The first World Yachting Summit will be held between April 15-17, 2025, at the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort in Monaco focusing on innovations, trends, and challenges facing the yachting industry. Drawing a lesson from international forums like COP and the Davos Forum, the summit will bring together industry representatives, international organizations, and government representatives. The two main themes: Business and Nautical Tourism, and Transition to Zero Emissions, will be discussed during the conference, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Keynote speakers include CEOs and senior managers of Sunreef Yachts, Feadship, Volvo Penta, Rolls-Royce, and others. The summit will also feature private aviation, luxury hospitality, and wealth management cross-industry contribution by experts, including an exhibition area and an Innov’ Lounge for start-ups. The event’s tagline, “Charting the course towards new horizons,” indicates the focus on actionable solutions, with the release of a report on main findings at the conclusion. The summit will expand globally, with plans to move to Dubai in 2026.
