The MYBA Charter Show consistently attracts an exceptional fleet of motor and sailing yacht charters, ranging from newly launched superyachts to recently refitted charter favourites.

Shipyards such as Feadship, Oceanco, and Lürssen have long been associated with the calibre of yachts presented, reinforcing the show’s position as a leading platform for the global charter industry.

Hosted by the Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association, the event serves as a launchpad for yachts entering the Mediterranean yacht charter market, offering brokers a first look at onboard features, crew standards, and guest experiences.

The docks of the MYBA Charter Show have been known to welcome an array of showstopping yachts over the years. Some highlights from previous editions include 295.7ft (90.1m) charter yacht NERO, 295.3ft (90m) superyacht charter LUNA, and 238ft (72.54m) luxury yacht charter CORAL OCEAN.

A standout feature of the show is the All Hands On Deck (AHOD) competition, which challenges crew to create immersive guest experiences, testing creativity, teamwork, and adaptability.

The renowned Chef’s Competition also returns, inviting top onboard chefs to craft themed tasting menus under time constraints, demonstrating both culinary precision and artistic flair. Alongside this, the tablescaping competition sees interior crew design visually striking table settings that complement the menu concept.

Why the Italian Riviera remains a charter favorite

From the elegant promenade of San Remo to the pastel-hued villages lining the Ligurian coastline, the region delivers a distinctive charm that appeals to both first-time and returning charter guests. Calm cruising conditions, well-equipped marinas, and close proximity to charter routes of Monaco and the French Riviera further enhance its appeal.

Charter itineraries from San Remo can easily extend to destinations such as Portofino, Cinque Terre, and northern Tuscany, creating diverse routes that balance relaxation, exploration, and vibrant social scenes.
