Superyacht Forum 2023 Highlights

23 November 2023

This year’s Superyacht Forum in Amsterdam saw more than 800 guests participate in the 31st edition with a host of impactful panels and workshops held over the course of the 3 days.

The PYA along with other industry organisations took part in discussions on a wide range of issues from technological innovations to crew welfare.

Keynote speeches and sessions included insightful anecdotes of an industry that is changing rapidly and adapting to a new reality where environmental concerns and protecting maritime ecosystems is top of the agenda. Regulations and technology debates at this year’s event along with networking sessions fostered new collaborations between governing bodies and the wider industry - highlighting key issues that we will face in the coming years ahead.

“The Superyacht Forum is a fantastic event that brings together people from all sides of the industry to discuss crucial matters. Our take is that most of the issues are related to a lack of professionalism and training. The PYA is working on various initiatives to tackle some of these problems through collaboration with stakeholders. The feedback on this was positive, and we look forward to launching these initiatives next year. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Martin from The Superyacht Group for inviting the PYA to such an important event, ” said Kim Llorente, Operations Manager for the PYA.

Industries also collaborated outside of the yachting space with delegates from luxury hospitality, business aviation and ocean conservation discussing important sector-wide issues that will impact all stakeholders.

This year’s attendees were also reminded of the precarious position that the yachting industry is in with a renewed focus on environmental concerns - echoed by PYA’s CEO, Christophe Bourillon, who highlighted this new reality in his latest position paper . With protest movements such as Extinction Rebellion evidently visible at this year’s event, delegates were keen to unveil ambitious reforms that will help yachting become more sustainable in future years. Part of the focus on sustainability has also been to unify various metrics to measure efforts and present evidence of binding reductions of carbon emissions as well as increasing protection for fragile maritime ecosystems.

The openness of this year’s event showcased how much progress is being made across sectors and internationally to address the various issues impacting yacht crews.

The Superyacht Forum Amsterdam Report 2022

Joel Waterhouse, Yachting and Aviation Manager, Mark A. Hagan , VAT Director and David Webb, Yachting and Aviation Senior Associate recently attended The Superyacht Forum Amsterdam. The event was attended by over 600 industry professionals over 3 days in Amsterdam with a focus on sustainability in yachting.

Key discussion topics included how the industry needs to work together to develop and champion solutions to make a better environment for all, specifically focusing on environmental and human factors.

While environmental protestors stormed the event on Day 3, the event organisers took the decision to give them a voice, allowing them on stage to say their piece and, in response, explain the steps the yachting industry as a whole is already taking to reach a common goal.

Key areas such as diversity, inclusion and equality were discussed with the general consensus being that while progress is being made, there is still work to be done by all.

Future trends

Based on current dynamics and capacity, it was proposed that over the next 30 years the number of superyachts in operation globally  could double due to the volume of new builds combined with existing fleet refits, improving the size and quality of the market across the board.

There may also be a change in how yacht ownership looks for the next generation, as newer clients are less obsessed with owning a yacht outright. Instead, choosing to lease, opting for ‘fractional ownership’, or even something entirely new could be more the norm going forward.

Increase in fires

Fires on superyachts are becoming more frequent and there is a lot of research being undertaken to understand what’s causing this. It would be easy to say it is due to less stringent controls in respect of  500GT vessels, reduced expertise during refits due to covid, or perhaps the increase in popularity of lithium batteries, however, insurers, class societies and owners will need to review all factors to ensure yachting is safe for all.

It was proposed to the forum that, in an environment where faith in ‘trickledown’ economics is at an all-time low, the superyacht industry is still a significant positive contributor to local economies. Starting with employing potentially thousands of skilled workers during the build, the finished yachts then support an entire ecosystem of qualified crew, small businesses and a range of complementary professional services for decades during the vessels’ life. All paid for entirely by the owners themselves. Truly helping to spread the wealth!

Finally, as always, the Superyacht Forum is a great place to connect and reconnect with the industry experts who attend. Aside from the show itself, regular networking and breakout sessions allow meaningful conversations with lawyers, advisors, brokers, crew members, pursers, flag representatives, bankers and even competitors to establish how we can work together better in the future. None of this more so than at the Red Ensign Red Party on Day 2, where everyone could discuss mutual topics of interest in a contemporary central Amsterdam location.

Please contact Mark A. Hagan to discuss your yachting needs.

The Superyacht Group, operating under the mantra ‘Less is More’, has applied the same model to their event business, the result being an integration of all their previous events; SuperyachtDESIGN Week, the Superyacht Management Meetings, the Superyacht Owner’s Summit, Make Your Mark and previous market leader the Global Superyacht Forum. With a brand-new formula of ‘one incredible event for one unique market’ the combinations of meetings now come under the brand ‘ The Superyacht Forum’ , which sits alongside  The Superyacht Report.

With a combination of 800 delegates, comprising Designers, Builders, Brokers, Captains, Lawyers, Architects, Managers, Subcontractors, Suppliers and Consultants, not to mention a group of passionate Owners and Investors, is it the start of a more stable and energised future for the superyacht market.

New meeting formats, networking concepts, interactivity and engagement, will ensure that anyone who joins this incredible meeting of minds will be amazed, inspired and educated. The new concept also means that whether you are a reader of The Superyacht Report or a visitor to SuperyachtNews.com, you will be able to customise the schedule of the event to your interests, needs, time and budget, while having the opportunity to explore other disciplines that spark interest and curiosity. 

The Superyacht Forum’s partnership with METSTRADE ensures it is a resourceful and valuable event for every attendee. The programme will spark ideas, connect old and new acquaintances, while being the largest opportunity to build networks in the superyacht and marine industry. 

In approach to the event, we want to involve you in the early discussions for the programme:     

• What will the future look like for the superyacht industry? 
• Where do we want to be? 
• How is the industry working to build stability?

Global Superyacht Forum

By Stephanie Warren

F orward thinking will dominate three days of debate, dialogue and discovery, amongst 400 of the most influential individuals in the superyacht industry.

Led by up to forty world-class speakers and - most importantly - visionaries of the superyacht future, the audience will consider new approaches and share their experiences on the following:

• Industry investment
• Financial control 
• Business principles
• Propulsion technology
• Engineering
• Manufacturing
• Project management
• Owner expectation
• Reaching our potential
• Regulations
• What the future holds

Coinciding with the Marine Equipment Trade Show (METS) , the Global Superyacht Forum remains and prospers as a platform for education, innovation and presentation of new ideas. Supported by twelve influential companies within the world of superyachts, this year promises to see not only change as a pinnacle theme on the stage, but reflected in the learning environment. Expect a facelift in the Forum, a new lease of life in the Lounge and a dinner venue to charm the most discerning of delegates.

The Superyacht Events team will introduce new tools to help attendees connect at this year's conference, such as speed-networking and opportunities to test your knowledge. On Monday, for the first time we will introduce exhibitors from the SuperYacht Pavilion to bring new ideas and new agents into the mix.

On Tuesday, the traditional Global Superyacht Forum dinner promises to be in a very untraditional setting, as we take you away from the classroom and show you an oasis of good food, good fun and above all, an unrivalled networking opportunity. Wednesday's closing drinks will give everyone a chance to consolidate what they've heard and catch that last contact before the plane home.
