Dubai International Superyacht Summit launches new website

The Dubai International Superyacht Summit has launched its new website and has started early bird ticket sales ahead of its second edition, which is scheduled to take place between 27th and 28th February on the iconic Queen Elizabeth II under the patronage of P&O Marinas.

DISS 2019 will bring together key local and international business leaders in the superyacht industry to build on the achievements of the first event held in February this year.

The programme will include keynote sessions and panel discussions on a wide range of industry topics. These include:

Day 1: Progress made on developing the UAE as a winter destination for superyachts in the private and charter market.

Day 2: Legal and compliance issues, safety and security for yachts, owners, guests and crew.

Captain Rado Antolovic, chief executive officer and managing director of DP World Maritime Services Division, said, “This summit will enhance Dubai’s position as a superyacht destination of choice, offering a full spectrum of marine services and solutions.

“As part of the Maritime Services Division of DP World, P&O Marinas is expanding the city’s marine services, developing a unique proposition to further grow Dubai as a state-of- the-art maritime destination. We are working closely with all stakeholders to provide luxury marine lifestyle services with industry expertise, to build on Dubai’s international reputation for world-class superyacht and marine services.”

Captain Tony Crabbe, chief executive officer of event organisers Fabulous Yachts, added, “The UAE is well placed to become a desirable winter destination for superyachts. What is now needed is the collective will and determination to develop a positive regulatory environment and a desire to welcome these yachts to our shores.”

The summit’s website contains details of the programme, speaker profiles, how to buy tickets and travel assistance. It also features presentations delivered at the first event in February 2018."

Early bird tickets have been introduced this year and are available from 20th November to 31st December, with standard rates applying after this date. As in the first edition, UAE-based marina managers and shipyard managers are eligible for a reduced rate with complimentary tickets available for superyacht captains and owners.
