MYBA -The Worldwide Yachting Association is pleased to announce the completion of another successful MYBA Charter Show in Genoa from May 2 – 6 2011. The MYBA Boat Show Committee worked hard with the Show Managers, Pesto Sea Group, throughout the year to ensure the success of this unique charter Show. A total of 79 yachts were presented in Marina Molo Vecchio, the Aquarium Quay and the new Marina Fiera which was accessed by ferry and shuttle. The standards and quality of the exhibiting yachts was exceptionally high with many brand new yachts having only just left the yard. The Show remains a unique opportunity for top charter brokers to view charter yachts available for the season ahead. This year over 350 brokers attended from all over the World and there was an impressive selection of over 59 exhibitors.
