Dress code requirements for visitors

Men are expected to wear crisp shirts with tucked-in blazers and chinos. Women attend dressed in Riviera elegance styles. Visitors must remove their shoes before stepping onto the teak decks.

International community interactions

Exhibitors, buyers, brokers, and charterers from various nations know each other well. The international superyacht community appears to be a close-knit group. Reporters noted they were not initially part of this circle.

Vessel specifications on display

A Zeelander 8 measuring 23.9 metres was available for boarding during the event. This vessel features a retro look with pleasing curves and fast speeds. It includes an owner's cabin and several double guest cabins.
