Damen Yachting has been announced as the title sponsor of BOAT International’s 2020 Explorer Yachts Summit.
The BOAT Live: Explorer Yachts Summit in association with Damen Yachting and held in collaboration with ExplorerYachts.com is set to take place on November 12 at the Monaco Yacht Club.
Damen Yachting’s support comes after its SeaXplorer design team appeared as key speakers at last year’s inaugural event.
Amels and Damen Yachting managing director Rose Damen said: “We’ve all seen how rapidly the world is changing. Luxury expedition yachting offers a new way to see the world in complete autonomy and safety, themes that we believe will shape the future of yachting.
“The BOAT Live: Explorer Yachts Summit is an ideal format for the explorer leaders to get together and sharpen minds. So we’re proud to support the team at BOAT International with this important event. We’re also grateful to Cantiere delle Marche and Triton Submarines as well as Sabrina Monte-Carlo for their support.”
A number of speakers have been confirmed to appear at the event, which is the only international summit dedicated solely to the expanding explorer yachting sector.
Chief executive of REV Ocean Nina Jensen will speak alongside Cookson Adventures founder and chairman, Henry Cookson and director of sailing operations at EYOS Expeditions, Skip Novak.
BOAT Live: Explorer Yachts Summit tickets are priced at €350 plus VAT. Tickets can be purchased online here or by emailing events@boatinternationalmedia.com. Tickets will be fully refunded if the event is cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
BOAT Live: Explorer Yachts Summit is also sponsored by Cantiere delle Marche and Triton Submarines.
