Celebrating Excellence: The British Superyacht Soirée at boot Düsseldorf 2026

The atmosphere at boot Düsseldorf is always electric, but on Tuesday, 20 January 2026, the energy reached a new high for the British superyacht community. We were delighted to present the British Superyacht Soirée, an evening dedicated to celebrating the enduring partnerships that define our industry.

A Gathering of Superyacht Professionals

The event, held in the heart of the world’s largest indoor boat and watersports show, was kindly hosted by BOAT International Media. Their support provided the perfect backdrop for an evening of high-level networking. We were particularly honoured to welcome Petros Michelidakis, Director of boot Düsseldorf, whose presence underscored the vital importance of the British contribution to the global superyacht ecosystem.

The guest list featured superyacht professionals from a vast array of businesses—from naval architects and luxury interior designers to legal experts and technical suppliers. It was a true representation of our mission: Bringing together the globally renowned quality and excellence of the superyacht industry around the British Isles.

Stronger Together: The Power of Collaboration

Throughout the evening, the feedback from our members was resoundingly positive. Richard Selby, CEO of British Superyacht said, "the recurring theme? The power of connection. In an industry built on credibility and trust, the ability to meet face-to-face and discuss collaborative opportunities is invaluable. Members shared stories of how the British Superyacht network has acted as a catalyst for new partnerships and collective growth. This sense of unity is what drives us forward. Our strap lines, "Leading the Industry" and "Stronger Together," aren't just words—they were visible in every handshake and conversation that took place during the Soirée."

"The Soirée is more than just a social event; it’s where the groundwork for the next year’s biggest projects is laid. Being part of this community gives us a collective voice that is heard globally." — Reflections from a long-standing member.
