The world of yachting is gearing up to celebrate World Boating Day on May 24, a global event dedicated to showcasing the joy, innovation, and opportunities within the leisure boating industry. To mark this occasion, The Superyacht Life Foundation has launched a special social media campaign: #WaveForBoating. This initiative invites boating enthusiasts, industry professionals, and water lovers worldwide to share a simple yet powerful gesture – a wave – to express their passion for life at sea.
