MYS 2025: David Good on the Sydney Charter Show and Its Impact
David Good, CEO of Superyacht Australia, shares the vision behind launching the new Sydney Charter Show, emphasizing its role in unlocking unique opportunities for the Australian superyacht industry.
He explains that the event is designed to serve as a dedicated platform for the local charter market, showcasing Australia’s growing appeal and fostering collaboration within the industry.
'Sydney is the hub during summer, so the majority of the vessels are spending summers in Sydney and we have access to majority of the fleet...so it's a great opportunity for brokers to come and see what available within the region with one trip to Sydney'. Good explains.
Good positions the Sydney Charter Show as a complementary addition to the global superyacht calendar, acknowledging the prestige of established events like the Monaco Yacht Show while highlighting Australia’s distinct geographic and market advantages. The show aims to spotlight regional strengths and drive international interest.
He identifies key trends shaping the Australian charter market, such as increased domestic demand and evolving client preferences that necessitate a bespoke event tailored to the region’s specific dynamics. These shifts have been instrumental in the show’s conception
