Smart Yachts joined The Gulf Superyacht Summit 2025

Julia Skop, Co-Founder of Smart Yachts, has joined The Gulf Superyacht Summit 2025, held in Abu Dhabi on 4–5 December 2025 by Superyacht Times.

 

At the Summit, she shared her point of view during the panel “How can we attract owners to base their yachts in the Gulf Region?”. As Julia highlighted, choosing between the Gulf and the Mediterranean is no longer necessary: nowadays, owners can enjoy both worlds.

This dual-season approach transforms yacht ownership into a year-round lifestyle. The Gulf not only offers world-class marinas, ideal winter climate, exceptional service and unmatched privacy, but also provides interesting destinations to explore:

• The amazing Dubai coastline
— including the World Islands with its unique hotels — perfect for a day cruise

• Pristine islands off Abu Dhabi
— Sir Bani Yas, home to a remarkable wildlife reserve (just 10 hours* / 120 miles away)

• Natural wonders within reach
— Musandam, Aman’s new destination: corals, sharks, fjords and crystal-clear waters (around 100 miles)

• For longer journeys
— The beautiful Socotra Island in 4 days*, on your way to the Red Sea:
 ⁃ the Saudi coast in 7 days*
 ⁃ El Gouna in 9 days*

*timing may vary depending on weather

As the region continues to invest in tourism, luxury amenities and maritime facilities, its position as a global yachting hub is only growing stronger. 

In 2024–2025, several of our clients relocated their yachts from Europe to the UAE with our support. We would be happy to assist you and share our smart experience. Please contact us sales@smartyachts.com.
