US Superyacht Association will be hosting the 9th Annual Captains Briefing and Reception. Set to run in the lovely Caribbean yacht charter location – St. Maarten from January 22 to 23, the event will provide two days of nautical networking and fun, while enjoying the fabulous island of St. Maarten.

Activities will include golf, cocktail parties, dinner and more.

“This is truly a unique opportunity where industry representatives and crew can socialize and get up close with the Captains,” said USSA Chairman John Mann. This year’s event will provide more of a social flair then in the past. There will be several networking opportunities taking place beginning with a golf outing at Mullet Bay Golf Course continuing with several engagements offering a casual atmosphere to mingle, create new relationships and learn from each other’s experiences.

Captains and senior officers can get first-hand answers to the major issues that directly affect their ability to do their jobs while networking in a social environment with leaders representing all facets of the Superyacht industry.
