As the International Superyacht Society (ISS) enters its third decade celebrating yacht design and industry leadership—the only superyacht industry awards program based purely on peer review and selection—it is pleased to announce the 2011 Awards Gala theme: Launchings!
The Society—presently in its 22nd year as the voice of the global large yacht industry—also hosts a number of memorable annual events during the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. Its Annual Membership Breakfast always features a presentation of key importance, is free to ISS members and is open to non ISS members at a nominal cost. YachtInfo, the evolution of ISS’s Crew Seminars and now in its third year, is a collaborative project of FYBA, MIASF, USSA and ISS.

About International Superyacht Society
The International Superyacht Society is the sole organization serving and representing the large yacht industry worldwide. Society members are individuals and companies who have been recognized for their leadership and dedication to raising the standards of design construction, maintenance, repair and operation of large yachts.
Founded in 1989, the Society is a not-for-profit organization and relies wholly on membership dues, the support of corporate sponsors, revenues from special events, and other donations. An elected Board of Directors guides the Society’s activities.
Education Programs are conducted internationally and include open forums such as symposia, informal gatherings and round-tables. It is a Society priority to foster dialogue among Society members and others in the large yacht segment of the marine industry, leading to the strengthening and growth of the business interests of Society members and the industry as a whole.
