Held at the Yacht Club de Monaco, BOAT Live: Life Under Sail was our first international summit dedicated exclusively to sailing. Leaders from within the industry, as well as the wider luxury world, joined us in Monaco for a day of inspiring and thought-provoking discussion on market trends, design and build innovations, how to connect with the next generation owner and the challenges ahead.

BOAT International would like to thank premium partner Yachting Partners International and event partner Persico Marine.
