Conversations with leading voices across yachting will continue across YachtWorld channels following successful Monaco debut

MIAMI, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the successful debut of YachtWorld House at Monaco Yacht Show 2026, YachtWorld is bringing the conversations that took place inside the House to a wider global audience — sharing perspectives from some of yachting's most respected leaders across its social channels.

Over three days in Monaco, YachtWorld House brought together leaders from across shipbuilding, brokerage, yacht management, charter, technology, media, design and academia to discuss the changes shaping yachting today and what they mean for the industry moving forward.

The conversations went well beyond the Monaco Yacht Show itself. From the changing expectations of yacht buyers and the next generation of clients to AI, digital transformation, brokerage and data, yacht management, shipbuilding, media and future talent, the discussions addressed issues affecting businesses and professionals across the global yachting ecosystem.

Now, YachtWorld will share highlights from those conversations across its social channels, giving the wider industry access to perspectives and insights exchanged inside the House.

"Bringing this group together in one place gave us the opportunity to hear different perspectives on many of the same changes we are seeing across the industry," said Courtney Chalmers, Chief Brand & Communications Officer at YachtWorld. "These weren't conversations that were only relevant in Monaco. They are conversations the industry is having globally, and we want to continue them by sharing these perspectives with the broader YachtWorld community."

The YachtWorld House Conversation Series brought together voices including award-winning yacht designer, Giorgio Cassetta; Filippo Buonpensiero of Cantieri delle Marche; Toby Moore, CEO of Monaco Yacht Show; Paris Bellamis of Oceanco; Steve Bailet of IYC; Alex von Stein of SOS Yachting; Camilla Calza of Benetti; and media guests including Bill Springer, Yachting Editor at Forbes.

Hosted by Annalisa Tarquini and Filippo Ceragioli of the International University of Monaco (IUM), the conversations were organized around three themes — Next Generation, Ecosystem and Human Experience — providing a range of perspectives on where yachting is today and how it continues to evolve.

The breadth of voices gathered at YachtWorld House reflects YachtWorld's longstanding position within the global yachting community. For more than 30 years, YachtWorld has connected yacht buyers, sellers and industry professionals around the world. YachtWorld House builds on that role by creating a new forum for the people shaping the industry to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions and share their expertise with a wider audience.

The conversations were one part of a broader YachtWorld House experience created and curated by The Style Lab in collaboration with YachtWorld. The setting brought together industry dialogue with hospitality, design and gastronomy, creating an environment where scheduled interviews continued into informal conversations and new connections throughout the three days.

Papillon Milano 1990 brought its distinctive approach to Italian and Mediterranean hospitality to the House, while Unopiù shaped the outdoor environment overlooking Port Hercule. IUM added an academic and next-generation perspective, with students participating throughout the event alongside senior industry figures.

Following the response to its Monaco debut, YachtWorld is exploring opportunities to bring YachtWorld House to other key moments in the global yachting calendar, while continuing to use its platforms to extend the ideas and perspectives that emerge from the House to the industry more broadly.

Ein nächtlicher Brand unter einer Kabelbrücke im Berliner Stadtteil Marzahn hat zentrale Leitungen des städtischen Stromnetzes beschädigt und Ermittlungen wegen Brandstiftung ausgelöst. Nach Angaben der Polizei brannten in den frühen Morgenstunden unter einer Brücke an der Boxberger Straße Altreifen und Gerümpel. Ob das Feuer gezielt gelegt wurde, ist Gegenstand laufender Ermittlungen. Einsatzkräfte der Polizei sicherten am Brandort Spuren, um Hinweise auf die Ursache und mögliche Täter zu gewinnen.

Die Feuerwehr war gegen 4.00 Uhr alarmiert worden und ging zunächst von einem kleineren Einsatz aus. Erst vor Ort zeigte sich, dass die Flammen auf unter der Brücke verlegte Stromleitungen übergegriffen hatten. Ein großflächiger Stromausfall blieb nach Angaben eines Feuerwehrsprechers zwar aus, die Leitungen wurden jedoch so stark in Mitleidenschaft gezogen, dass Teile der lokalen Versorgung umgestellt werden mussten.

Nach Angaben von Henrik Beuster, Sprecher von Stromnetz Berlin, mussten 19 gewerbliche Kunden vorübergehend vom regulären Netz getrennt werden. Seit etwa 9.00 Uhr würden sie über ein Notstromaggregat versorgt, sagte Beuster. Betroffen seien zwei 110.000-Volt-Hochspannungskabel sowie mehrere Mittelspannungsleitungen mit 10.000 Volt. Reparaturarbeiten an den beschädigten Trassen seien im Gange, konkrete Angaben zur Dauer der Instandsetzung lagen zunächst nicht vor.

Die Gewerkschaft der Polizei (GdP) hält einen bloßen Zufall für unwahrscheinlich und spricht von einem möglichen gezielten Angriff auf die Infrastruktur. Die Ermittlungen zur schweren Brandstiftung liefen zwar ergebnisoffen in alle Richtungen, betonte die GdP zugleich. In der Vergangenheit war es in Berlin wiederholt zu Angriffen auf Stromtrassen gekommen, die teils umfangreiche Stromausfälle nach sich zogen und nach damaligen Erkenntnissen linksextremistischen Tätergruppen zugerechnet wurden. Die aktuellen Ermittlungen konzentrieren sich nun darauf, ob und wie der jüngste Brand in Marzahn in ein solches Muster einzuordnen ist.
