The Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM) is preparing to host another edition of its renowned Captains’ Forum on 24 September 2026, bringing together captains, owners, shipyards, engineers and industry leaders to explore the future of maritime energy and sustainable yachting.
Held under the “Monaco, Capital of Advanced Yachting” initiative, this year’s forum will focus on Future Energy Sources Onboard Ships and Yachts, examining the technologies and alternative propulsion systems that are expected to transform both commercial shipping and the superyacht industry in the years ahead.
As environmental regulations tighten and owners increasingly seek cleaner, more efficient vessels, the Captains’ Forum will provide a platform for meaningful discussions on renewable fuels, hybrid and electric propulsion, hydrogen, methanol, sustainable onboard energy management and the innovations driving the industry’s transition toward lower emissions.
The event has become one of the most respected gatherings in the global yachting calendar, encouraging collaboration between shipyards, designers, captains, classification societies, technology providers and owners. By sharing expertise and practical solutions, participants will help shape the next generation of vessels capable of meeting tomorrow’s environmental and operational challenges.
Beyond technology, the forum highlights the importance of cooperation across the maritime sector, reinforcing Monaco’s role as a global hub for innovation and responsible yachting.
With sustainability now at the heart of yacht design and operation, the Captains’ Forum 2026 promises another inspiring edition dedicated to advancing the future of maritime energy and accelerating the industry’s journey toward cleaner and smarter navigation.
