The countdown has begun for the Monaco Yacht Show 2025, with assembly works set to start on 30th August across Port Hercule and surrounding areas, ahead of the Principality’s most prestigious international yachting event.
The Monaco Yacht Show 2025 will take place from 24th to 27th September, bringing together the world’s leading shipyards, brokers, and luxury brands. With its significant economic and cultural impact on the Principality, preparations for the show require an extensive logistical operation, which will begin at the end of this month.
From 30th August, installation works will be concentrated around Port Hercule, affecting the Quai des États-Unis, avenue J.F. Kennedy, the Route de la Piscine, and the port’s quays. From 8th September, activities will extend to the Quai Antoine Ier.
Traffic and safety adjustments
To ensure safety during the construction and assembly phase, temporary parking bans and changes to traffic circulation will be implemented. Certain zones may be closed entirely for short periods.
Despite these constraints, the State Services and event organisers say they have worked closely to introduce mitigating measures. These include easing restrictions at peak hours, allowing for school drop-offs nearby, and maintaining delivery access through adapted circulation plans.
Closures during the event
The Route de la Piscine will be closed from 15th September to 1st October, though it will remain open in the Portier–Quai Antoine Ier direction during morning rush hours. Exceptions will apply on the day before the opening of the show, as well as the three days following its closure.
Additionally, from 8th September, a dedicated parking area for two-wheelers will be made available on the avenue de la Quarantaine to offset the occupation of Quai Antoine Ier.
Returning to normal
Public spaces will be progressively reopened from 28th September, with a complete return to normal expected by 9th October.
