Tribute to Yachting: An Artistic Homage to the Soul of the Sea!

From 24 to 27 September 2025, the Monaco Yacht Show once again reaffirmed its reputation as the world’s most prestigious stage for excellence, innovation and elegance in yachting.

Among the highlights of this year’s edition was the Tribute to Yachting photographic exhibition by acclaimed photographer Guillaume Plisson, offering visitors an intimate and poetic immersion into the world of superyachts.

Staged along the quays of Port Hercule, the exhibition featured 143 photographs that invited guests to pause and rediscover the essence of yachting, where sea, light and craftsmanship converge.

Each image revealed the artistry and precision behind every detail, the human stories shaped by life at sea, and the quiet intention that guides every design choice.

This exhibition was born from a shared desire with the Monaco Yacht Show: to offer an artistic and emotional perspective on the world of yachting. Yet nothing would have been possible without the steadfast and tangible support of the entire industry; owners, designers, shipyards, crews… all contributed to making these images possible. By opening access to yachts, by sharing moments at sea, by allowing space for the intuition of my eye, they made it possible to build, year after year, a visual memory of contemporary yachting. Together with the MYS, this exhibition was conceived as a condensed retrospective of this photographic journey, revealing its diversity, its emotions, the richness of a world often elusive and as a grateful tribute to all those who embody the universe of yachting,” explained Guillaume Plisson.

Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of the Monaco Yacht Show, underlined the importance of this initiative: “Tribute to Yachting reflects our ambition to open the Monaco Yacht Show to new forms of expression. In recent years, we have highlighted sustainability, design and lifestyle, but it was equally essential to offer a more personal interpretation of this universe. Through our collaboration with Guillaume Plisson, we have created an artistic experience that reconnects visitors with the emotion that yachting inspires: wonder.”

The exhibition offered an artistic and emotional journey through the beauty, sensitivity and human dimension that lie at the heart of yachting.

The photographs are available for purchase, allowing collectors and enthusiasts to extend this experience beyond the show.
