The African Boating Conference is more than an industry get-together – it’s a turning point for a continent rich in coastline, culture, and potential. For the first time, industry leaders, innovators, policymakers, and investors will come together to unpack the realities and opportunities of Africa’s superyacht and recreational boating sectors. The topics at the heart of this event are not just relevant – they are essential to unlocking the continent’s blue economy. From understanding market opportunities and closing infrastructure gaps, to charting cruising routes across Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean, every session is designed to address the practical steps needed for growth.
We’ll explore the intricacies of supply chains, local manufacturing, and tourism development, while spotlighting the urgent need for training, education, and supportive government regulations. The programme will also highlight the power of collaboration and global alliances, and present strategies to drive greater boat ownership and sales across Africa. Whether you’re an established player or new to the region, these are the conversations that will shape the future – and your place in it
