The International Superyacht Summit 2021

Dates - December 8 and 9 2021


A yachting destination cannot be a single point, port or marina. For a long term attractiveness, it is necessary to build a yachting ‘ecosystem’ constituted by marinas, cities and regions, able to offer a range of destinations and activities, which, with the necessary cooperation of the various stakeholders and authorities, develop into a long term satisfying cruise itinerary.

To acknowledge the wider scope of this summit, the name has been changed to The International Superyacht Summit.

Under the patronage of DP World subsidiary P&O Marinas and initiated and co-organised by Fabulous Yachts, the next edition of The International Superyacht Summit will discuss local and international issues related to superyachting, including the development of the UAE and region as a superyacht friendly destination.

The summit will highlight new themes such as how superyacht marina developments empower lifestyle and tourism and what is the role of yachting industry in new and consolidated tourist destinations.

Delegates will discuss the emerging trends in superyacht ownership. How can builders accommodate the needs of a younger generation of owners and charterers? What does the growing environmental awareness of these younger generations and the higher intolerance of unsustainable practices affect the superyacht industry?

After two highly successful events, and with Martin Redmayne as moderator once again for the 2021 edition, we look forward to welcoming speakers such as Ms. Abeer Alshaali (Gulf Craft), Alberto Galassi (Ferretti Group), Jan Timmerman (Royal Huisman), Farouk Nefzi (Feadship) and Paolo Casani (Camper & Nicholsons).

With its third edition, The International Superyacht Summit has established itself as the only event specifically dedicated to the superyacht industry in the region.
