The 4th Mediterranean Yacht Show came to a close with great success after the four day event, which was organised by the Greek Yachting Association from 29 April to 2 May this year. The historic port of Nafplion was the perfect location to host the show, providing a wonderful setting for the plethora of crewed luxury yachts taking part and offering its warm hospitality to local and international attendees.

While the social agenda was a vivid one with numerous themed parties and yacht hops, it was the yachts that were the real protagonists. A new numerical record was set this year and there were yachts on display that were new to the charter market. Combined with informative seminars and exhibitors presenting a wide range of ancillary services, it came as no surprise that the yachting professionals that had gathered from every corner of the world responded heartily!

Having already secured its position as the most significant yachting event in the East Mediterranean, the 4th Mediterranean Yacht Show reaffirmed the importance of marine tourism in the region, attracting visitors from all over the globe. It attracted more than 300 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 4th Mediterranean Yacht Show was organized by the Greek Yachting Association under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Tourism with the support of the Municipality of Nafplion and the Region of the Peloponnese.

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.
