Pardo Open Days Monte Carlo: An Annual Yachting Showcase
Reviewing an exclusive display of maritime craftsmanship.
What's happening in Monte Carlo
From 9 to 12 April 2026, Monte Carlo will again host the Pardo Open Days. This annual event provides an opportunity for enthusiasts and potential owners to experience the latest Pardo yacht models firsthand. The exhibition is typically staged within one of Monte Carlo's distinguished marinas, transforming it into a temporary showroom for these Italian-designed vessels.
Attendees are afforded the ability to undertake tours of the yachts on display, gaining insight into their design, features, and construction. The event serves as a significant fixture in the yachting calendar, drawing interest from across the European leisure marine sector without the broader public access of a larger boat show.
Why this matters for private travellers
Events such as the Pardo Open Days, while exclusive, contribute to periods of elevated activity in Monte Carlo. The principality's infrastructure, though highly developed, can experience increased demand for commercial air travel slots into nearby international airports, as well as heightened competition for premium accommodation and ground transfers. These pressures, often unseen by commercial passengers, can affect scheduling flexibility and travel efficiency for those arriving via conventional routes.
How a private jet changes the equation
Opting for private air travel provides a material alteration to the travel equation when attending events in Monte Carlo. The primary advantage is scheduling autonomy, allowing departures and arrivals to align precisely with personal itineraries, including commitments in and around the event. This flexibility inherently mitigates the impact of peak commercial travel periods.
Furthermore, private aviation simplifies the logistics of transporting specific items, from substantial luggage containing ski equipment or golf clubs to secure handling for jewellery cases and garment bags. Passengers and their belongings are processed through a dedicated Fixed-Base Operator (FBO), circumventing the queues and concourse congestion typical of commercial terminals. Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (LFMN), a common gateway to Monaco, operates multiple FBOs capable of supporting such operations.
