RIVIERA YACHTING NETWORK :
AN ESTABLISHED BUSINESS COMMUNITY

For over 20 years, Riviera Yachting Network has been committed to promoting the industry, structuring it, providing it with competitive advantages, and shaping the future of yachting in the South, France’s most popular region for yacht sailing.

As part of the Superyacht Summit Türkiye, we took part in tours of the Tusla shipyards. It was absolutely interesting!
Thank you to RMK Yachts, KRM Yacht Refit & Rebuild and Mengi Yay Yachts for their warm welcome.
Lots of discussions and meetings!

As part of the Super

🧭 Observing, exchanging ideas and drawing comparisons : this is what makes an event such as the Superyacht Summit Turkiye so worthwhile. France was represented on a limited scale by Camille Lopez for HY-Plug, Petra Malloier and Elena Veleva for Port Vauban Antibes, and Fabien Arnoux for Riviera Yachting Network.

Turkey is a country that clearly demonstrates its ambitions to be among the leading players in the yachting industry - whether in new-builds, refits or cruising. Comparisons with Italy and the Netherlands were a recurring theme in the discussions.
The Turkish economy is booming, and the Head of Investment and Attractiveness at the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey put it this way : Turkey is no longer just a bridge to Asia, but a market with a bright future.
One speaker mentioned that he had built the first yacht in Turkey 25 years ago. If the next 25 years are even remotely similar to the last 25, it’s going to be incredible !
Truly inspiring.

Jérôme Cuaz, Wayne Whitby et toute l'équipe de IGY Sète Marina ont reçu une délégation d'entreprises de notre cluster vendredi dernier.

Au cœur de cette rencontre : une présentation de la Marina suivie d'échanges BtoB. L'objectif est de connecter le savoir-faire pointu de nos membres avec l'offre de travaux à flot proposée par la Marina, renforçant ainsi la complémentarité de nos services techniques pour les superyachts. À l'image de Geetech et Rolls-Royce plc Solutions France, qui opèrent déjà sur site, notre ambition est de faciliter l'accès à l'ensemble du cluster pour élever toujours plus les standards de qualité.

La journée s’est prolongée dans une ambiance festive pour Halloween 👻 lors d’une soirée DJ sur le rooftop, réunissant participants et membres d'équipage.

Merci aux entreprises et partenaires présents pour la richesse de ces échanges :
• Geetech (Laura et Martin Gee)
• Rolls-Royce Solutions France (Nathalie Santacroce, Mylène Pedretti)
• Biotechnature (Colin Wilcken)
• Fendress / Riviera Broderie (Christophe Colineaux et Laurence Pelloux)

Jérôme Cuaz, Wayne

C'est au cœur des régates des Voiles de Saint-Tropez que Riviera Yachting Network avait convié adhérents, partenaires et amis, pour la dernière journée de courses.
Au programme : un fabuleux spectacle sportif et un moment de détente, grâce au pilotage minutieux du capitaine de la navette mise à disposition par Riviera Lines pour être au plus près des manœuvres et des "battles".
Merci pour cette folle journée en mer, où l'accueil de Darcy Jahier pour l'armateur (la famille Arnal), Didier Marin pour le cocktail déjeunatoire et Marie Duvignac ont contribué à la pleine réussite de ce "Suivi des Régates".

To discuss business,

Durant le Cannes Yachting Festival, Riviera Yachting Network a mis à profit sa présence pour partager, connecter, faire savoir.

Pour féliciter les Lauréats 2025 du prix de l'apprentissage de la Société des membres de la Légion d'honneur (SMLH) du Var, le cluster les avait conviés pour une journée de découverte de la filière du yachting professionnel.
Il y a quelques mois déjà, ces jeunes – Dorian, Julien et Kemis – avaient visité les chantiers IMS Shipyard et avaient été "briefés" sur le marché du yachting.
Pour avoir une vision globale de ce dernier, il fallait visiter le salon de Cannes et visiter des yachts.
C'est chose faite, et Dorian, Kemis et Julien sont repartis avec des étoiles plein les yeux. Merci à Claire Magne qui les accompagnait.
