The conference gathered industry professionals together to analyse if there is a need for a comprehensive / holistic EU policy exclusively for yachts. 

Conference panellists and guests were welcomed by Nikiforos Pampakas, general manager of Limassol Marina Ltd. The main panel discussion featured Vassilis Demetriades, former ddeputy minister of commercial shipping, Evros Symeonides, head, Sunseeker Greece and Cyprus, Stavros Caramondanis, representative, Cyprus Marina Association, and Stavros Katsikadis, president, Board of Greek Marinas Association who introduced the subject. Four panel discussions were then held to address the need for a comprehensive and holistic EU policy exclusively for yachts.

Attendees at the conference represented a range of professions, all of which play a pivotal role in expanding, servicing, and supporting the superyacht and yachting industry.

Panel discussions were of the highest calibre, providing key insights on the need for a comprehensive / holistic E.U policy exclusively for yachts. Limassol Boat Show Conference 2024 undoubtedly confirmed the significant interest that exists in growing the industry further, which together with the delivery of top tier service within the sector, will make Cyprus not only a destination to visit but also one for the luxury vessels to call home.

Conference participants were extremely inspired by information presented and noted that the coming together of stakeholders, policy makers and professionals to transform Cyprus’ developing yachting industry into one of the country’s fastest growing market can be achieved. 

The conference concluded with closing remarks and a networking session during which participants had the opportunity to engage in meaningful conversation, exchange insights and foster connections within their respective industries. 

The 3rd edition of the Limassol Boat Show Conference is anticipated to take place next year, within the framework of the Limassol Boat Show 2025.
