BOAT International Media has announced the launch of Introduction to Superyacht Ownership, a new event held in association with Amels. The inaugural edition will take place at a central Palm Beach venue on Tuesday 24 March 2026 from 14:00 to 18:15.
The invitation-only event has been designed to provide an in-depth exploration of superyacht ownership for qualified first-time buyers and existing owners considering a larger vessel. It will bring together leading industry experts to guide attendees through the ownership journey, from initial acquisition to long-term management.
The programme will feature a presentation on the current state of the superyacht market from BOAT International’s managing director, Stewart Campbell, followed by expert-led discussion panels covering new build, yacht management, brokerage and ownership. The event will conclude with a drinks reception, offering valuable networking opportunities with industry leaders and fellow prospective owners.
"Superyacht ownership is one of the most rewarding yet complex decisions someone can make, and we recognised a need for trusted, expert guidance at the very beginning of that journey,” said Campbell. “Introduction to Superyacht Ownership brings together the industry's leading voices to demystify the process and empower prospective owners with the knowledge and connections they need to make informed decisions with confidence.”
Sarah Flavell, marketing manager at Amels, added: “We are absolutely delighted to be on board with Introduction to Superyacht Ownership 2026. This event perfectly aligns with our mission to inspire and guide the next generation of yacht owners, and we look forward to sharing our passion for craftsmanship, innovation and timeless design with attendees.”
Participation is by invitation only and at no cost to selected attendees. First-time buyers will be carefully vetted by BOAT International, with applications also open to owners' representatives and family offices. Find out more below.
