The United States has the design talent, shipyard infrastructure, specialized trades and technical expertise to execute even the most ambitious superyacht refits. So why are so many major projects still sent overseas? Led by renowned superyacht designer Patrick Knowles, this panel will bring together leaders from across the American refit sector to examine the capabilities already available here, and what is needed to make the United States the preferred destination for intensive, design-driven yacht transformations. Panelists will explore collaboration among designers, shipyards, engineers, craftspeople and marine suppliers; the advantages of completing major refits domestically; and how the industry can strengthen America’s position in the global refit market.
