YachtWorld will launch a new invitation-only hospitality space at Port Hercule during this month’s Monaco Yacht Show, bringing together leading figures from across the international yachting industry…
YachtWorld House will operate from September 23 to 25, complementing the online yacht marketplace’s existing partnership with the show. Located just steps from the event, it will host shipyard executives, superyacht brokers, media and other industry professionals.
Rather than following a conventional conference format, the programme will centre on smaller discussions examining changes shaping the sector. Topics will include yacht design and construction, brokerage, charter, technology, data and yacht management, alongside changing customer expectations and the relationship between yachting and the wider luxury industry.
The venue will also provide space for private meetings, lunches, dining and informal gatherings overlooking Port Hercule.
Italian outdoor furniture specialist Unopiù will be responsible for the interiors and furnishings, whilst Papillon Milano 1990 will oversee food and hospitality, including its Milanese-style aperitivo.
YachtWorld says the initiative is intended to create a more informal environment in which different parts of the yachting industry can meet and exchange ideas during one of the sector’s most important international gatherings.
