In May 2022, SuperYacht Times acquired the Dubai International Superyacht Summit and rebranded it the Gulf Superyacht Summit. It is a very important step for our company as it means we are officially entering the world of superyacht industry conferences, something we have been wanting to do for a long time.

Where are they coming from and, more importantly, where do their owners come from? And of course the crucial question: how many superyachts could potentially make their way into the Gulf in the future?
