The Global Superyacht Forum takes place from 16 to 18 November in Amsterdam.

The first session of the forum was dedicated to the future of the superyacht industry. The speakers of the session were the founder of the superyacht brand Dynamiq Sergey Dobroserdov, CEO of Blohm + Voss Fred Van Beers, President of Camper & Nicholsons Paulo Casani and President of Sunrise Yachts Guillaume Roche. They noted that the superyacht industry needs to evolve towards greater transparency for potential clients.

«I think transparency is very important," said Guillaume Roche. - We have to show that we can offer a holistic package to owners because investors want their money back. We have to show that we are stable, that we have values and standards». Fred Van Beers of Blohm+Voss agreed with his colleague, summing up his answer to the future of the superyacht industry in four words: «professionalism, reliability, sustainability and transparency». Sergey Dobroserdov, Dynamiq Yachts, added that investors do not invest in industry, but in companies and brands. To attract investment, you have to create a profitable company, which requires being unique, said Dobroserdov.

The forum will run for two more days, and you can view the programme on the event's official website. Among its participants are over 550 key players in the superyacht industry.
