HUMANS OF YACHTING
Meet The Honourees 2024
FRÉDÉRIC JOUSSET
Combining his sailing passion with art initiation from a young age, Frédéric Jousset founded the Art Explora Foundation to democratise access to culture and bring art to the masses. It resulted in the birth of the world's largest catamaran and innovative floating museum, ArtExplorer, currently touring the Mediterranean.
MIKE HORN
Having spent over 20 years pushing the limits of exploration, achieving feats like swimming the Amazon, circumnavigating the equator, and trekking from the Arctic Cape to the North Pole, Mike Horn launched the Pangaea X youth initiative in 2008 to empower young innovators to tackle global issues through environmental and social projects.
NICK ENTWISLE
After decades in the superyacht industry and as retirement loomed, the superyacht industry veteran redirected his passions and set up a Yachting Gives Back on his adopted home of Mallorca. Nick Entwisle's organisation mobilises the superyacht community to support local homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and food banks.
A NIGHT OF DISCOVERY
A celebration of passion and innovation
The evening celebration, hosted at the prestigious Salle des Etoiles in Monaco, was a powerful testament to passion and innovation. Through inspiring documentaries and insightful on-stage conversations with the honourees, the event not only celebrated their extraordinary accomplishments but also inspired discussion and ignited a renewed sense of hope for the future.
