YARE 2026 builds on over sixteen years of experience in bringing together selected superyacht captains and leading companies within a professional environment designed to generate meaningful business opportunities.
The strength of YARE lies in the quality and continuity of its captain community — a solid reference point for the refit and aftersales sector.
Captains at the Centre of the Ecosystem
At the heart of YARE are over 100 selected captains from superyachts over 24 meters, representing a continuously evolving global fleet.
These professionals are directly involved in refit, maintenance and operational decisions, making them a key point of reference for companies operating in the superyacht sector.

The agenda will include sessions dedicated to:
- Artificial Intelligence and its impact on yacht operations
- The evolving relationship between captains, owners and brokers
- Crew wellbeing and onboard expectations, developed in collaboration with the Professional Yachting Association (PYA)
- Tax and legal frameworks relevant to superyacht operations
Workshops at YARE are conceived as open and interactive moments, where companies are not just attendees but active contributors to the discussion.
