1. Sensational Superyachts
A line-up of outstanding superyachts, epitomizing the art of luxury yacht living, will be hard to miss at this year’s Show. Exhibiting for the third consecutive year, Benetti Yachts will be showcasing the superyacht Ambrosia.

Visitors will have the opportunity to be one of the first to step onboard the 46-metre tri-deck catamaran Charley, making her World Premiere at the Show.

Also not to be missed is the the 41-meter M/Y Ocean Emerald, designed by Norman Foster, from the cult film, Point Break. The Princess 32’s main saloon, featuring vast windows on each side, showcases spectacular views of the sea that contrast the rich dark color palate used in the interiors
