The International Superyacht Society (ISS) and Young Professionals in Yachting (YPY) hosted an event on July 22, bringing together members for an evening of connection and celebration, continuing to strengthen relationships across the yachting industry. More than 50 attendees participated in a lively round of professional networking bingo, sparking conversations, new introductions, and meaningful connections among professionals from across the sector. The interactive activity helped break the ice while highlighting the shared passion and collaborative spirit that define the global yachting community. A special thank you to the Hilton and Olive & Sea for graciously hosting the event and GC Maritime Consulting for sponsoring our winner prizes! We also thank everyone who joined us and look forward to creating more opportunities to connect through our partnership with YPY.

Judging for the 2026 ISS Design & Leadership Awards continues, and finalists will be announced at the ISS Monaco Member's Reception on September 23 at the Yacht Club de Monaco. This evening brings members and industry leaders together for networking and celebration during Monaco Yacht Show week.

Early Access Pricing for the 36th Annual Awards Gala, taking place October 28 at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, is available through September 1 . Members and guests are encouraged to reserve their places before rates increase. Nominations for the ISS Awards of Distinction, honoring achievement in categories including Artisan, Distinguished Crew, Excellence in Improving Yachting, and Excellence in Technology, remain open and must be submitted prior to August 31, 2026; members are encouraged to submit a nomination before the deadline.

ISS is proud to welcome an exceptional group of new members representing expertise across design, engineering, operations, and brokerage. Their addition strengthens our global network and reinforces our commitment to excellence across the industry.

Your logo is there even if you are not. ISS events bring together an influential audience in Monaco and Fort Lauderdale for a single day, but the value of sponsorship extends far beyond the event itself.

Through invitations, registration campaigns, event programs, signage, social media, email marketing, post-event coverage, and member communications, sponsors receive visibility that reaches a global audience throughout the year. Your brand is not only seen by those in the room, but also by thousands of industry professionals who engage with ISS content before, during, and after each event.
