The Smart Yacht Rendez-Vous

23-24 March 2023

Build collaboration in the transition of the yachting industry.

Meet with customers, strategic and financial partners. Organized by M3, this rendez-vous is dedicated to innovating towards the transition of the yachting industry, working hand in hand with key players.

Yachting: a $13 B+ by 2030

The yachting industry’s market value is expected to increase from 8 billion today to over 13 billion in 2030.

The demand for yachts has boomed due to a general increase of disposable wealth and a growing interest in leisure and recreational activities. This current market traction is a positive driver to invest in innovation and further develop sustainable solutions.

The SEA Index by Yacht Club de Monaco and Credit Suisse, the first emissions benchmark for superyachts, is a good illustration. Launched in 2020, it supports the yachting sustainable transition.
