MYBA Charter Show 2026

Overview of the MYBA Charter Show 2026

The MYBA Charter Show 2026 is one of the Mediterranean’s key trade-only events, returning to PortoSole Marina in Sanremo, Italy, from 27-30 April 2026. It brings together charter brokers, central agents, and yacht crews for a focused programme of yacht inspections, onboard presentations, and professional networking ahead of the summer season, making it a practical bellwether for what clients will be booking across the Western Med.

For charter guests, a yacht charter for MYBA Charter Show 2026 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 2026 From a Yacht

The MYBA Charter Show is a dockside, trade-only event, 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 organise 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 2026: 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 2026

The late-April 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 harbours
• Day trip by car to Monaco or Menton for galleries, cafés, 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
