CharterWorld are media partner to the PBIBS, and broker Martha Lukasik had this to say about the event:
“[PBIBS] never disappoints! It was a spectacular display of yachts including a great selection of superyachts available for charter: I viewed several mega yachts that still have some weeks open for the upcoming summer charter season in the Mediterranean.”

“The show was filled with positive energy and enthusiasm, and it always reminds me a bit of the Cannes Boat Show vibe and atmosphere, where the yachts to view in the marina are surrounded by upscale boutiques, restaurants, galleries, artistic and antique furnishings as well as a dedicated jewellery exhibit, providing something for every interest.”
