Yachtllywood

The Editorial Home of Superyacht Culture

Yachtllywood is an independent media platform dedicated to the people, stories and culture shaping the superyacht industry.

We believe yachting has always been about much more than the yacht itself. It is about the people who imagine them, build them, design them, sell them, manage them and live around them. The personalities behind the industry. The conversations happening behind closed doors. The ideas changing what comes next. That is where Yachtllywood comes in.

Through original journalism, interviews, films, podcasts and our annual hardcover publication, we tell the stories behind the superyacht world with a distinctly editorial point of view. We sit down with shipyard leaders, designers, yacht owners, captains, entrepreneurs and some of the most interesting personalities in the industry. We go onboard. We travel to the shows. We follow the projects. And, above all, we look for the human story behind them.

Because specifications can tell you about a yacht. We want to tell you about the world around it.

BEYOND THE YACHT
Yachtllywood was created with a simple idea: to look at yachting differently. Our stories move between business, design, innovation, lifestyle and culture, reflecting an industry that is constantly evolving.

Sometimes that means a conversation with the person behind one of the world’s leading shipyards. Sometimes it means stepping onboard a newly launched yacht. Sometimes it is a designer, a captain, an entrepreneur, an unexpected personality or an idea that deserves a closer look. What matters to us is the story.

IN PRINT. ON SCREEN. IN CONVERSATION
Yachtllywood exists across print, digital, film, podcast and real-world experiences. Our hardcover Annual brings together a curated collection of original stories, photography and conversations from across the industry.

The Yachtllywood Show takes those conversations further, giving the people shaping yachting the space to speak beyond the usual headlines. Our films and digital stories bring audiences onboard yachts, inside shipyards and closer to the people behind the industry.

And through our events and collaborations, we bring that community together in real life. Different formats. One editorial world.

YACHTLLYWOOD
We don’t document yachts. We document superyacht culture. The people. The personalities. The conversations. The places. The moments you don’t find on a spec sheet. Because yachting has always been about much more than the yacht itself.

Meet the Founder: Sophianna Bergonzi

Born to a Colombian mother and a French father, Sophianna Bergonzi grew up between two cultures, immersed in a rich artistic heritage. From an early age, she was drawn to storytelling, creativity, and the power of communication. She pursued studies in Communications and Cinematography, and her journey took her across industries and countries, allowing her to master five languages.

In 2021, she arrived in Monaco and discovered the world of yachting. What started as curiosity quickly turned into a deep passion, not just for the yachts themselves but for the incredible people behind them. She realized that her love for connecting, communicating, and capturing beauty could bring real value to the yachting industry.

With Yachtllywood, Sophianna is redefining yachting media, creating a space that blends inspiration, storytelling, and high-level aesthetics to celebrate the people who shape this extraordinary industry.
