How to Attend the Monaco Yacht Show?
Visitor pass, the organiser's VIP programmes, Wednesday access, visits by appointment: what each option opens, and who sells it.
Last updated 5 October 2026 · 3 min read
To attend the Monaco Yacht Show, you need a ticket sold by the organiser, on its website, online only: there are no sales on site. For the 2026 edition, the range included a Visitor pass for one to three days, from Thursday to Saturday, and VIP programmes sold by the organiser, which also open Wednesday, the opening day reserved for guests. The organiser's terms prohibit the resale of tickets and their inclusion in a hospitality or travel package. On-board visits are by appointment only, set with the exhibitor. Ticketing for 2027 is not yet open. TGZ Conciergerie neither sells nor resells any ticket: we can arrange its purchase from the organiser, in your name, and organise the stay around it.
A single way in: the organiser's ticket
The Monaco Yacht Show sells no tickets on site: everything is bought in advance, online, on the organiser's website, and the ticket is shown at the entrance in digital form. Tickets remain the property of the organiser and cannot be transferred, except to the members of the group for whom they were bought.
The organiser's terms are clear: a ticket cannot be resold, nor included in a hospitality or travel package without its written consent; a ticket bought from an unauthorised source is void. TGZ Conciergerie is an independent house, with no affiliation with the show or with Informa, and no official status: we neither sell nor resell any ticket. We can arrange its purchase from the organiser, in your name and on its terms — never in a package.
The options
The table below reproduces the range published by the organiser for the 2026 edition, as a reference point. The content of each option is set by the organiser for each edition and may change: we check the 2027 range with you as soon as it opens.
| Option | Who it is for | What it opens | What TGZ can do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visitor pass | Any visitor | The show areas, for one to three days, from Thursday to Saturday | Arrange the purchase from the organiser, in your name |
| À la carte VIP programme | Visitors who want more independence | One to four days, including the Wednesday preview, dedicated entrances and lounges | Arrange the purchase in your name; compose the stay around it |
| Prestige VIP programme | Buyers and charterers who want support from the organiser | Four days, the organiser's concierge service, transfers from Nice, opening evening | Arrange the purchase in your name; duplicate nothing it includes |
| Exhibitor invitation | Clients invited by a shipyard or a broker | Depending on the invitation, including Wednesday | Nothing to buy: we organise the stay |
| Crew passes, press passes | Crews of yachts not on display; journalists | Dedicated areas, on registration and conditions | Point you in the right direction; eligibility is for the organiser to decide |
Wednesday, the opening day
On Wednesday, access to the show is reserved for guests and certain options; in 2026, the pontoon area was reserved that day for private clients. It is the calmer day for anyone with appointments on board. Entry is with an exhibitor invitation — often passed on by your broker — or with one of the organiser's VIP programmes.
We sell and promise no invitation: it is a matter for the exhibitor. If your broker sends you one, we simply arrange your arrival the day before.
On-board visits: by appointment
According to the organiser, the yachts on display can be visited only by appointment, set with the exhibitor and at its discretion. A ticket opens the quays, not the decks. Exhibitors' diaries fill up quickly: it is wise to set appointments several weeks in advance.
This is your broker's role: your broker selects the vessels that match your project, books the appointments and accompanies you on board. TGZ is not a broker and does not arrange visits; we build your days around the diary your broker has set.
What cannot be bought
The show's opening evening and the receptions given by exhibitors on board or on the quays are held at the invitation of their host. They cannot be bought: any offer of a "place" should arouse suspicion. We do not sell them and do not promise them.
Likewise, a ticket bought outside the organiser's website offers no assurance: its terms declare it void. The only safe route is to buy from the organiser, in your name.
