The inaugural World Yachting Summit (WYS) is set to take place from April 15 to 17, 2025, at the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort in Monaco. This event is poised to become a key meeting point for leading figures in the yachting industry, offering a platform for experts, innovators, and executives to explore critical challenges and opportunities shaping the sector’s future.

Over the three-day event, attendees will engage in networking, visit showrooms, and participate in plenary sessions. The discussions will revolve around four main themes: “Business Perspectives — Changing Paradigms,” “Tourism & Yachting — Success Strategies,” “Technological Innovation — The Road to Net-Zero,” and “Future Challenges — Reinventing Yachting.” These sessions aim to foster collaboration and the exchange of ideas, with a focus on sustainable growth, advanced technology integration, and expanding into new markets.

Monaco, known as a center for innovation in yachting, will host the event’s debut, with Dubai set to host the second edition in 2026.

WYS offers a unique format, allowing participants to contribute ideas for keynotes, case studies, and round-table discussions, as noted by Laurent Perignon, in charge of WYS Development and Content.

The summit’s key partners include Monaco Marina Management (M3) and Dubai-based luxury real estate developer OMNIYAT.
