The Mediterranean Yacht Show is a targeted trade show for charter broker professionals, showcasing the charter yachts and their highly professional crews that operate in Greece and the Mediterranean. Held in the picturesque city of Nafplion, the first capital of the newly born Greek state from 1823 to 1834, the event is organized by the Greek Yachting Association (GYA) and held under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism.
Nafplion is famous for Bourtzi, a fortress built on an islet in the middle of the bay, Palamidi, a Venetian fortress crowning the city and Akronafplia another Venetian fortress built on the homonymous peninsula.
According to the Greek mythology, the city takes its name from its founder, Nafplion, son of Poseidon and Amymonis.
The Mediterranean Yacht Show has established itself as a must-attend event on the global yachting calendar, offering internatonional brokers the opportunity to inspect and appraise an outstanding fleet of commercial EU-flagged luxury yachts and the high caliber of services they provide.
This year, the show will take place from 28 April to 1 May and is set to attract another impressive line-up of exquisite leisure crafts available for charter in Greek waters and beyond.
A perennial highlight of the 5th Mediterranean Yacht Show, the Chefs' Competition returns this year, showcasing some of the finest culinary talents in Greece. Chefs from the region's best luxury crewed yachts will emerge from their galleys ready to engage in a battle of flavours and impress the presiding judges. Aimed at highlighting the diverse culinary traditions of Greece as well as the opportunities afforded by its fresh and varied produce, the MEDYS Chefs' Competition celebrates the creative gastronomic talents found within professional yachting crews.
The Luxury Charter Group will be in attendance, personally inspecting the 100+ charter yachts on display, meeting their Captains and crews and absorbing each vessel's unique attributes. Our objective is to match our clients with a selection of luxury charter yachts that suit their requirements – from layout and amenities, onboard activities, cuisine, crew specialties and skills, ambience and the all-important plethora of equipment, watertoys and recreational facilities to make your Mediterranean charter experience infinitely memorable.
