The Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) is reinforcing its role as a key platform for industry progress with the launch of Blue Wake, a new initiative that will enhance the visibility of more environmentally sustainable solutions throughout the show.

Beginning with the 2025 edition, MYS will ensure that innovations with stronger eco-responsibility are seamlessly integrated across the event, reflecting the industry’s increasing commitment to a more sustainable future.

The decision to launch the Blue Wake programme builds on the valuable experience gained from the Sustainability Hub, which MYS introduced in 2022.

Recognising the increasing importance of sustainability as a core industry focus, MYS is evolving its approach to further support and highlight forward-thinking solutions. Blue Wake is a natural progression of MYS’s ongoing commitment to promoting greater sustainability in yachting, further integrating these advancements into the broader event experience. 

The Blue Wake programme will spotlight companies whose solutions meet rigorous environmental sustainability criteria. Approved exhibitors will receive visibility throughout the show, ensuring that visitors – including yacht owners, builders, investors, and industry leaders – can engage directly with the latest innovations driving environmental sustainability in yachting.

As with the Sustainability Hub, the Water Revolution Foundation will continue to support MYS in identifying impactful solutions that contribute to real progress in the industry.

“Sustainability has become an essential driver of innovation in yachting, and our role at MYS is to provide a platform where these advancements can gain the recognition they deserve.” says Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of the Monaco Yacht Show. 

“With Blue Wake, we are reinforcing this commitment by ensuring that sustainability is an integral part of the event experience, engaging all stakeholders in meaningful discussions about the future of our industry.”

Robert van Tol, Executive Director of the Water Revolution Foundation, adds: “This initiative is about more than visibility – it’s about credibility.

Through a rigorous vetting process, we are ensuring that the solutions presented under Blue Wake genuinely contribute to making the yachting industry more sustainable. It’s an opportunity for companies to demonstrate their commitment and for the industry to continue its progress toward a more responsible future.”

At this stage, it is too early to confirm which exhibitors and solutions will eventually be featured in the Blue Wake programme. But stay tuned for updates as the 2025 edition of the Monaco Yacht Show approaches!
