The MYBA Charter Show, with its long history and dedication to quality, is both a business occasion and a true celebration. It brings together the world’s leading yachting professionals and provides them with the opportunity to appraise some of the finest yachts available for charter, as well as an exceptional array of ancillary services. Its hard won reputation precedes it, making introductions unnecessary even for those who have not yet attended.
What needs to be said, however, is that the Show is always in search of advancements that will enhance the experience of attendees and contribute to business. The standards of the yachting industry are continuously rising and the MYBA Charter Show not only recognises this but responds with carefully planned improvements and innovations. This year, the largest indoor reception & hospitality area to date has been unveiled. It is designed to facilitate meetings and offer welcome moments of respite during what is always a very busy Show. The 2016 Show also features an enlarged dock space/walkway for yachts at the top end of the MoloVecchio.
The MYBA Charter Show, in cooperation with Yacht Carbon Offset, is also making a greater effort towards minimising its carbon footprint. MYBA Admin has been offsetting its shore power, shuttle buses and business air travel, and this year’s event will see the introduction of eco-friendly show bags. Mark Robinson, of Yacht Carbon Offset said: “It is great to continue and develop our partnership with MYBA at this year’s Charter Show. This event draws together charter professionals and a collection of fantastic superyachts and we are delighted that the MYBA Charter Shows Panel is taking practical steps to improve the environmental profile. In Genoa, the Show is exactly the right moment to look ahead at how the forthcoming season’s charters can be perfected and enhanced for each and every client. Since the environmental agenda is high on the priority list for many eco-aware, prominent or politically connected Clients, it is essential for us all to show how readily a “greener” option is available. The MYBA Charter Shows Panel, and some of the world’s best charter yachts are already showing the way!”
According to the first indications from the organisers, the 28th MYBA Charter Show is off to a dynamic start. The number of yachts registered is high and the vessels already listed range from the sleek 63m IRIMARI built in 2015 to the timeless MALAHNE, a 50m motor yacht built in 1937 and last refitted in 2015.
There is also appetising news from the MYBASuperyacht Chefs’ Competition which will be enjoying its 4th year. As the MYBA Charter Show has taken place in Italy for the last 27 years, in both San Remo and Genoa, it seems only fitting that the theme for this year’s Competition is “A Tribute to Italy. Italian Cuisine – Classic and Modern”. Rising stars of the culinary scene will face the challenge of combining ingredients such as creativity, passion and precision, and the results will be judged by a panel with impressive credentials. The Competition is attracting growing global attention and has fast become one of the highlights of the Show.
