Inside the Young Designer Creative Breakfast at the Monaco Yacht Show 2024

16 October 2024 • Written by Lucy Dunn

At last month’s Monaco Yacht Show, BOAT International and Feadship welcomed entrants of the Young Designer of the Year Award to the Feadship VIP Lounge for a morning of networking with the award's judges and Feadship designers.

As the official sponsor of the award, the Dutch shipyard is dedicated to helping the next generation of talent to kickstart their careers. The event provided the young designers with the opportunity to discuss the 2025 award task, in which entrants are invited to imagine themselves as recent graduates working at Feadship designing a yacht for an existing Feadship owner who wants to cruise beyond the Mediterranean.

Celebrating the original yacht concepts of students from around the globe, the Young Designer of the Year is announced at the Design and Innovation Awards during the Superyacht Design Festival in February 2025 where the winner receives critical acclaim in front of an international audience of superyacht owners, designers and industry leaders.

There is still time to apply for the Young Designer of the Year Award 2025 - entries close on 18 November 2024. For more information, please contact the BOAT International events team.
