Nafplion is gearing up for another dazzling event with a captivating showcase of premium superyacht charters. As the latest Mediterranean Yacht Show (MEDYS) approaches, the trade-only event is ready to welcome industry professionals through its doors.
Each year, the Mediterranean Yacht Show (MEDYS) hosts over 100 of the most opulent superyacht charters available, showcasing the pinnacle of luxury on the market. Celebrating its 11th edition, this event consistently demonstrates the region's allure as a premier destination for Mediterranean yacht charters.
Offering a prime platform for industry professionals and brokers to engage with the captains and crews of the showcasing yacht rentals, MEDYS acts beyond its role as a source of inspiration for yachting in the Greek islands, providing a valuable opportunity to experience insights from those who are familiar with the attending fleet of Greece yacht charters.
Featuring an impressive array of sailing and motor yacht charters holding Greek charter licenses, the Mediterranean Yacht Show is an ideal destination for industry professionals working in the fields of yacht ownership or assisting clients in choosing the right charter for Mediterranean or Mykonos yacht charters.
Visitors can enjoy firsthand tours led by attending brand representatives, with opportunities for sea trials as well. Amidst the tranquil setting with top-tier superyacht charters, MEDYS offers a lively social calendar packed with soirees and mixers to help encourage networking and raise awareness of the surrounding region as a yacht charter destination.
Attracting a gleaming array of superyacht charters every year, visitors to the show can expect to see a sparkling selection of expert craftsmanship from shipyards, including Golden Yachts, CRN Yachts, and Benetti, to name a few. Some of the latest yachts to have attended the event include 213.3ft (65m) superyacht charter ARTISAN, 165.8ft (50.5m) charter yacht TOTEM, and 164.1ft (50m) luxury yacht charter LA PELLEGRINA 1.
Adding to the allure of the gleaming display of motor yacht charters, the Mediterranean Yacht Show also welcomes the return of its renowned Chef's Competition, spotlighting the finest cuisine in the Greek charter market.
A standout event at the show, the Chef’s Competition showcases the culinary brilliance of superyacht chefs as they go head-to-head in a three-course challenge. With a different theme each year—such as Zero Waste From the Greek Seas in 2023 and Gourmet Beach Food in 2019—the competition pushes chefs to craft sustainable, visually striking, and mouthwatering dishes. From starters to desserts, each course is designed to impress.
Judged by a panel of esteemed culinary experts, the competition highlights not just flavor but also innovation and presentation. Chefs use the finest ingredients to bring the theme to life, while exquisite tablescaping enhances the overall experience.
Two notable winners of the Mediterranean Yacht Show Chef’s Competition include Chef Tatiana Konstantidi of 121.1ft (36.91m) luxury yacht charter HAKUNA MATATA, who secured first place in the Category A Platinum division in 2023, and Chef Aristeidis Vlachogiannis of 154.2ft (47m) superyacht charter AFRICA I in 2024.
Opening times and dates for MEDYS 2026 are yet to be announced.
