Asia-Pacific Superyacht Summit 2024

The inaugural Asia-Pacific Superyacht Summit will be taking place on the 5th and 6th June 2024 in Hong Kong.

The two-day summit will be held at the Renaissance Harbour View Hotel Hong Kong, with discussions from key decision-makers from the different Asian regions and global superyacht industry professionals.

With a great line up of speakers and programme, the Asia-Pacific Superyacht Summit will focus on the development of Asia as a superyacht cruising destination and how to get more Asian clients interested in the construction, purchase, and charter of yachts. 

Merijn de Waard, Founder & Director of SuperYacht Times and event organisers, shares his thoughts...

• “In the past few years, there has been a declining interest from the superyacht industry in the Asian market,” commented “With the market slowing down globally, the superyacht industry needs to look further again and there is still a tremendous opportunity in Asia with more than 950 billionaires, according to Forbes, as well as some of the most stunning cruising grounds in the world."
