Superyacht Australia is pleased to announce the return of the Australian Superyacht Conference in 2026, debuting in a new Sydney location with a refreshed format and industry focus.

Traditionally held on the Gold Coast in May ahead of the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, the conference will now take place immediately following the inaugural Sydney Charter Show, creating an exciting week of activity for Australia's growing superyacht sector.

The Sydney Charter Show, to be held on Sunday 22 and Monday 23 February at Jones Bay Superyacht Marina, will set the stage for the Conference, offering a dedicated showcase of Australia and the South Pacific's charter potential. The addition of the Australian Superyacht Conference on Tuesday 24 February will provide an opportunity for deeper industry engagement and discussion on the issues shaping the future of the sector.

With a renewed focus for 2026, the Conference will bring together captains, family office representatives, brokers, fleet managers and tourism bodies for a comprehensive program addressing key topics such as charter legislation, importation rules, taxation, maritime labour, crew recruitment and training, flag registration, classification, global build data and vessel migration patterns.
