YATCO is proud to once again partner as a media sponsor of the Superyacht Summit Türkiye 2025, taking place November 11 – 12 in Istanbul. Now in its third year, the Summit brings together over 550 industry leaders including shipyard executives, brokers, captains, designers, suppliers, and family offices – all exploring the future of superyachting and Türkiye’s rising influence in global yacht manufacturing.
Hosted at the historic Tersane Istanbul, a 600-year-old shipyard transformed into a world-class venue, this year’s event will feature dynamic panels, exclusive networking sessions and for the first time, a display of superyacht tenders on the water from leading global brands.
Türkiye Expanding as Major Superyacht Builder
As a proud partner, YATCO supports events that unite and educate the professional yachting community, providing insights into one of the most rapidly developing yacht-building regions in Europe. Türkiye now stands as the world’s second-largest yacht manufacturer, and its continued innovation, craftsmanship, and investment make it an essential market for industry professionals to explore new opportunities for collaboration and growth.
YATCO’s Chief Commercial Officer, Abi McGrath, will also be speaking at the Summit, joining a distinguished lineup that includes industry experts such as Alex G. Clarke of Denison Yachting, Lisa Verbit from Bank of America, Dickie Bannenberg of Bannenberg & Rowell Design, and Captain Oliver Michels of 144’ (44m) MAVERICK, among others. McGrath will share valuable perspectives on crew and charter trends, highlighting how the evolution of talent and client experience continues to shape the global superyacht industry.
The Superyacht Summit Türkiye is more than a conference—it’s a complete experience that blends business, culture and lifestyle. From panel discussions and networking sessions at 2Plan Terminal to an after-party at DG Art Gallery, the summit offers a rare chance for professionals to expand their knowledge, strengthen partnerships, and gain fresh insight into a thriving market.
We encourage our members to explore this influential event and join us in supporting Türkiye’s continued success as a center of innovation in the superyacht world.
