With more than 12,000 bareboat yachts and nearly 2,000 crewed superyachts, the global yacht charter market is bigger than ever, generating over €15 billion annually.

Organized by the Yachtmaster Group, ICE has been connecting yacht charter professionals for over a decade. More than 50,000 people have taken part in ICE events, resulting in more than 200,000 in-person meetings. The focus of ICE’25 will be on the growing crewed and luxury sector, from yacht owners and fleet operators to charter brokers, vendors, and central agents.

ICE is structured into three key zones: Superyacht Village, Gulet Village, and Bareboat Area, offering a dedicated space for every segment of the charter industry. A highlight this year is the Superyacht Village, sponsored by Ankor Software, which has contributed €100,000 to support the event’s exhibitors. Thanks to this sponsorship, admission fees for first-time participants have been reduced by 50%.

At the heart of ICE is networking. Using the innovative Handshake matchmaking app, participants can schedule meetings up to a month in advance, ensuring that every conversation counts. Attendees schedule more than 20,000 appointments during the event. This efficiency, combined with the vibrant and positive atmosphere, results in high percentage of repeat-exhibitors. 

ICE is a professional-only event. Exhibiting is reserved for charter operators and vendors, while charter brokers, operators, and vendors can attend with a visiting pass. Prices range depending on the category, from €150 to €750.

ICE 2025 will take place at EXPO Groot-Amsterdam, Stelling 1, Vijfhuizen, from November 12–14, 2025.
