Superyacht Summit Türkiye
Superyacht Summit Türkiye returns for its fourth edition on 4–5 November 2026, once again positioning Istanbul as a strategic meeting place for those shaping the future of the global superyacht industry.
By bringing together shipyard executives, brokers, superyacht captains, designers, suppliers, superyacht owners, family offices, law firms, owner representatives and other yachting professionals, SST creates a focused environment for informed dialogue, strategic partnerships and long-term collaboration across the international superyacht sector.
A Two-Day Gathering in Istanbul
The summit opens on Wednesday, 4 November, at The Peninsula, one of the city’s most iconic destinations on the Bosphorus. Set within restored waterfront buildings, including the historic Passenger Terminal originally built in the 1940s, the venue reflects Istanbul’s maritime heritage and modern transformation.
The first day will feature a full programme of panels and networking sessions, followed by an exclusive cocktail party in the evening.
On Thursday, 5 November, the Summit will continue with exclusive shipyard and industry visits, followed by a closing cocktail designed to encourage focused networking and meaningful conversations among attendees.
Further details on the second-day programme will be announced soon.
The Agenda
Superyacht Summit Türkiye will address the key forces shaping the superyacht industry today and in the years ahead, examining what 2026 revealed about the global market, what the industry can expect in 2027, and how Türkiye’s continued rise is influencing global yacht building.
Discussions will span market performance, buyer behaviour, brokerage transformation, new capital, family offices, complex yacht project management, luxury brand strategy, Mediterranean destination dynamics and the future of yacht interiors.
The programme will also explore how technology and changing client expectations are reshaping the way yachts are bought, built, managed and experienced; how yachting can learn from luxury’s biggest brands; and how regional dynamics across the Eastern Mediterranean and Gulf are influencing cruising patterns, destination choices and luxury tourism.
A Programme Led by Seasoned Voices
The summit will host a distinguished line-up of speakers from across the global superyacht and luxury industries.
From the world of brokerage and market insight, the Summit will welcome leading industry voices including Alex G. Clarke of Denison Yachting, who will share insights into the evolving brokerage landscape, changing client behaviour, technology, data and new opportunities in the global yacht market. He will be joined by Steven Myers of YATCO, Nick Gelevert of Boatsters Black, and other distinguished voices from across the brokerage and digital yachting ecosystem.
Complex yacht projects, legal structures, registry and operational perspectives will be represented by figures such as Andrea Armas of Specialist Marine, Ben Geary of Döhle Yachts, David Legrand of Fraser Yachts, Devrim Gündoğan of RMK Yachts, and Phil Noad of Cayman Registry, bringing insight into the journey from contract to delivery and the realities of managing large yacht projects.
The future of ownership, advisory and new capital will be explored through voices including Ian Petts of Martyn Fiddler, Maeen Shaban of Altrata, and Özge Doğan of Karman Beyond with discussions focusing on changing wealth dynamics, family offices, capital migration and the evolving definition of yacht ownership.
The programme will also feature a global luxury, media and lifestyle perspective. Enes Yılmazer, internationally recognised luxury content creator, will bring a fresh view on luxury storytelling, global audiences, brand influence and the way superyachts are presented within the wider luxury lifestyle ecosystem. Samuel Constantine-Bolton of Quintessentially will add insight into private clients, lifestyle, membership and experience-led luxury.
Bill Springer, Senior Contributor at Forbes, will moderate the discussion on Mediterranean dynamics and the making of a luxury destination, while Denis Suka, widely known as The Yacht Mogul, will share his perspective as a yacht broker and influential voice in the global yachting community.
Moderated by Tamara Maria Madra, sustainable design and interior perspectives will also form an important part of the programme, with leading voices including Luca Dini, and Cana Gökhan of Red Yacht Design, alongside other speakers from across yacht design, interiors and the wider superyacht industry.
Additional speakers and moderators will be announced in the coming weeks.
