The headlining act closing the Mediterranean season, the Monaco Yacht Show celebrates some of the largest and most prestigious superyachts afloat.

An extensive line-up of motor and sailing yachts from the Burgess central agency sales fleet will be on display, including the largest yacht in the show – the fabulous 90 metre three-masted schooner, Athena.
Clients will be welcomed at stand QH17 on the Quai de l’Hirondelle where professional and experienced Burgess brokers will be on hand to offer tours and advice.
