SynfoTV is one of our hottest new media and even better: anyone can submit footage, we only ask it is relevant to superyachts. The below gives an outline of the categories we currently host, but this is an ever-expanding project and we welcome footage from all areas, although the more crew-focused videos can be found on our sister website Yotcru.com.
If there is any area of the industry you want to learn more about, the chances are we will have an audio visual representation on SynfoTV. After all, if a “picture paints a thousand words” imagine the message you can convey here.
- EQUIPMENT
It is often hard to understand exactly what any one piece of equipment does on board or to convey the benefits it can offer. Which is why we have an open equipment section whereby you can see or send us your equipment videos/demonstrations. For instance, the video to the left shows the capabilities of an LRAD system combined with navigation equipment.
- YARDS
There is a plethora of superyacht yards in the world; here we have a sample of some, both in Europe and North America. This is your chance to see how they all differ and how a yard really does function. An insight into the daily lives of these teams is fascinating. Again, if you have video footage, send it through to us for our visitors to see ...
- YACHTS
... and where there are yards, there are yachts. Here we have a sample of a selection of those already in the global fleet and in the water. Can you guess which one this is? If not, simply head to Synfo TV to find out more.
- EVENTS
Every year we host numerous conferences and events. Those we don’t host, we attend anyway! Here is a chance for you to find out more of what has been happening in the industry if you weren’t able to attend in person yourself. This can include Owners’ speeches like the one to the right, or technical papers from experts in the superyacht field.
- LOCATIONS
One of the reasons we have superyachts are the locations they sail to. This section offers an opportunity for anyone, anywhere superyachts go, to show off their best bits. Here we have Yacht Haven Grande and the opportunities and fun atmosphere it offers all its visitors.
- SERVICES
Superyachts need super-services, but how exactly do yacht transporters actually work? Ever wondered? Know but want to see a visually stunning depiction of events? Simply head to the SERVICES section of SynfoTV and find out exactly what the scuba diver is up to ...
