Superyacht Summit Istanbul 2025: HY-Plug and the decarbonization of yachting

In mid-November 2025, HY-Plug participated in the Superyacht Summit in Istanbul, three intense days of conferences, site visits and international networking.

Discovery and encounters

• Four shipyards visited to understand the challenges of production and innovation

• Superyacht Summit conference to discuss trends and decarbonization

• 50 people met , including 10+ concrete contacts with construction sites, potential future clients

  
  

Decarbonization at the heart of the issues

Shipyards that fail to adapt risk losing multi-million euro deals. One anecdote: an owner wanted a greener yacht, but the shipyard refused to incorporate biofuel, so the yacht remained conventional.

HY-Plug supports yachting stakeholders by offering concrete and actionable solutions starting today.

Networking and memorable moments

Between small group dinners, informal exchanges and even an impromptu race at Marina Moda, the Superyacht Summit was an experience rich in connections and inspiration.
