The Mediterranean is preparing to lead the next chapter of yachting — and the Mediterranean Superyacht Forum 2026 is where that shift takes shape. In a market evolving faster than ever, MSF26 stands out as the most forward-thinking, insight-driven and collaboration-focused event in the region.
Whether you’re in refit, marinas, operations, technology, yacht management or policy, here are five reasons why MSF26 is simply unmissable.

1. A forum built on action — not passive discussion

MSF26 rejects the traditional conference model. Instead of scripted panels and predictable conversations, the forum is designed as an industry working platform where participants challenge ideas, exchange expertise and help build practical outcomes the sector can use.
Expect a format shaped by the industry’s most pressing priorities — from cybersecurity threats to refit transparency , subcontractor management , marina sustainability challenges , workforce shortages and more.
This is not a forum where you sit and listen. It’s a place where the sector moves forward.

2. Curated for impact — built around the sector’s real priorities

Every topic, every session and every speaker is selected with purpose.
MSF26 is the result of months of industry consultation, market analysis and feedback from shipyards, marinas, captains, subcontractors, service companies and regulators. The outcome is a programme designed to address what truly matters today:
operational bottlenecks, infrastructure limitations, shifting owner expectations, environmental responsibility, rising regulatory pressure,
and the need for a stronger, more cohesive Mediterranean ecosystem.
Nothing is included by chance. Everything responds to a real need.

3. Experience-led content: collaborative formats for a sector ready to shape its future

At MSF26, content isn’t something you watch — it’s something you take part in. The programme embraces a simple idea: the future of the industry is shaped by those who join the conversation.
While the full agenda will be revealed soon, here’s what attendees can expect:
Opening keynotes from leading voices — not only in yachting, but also in the global socio-economic landscape — offering the context in which our industry must evolve.
A diverse mix of collaborative, fast-paced, interactive formats, from expert-led case studies to hackathons where professionals from different fields co-create solutions to the sector’s most urgent challenges.
And to ensure no one misses out, each Think Tank will consolidate the key conclusions, recurring questions and most relevant insights from the various sessions within their theme.
The result is an experience that is informative, dynamic and deeply participative — a forum where attendees don’t just learn about the future of yachting… they help write it.

4. High-Value networking with the people who are shaping the industry

MSF26 brings together the decision-makers and influencers who define the course of the Mediterranean superyacht sector:
shipyard CEOs and refit directors, marina and port operators, captains and yacht managers,
policy specialists and regulators, technology innovators, sustainability leaders, and the companies driving transformation across the industry.
Networking at MSF26 is curated with intention: targeted lunches, topic-based encounters, collaborative formats and opportunities to build relationships that last beyond the event. If you want to connect with the leaders who matter — this is where they’ll be.

5. A year-round ecosystem — not just a two-day event

MSF26 is part of a continuous Mediterranean-wide ecosystem that extends throughout the year. Attendees gain access to:
a growing collection of whitepapers and industry insights (refit processes, subcontractor management, marina sustainability, workforce development and more), sector working groups aligned with the Forum’s outcomes,
opportunities to join cross-regional collaborations, and participation in pilot projects that move the sector toward innovation and competitiveness.
For MSF26, the event is just the beginning.

Why it matters
Because the Mediterranean is becoming the strategic centre of the global superyacht industry — and MSF26 is where its future direction is defined.
If you want to understand where the sector is heading, influence key decisions, and connect with the leaders driving real change… MSF26 is where you need to be.
