Insider Insight

Book a VIP pass to access the “Luxury Gallery” and arrange private onboard viewings of yachts not open to the public. Some builders also host invite-only cocktail events on deck—just ask your hotel concierge to put you on the list. For collectors, limited-edition marine chronometers and yachting fashion pop-ups are scattered discreetly around Port Canto.
