The sun was shining on San Remo’s Porto Sole Marina in Italy last week as yachts and their crews lined up to welcome visitors to the MYBA Yacht Charter Show. CharterWorld was represented at the show by our team of charter brokers eager to inspect the yachts on display, plus our fabulous charter yacht ROCK.IT, welcoming brokers and hosting guests for lunch on board.

As well as inspecting yachts, the team had the opportunity to enjoy the hospitality of the captains and crews, network with industry brokers and other visitors and hear about some exciting new technologies on the market.
“The MYBA Charter Show offered an excellent opportunity to see some of the yachts available for charter in the Western Mediterranean for the upcoming season. There were plenty of yachts in attendance in beautiful Sanremo that are either new to the market or have not been featured in a charter show recently, making it a fantastic chance to explore a wide range of yachts over the four days. “, said charter broker Trina Howes.
Our yacht highlights from the show
- M/Y NECTAR (65.20 m / 213′ 11″ Feadship) is fresh from a 2024 refit which has seen her upgraded to a high standard using plenty of light wood finishes and stylish neutral soft furnishings. The crew were exceptional and presented visitors with amazing table decorations.

- M/Y SOULMATE (34.30 m / 112′ 6″ DL Yachts) hosted a delicious lunch for brokers with beautifully presented dishes featuring cleverly matched flavours and perfect portions, all matched with a selection of Italian wines presented by VSF Yachts. The table presentation was simple yet elegant, with excellent service from the crew. Our team were impressed with the spaces on board, and she felt larger than her 34m length.
Lunch aboard yacht SOULMATE
- Eye-catching catamaran THIS IS IT (43.5m / 142’7” Tecnomar) is truly unique and would make an exciting choice for charter guests looking for an innovative, head-turning yacht. Those looking for a party loved M/Y ALFA NERO (81.27 m /266′ 8″ Oceanco) or M/Y FOREVER (44.81m / 146’98” Logica Yachts), which both showed off their swimming pools, deck bars and more.

CharterWorld’s LJ Houghting was kept busy presenting M/Y ROCK.IT (60.05 m / 197′ Feadship). The captain hosted lunch each day, which was created to perfection by the chef and beautifully presented and served by the attentive crew.
Charter yacht manager and broker, LJ Houghting also expressed her enthusiasm: “The MYBA Charter Show held in SanRemo this year proved to be the charter-industry event of the year showcasing the best-of-the-best yacht inventory for the summer, as well as forging strong relationships between the crew, the brokers, and the CA’s on behalf of their respective clients (yacht owners and charter clients). The weather was perfect, the Porto Sole Marina was the ideal setting, and a lot of positive business was conducted in place. ”

Social events, such as the Opening Cocktail Party for all participants, enabled everyone to unwind in the company of other brokers and yacht industry players, where lively discussions about yachts, destinations and the future of the industry went on late into the evening.
