirrors our own unwavering pursuit of passion, performance, and perfection in …

Press release – 13 June 2022: The 2022 Monaco Yacht Show will mark the unveiling of the Sustainability Hub: this new exhibition area will welcome companies that specialise in technology aimed at reducing superyachts’ environmental footprint. The Sustainability Hub is an incubator for companies that provide innovative or tried-and-true eco-friendly solutions, as well as for budding start-ups working on sustainable alternatives that fit in seamlessly with the yachting world. The exhibition will be located on 200m² in Darse Sud, the tent dedicated to nautical equipment and technology. The Monaco Yacht Show has announced its collaboration with the Water Revolution Foundation in order to select companies that are eligible for the Sustainability Hub. The Sustainability Hub was created as part of the Monaco Yacht Show's eco-friendly approach, which was initiated in 2005. The show thereby serves as a tool to raise awareness on environmental issues within the Monegasque and international yachting community. Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of the MYS: “When the MYS joined the Carbon Neutral programme in 2005, we were already hell-bent on raising environmental awareness. The MYS later joined the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation in 2010 to support their eco-friendly projects. Might I remind you that the yachting industry had barely started taking on a “green attitude” at the time. Our pioneering approach to sustainability in organising the show, which began 18 years ago, now extends to a new dedicated exhibition at the MYS. The MYS constitutes one of the industry’s major voices; a share of social responsibility that we fully assume today. Therefore, the Sustainability Hub was an obvious and logical next step for the Monaco Yacht Show. This brand new area dedicated to eco-friendly yachting alternatives is part of our sustainability programme, which is set to be extended to the logistics and layout of the entire show, here in the port of Monaco. We intend to provide …
