This year, the International Charter Expo (ICE), the world’s leading B2B event for the yacht charter industry, proudly introduces the Superyacht Village: a dedicated space for companies working with luxury, super yachts over 24 meters. These high-end charters, often starting at €85,000 per week, demand exceptional service, planning, and expertise. ICE’25 will welcome charter brokers and central agents from around the world for three days of intensive networking, deal-making, and strategic collaboration.
Superyacht Village promises to be more dynamic than ever, thanks to a €100,000 sponsorship by Ankor Software, which will subsidize participation costs for first-time exhibitors and visitors in the superyacht sector. The initiative is designed to encourage broader participation and get the attention of key decision-makers from across the international charter industry.
Companies from the USA, Galapagos Islands, New Zealand, Monaco and more are joining ICE as a result of this special collaboration with Ankor Software. Their growing interest shows how the Superyacht Village is attracting attention from top yachting destinations around the world.
“The superyacht industry has great potential for growth, and by introducing well-known companies to the Superyacht Village for the first time, we’re bringing fresh perspectives and new energy to the event”
Antonija Čagalj, Project Manager at ICE
A standout feature that sets ICE apart is its innovative matchmaking system powered by the custom-built Handshake App. With exclusive access to the app, attendees will benefit from pre-arranged 1-on-1 meetings with central agents, charter brokers, shipyards, and service providers up to a month in advance, ensuring every minute of ICE is focused on meaningful business. This structured format makes ICE one of the most efficient and results-driven events in the yacht charter industry.
ICE will be held this year from November 12–14, 2025, at EXPO Greater Amsterdam. After a record-breaking 2024, with 600+ companies from over 55 countries, ICE’25 is already on track to be even larger with over 80% of booths already booked.
