How can the Gulf region and Asia collaborate effectively to enhance the movement of superyachts heading towards the East?&nbsp;Looking after the Middle Eastern fleetGlobally, the superyacht fleet is expanding, and this growth is particularly evident in the Gulf Region. The demand for suitable marinas for docking, agents for support, reliable suppliers for provisioning, and proficient refit yards for maintenance raises a crucial question: Are these resources currently accessible, and what measures should be taken to address any gaps?Yachts of the futureA panel of experts will delve into the latest innovations, visionary perspectives, and creative ideas that are poised to influence the design of future yachts.Charter &amp;

Preliminary topics of the Gulf Superyacht Summit 2023 announced

The Gulf Superyacht Summit  is an annual two-day summit that informs, assists and advises yachting clients and related interested stakeholders.

After a hugely successful first edition under <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times’</a> ownership in 2022, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/185" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gulf Superyacht Summit - 2023">Gulf Superyacht Summit</a> returns on 22-23 November, a few days before the Abu Dhabi F1. This year's edition will take place in Abu Dhabi’s Hilton Yas Island, marking the first time that the event has taken place outside of Dubai since its foundation in 2018.&nbsp; <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qPCiGVUiNHE?&amp;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> The annual two-day summit informs, assists and advises yachting clients and related interested parties, with the goal to develop the Gulf as a leading winter superyacht destination. Originally the Dubai <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/185" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gulf Superyacht Summit - 2023">Superyacht Summit</a>, the event was acquired by <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a> in May 2022 and rebranded to incorporate the entire Gulf region, recognising the importance of the Gulf as a major player in the future of the superyacht industry. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/209632/image/large-d76180302c523fc24754864f20a23eed.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/209632">Merijn de Waard, Founder and Director of <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a> explains; “The purpose of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/185" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gulf Superyacht Summit - 2023">Gulf Superyacht Summit</a> is to recognise the importance of the entire Gulf region to the superyacht industry and to bring key stakeholders together. With many companies turning their attention to the region, both in Dubai, the wider UAE and the Gulf in its entirety, we feel that it's important to host this year’s summit in a new location. Abu Dhabi has been investing in the industry for a number of years, with its own boat show early in November and new infrastructure under construction, and we look forward to welcoming industry leaders to this year’s event.”The Hilton Yas Island in the east of Abu Dhabi has been chosen as the ideal location for this year’s event. Situated on the Yas Bay Waterfront, the hotel offers world class facilities for conferences and is situated on the island where the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 is held a few days later. Like last year’s event, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/185" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gulf Superyacht Summit - 2023">Gulf Superyacht Summit</a> will include a Gala Dinner on the first evening where attendees can network with colleagues from across the industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/279575/image/large-450c35b5ed0cd9cf42a22412c65d1d8a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/279575"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/279576/image/large-845f42ac89ece61b884ffc70ee38534f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/279576">Some of the industry’s biggest names took to the stage during last year’s event, including Peter Lürssen, CEO and Managing Partner of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>, who delivered the keynote interview alongside Merijn de Waard, Founder and Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4509" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SuperYacht Times (Company)">SuperYacht Times</a>.

In addition to panels discussing the key topics and issues that face the Gulf’s yachting industry, such as charter, legislation and refit, panel discussions will include other key topics such as marinas.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/249829/image/large-37359fab22005dc9636e6ae591fd130c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/249829"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/249833/image/large-dc8869591fc09efa680e443ea4cfe9c1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/249833"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/249892/image/large-44d57a4ad4c951d3e839fc452c259876.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/249892"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/249921/image/large-3d6a3bb6590bec677108333481e728a7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/249921">Ahead of last year’s event, the <a href="https://superyachttimes.ac-page.com/homepage" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SYT iQ</a> team took a deep dive into the numbers to analyse the growing importance of the region to the industry and to understand how many superyachts actually visit the Gulf each year. The result was unequivocal, with an average 11 percent growth per year of yachts visiting the Gulf and an estimation for over 140 superyachts to visit the region in 2023. This year the team will conduct another analysis, to discover the growth opportunities and to provide the attendees with a clear picture of potential of the sector within the Gulf region.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/250653/image/large-d9ef23e5dfa5ae14df317858430f1fa1.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/250653">Attendees to the <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/events/gulf-superyacht-summit-2022" target="_blank">Gulf Superyacht Summit 2022</a> were presented with SuperYacht Times’ first <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/market-reports/gulf-superyacht-market-report-2022" target="_blank">Gulf Superyacht Market Report</a>.
