The Superyacht Forum 2023 is an important event in the calendar for anyone in the superyacht industry, and this year, the streamlined concept of ‘TSF: Connect’ will be focusing on fostering connections, sharing knowledge, and driving innovation within the industry. Meeting and connecting with the key players in our industry continues to be one of the most important and anticipated aspects of The Superyacht Forum.


“We would like to thank the Superyacht Group for inviting us to participate in this year’s event. These important industry discussions at TSF will enable us to better understand emerging trends in the yachting industry and learn perspectives of yacht owners and crew,” said Kim Llorente, Operations Manager at the PYA.

Over the course of the 3 days, The Superyacht Forum (TSF: Connect) will bring together representatives from across the industry. The lineup of events includes networking sessions, partner roundtables, strategic workshops, and one definitive Keynote Debate each day, bringing together a diverse range of speakers and experts to share their insights and perspectives.


Covering a wide range of topics, including sustainability, technology, design, and business strategy, The Superyacht Forum is anticipated to provide important networking opportunities where the future of the yachting business will be discussed. More than 800 delegates from around the world are attending with 30 keynote speeches set to take place.
