Superyacht Business is the recently launched Business-to-Business title from the IPC Marine Group, the same company that publishes the renowned International Boat Industry (IBI) and European Boatbuilder magazines. With nearly 40 years' experience of marine B2B publishing the emergence of Superyacht Business from IPC Media comes at a crucial time for the industry as it deals with rapid expansion and an ever more demanding clientel. Our aim is to provide highly qualified analysis and comment on the market as well as revealing how the leading players in the business are responding to today's challenges.

We cover the news and developments from designers, stylists, boatbuilders, project managers, surveyors, equipment manufacturers and service providers - the full spectrum. We analyse what's going on in the yacht broker, yacht charter and yacht management areas, review new products, applications and techniques, plus keep an eye on the most interesting new-build, refit and conversion projects from concept to launch.

We also preview and review the important shows, and keep abreast of certification and classification issues, and legislative changes that impact the industry on multiple levels.

In every issue we will be featuring new-build updates from key countries around the world, keeping you in touch with what's going on in much the same way as IBI's renowned Business Reports. Essential reading indeed!

Our aim is for Superyacht Business to be required reading for all those with a need to know what's going on in an industry that, on the supply side, spans most corners of the globe, even if the yachts themselves congregate mostly in the prime cruising areas of the Mediterranean and Caribbean. That means those of you involved with the design, building, maintenance and operation of professional crewed yachts, wherever you are.

Keep in touch. Stay informed.
