With several annual yacht shows taking place in leading hubs around the world, from Miami to Monaco and Dubai, the show calendar caters to a select audience of industry professionals, prospective buyers, charter clients, and more. Usually spanning several days, these exhibitions serve as leading platforms for networking, marketing, and sales within the yachting industry. Shipyards also use these events to present their latest innovations to the press, showcasing new builds, refits and concepts. With some of the most notable shows, including the Palm Beach International Boat Show, the Cannes Yachting Festival, the Monaco Yacht Show, the Miami International Show, and the Dubai International Boat Show, each one of these events attracts a global audience, offering extraordinary opportunities for yacht owners and industry stakeholders.
First and foremost, presenting your yacht at a yacht show significantly enhances its overall visibility and market presence. Catering to industry insiders, yacht shows draw a concentrated gathering of serious prospective buyers, charter clients, and industry experts, increasing the likelihood of securing a swift sale or charter bookings. Having your yacht present at one of these shows and offering potential clients the opportunity to experience your yacht firsthand, taking in its design, amenities, and performance, gives them a physical, tangible connection that is much more impactful than any virtual or brochure-based presentation.
Moreover, yacht shows facilitate premium networking opportunities, allowing owners to connect with brokers, yacht firms, designers, and service providers. This environment is designed to support potential collaborations, partnerships, and valuable industry relationships. Additionally, showcasing your yacht in these events elevates the brand of your yacht and the owner’s prestige, positioning you within an exclusive arm of the yachting community.
Participating in a yacht show does involve careful planning and execution so you can present it in the best light possible. The team at TWW Yachts offers comprehensive support throughout this process, coordinating all necessary arrangements, from securing a prime berth and managing entry requirements to organizing crew logistics and shuttle services. We handle the scheduling of private viewings for vetted clients, making sure that your yacht receives the right attention from serious prospects. Our marketing and communications team will prepare and distribute promotional materials before the yacht show to strengthen and enhance your yacht’s overall visibility before and during the event. In addition, if you are open to hosting private events or gatherings aboard your yacht, we can facilitate these occasions, creating an intimate setting for potential buyers or charter clients to experience all your yacht has to offer while keeping your best interests in mind.
There are several leading yacht shows coming up in the annual calendar, offering excellent platforms to showcase your yacht, including:
Taking place early September in Cannes, France, the yacht show is Europe’s largest in-water boat show. It traditionally signals the opening of the European yachting season and welcomes a diverse, international clientele from across the globe.
Held each end of September in Monaco, this show is renowned for its highly exclusive attendance and for presenting some of the world’s most luxurious and iconic superyachts, gathered in one of yachting’s most prestigious settings.
Taking place each autumn in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this yacht show is among the largest in-water exhibitions in the United States, offering exceptional exposure to the American market and drawing a discerning international audience.
Happening each spring in Palm Beach, Florida, this show is one of the United States’ most refined yachting gatherings, attracting an influential American and international clientele. With its prime waterfront setting and strong brokerage presence, it offers significant visibility within a mature and highly active market.
In spring in Dubai, this yacht show is the Middle East’s leading marine showcase, bringing together an impressive fleet of superyachts alongside a discerning regional and international clientele. It offers privileged access to one of the world’s fastest-growing luxury markets and serves as a strategic gateway between Europe, Asia and the Gulf.
Displaying your yacht at a premier yacht show is more than a calendar commitment; it is a considered strategic decision. In the right setting, before a curated and qualified audience, your yacht becomes more than a listing; it becomes an experience. The atmosphere, the energy, the immediacy of stepping aboard: these are moments that accelerate conversations and shape decisive outcomes.

At TWW Yachts, we approach each show as a collaborative campaign. Together, we position your yacht with clarity and purpose, ensuring every detail, from presentation to private viewings, reflects its true value.

List your yacht with TWW Yachts and benefit from expert brokers, strategic marketing, and access to a global network of clients. Leave your details, and our sales team will be in touch to discuss how we can tailor a sales strategy that works for you.
TWW Yachts manages the entire sales process end to end. This includes market appraisal, pricing strategy, marketing creation, buyer qualification, negotiations, contracts and transaction management through to completion. Our role is to simplify the process while protecting value and discretion at every stage.
We begin with a detailed appraisal grounded in current market intelligence, comparable sales data and a clear understanding of your yacht’s unique attributes. Accurate valuation is fundamental, it sets expectations, attracts serious buyers and underpins a successful sale.
Every yacht benefits from a tailored marketing strategy designed around its ideal buyer. This may include world-class photography and film, targeted digital campaigns, direct outreach to our global broker and client network, and discreet off-market positioning where appropriate. Your yacht is never lost in the noise.
We draw on long-standing global relationships, pre-qualified buyer databases and close collaboration across our international offices. By matching the yacht to the right audience, we focus on quality of interest rather than volume, saving time and maintaining momentum.
Our approach is deeply personal, collaborative and transparent. We work as trusted advisers rather than transactional brokers, aligning the sales strategy with your objectives while handling complexity behind the scenes. The result is a smoother experience, clear communication and outcomes that stand the test of time.
