Fraser Yachts at the 2014 Monaco Yacht Show

    MONACO, August 22, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The world's leading yacht brokerage and charter company, Fraser Yachts, will be presenting four exclusive superyachts for sale at the 2014 Monaco Yacht Show.

This year marks the 24th edition of the show, the most important event on the superyacht calendar. Monaco's Port Hercule will host the 2014 edition from the 24th to the 27th of September.

Billed as "the largest showcase for super and megayachts afloat", the world's most impressive yachts will be berthed in Port Hercule during the four-day event.

Fraser Yachts will be presenting the magnificent M/Y LADY PETRA, designed for the original owner of the Heesen shipyard, M/Y MY TRUST FUND a highly specc'd yacht designed for world cruising, M/Y CALLIOPE, a beautiful example of Dutch craftsmanship and M/Y YXT ONE, a world premier for this brand new Yacht X-Tender concept.

The number of exhibiting superyachts for sale is well up on last year's show due to an additional 15 berths having been secured for this year's event. There will also be 400 metres of additional exhibition space to accommodate more luxury yachting products and services, much of it around the brand new Monaco Yacht Club, which opened its doors in June 2014.

Gaelle Tallarida, Managing Director of the Monaco Yacht Show, said: "The demand for space at MYS has been a challenge to us for more than ten years. The improving global economy and expanding demand in developing economies for exclusive products and services, including superyachts, has had an impact on us and for Monaco also."

"Jointly with the Monaco Government, the MYS has been able to extend its show footprint for 2014, enabling us to again welcome the elite of the international superyacht community not only to an expanded MYS but Monaco itself, the world capital of yachting."

Last year, more than 33,000 visitors attended the show, with many brokers and other exhibitors reporting that they had made a record number of leads during the event.

Organisers also commented that the show, an industry barometer, appeared to indicate that the pressure on the market was easing after a difficult few years following the financial crisis of 2008.
