We are also very pleased with the continued support of P&O Marinas, a DP World company, who will remain patrons of the Gulf Superyacht Summit.Photo: Dubai International Superyacht SummitLaunched in 2018, the Gulf Superyacht Summit was acquired by SuperYacht Times in May 2022. The two-day summit is an annual event that informs, assists and advises yachting clients and related interested parties, with the goal to develop the Gulf as a superyacht winter destination.Photo: Dubai International Superyacht SummitThe Gulf region is of growing importance to the superyacht industry. Dubai has some of the biggest marina developments in the world and the annual Formula 1 event in Abu Dhabi attracts a large crowd of superyachts. A growing number of yachts are using the UAE as a hub for eastward travel, to places like the Seychelles, Maldives, Indonesia and Thailand.Not only is the region establishing itself as a superyacht hub, but Dubai also aims to become the crypto capital of the world. With a lot of new wealth being created in this market sector, the region is of growing importance to yacht builders and brokers looking to engage with new clients.
The programme of the Gulf Superyacht Summit is currently under production and will be announced in July. For any questions or ideas you might have for the programme, please reach out to [email protected].
