“Destination UK” is a new initiative designed to promote the UK’s cruising grounds to visiting Superyachts in the lead up to the 2012 Olympics and the legacy years. The event is focussed on making it as easy as possible for Superyachts to visit the UK. The more Yachts we can attract, the more opportunities there are for SYUK members and the UK supply chain.
Destination UK promote the UK to visiting Superyachts - Lancaster House in London
Superyacht UK is inviting Charter and Fleet managers to a one day event on March 15th 2011 at Lancaster House in London, England. These key decision makers are pivotal in influencing a yachts itinerary, so it is important that we make it as easy as possible for the yachts to enter the UK and provide them with all the relevant contacts and information.
To date we have already secured delegates from Burgess, YCO, Edmiston, YPI, Camper, Nicholson and more.
This event will be most beneficial to companies who supply berthing, provisioning, bunkering, concierge, refit and repair and other companies directly related to servicing yachts whilst cruising.
Provisional Programme*
The programme for the day is for regions of the UK to present the delegates with the highlights of visiting their areas. The afternoon is set aside for a showcase of the UK Supply Chain and networking opportunities. . This event will be an excellent way to market your company to key decision makers, and in turn help attract yachts to the UK.
