Prooving its status as the worlds leading Super Yacht Show as the Monaco Yacht Show draws record international clientele at premier for elite superyacht charter crafts.

The 20th Monaco Luxury Yacht Show opened her harbour doors at Port Hercules on Wednesday 22nd to an expected record number of 28,000 visitors, including many exceptional clients, drawn to the prestigious four day exhibition of over 100 stunning world class, luxury superyachts with an average length of 45m (146ft) and estimated total value of £1.7bn.

The world’s leading international yacht show featured 500 exhibitors from 37 countries, including top superyacht designers and shipyards from Italy, The Netherlands, France, Germa ny, USA, Turkey and the UK. The show is due to end today, 25th September 2010. World Marine Guide has been told that plans are already underway for the next show which again is expected to be bigger and better.

The hope now is that this will generate business with Superyacht builders exhibiting at the ongoing Monaco Yacht Show  expressing optimism for the upcoming season, as the number of serious enquiries at the yards increased during the run up to and at the show.

"We're discussing many projects," Marcello Maggi, joint managing director at Italian shipyard ISA, told journalists. "The perception is that now is a good time to buy."
