A milestone event returns to Nafplio
From 3rd to 7th May 2025, the world’s largest crewed yacht charter show returns to Nafplio for its landmark 10th milestone event.
Organised by the Greek Yachting Association, the Mediterranean Yacht Show (MEDYS) has evolved into a global benchmark for luxury yachting, shining a spotlight on Greece’s premier maritime offerings. As it enters its second decade, the show continues to solidify its position as the most significant event of its kind, celebrating Greece’s leadership in the Eastern Mediterranean yachting scene.
Since 2016, Travelworks has been contributing to the MEDYS journey and witnessing the show’s growth into a world-class event and supporting its narrative over the years has been an extraordinary honour.

Setting sail for another year
Following the successful 9th edition, this year’s event comes with even higher expectations, building on the momentum of a record-breaking 2024 showcase that hosted 102 luxury crewed yachts in an impressive fleet with a combined length of 3.9 kilometres. The event welcomed 760 international yachting professionals from 30 countries, while a growing waiting list and last-minute charter bookings underlined the increasing global demand.
Participation in the show is exclusive to vessels over 24 metres in length, ensuring a premium experience for attending brokers and industry insiders. From the finest yachts to world-class exhibitors, the show consistently sets the bar for excellence in marine tourism.
A showcase of luxury, connection, and innovation
Beyond the showcase of yachts, MEDYS serves as a critical platform for networking and collaboration between central agents, brokers, and companies offering high-end products and services for the yachting sector. The scenic harbour of Nafplio, paired with Greece’s renowned hospitality, provides the ideal backdrop for meaningful engagement and enduring partnerships.
Among the most anticipated events is the prestigious Chefs’ Competition, a culinary highlight where talented yacht chefs present their creations to a panel of internationally celebrated judges. This contest has become a cornerstone of the show’s programming, reflecting the artistry and detail that define luxury yacht life.

Charting a course for Nafplio, 2025
With expectations running high, the 2025 edition of MEDYS promises to elevate the experience even further, welcoming visitors from across the globe for five days of discovery, dialogue, and distinction. As always, the event will blend the elegance of luxury yachts with the spirit of Greek hospitality, continuing to define what it means to charter in the Mediterranean.
