MYBA Charter Show 2023: Everything to Expect

By Heather Collier

Held annually at the end of April, the MYBA charter show is an incredible opportunity for the yachting world to come together in the heart of Barcelona.

Marking the beginning of the Mediterranean charter season, the MYBA Yacht Show in Barcelona is a true celebration of yachting.

The show has expressed its excitment for the next installment in the coming weeks, stating: "After a transitional year, we are already working to ensure the success of the next event which will once again be held in Marina Port Vell Barcelona. The pandemic prompted all of us to reevaluate what is important in our lives and in many cases, including ours, to ask ourselves what we can redesign, what we can do to follow a more sustainable path instead of simply returning to a new normal. We have embraced the learnings and are ready to implement them in order to organise a spectacular Show. We very much look forward to welcoming you in 2023 for the 33rd MYBA Charter Show!"

The industry-only event brings a breath-taking fleet of superyachts, brokerage firms and yacht crews together. Visitors and exhibitors can expect social entertainment, workshops and awards ceremonies to indulge in fun and excitement, as well as ample networking opportunities.

Curated by the MYBA, the show represents the association’s commitment to encouraging and upholding high standards across all spheres of the superyacht industry.

Previous shows enjoyed 16 successful years in Genoa, Italy, before relocating to the stunning Marina Port Vell in Barcelona last year.

In its 32nd edition, the 2022 show welcomed over seventy exhibitors and brokers, with some of the largest names in the yachting industry in attendance.

Attendees took delight in thrilling social entertainment, workshops, and award ceremonies, including a Superyacht Chefs’ competition – all wrapped in inspiring networking opportunities, and an underlying commitment to sustainability throughout to help minimise the impact of its activity on the environment.

The newly-rnovated Gallery also boasts A VIP room for meetings and networking. Presided over by a 6.5-metre travertine table, theroom is perfect for holding meetings or boards of directors in a unique environment. This space also has state-of-the-art audiovisual systems by Bang & Olufsen.

Marta Tuñí, Director of Marketing and Communication at Marina Port Vell Barcelona explains: "this VIP room is perfectly prepared to host meetings in a unique environment in the city, we are sure that it will be a great success among companies in Barcelona".

Some of the largest yachts in attendance at this year's show include Corsair's 90-metre NERO, an incredible vessel whose sleek lines and classic exterior heralds the golden age of private yachting. She will also be in the company of Amels' 76-metre BOADICEA, Nobiskrug's 73-metre SIREN and Feadship's 70-metre JOY, all of which are set to stun on another yachting world stage.

Nestled right in the heart of one of the world’s most iconic cities Barcelona, Marina Port Vell will once again showcase its first-class location, famous for its rich history and impeccable hospitality; providing guests with an exceptional experience from the moment they arrive.

This year's show will take place between the 24th and 27th of April 2023.
