The International Charter Expo will once again showcase the best in the industry. But this time it is being held at a new location, in Amsterdam, November 13-15. Let's see what ICE24 brings this year.

Get ready for the most exclusive yacht charter networking event of the year, the International Charter Expo—ICE'24.

ICE'24, which will take place November 13-15 at EXPO Greater Amsterdam this year, will bring together over 1,500 business decision-makers, creating an unrivaled opportunity for networking and growth in the yacht charter industry. 
  
From fleet operators and central agents to brokers, agencies, suppliers, and booking systems—everyone is gathering under one roof, making ICE'24 the perfect place to meet, connect, and do business.  

  

Crewed & Luxury - expo unlike any other  

ICE'24 is not just any trade show; it’s the premier B2B event for the yacht charter industry.  
There is an entire area dedicated to crewed yachts and private charters with hundreds of the world’s most prestigious crewed yachts.  
  
Valued at over 1 trillion euros in seasonal rentals, more than 800 stunning yacht models will be featured, offering incomparable opportunities for business growth.  
  
Whether you're a broker seeking to expand your offers or a central agent wanting to present your fleet, ICE'24 provides an unmatched platform to connect and collaborate with key players in the industry.  
 

 

International Charter Expo vs. traditional boat shows    

While traditional boat shows have their place in in-water yacht displays, ICE takes a more comprehensive, people-focused approach.  
  
With over 550 companies from more than 50 countries attending, ICE gathers key decision-makers—like booking managers and central agents—all in one place, providing direct access to the industry’s leading players.  
  
They will represent every type of service and yacht you might be looking for, from crewed and luxury yachts to bareboats. It’s an opportunity not only to meet potential partners but to explore a diverse mix of business opportunities within the yacht industry.  
  
At ICE, the focus is more on yachts than on fostering genuine business relationships. Attending the expo means more than just viewing luxury yachts; you're making connections that could drive your business for years. 
  
Running from 9 am to 6 pm, ICE offers a flexible schedule that lets participants manage their time efficiently, and there are no mandatory breaks that can interrupt the flow of business.  
  
The event's structure allows for networking during lunch without completely pausing activities, ensuring a relaxed yet productive atmosphere.  

  

Pre-arranged meetings for maximum efficiency  

One of the main advantages of ICE over traditional boat shows is the innovative matchmaking system know as the Handshake.  
  
This software lets participants pre-arrange meetings, ensuring they make meaningful connections without wasting time. The software schedules meetings in advance, enabling up to 17 individual sessions per day, each lasting 30 minutes. 
  
This feature maximizes efficiency and enables focused discussions, whether you're aiming to build relationships with agents, brokers, or yacht suppliers. 
    
To make the most of your Handshake experience, be sure to create a complete profile—add a photo, contact details, and a short company description. A well-crafted profile will help you gain more visibility, making it easier for potential partners to recognize and connect with you.  
 

 

Why is ICE a must-attend event for yacht charter professionals? 

ICE'24 isn’t just another yacht expo—it's a gateway to building meaningful, lasting connections. The focus is not only on buying and selling but also on fostering partnerships, trust, and collaboration that can help your business flourish.
