Superyachts

  • Overview

A lot of superyachts could be called prototypes with all the positives and negatives that can bring. In addition, many superyachts operate in isolation in a fleet of one and even those professionally managed can experience problems and issues that are unusual, unexpected, and outside of personal experience. 

Joining our Superyacht SIG gives you the opportunity to network and collaborate with other members to discuss technical topics related to superyachts. 

If you are interested in joining the group, log in to My IMarEST and select the group from the list.
