MYBA Charter Show 2027

Overview of the MYBA Charter Show 2027

MYBA has confirmed 3-6 May 2027 as the dates for the 37th edition of its charter show, held again at Portosole Marina in Sanremo, Italy. This remains a trade-only fixture on the Mediterranean yachting calendar. Registration details and the full exhibitor program for 2027 had not yet been published at the time of writing, so check directly with MYBA or your broker closer to the date for confirmed access arrangements.

The show brings together charter brokers, central agents, and yacht crews for a focused program of yacht inspections, onboard presentations, and professional networking ahead of the summer season. BookYachtCharter tracks it because broker activity at the show is a useful early read on which yachts are entering the market and how early-season rates are shaping up.

For charter guests, a yacht charter timed around MYBA Charter Show 2027 usually means using Sanremo and the Ligurian Riviera as a convenient spring base, either to align dates with a broker’s visit or to start a relaxed early-season cruise.

Many groups like the timing because it can combine short coastal hops with shore plans in Sanremo, Monaco, and the nearby French Riviera, making it an easy launch point for an Italy yacht charter.

How to Experience MYBA Charter Show 2027 From a Yacht

The MYBA Charter Show is a dockside, trade-only event reserved for brokers, central agents, and industry professionals, so it’s not something you “watch” from the water in a meaningful way. The smoothest set-up is to treat your yacht as a private base for the week, then organize any marina access and scheduled appointments through your broker or charter manager, with shore transfers planned around the show timetable.

• Best base for MYBA Charter Show 2027: Portosole Marina (if you have a confirmed berth and permissions), or a nearby port with easy transfers.
• Arrival plan: Aim to arrive the day before your first meetings so you can settle in and avoid peak traffic into the marina area.
• Transfers: Pre-book a driver for marina drop-offs and pick-ups, and build buffer time for security checks and access procedures.
• Between-meeting reset: Use the yacht for lunch, downtime, and a quick coastal cruise, with a short hop to a sheltered bay when conditions allow.
• If your group is not attending the show: Cruise as normal and treat Sanremo as a day stop for dining, shopping, and coastal scenery rather than “watching” the event.

What to do Around the MYBA Charter Show 2027

The early-May timing is ideal for mixed groups, especially when only one or two guests have scheduled industry appointments. Sanremo and the wider Ligurian Riviera make it easy to balance meetings with simple coastal cruising, relaxed shore plans, and short transfers without overcomplicating the day.

Between-event ideas (daytime):

• Walk the seafront and gardens around central Sanremo
• Explore the old town lanes and viewpoints for a quick cultural hit
• Plan a short cruise west toward Ventimiglia for a quieter feel
• Head east for a change of pace toward Imperia and small fishing harbors
• Day trip by car to Monaco or Menton for galleries, cafes, and people-watching
• Set aside time for a spring swim stop if the weather window is calm
• Use the yacht as a floating base for a light itinerary without constant packing and unpacking

Evening ideas:

• Early dinner on board, then a late stroll along the marina promenade
• A restaurant night in Sanremo focused on simple Ligurian seafood
• Cocktails in town, keeping timing flexible for next-day departures
