Meet the Superyacht Refit Panellists at the British Superyacht Forum 2026
As the global fleet matures, the refit sector has transitioned from routine shipyard maintenance into the central engine room of maritime innovation. At the British Superyacht Forum 2026, held at the Harbour Hotel & Spa in Ocean Village, Southampton, this transformation takes centre stage during one of the event's most anticipated sessions: The Superyacht Refit Panel.
Bringing together premier British and international superyacht expertise, this year’s panel explores how modernisation, lifecycle extension, and strict environmental compliance are redefining superyacht ownership.
British Superyacht is delighted to welcome:
Andy King - Foreship/RINA (Moderator)

Joris Saat - Damen Maaskant

Whether your focus lies in sustainable retrofits, aesthetic reinvention, or technical lifecycle management, this panel promises frank debate, actionable project intelligence, and an unvarnished look at where the refit sector is heading over the next decade.
