Yacht Only’s founder and CEO, Leyla Deniz, had the opportunity to participate in the Gulf Superyacht Summit 2023, held from November 22 to November 23 at the Hilton Abu Dhabi Yas Island.
The Gulf Superyacht Summit 2023 was designed to illuminate the yachting landscape for yachting enthusiasts and industry representatives, with a vision to elevate the Gulf as a premier winter destination for superyachts.
The summit started with the presentation of the Gulf Superyacht Report, which provided valuable insights into the current state of the industry in the region. Following this, discussions delved into the future prospects of yachting in the Gulf, highlighting its growing importance.
The Gulf region is becoming increasingly vital to the superyacht sector. With Dubai’s the world’s most extensive marina development and the annual Formula 1 race in Abu Dhabi attracting a significant influx of superyachts, the area is proving to be a true yachting hup. Yacht owners and captains were welcomed to share their experiences and insights.
Moreover, the region is not only establishing itself as a superyacht nexus but is also showcasing the latest advancements across various sectors. A standout moment from the summit was Dubai’s ambition to become the global capital of cryptocurrency, signaling new wealth and opportunities that are emerging. This evolution is set to enhance the region’s significance for yacht builders and brokers eager to connect with an expanding clientele. Shipyards highlighted their renovation capabilities, and fruitful discussions centered around enhancing client relations took place.
We are looking forward to the 2024 summit, anticipating it to be equally engaging and informative.
Reach out to our team, and we would be delighted to navigate you through the intricate world of yachting!
