The premier conference for superyacht finance, transactions, and ownership returns to the heart of the City, connecting the industry’s most influential decision-makers.
Scheduled for March 3 and 4, 2026, Superyacht Investor London will once again serve as the “go-to” event for the professionals behind the world’s most significant maritime deals. Hosted at the prestigious venue at 5 More London Place, overlooking the Thames, this two-day summit brings together over 200 senior-level executives to discuss the economic health and future trajectory of the superyacht market.
Since its inception in 2016, this conference has carved out a unique niche, focusing less on the aesthetics of yachts and more on the complex “business” of owning, financing, and insuring them.
Where Finance Meets the High Seas
Superyacht Investor London is renowned for its high-level attendance. The 2026 edition expects a diverse mix of:
- Leading Yacht Brokers & Shipyard CEOs
- Specialist Marine Lenders & Private Bankers
- International Lawyers & Tax Consultants
- Yacht Managers & Insurance Underwriters
- Flag State Representatives & Registries
The event’s core mission is to facilitate deal-making. By providing a transparent environment for debating market trends, the conference helps participants navigate the legal and financial intricacies of the global fleet.
2026 Agenda: Navigating a Changing Market
The 2026 program is designed to tackle the most pressing challenges facing the industry today. Key themes and sessions include:
- The State of the Market: A deep dive into global sales data, shipyard backlogs, and the evolving profile of the modern UHNWI (Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individual) buyer.
- Financing the Future: Expert panels on asset-based lending, the role of private banks in yachting, and how “Basel III” and other regulations are impacting credit availability.
- Geopolitical & Economic Shifts: Assessing how global political stability and fluctuating interest rates are influencing buyer confidence across key regions like the US, Europe, and Asia.
- The “Green” Premium: Debating the financial reality of decarbonization—how sustainable technologies are affecting yacht resale values and insurance premiums.
Interactive Insights and Networking
A signature feature of Superyacht Investor events is the interactive polling and Q&A system. Using live technology, the audience can anonymously vote on controversial topics and pose tough questions to panelists, ensuring the debates remain lively, honest, and relevant.
Beyond the formal sessions, the social calendar is built for business:
- Pre-conference Cocktail Receptions: Allowing delegates to break the ice before the main sessions begin.
- Networking Lunches & Coffee Breaks: Strategically timed to foster one-on-one meetings.
- The Grand Dinner: A high-profile evening event that has become a staple of the London yachting social scene.
Strategic Partnerships
The 2026 show continues to receive strong support from major industry bodies. The Cayman Islands Shipping Registry (CISR) has already been confirmed as a key sponsor, alongside long-term association partners like SYBAss (Superyacht Builders Association). These partnerships underscore the event’s importance as a regulatory and strategic forum.
