What changed

Between the two snapshots the berthed count in the Port Hercule fence rose by 21 identified yachts, a 28 percent increase over seven days, with the Monaco Yacht Show opening on 23 September. These are two dated observations, not a daily series.

Separately, and on a different geography and measurement window, 555 yachts of 24 metres and over were recorded within 150 kilometres of the harbor in the 24 hours to 8 September. That regional figure describes staging context, not the harbor count.

Why it matters commercially

Marinas, provisioners and brokerage teams working the show can time outreach against the build-up rather than the calendar. Event teams can compare this year’s loading against the same dates in prior editions as the archive matures.

Coverage & limits
AIS floor at berth: berthed yachts that do not broadcast are not counted, so the figures are floors. The 150 km regional count uses recorded positions over a trailing 24-hour window and is not comparable with the harbor count.
