Conversations and camaraderie

The 2024 Sydney Superyacht Captains’ Long Lunch united a stellar guest list gathered from across the industry, celebrating the end of another eventful year.

Hosted by Rivergate Marina & Shipyard, Sydney Superyacht Marina and Major Yacht Services, this year’s Long Lunch was held at Ploós restaurant (meaning ‘Voyage’ in Greek) at Campbell’s Cove, overlooking the iconic landmarks of Sydney Harbour, its Bridge and Opera House.

35 guests, including 18 superyacht captains and representatives from AIMEX-Superyacht Australia, tourism, trade, charter and support services, and Hillary Buckman from Ocean Media attended and savoured a menu drawn from the culinary traditions of the South Aegean Sea.

It was also a much-appreciated opportunity to take time to exchange insight, experiences and opinions about a range of topics.

Flowing on from the introductions and catching up over entrees, the first ‘order of business’ was celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Sydney Superyacht Marina – a genuine reason to toast the growth and evolution of an industry that employs so many people across its various segments.
