SPONSOR DAY 2025
The Italian Yacht Masters Sponsor Day, held on January 17, 2025, at the stunning Grand Hotel Marina Resort in Bordighera, marked the beginning of a year dedicated to growth, innovation, and collaboration within the association. This remarkable event brought together IYM’s 56 sponsors, Basic, Gold, and Diamond tiers, and highlighted the association’s strength and thriving network.
About the event, IYM Captain and Board Member Marco Nocenti (inserire link interno) shared the essence of being an IYM sponsor: “Sponsoring Italian Yacht Mastersa means joining an exclusive club of more than 100 captains—a great chance to connect with top professionals, share values, and forge lasting relationships in this specialized industry. It’s not just about participating in the Sponsor Day but creating year-round opportunities to directly engage with captains. These tailored moments allow sponsors to present their offerings to key decision-makers in yachting, driving collaboration and growth.”
IYM’s sponsors represent a diverse range of industries: Bunkering, Furniture and Accessories, Legal and Insurance Services, Media, Ports, Provisioning, Shipping Agencies, Shipyards, Onboard Technology, and Yacht Services.
This exceptional Sponsor Day was more than an event—it was a celebration of partnerships. From meaningful networking to impactful collaborations, the day reflected the shared vision and achievements of IYM and its sponsors.
A heartfelt thank you to all the attendees who made this event memorable. Looking forward to welcoming even more partners next year.
