18 November 2026 Hosted at Metstrade Amsterdam, The Netherlands
THE SUMMIT
The Yacht Infrastructure Summit A new one-day conference dedicated to the infrastructure supporting the global marina and superyacht industry. As yachts become larger, more technically advanced and increasingly global, continued investment is required across marinas, refit yards, utilities, services and destination infrastructure. Our ambition is to connect the people who finance, develop, design, own, supply and operate the physical foundations of the marina and superyacht industry.
