The Monaco Yacht Show 2024 is set to begin with a powerful statement on the future of yachting, launching with a sustainability summit that places environmental innovation at the forefront of this prestigious event. Far from simply being another showcase of opulent superyachts, the Monaco show is deliberately setting itself apart by focusing on how the industry can lead in the fight against climate change. Attendees will witness firsthand how superyacht manufacturers like Feadship, Sanlorenzo, and Lürssen are not just pushing the limits of luxury, but also spearheading groundbreaking efforts to reduce carbon footprints and adopt green technologies. This year, Monaco isn’t just about the yachts on display; it’s about reshaping the yachting industry to embrace a more sustainable future, where innovation and responsibility go hand-in-hand.

The Genoa Boat Show is making waves beyond the business world. This year, the show has expanded its cultural offerings through the BITTA64 project, a new initiative that brings literature and maritime culture together. Keynote talks by Giovanni Grasso and Antonio Caprarica, two of Italy’s most influential writers, will add a unique cultural layer to the event. Their discussions on themes ranging from politics to maritime history offer attendees a deeper understanding of the sea’s significance in Italian culture.
