About Us

We’re Dedicated to Advancing the Superyacht Industry

Education

The International Superyacht Society’s Leadership Seminar Series is a programme of educational events designed to address issues facing the marketplace, owners, captains, crew, and yachting professionals. Each seminar features a unique topic with an expert panel discussion followed by a networking reception. Education seminars are the primary platform for the International Superyacht Society’s educational initiatives and provide the opportunity to share ideas and information affecting the global yachting community. Please visit the news & events page to learn about the next Leadership Series.

Ambassadors

At ISS, one of our primary objectives is to connect people from all walks of life within the yachting industry. The Ambassador Program has been developed to expand our outreach and create more opportunities for professional collaboration. This initiative aims to establish a central hub for valuable industry insights and information.

Meet the Fleet

“Meet the Fleet” offers ISS member companies a unique opportunity to engage directly with the end users of their products— specifically, the crew who use your products and services every day.

 This initiative offers you a rare opportunity to engage with an ISS captain or crew member who is best suited to your product.

No single company can solve the industry’s biggest challenges—regulation, sustainability, talent, perception—alone. ISS provides the platform for collective and efficient action, shared best practices, advocacy, and innovation. Active involvement ensures our industry remains strong, respected, and sustainable for decades.

David Good, AIMEX

Our goals are well-aligned with our mission to build alliances worldwide, and essentially to serve as the collective voice on issues affecting our industry, while recognizing achievement. There are many ways the ISS advances these goals including acting as the leading conduit among related societies and through regional and global committee work, educational programs, networking events, and our design and leadership awards.

John Venables, Naiad Dynamics

The ISS is only as strong as the people who participate, and this organization has the ability to help shape the future of our industry. When we work together, learn from one another, and support the ISS’s mission, we can continue to elevate our industry.
