The Monaco Yacht Summit aims to provide an annual forum for the yachting world, to address issues of importance to yacht owners and buyers and to create a space where the main players in yachting can meet, talk and build links.

The organisers of the Monaco Yacht Show will bring together a panel of experts, company heads and leading figures from the yachting world, but also business leaders and panel members from other spheres to enrich the debate and broaden perspectives for the future.

NEW YACHTING. NEW THINKING.

Taking the form of three round table discussions themed on customer issues, the Monaco Yacht Summit will address the new situation in yachting, the new expectations and the new opportunities. Each subject will be introduced by a talk from an expert, followed by discussion among a panel of personalities, with a well-known figure acting as facilitator.

Summing up the 2008-2013 period: what lessons can be drawn from the crisis? Customer expectations: super-yachts, mega-yachts or giga-yachts: is it really about size or more about details? New destinations, uses and experiences; technical innovations and latest trends. Under the title New Yachting, New Thinking, these will be among the subjects addressed by the panels and discussed at large.

MONACO YACHT SHOW & SUMMIT.

This first Yacht Summit organised by the Monaco Yacht Show also chimes with the Principality’s intention to boost the luxury yachting sector and become the world yachting capital.

Partners in the project are the Monaco Government Tourist Office and Convention Authority, the Monaco Chamber of Economic Development and Monaco Yacht Club, who applaud this initiative of the yacht show and its managing director Gaëlle Tallarida: “Through 23 editions the Monaco Yacht Show has offered yacht owners, buyers and enthusiasts the very best that the world’s boat builders, brokers and yachting professionals have to offer, in the unique setting of the Principality of Monaco and in a professional but festive atmosphere. In 2012 we opened the Upper Deck Lounge – 650m² of lounge areas with bar and restaurant, right inside the Yacht Show area. Now we are happy to announce the first Monaco Yacht Summit, the next step in expanding our mission to empower all involved in yachting to meet, talk and share experiences.”

By invitation only.

The format chosen for the Monaco Yacht Summit is a strictly selective one, with access by invitation only, to ensure a high level of discussion for yacht owners, buyers and their representatives in close collaboration with top authorities and world yachting professionals.
