Save the date for the world’s largest exhibition of professional crewed charter yachts which will take place from the 22nd to the 25th of April 2021, marking the opening of the Mediterranean season
and placing Greek yachting tourism in the spotlight.

The Mediterranean Yacht Show (MEDYS), one of the most significant events on the international yachting calendar, will be returning for a 7th year to the welcoming port of Nafplion. The MEDYS, which is organised by the Greek Yachting Association with the invaluable cooperation and support of the Municipality of Nafplion, is the world’s largest exhibition of professional crewed charter yachts and plays an important role in the growth and development of yachting tourism in Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean.

Every year, the show draws a discerning audience of charter brokers from all over the world, providing them with the opportunity to inspect the yachts that are available for charter in Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean, as well as meet the crew and learn about the range of experiences to be enjoyed on board.

The steadily increasing number of participating yachts, the best of services, the spectacular location of the show and its unique ambiance, make the MEDYS one of the most anticipated B2B events as far as the international yachting community is concerned. It offers charter companies, sponsors and exhibitors, four days during which they can reach out to an international audience of highly qualified yachting professionals, promote their services and products, and form meaningful connections.

The Chefs’ Competition” will once again be an exciting part of the show, showcasing the culinary talents and creativity of the yacht chefs, while a series of themed events and receptions that facilitate networking will complete the picture.

With the 2019 MEDYS counting 102 registered luxury crewed charter yachts with a cumulative length of 3,5 kilometres, and  the participation of 450 brokers from 31 countries, expectations for the MEDYS 2021 are indeed very high.

We look forward to welcoming you in April of 2021!

 

9th Mediterranean Yacht Show

Having emerged as the world’s largest crewed yacht charter show, MEDYS marked this year its 10th anniversary since its founding. Once again, it gathered the crème de la crème of yachts operating under Greek professional license, hundreds of industry professionals from around the world, and dozens of exhibitors with products and services related to yachting.

The 9th edition of the Show was held from April 27th to May 1st, 2024, at the port of Nafplion and once again highlighted the dynamics of Greek yachting, affirming its role as the spearhead of maritime tourism.

This year's Show set a record with 102 yachts with a cumulative LOA of 3.9 kilometers registered for participation within just a few days of registration opening, creating an extensive waiting list, while last minute charters prevented some of them from attending. The Show was visited by 760 industry professionals from 30 countries around the world. It is worth noting that only yachts measuring 24 meters and above in length have the right to participate in the Show, which is exclusively addressed to luxury yachting.

Yachting tourism attracts an increasing number of visitors to Greece and MEDYS is the perfect occasion to highlight the region as one of the top yachting destinations globally. The show owes its success to the large number of registered yachts, the great turn-out of industry professionals from all corners of the globe and the contribution of the local CAs. It is organized each year by GYA under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Tourism and with the kind support of the Municipality of Nafplion.
