The Greek Yachting Association organized the 2nd Mediterranean Yacht Show from May 2 through to May 6 in Nafplion. The Mediterranean Yacht Show is now considered to be an established event on the yachting calendar and is recognized internationally as a leading charter yacht show for crewed yachts.

The success of the 2nd Mediterranean Yacht Show 2015 exceeded the expectations of the organizers. During the event, Nafplion became the center of yachting internationally. There was an increase in the number of attending yachts as well as an overall improvement in their quality.

It attracted more than 240 attendees, brokers and members of the press and provided an excellent platform to demonstrate the important role that Greek CA's can play when working to accomplish common objectives.

The Board Members of the GYA (Greek Yachting Association) are now even more committed to shaping a show of the highest quality and of augmented trade interest: a show that will cover a wide range of topics and that will create unique opportunities for interaction with all yachting factors active in this area of the world.

THE GYA FLEET

8th Mediterranean Yacht Show

Having emerged as one of the premier events for industry professionals, the 8th Mediterranean Yacht Show (MEDYS) turned the international spotlight onto Greece once again, as the host of the world’s largest crewed yacht charter show.

It is worth noting that yachts measuring 24 meters and above in length have the right to participate in the exhibition, making the MEDYS the only sector event of similar scope in Greece that is exclusively addressed to the upper segment of luxury yachting. At this year's Show, 92 yachts with a cumulative LOA of 3.5 kilometers were present, with a waiting list (due to limited space in the port of Nafplion) that surpassed the numbers of every previous year. In order to fully grasp the MEDYS’ size, it is worth considering that the number of participating yachts far exceeded that of comparable shows. Confirming the event's success is, among others, the significantly larger presence of industry professionals from all over the world, with more than 750 participants from 31 countries.

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.
