With nominations now closed, judging for the 2026 ISS Design & Leadership Awards is officially underway. For over 35 years, these peer-reviewed awards have represented the highest standard of recognition in the superyacht world — and this year's panel is now evaluating the entries. Finalists will be announced at the ISS Monaco Member's Reception on September 23 at the Yacht Club de Monaco, where members and industry leaders will gather for an evening of networking and celebration during Monaco Yacht Show week. Early Access Pricing remains available through July 1 — we strongly encourage members and guests to reserve their places before rates increase.


We are also excited to announce that ISS will be partnering with YPY for a special event on

July 22 — members, stay tuned for RSVP details. 


We are pleased to welcome new additions to our growing sponsors for this year's Reception: Wright Maritime Group joins as a Gold Sponsor, the Cayman Islands as Silver and Design Asset Management as Bronze Sponsor, alongside partners Naiad Dynamics and Nauti Crew Agency at the Silver level, and Yacht World and Abeking & Rasmussen at the Bronze level. Their generosity makes the work of the Society possible.

The International Superyacht Society invites a select group of partners to join our 2026 calendar of signature events. These four curated occasions are designed to foster substantive conversation among the designers, builders, captains, brokers, and managers who define the global large-yacht industry. 


Sponsorship places your brand directly in front of this audience — in the rooms where the industry meets, and on the stage where excellence is recognized.


ISS events consistently bring together the individuals who influence, commission, design, build, manage, and operate the world’s most exceptional yachts. The conversations that take place in these rooms lead directly to partnerships, projects, and meaningful business outcomes.

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.
