Faster than a newbuild
A new superyacht can take a couple of years to design and build. A well-planned refit delivers a yacht that matches today’s expectations in layout, technology and performance, in far less time.

The global stage for superyacht refit.
Refit is redefining superyacht ownership. The Future of Refit brings together the people driving that transformation.
For three days in Monaco, owners, captains and their advisors meet the shipyards, designers, brokers and specialist suppliers shaping the next generation of refit projects, in the halls of the Grimaldi Forum and aboard the yachts moored in the marina of Yacht Club de Monaco.
Why refit now
Built to last for decades
Regular refits keep a yacht safe, compliant and up to date for 20, 30 years and beyond, preserving both the pleasure of ownership and the value of the asset.
A more sustainable choice
Extending a yacht’s life avoids the footprint of a new build. Today’s refits also bring hybrid propulsion, energy-efficient systems and cleaner technologies on board.
A first dedicated platform
Until now, the industry had no event dedicated entirely to refit. Presented by the Monaco Yacht Show and powered by BOAT International Media, The Future of Refit fills that gap.
Who should attend?
Yacht owners
Discover what your yacht could become. See completed transformations, step aboard yachts in the marina and meet, in one place and over three days, the yards, designers and specialists able to deliver your project.
Captains
You know your yacht better than anyone. Compare yards, solutions and technologies, exchange with peers who have been through it, and prepare your next yard period ahead of the season.
Owners’ advisors
Owner’s representatives, project managers, yacht managers, family offices and brokers: benchmark the leading refit yards and suppliers, secure your clients’ projects and stay ahead of the technologies and regulations reshaping the fleet.
