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 charter routes of the French Riviera, Sardinia, Corsica, and other popular Mediterranean hotspots.

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.

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.

Italy continues to define the Mediterranean charter experience, offering extraordinary cruising grounds that combine cultural heritage, exceptional cuisine, and diverse landscapes.

From the pastel-hued villages of the Ligurian Riviera and the dramatic cliffs of the Amalfi Coast to the crystalline waters of Sardinia and the Aeolian Islands, Italy delivers variety, beauty, and depth in equal measure.

San Remo provides a natural gateway to this region, placing charter guests within easy reach of some of the Med’s most captivating destinations.

Dates for the 2026 MYBA Charter Show are scheduled for 27 - 30 April.
