Through his lens, Plisson reveals what often goes unseen: the precision of artisanal expertise, lives shaped by the rhythm of the sea, and the quiet intention that guides every curve and design choice.

The exhibition also paid tribute to the men and women who bring this world to life. Their generosity and trust have enabled Plisson to create an original visual narrative, nourished by years of shared experiences at sea.

“This exhibition was born from a shared desire with the Monaco Yacht Show — to offer an artistic and emotional perspective on the world of yachting,” explained Guillaume Plisson.

“Yet nothing would have been possible without the unwavering support of the entire industry: owners, designers, shipyards, crews… all have allowed me, year after year, to build a visual memory of contemporary yachting and to express heartfelt gratitude to all those who embody this world.”

Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of the Monaco Yacht Show, highlighted the importance of this approach, saying: “Tribute to Yachting reflects our ambition to open the Monaco Yacht Show to new forms of expression.

“In recent years, we have showcased the evolution of yachting — its sustainable innovations, its design, and its lifestyle — but it was equally essential to offer a more personal interpretation of this universe. Through our collaboration with Guillaume Plisson, we’ve created an artistic experience that reconnects visitors with the primary emotion that yachting evokes: wonder.”

Tribute to Yachting invited visitors on an artistic and poetic journey, illuminating the beauty, sensitivity and human dimension at the heart of yachting.

The photographs from the exhibition are available for purchase, allowing collectors and enthusiasts to extend this artistic experience beyond the show itself.
