The superyacht industry is navigating global challenges—from tariffs and supply chain pressures to geopolitical tensions, rising costs, and currency fluctuations. Yet even in these uncertain waters, opportunity abounds. This September, the Cannes Yachting Festival and Monaco Yacht Show stand out as critical platforms for charting the way forward, where innovation is showcased, confidence is reinforced, and new solutions are forged.
Global Marine Business Advisors (GMBA), the international network of marine industry specialists, will once again be at the heart of these events. With consultants based in key markets worldwide, GMBA brings unique local insight and global perspective—helping clients adapt, diversify, and identify new growth opportunities.

Richard Haws, GMBA’s representative in Saudi Arabia, commented: “MYS has evolved into far more than a superyacht showcase—it’s a complete ecosystem of luxury brands, clients, captains and investors. For me, it is a pivotal period of exchange, not only to benchmark global developments but also to highlight the investment and tourism opportunities emerging in Saudi Arabia.”
Falk Morgenstern, GMBA Germany, added: “We don’t attend just to observe. We’re there as active partners for our clients, providing specialist knowledge and global connections. Cannes and Monaco are pivotal for the marine industry, and GMBA ensures our clients are represented at the highest level.”
With advisors spanning Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the Americas, and Asia Pacific—GMBA’s presence underlines its commitment to delivering global solutions to global challenges. Richard Haws (GMBA Saudi Arabia), Knut Heiberg-Andersen (GMBA Norway), Falk Morgenstern (GMBA Germany), Albert Willemsen (GMBA Netherlands), and Lorenzo Pollicardo GMBA Italy will all be present at these shows.
