With the Cannes Yachting Festival taking place from September 12 to 17, followed by the prestigious Monaco Yacht Show later in the month – and with many leading shipyards choosing to debut exciting new designs and groundbreaking technology at these events – we take a closer look at some of the biggest news so far this year in the world of yachting, as well as a sneak peek of what’s to come.
So far, top yacht trends for 2023 have shown a big focus on greener yachting solutions (including hybrid and electric yachts, together with sustainable onboard practices), groundbreaking technology, exciting design solutions, and a changing demographic with a younger yachting clientele. While North America and Europe remain the world’s largest yacht markets, Asia has now overtaken Europe as the second-largest UHNW region, and by 2024 Asia-Pacific will boast almost a quarter of the global population of UHNWIs. At the same time, the Gen Z influence on the yachting sector continues to increase, with the average age of superyacht owners now predicted to be between 35 and 45.
Here’s a round-up of some of the vessels so far in 2023 that we are most excited about – either released earlier in the year or slated to make a debut this month in either Cannes or Monaco.
