With Monaco Yacht Show now over, one of the busiest periods in the international yachting calendar has also drawn to a close. In recent weeks, Cannes and Monaco have welcomed much of the yachting world, putting the latest industry developments and trends firmly in the spotlight.

At both events, Marina Port Valencia took the opportunity to build on its relationships with clients, brokers, suppliers and other professionals interested in the project. The team spoke directly with some of the industry's leading players, sharing updates on the progress of the works and the next steps planned for the marina's redevelopment.

Personal contact is particularly important at this type of event. Cannes Yachting Festival and Monaco Yacht Show both provide a setting where owners, brokers, captains and yachting companies can network over the course of several days, leading to meetings and conversations that give first-hand insight into the needs of an ever-evolving industry.

For Marina Port Valencia, these meetings also offered a platform to outline how its facilities will evolve as the project makes headway. Each phase of the development will introduce new spaces, services and enhancements as the future marina gradually takes shape.

Apart from the business side of things, attending these two shows has helped cement Valencia's position on the international yachting map. The city is becoming more and more attractive to the industry, thanks to its beautiful Mediterranean location and its ever-growing appeal as a destination.

Next up on the calendar of major yachting events is Valencia Boat Show, being held on home waters between 28 October and 1 November. Marina Port Valencia will be taking part as a Premium Partner with a stand at La Marineta, which during the show will turn into a meeting point for yachting professionals, clients and visitors.

With Cannes and Monaco now over, the focus is shifting to Valencia. Along the way, the international boat show season has brought new connections, opportunities and projects to the table, as Marina Port Valencia continues to develop its facilities and work towards positioning the city as one of the Mediterranean's premier yachting destinations.
