Martin H. Redmayne
After an in-depth look at the burgeoning superyacht business in 1992, a rash decision was made to develop a brand new magazine that would stand alone as the only serious business journal focusing on the technology and business growth of the large yacht market. The Superyacht Report has now established itself as the authority in the market, with accurate, intelligent and informed reporting on all aspects of the superyacht world, following an extensive rebrand in 2017, The Superyacht Report is the leading magazine for the market. Redmayne has spent time on over 1,000 yachts, interviewed hundreds of owners and designers, and gained a rare insight into the market by chairing conferences and events around the globe.
