The Greek Yachting Association (GYA) is pleased to inform you that the duration of the 6th Mediterranean Yacht Show, which will once again be held in Nafplion, has been extended to five days! The dates for the upcoming annual celebration of yachting tourism in Greece have been confirmed and they are 04 - 08 May, 2019.

The unprecedented success of the 5th Mediterranean Yacht Show, in which 107 of the finest crewed yachts available for charter were visited by more than 400 yachting professionals from all corners of the globe, proclaimed it the largest event of its kind in the Eastern Mediterranean. The GYA expects an even larger number of yacht registrations for next year and, after discussions with participants & attendees and careful deliberation by the board, it has decided to increase the number of days that the event will run. With an estimated 120 yachts participating in 2019, attending brokers & charter managers will in fact need a little more time to view and appraise the yachts that are of interest to them.

We look forward to seeing you all in Nafplion next year, where you will have the opportunity to view an even more impressive line-up of the luxury crewed yachts that are available for charter in the region.

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.
