THE Monaco Yacht show gets underway tomorrow (Wednesday) and there will be a large number of people from the Isle of Man's yachting industry working there.

Behind the glitz and glamour of the location, the reality of the Monaco Yacht Show is that it is serious business and it is a massively important event in the calendar for anyone involved in super yachts.

isleofman.com has spoken to some of the key figures from the industry in the Island about the show and just how much it means.

From tomorrow we will be running a series of articles on the event which runs until Saturday - so keep checking back for more.
