The Mediterranean Yacht Show (MEDYS) is one of the most important charter yacht shows in the Mediterranean, and it has returned for its spectacular 7th edition at Nafplion, Greece, after a two-year absence due to the worldwide pandemic.

This highly respected event for industry professionals ran from 30th April to 4th May 2022, organised by the Greek Yachting Association with the support of the Municipality of Nafplion. 90 registered yachts were in attendance and together they filled the designated show space, leaving on a waiting list another 20 luxury charter yachts that were hoping to show off their amenities, living areas and talented crews.

MEDYS had 30 countries from across the world represented, and the 31 exhibitors showcased essential and innovative yacht-related products and services. Over 610 yacht brokers attended the 2022 edition, among them brokers from CharterWorld, including Trina Howes. Over the five-day event, she took the opportunity to examine the vessels up close, and learn more about their crews and the services each charter vessel can offer its future guests.

The event was held online as the first Virtual Yacht Charter Show in 2020 and 2021, however, these digital editions could not capture one of the most anticipated highlights of the physical event: The Chefs’ Competition. The panel of judges consisted of experienced yacht brokers and Angelo Lantos, who is the chef of the 2 Michelin-starred restaurants Spondi, and Thanos Stasinos, the chef of restaurants Huracan in Athens, Pacific in Monte Carlo and Ritz Carlton in Valencia.

“The Chefs’ Competition was a lot of fun,” commented Trina Howes. “It was so hard to choose a favourite as they delivered tasty vegan dishes almost across the board. It was a terrific opportunity to see each chef’s creativity come to the table, and charter clients in Greece will not be disappointed.”
The Greece charter grounds have always been a favourite destination for luxury yachts, where myriad islands that would otherwise be out of reach are now just an afternoon nap away. From the otherworldly beauty of the Ionian Islands and the sailing haven of the Saronic Gulf to the partying and Scuba diving wonders of the Cyclades and the multi-cultural Dodecanese Islands, a single visit will leave you wondering what else there is to find.
