MasterCraft Boats UK heads to Monaco Yacht Show with the new X23
MasterCraft Boats UK is heading to the Monaco Yacht Show this September, exhibiting alongside the MasterCraft factory and showcasing the new X23 with factory-engineered lifting points at Stand QA40.
MasterCraft heads to Monaco
Taking place from 23 – 26 September 2026 at Port Hercule, the Monaco Yacht Show is one of the most important events in the global superyacht calendar, bringing together yacht builders, designers, brokers, owners, captains, crew and leading marine suppliers.
For MasterCraft Boats UK, the show provides an opportunity to showcase not only the capabilities of its premium performance boats, but also the specialist experience, engineering solutions and ongoing support it can provide to the superyacht market.
The X23 takes centre stage
Joining the MasterCraft Boats UK team at the show will be Sidewake from Portugal, bringing its new MasterCraft X23, complete with factory lifting points.
The X23 is part of MasterCraft’s recently redesigned 2026 X lineup, combining world-class wake and surf performance with premium build quality, advanced technology, comfort and versatility.
The new factory lifting-point option has been developed specifically with applications such as yacht tenders in mind and will be available across the X lineup, as well as other MasterCraft models.
It demonstrates how a MasterCraft can be integrated into the superyacht environment while retaining the performance and experience that have made the brand an established name in watersports.

More than just a tender
For MasterCraft Boats UK, the boat itself is only part of the story.
Through its many years of working closely with Cockwells Modern & Classic Boatbuilding, the company has developed extensive experience in the bespoke engineering solutions that can be required when integrating a MasterCraft onboard a superyacht.
Every yacht presents its own requirements, from custom lifting arrangements and storage solutions to modifications to towers and windscreens. Working alongside Cockwells allows MasterCraft Boats UK to develop considered, bespoke solutions designed around the mothership and its operational requirements.
This combination of MasterCraft factory expertise, bespoke engineering capability and dedicated service and aftersales support provides customers with a complete solution, from the initial specification through to delivery, commissioning and ongoing support.

Looking forward to Monaco
Michael Hardicker, Managing Director of MasterCraft Boats UK, said:
“We’re incredibly excited to be exhibiting at the Monaco Yacht Show alongside the MasterCraft factory. It’s a fantastic opportunity to meet with owners, captains, crew, yacht managers, brokers and industry partners and show what we can offer beyond the boat itself.
“The new X23 with factory lifting points is a great example of how MasterCraft can integrate into the superyacht environment, and we’re looking forward to talking to visitors about the bespoke solutions and support we can provide throughout the process.”
