8th Mediterranean Yacht Show in Nafplio, Greece, 29 April - 3 May 2023

The Mediterranean Yacht Show takes place in Nafplio, Greece at the beginning of the Mediterranean’s summer season. This show is a targeted trade show for yachting professionals specialised in charter yachts.

It is the biggest yacht show in the Mediterranean of its kind. Over 100 yachts are displayed on the waterfront of the magnificent town of Nafplio and presented to the brokers and industry members by their crews and management teams. The yachts vary in size and style, from smaller catamarans to large super yachts. All are available for charters in the Mediterranean.

The show offers a fantastic opportunity for the yachting professionals to:

– View the yachts that will be available for charter this season.

– Meet the crews in person.

– Taste chefs’ specialities.

– Network with industry professionals, and exchange experiences and ideas.

– Enjoy the magnificent town of Nafpilo and the worm welcome that our Greek colleagues are so famous for!

The site location is historic, fascinating and well worth a visit. Often, there are a day’s or several-days’ sailing available after the show, known as familiarisation trips. Brokers value this charter show enormously and our clients benefit from the knowledge and contacts we build there.

The largest exhibition of professional crewed yachts in the world, will return to the port of Nafplio from April 30th to May 4th 2022. The Mediterranean Yacht Show returns to Nafplio for the 7th year, following its great success of the previous years. So from April 30th to May 4th 2022, the Argolic capital becomes the focus of marine tourism, hosting in its picturesque harbor a large number of impressive, luxurious pleasure boats available for charter and their crews. 

The Mediterranean Yacht Show, which is organized by the  Greek Yachting Association  (GYA) with the support of the Municipality of Nafplio, is recognized as the most important show of its kind worldwide. It offers the opportunity to an international audience of charter brokers to see closely the vessels available for chartering in Greece and throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, to meet their crews and learn about the features and options they offer. The Mediterranean Yacht Show is an important event in the yachting agenda, because of the large number of participating vessels, the excellent level of services it offers and the idyllic location that hosts it. Τhe 6th MEDYS was a resounding success, with 102 luxury crewed yachts registering and more than 450 international brokers from 31 countries from all over the world attending. The MEDYS 2019 was the biggest charter show in the world in terms of the total number of registered yachts (102) and their cumulative L.O.A of more than 3.5 km. The contribution of the MEDYS in the growth and development of yachting tourism in Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean is unquestionable, with each year attracting greater global interest from industry professionals. The exhibition brings together central agents, brokers and exhibitors with yachting services and products, placing Greek marine tourism at a global focus. Expectations for the 7th Mediterranean Yacht Show are correspondingly high, with a large number of vessels intending to line up in the port of Nafplio and numerous charter brokers to be arriving from every corner of the globe.

More than 100 superyachts make their way to Nafplio ahead of 9th Mediterranean Yacht Show

On 27 April 2024, the chairman of the Greek Yachting Association (GYA), will open the 9th edition of the Mediterranean Yacht Show (MEDYS) in Nafplion, Greece. The five-day charter show (from 27 April to 1 May) promises to be another record-breaking year with 102 yachts planning to attend, along with 438 brokers and 33 exhibitors hailing from 27 different countries.

Facilitated by the GYA with the crucial support of the Municipality of Nafplion, the yacht show is poised to place a spotlight on the Greek charter market along with the fleet and cruising potential. To achieve this, the 9th MEDYS is brimming with social gatherings, parties, discussions and competitions that illustrate the breadth of the Greek market.

The 102 attending yachts – with a combined LOA of 3,927 metres – range from 95-metre O’Pari down to 15.9-metre Tamiro, with everything in between, all of which are open to brokers for viewings. Other yachts in attendance include 73.5-metre Lady Vera , 59.3m- Idyllic, 50-metre Ouranos and 41.8-metre Seabiscuit .

The show is an official marker of the Mediterranean season, and after the ceremonial sounding of the horns, the 102 yachts will kick off their charter season in Greek waters.

MEDYS is the official showcase of yachts chartering in Greek waters with a wide range of exhibiting brokers including IYC, Burgess , Edmiston , Fraser Yachts Greece , Camper and Nicholsons and Parsifal Yachting.

The 9th edition of the show also sees the return of the prodigious chef’s competition. The competition offers yacht chefs a platform to demonstrate their culinary competence and unleash their creativity, presenting Greek gastronomy at its finest. This year’s challenge pays tribute to the wider area that has been hosting the show for years, Argolida, and its rich lands with the theme: Cooking the Orange.

Participating chefs are challenged to craft their finest main course dishes, celebrating the orange's versatility. The competition will be judged by chef George Papazacharias of the two Michelin-starred, Delta Restaurant in Athens and Michelin-starred chef Luca Piscazzi, of the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens.

As official media partners, BOAT will be reporting on the ground on social media channels.

By Nina Done   1 May 2023

The eighth edition of the Mediterranean Yacht Show , being held in Nafplion, Greece , is now officially underway and the YachtCharterFleet team are on the red carpet taking in all the action.

The sun was shining as the Mediterranean Yacht Show 2023 opened its doors on Saturday, welcoming yacht brokers and other industry professionals, who have travelled to Greece from across the globe to see the event’s record-breaking number of charter yachts on display.

Just over 75 superyachts are lined up in Nafplion harbour, and crew and captains have been busy making the final preparations for the show. Now superyacht viewings are in full swing, with the boardwalks alive with attendees.

In addition to the showcase of charter yachts, there is an exhibition zone, where luxury lifestyle brands, marinas and harbours, marine accessories and water toy companies are displaying their services. Open all day, the section is a hive of activity too.

YachtCharterFleet has been walking the red carpet, which fringes the edge of the charming historic port, taking in spectacular yachts, such as the 85m (278ft) superyacht O’PTASIA from Greek shipyard Golden Yachts and Nobiskrug ’s beautifully refitted 74m (242ft) motor yacht LADY VERA (ex-Sapphire), who is making her debut at the show.

There are also some eye-catching sailing yachts in attendance, including the World Superyacht Award finalist 31m (101ft) charter yacht BLACK LION from Perini Navi and the Greek-built 46m (152ft) charter yacht ARKTOS .   

The opening day concluded with an opening ceremony at the port of Nafplion and a welcome reception at the Palamidi Fortress – a spectacular citadel standing on a 216-metre-high outcrop of rock with brilliant views of Nafplio and the Argolic Gulf.

Running for four days in total, the event will draw to a close on Wednesday 3rd May with a farewell party. There will be further social events across the show, and YachtCharterFleet looks forward to experiencing more yacht tours, and exclusive on-board dining experiences and the highly-anticipated Chef Competition award ceremony.

For more information on any yachts at the show, please speak to your preferred charter broker .
