The Monaco Yacht Show is introducing a new addition to this year’s event, with BOAT International partnering to launch the BOAT Lounge, a dedicated new space at the heart of the show designed specifically for the global yachting community.
Billed as more than just a physical space, the BOAT Lounge is intended to reimagine what a yacht show experience can offer, providing owners, industry leaders and visitors with a refined setting to conduct business, build connections and engage with the ideas shaping the sector, whether pausing between meetings, holding informal conversations, or simply soaking in the atmosphere of the show.
At the centre of the new space sits BOAT Radio, a brand-new live podcast series bringing together some of the industry’s most prominent voices. Throughout the week, owners, designers, shipyards, brokers and other leading figures will take part in live, candid discussions covering the trends, innovations and stories currently shaping the future of yachting. Visitors will be able to drop into recordings as they happen and take part in post-session conversations, extending the exchange between speakers and audience well beyond the recording itself. Every session will also be made available afterward via the BOAT International and Monaco Yacht Show websites, allowing the conversations to continue long after the event wraps up.
Organisers say the lounge has been designed with a broad audience in mind, from owners exploring their next yacht project to brokers meeting clients and first-time visitors discovering the world of superyachting for the first time. Programming will run throughout the week, opening with a dedicated Opening Conference on Wednesday, followed by daily live sessions, curated talks and evening happy hours, positioning the BOAT Lounge as one of the must-visit destinations at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show.
