The Superyacht Forum 2024 in Amsterdam brought together 700 professionals from across the industry, including shipyard representatives, designers, yacht managers, brokers and captains, between 18 and 19 November.

The two-day event, which has evolved over three decades into a leading conference for the superyacht industry, is now held in conjunction with METSTRADE, the world’s largest marine equipment trade exhibition.

Discussions on the second day centred on key issues shaping the sector, with sessions covering topics such as multi-fuel adoption, advanced paint application techniques, industry-led emission standards, and lessons from recent high-profile incidents.

The agenda opened with a keynote forum exploring the “3R” model—reduce, remove, recycle—and the sector’s pathway toward regeneration by 2050. Dr Vienna Eleuteri, vice chair of the Water Revolution Foundation (WRF), linked the conversation to recent developments at COP29.
