A highly anticipated trade-only European yachting event, the MYBA Charter Show introduces industry professionals to a range of the latest and most popular Mediterranean yacht charters.
Forming a base as a training platform for industry professionals, brokers, and influencers, the MYBA Charter Show has been on the yachting scene for more than 30 years and is now a staple showcase for the summer Mediterranean yacht charter season.
Going from strength to strength, the MYBA Charter Show is known to attract large crowds and some of the biggest shipyards in the world. Playing a fundamental role in educating the industry about some of the most innovative sailing and motor yacht charters on the market.
Organized by MYBA, the Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association, the MYBA Charter Show aims to provide the perfect platform for connecting, networking, and developing the yachting industry to progress with the latest innovative products and new yacht rentals operating in the regions of the French Riviera, Sardinia, Corsica, and other popular Mediterranean hotpots.
Many well-known names of the industry return every year, including the likes of Feadship, Oceanco, and Lurssen, with many charter yachts making their debuts following refits or ahead of their inaugural season.
Showcasing an increasingly larger fleet in numbers and length, some of the largest superyacht charters to have attended the MYBA Charter Show include 318.11ft (97.2m) superyacht charter CARINTHIA VII, the iconic 295.7ft (90.09m) charter yacht NERO, and the stunning 288.9ft (88m) sailing yacht charter MALTESE FALCON.
In addition to the plethora of glistening motor and sailing yacht charters around the pontoons, the MYBA Charter Show is well known for giving attending West Mediterranean yacht charters the chance to battle it out for bragging rights in the Chef's Competition and also a tablescaping event.
The Chef's Competition harnesses a different focus every year, giving competing chefs the opportunity to show off their natural creative flairs. Previous categories have included sustainability and Italian cuisine meets the world.
Chefs are challenged to create a trio of dishes within 35 minutes to be judged by a curated panel at the show, and the stewards then create a matching tablescape to accompany the themed food.
The All Hands On Deck (AHOD) competition is also set for its return to the MYBA Charter Show, inviting yacht crews to demonstrate their ingenuity and creativity by crafting imaginative guest experiences suited for any weather condition.
Also on offer, a full program of seminars, guided tours, and exclusive experiences, are in place for those attending the show to walk away with a wealth of knowledge, which can then be passed back to clients and future France and Italy yacht charter bookings.
Dates for the 2026 MYBA Charter Show are scheduled for 27 - 30 April.
Opening times are yet to be announced.
