Mediterranean Yacht Show (MEDYS) 2024

The 9th Mediterranean Yacht Show (MEDYS), the world’s largest crewed yacht charter show will be held on April 27th to May 1st, 2024 at the picturesque town of Nafplio.

It is a main yachting event that will display in the best possible way the “crème de la crème” of the licensed and legally operating highly professional yachts and crews in this part of the World.

Organized by the Greek Yachting Association (GYA) and held under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism and the crucial support of the Municipality of Nafplion, the Mediterranean Yacht Show has established itself as a must-attend event on the global yachting calendar, offering foreign brokers the opportunity to inspect and appraise an outstanding fleet of commercial EU-flagged luxury yachts and the high caliber of services they provide. Save the date for the show that plays a pivotal role in the growth and development of yachting in Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean.

In terms of attending yachts, the 2023 MEDYS once again surpassed the numbers achieved by shows of the same nature that cover the Americas and the Western Mediterranean and reinforced its position as the leading show of its kind. The 8th MEDYS featured 92 yachts with an impressive cumulative length of 3.5 km and an equally impressive waiting list (due to limited space in the port of Nafplio) that well exceeded that of previous years. The event attracted more than 750 yachting professionals from 31 countries who had the opportunity to inspect yachts with a Greek charter licence, meet the crew, and discover a wide range of services and products.

The quantity and quality of the participating yachts, in combination with the unique location and the hospitality that Greeks are famous for, have established the MEDYS as the must-attend event on the international yachting calendar. The laid-back atmosphere that prevails, and creates countless networking opportunities for attendees, is also one of the strong points of the show.

The Chefs’ Competition will also be returning in 2024 to challenge the creativity, talent, and skills of the yacht chefs. “Zero Waste” was the theme for 2023: it raised the bar and there is already anticipation, seasoned with a little healthy anxiety, for next year. The judging panel will, as always, be stellar and the organisers have lost no time in reaching out to restaurant chefs who are cooking up a storm in the culinary world. It takes talent to recognise talent as they say.

A schedule of social events, including receptions and parties, will add a further dimension to the show with the aim of offering an experience that is both productive and pleasurable.
