Monaco Superyacht Forum to examine impacts of US trade policy, auction market advances, and more

2 September 2025 • by Dea Jusufi

Marine Money's Monaco Superyacht Forum is returning en force this month (23 September), bringing a market-focused agenda and positive outlook to its 18th edition.

Timed to take place the Tuesday before the Monaco Yacht Show, the one-day conference offers valuable business intelligence alongside networking and development opportunities, held at the iconic Le Meridien Beach Plaza.

"Against a backdrop of economic and geopolitical uncertainty, the global superyacht market has remained resilient," read a statement from the organisers. "The sale and purchase market is active, orderbooks at pedigree yards are robust and creating opportunities for others, consolidation continues and financiers are hitting annual budgets ahead of schedule."

The festivities will begin with a welcome speech by Mike McCleery (managing director at financial network Marine Money), followed by some crucial market updates powered by BOATPro. Historical data will be mapped against current trends in sales, charter and construction – including a deep dive into the definitive Global Order Book – led by BOATPro director Heather Parkman.

Other forum topics will include Today’s Superyacht Finance Market; One Big Beautiful Panel: The Builders’ Perspectives from the United States; the U.S. Trade Policy and Its Impact on the Superyacht Industry; Brokers Summit – The Year Behind and the Year Ahead in the Sale (New Orders and S&P) and Charter Markets and In Focus: Marco Valle, Chief Executive Officer, Azimut Benetti Group.
