This year's edition of the Monaco Yacht Show never stopped surprising us. As the largest event yet, the quantity and quality of the displayed yachts and new projects were outstanding. We left no yacht unseen. We have selected some of the most remarkable yachts presented at the MYS 2014 so you can have a peek at them and feel as you were there yourself.
MONACO YACHT SHOW 2014 NEW PROJECTS:
New Projects is one of the most interesting categories at MYS. It presents today's technological innovations and hints at breakthroughs to come in the near future. Here are some of the vessels that will soon shine at sea.
Vitters Oceanco 85
Vitters Shipyard and Oceanco launched one of their greatest projects, an 85-meter sailing boat that combines outstanding sailing abilities with reliability, state of the art comfort, and luxury. Tripp Design Naval Architecture took care of the exterior design with a clean, high volume superstructure that blurs the boundaries between interior social spaces inside and the outdoor deck areas. Dolker + Voges Studio was in charge of the interior design, with a modern style blending light wood tone and stainless steel details. These associations bring out the best features in both materials and makes this yacht comfortable even at cruising ranges.
There are few yachts this large. Each and every last of them fulfills the greatest expectation of seamen. This luxury yacht doesn't stay behind. It exceeds expectations, making it difficult for other yachts to match its uniqueness.
Royal Huisman
Alice Huisman and Ed Dubois officially revealed their 58m Dubois Sloop, an incredible sailing yacht that can only be described as an edgy, innovative weapon. Dubois Naval Architects and Royal Huisman were in charge of its exterior and overall design. Rick Baker and Tom Morgan were in charge of her interior design. They choose to decorate the interior with beautiful signature furniture pieces made by Francis Sultana. This stunning cruising yacht is more than a pretty face though. It's also a high-performance vessel able to take passengers almost anywhere in the world.
According to Royal Huisman, this nautical beast will be unleash in the spring of 2017.
Heesen Kometa
Heesen presented its largest vessel yet. Kometa is a 70-meter superyacht that has everything you could imagine. Espen Oeino created Kometa's sleek, elegant profile. He worked closely with Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design to accomplish an elegant, classic contemporary design for the interior. Externally, this magnificent yacht has it all, from a 357 square-meters of deck space to a seven-meter swimming pool. The exterior decks offer Jacuzzis, spa space, dining, and even an outdoor cinema. There is no excuse to not have a good time! She can accommodate up to 12 guests in six suites. Heesen has left no detail unattended in the owner's stateroom.
Spaciousness really characterizes this soon-to-be vessel.
Despite its tremendous size, Kometa is a fusion of three different concepts that lets her reach a maximum 30 knots speed, but also let her cruise economically for over 4.000 nautical miles. This means that the technologies of both displacement and semi-displacement hulls will be at use. Therefore, the engineering system will be outstanding, including the revolutionary Fast Displacement Hull Form, a groundbreaking fixed pitch propeller without precedents, and a Rolls Royce central booster jet.
Heesen Yachts paid attention to every detail, producing an extraordinarily complete superyacht. Kometa has already past the initial stages of construction and it is estimated to be delivered in spring 2016.
M/V Yersin
Francois Fiat, Ambassador of La Belle Classe Superyachts, a label created by the Yacht Club de Monaco in 2005 to support owners in their navigation, presented its new project: the M/V Yersin. It's an extraordinary vessel named after the Doctor Alexander Yersin.
M/V Yersin is being built by the Piriou Shipyard in France. This 77-meter vessel, with a capacity for 20 passengers and 20 crew, is intended to navigate in any conditions, including ice exploration. What is so distinctive and impressive of this soon-to-be investigation vessel is its advanced, eco-friendly technology, which goes in hand with the values preached by La Belle Classe. Among other innovative features, we can affirm that this one-of-a-kind ship has an autonomy of 12.000 nautical miles and avoids any exterior or interior pollutants. She will even have space to accommodate an airplane on board.
M/V Yersin has a fundamental role in spreading this green vision and promoting environment protection. This ship is aimed to achieve an A.S.E project: Adventure – Science – Education, three fundamental pillars of global improvement.
The M/V Yersin truly meets the expectations stated in its logo "Leave an imprint without leaving a trace.
Tankoa S 801- 80mt
Tankoa unveiled the designs of several projects. One of them is the amazing Tankoa S 801. which combines breathtaking elegance with an exclusive quality. This project is inspired by Amerigo Vespucci an the Italian Navy's tall ship of 80 meters launched in 1931.
Francesco Paszkowski designed this impressive, rather unknown luxury yacht that will astonish many people as the deck makes them feel that they are floating, suspended between the sea and the sky.
Her wide body and harmoniously balanced deck allow you to enjoy her outside and inside as one. It helps you experience a pure laid-back cruise in complete symbiosis with the environment.
Tankoa flaunts the beauty of this 80-meter ship, and their slogan reflects their work philosophy: Exploring beauty, we found harmony.

YACHTS PRESENTED IN MYS 2014 :
This year over 100 super and mega yachts were presented at Monaco. Below is an elite selection of some of the most distinguished yachts you cannot miss!
Feadship – Como
Como, a 46.22 m motor yacht, is characterized by novelty and originality. Feadship is known for its innovative use of glass in yachts superstructure. Such is the case of Venus and Hampshire II. But Como has taken this to another level, pushing boundaries and giving glass design a new meaning. What truly distinguishes Como is its unprecedented use of glass panels all the way round the yacht. The use of such giant glass structures with so many curves is an effort one cannot pass. The Feadship engineering and design team managed to place the superstructure glass on top of the metal and therefore create a continuous surface.
In charge of the exterior design was Dubois Naval Architects. At first sight, you can appreciate the impact such an important design team has on sailing world. On the other hand, interior designers Redman Whiteley Dixon managed to achieve a masculine, yet calming, ambience. Externally and internally, the attention to details is outstanding. Perfect craftsmanship can be seen, for instance, in her exterior metallic paint.
Como is a perfect example of how an excellent team can bring together bespoke design, innovation, thriving aesthetics, and state of the art engineering. She truly stretches the physical limitations of glass and still maintains a sleek exterior and a classic interior design so the owner feels at home.
Perini Navi - Perseus3
Perini Navi made itself present at the MYS 2014 with the presentation of two incredible vessels. One of these is the Perseus3, the second yacht in their new generation 60m series.
