A Boatbookings Insight to the MYBA Charter Show in Genoa

The prestigious MYBA Charter Show, one of the yacht charter industry’s leading events, will return to Genoa, Italy, from April 22 to 25. Hosted at the iconic Marina Molo Vecchio, this 34th edition promises to celebrate the latest advancements and innovations in yachting. 

Celebrating its 40th anniversary, the show’s return to Genoa after a five-year stint in Barcelona is a significant milestone. Building upon the successful implementation of various green initiatives last year, the 2024 edition is poised to solidify MYBA’s commitment to environmental sustainability further.  

With an impressive lineup of approximately 400 exhibitors, 500 brokers, 60 yachts over 30-meters, and 300 crew, the show offers a platform for yacht charter professionals, brokers, managers, and owners to connect, collaborate, and explore the industry’s developments. This year, the show will also continue its much-loved Chefs Competition, where superyacht chefs will showcase their talents to an Italian fusion dinner party theme. 

Showing up for Sustainability 

One of the oldest and most respected events in the yachting calendar, the MYBA Charter Show has embraced sustainability as a core value. Last year’s edition implemented various eco-friendly practices. These included the use of recycled materials for promotional material and an effort to reduce energy consumption. This year’s show promises to build upon these initiatives. 

A Spotlight on the Yachts

A highlight of the year is the impressive lineup of charter yachts. Each year, we see a rise in the number of greener crewed charter yachts on the market, thanks to advancements in green technology. 

Among the yachts at this year’s show is the newly launched Otoctone. The Sunreef 80 catamaran is part of the Eco series. Boatbookings is proud to showcase this remarkable yacht. It is fitted with Sunreef’s solar power system, featuring solar panels integrated into the composite structure. Otoctone is a testament to the industry’s commitment to reducing its environmental footprint. 

When under sail, the yacht also boasts an advanced hydrogeneration system, allowing for the continuous production of green energy. Capable of accommodating up to 9 guests, Otoctone is the perfect choice for a Mediterranean charter this summer. Following its appearance at the MYBA Charter Show, the yacht will be available for charters in Sardinia and Corsica. It will also be available for the iconic America’s Cup in Barcelona.

52nd Genoa International Boat Show

The countdown to the 52nd Genoa International Boat Show has begun. With more than 1,400 boats on show over the coming week, this year’s event promises to be bigger than ever. The Show is organised by Fiera di Genova SpA and UCINA (Italy’s professional association of the yachting industry) and is set on a 200,000 square-metre exhibition area that includes parts of the old town and port of Genoa.Screen-Shot-2012-10-04-at-16.13.58Due to Genoa’s prominence in the ship and yacht building industry, and the popularity of nautical tourism along the Italian Riviera, the 1st International Boat Show took place in January 1962. With more than 300,000 visitors that year, it was an instant success and has continued to draw huge crowds ever since. This year’s Boat Show will offer a wide range of sea sport opportunities for younger visitors and features a wonderfully-planned itinerary that is devoted to Italian sea sport and local Genoese boat building traditions. The Show will be open every day next week (Saturday 6th – Sunday 14th October) and will feature a special entertainment programme for the public on its opening evening.

Visitors do not only marvel at the many yachts on show but can also browse through the many stands exhibited by more than 900 companies selling ship components, accessories, motors, electronics and water sports equipment.

One company that is ever-present in Genoa is the Azimut Benetti Group, who have always had a particularly strong relationship with the organisers of the Boat Show. Such is their relationship that this year Azimut Benetti will have the highest number of motor boats on show exceeding 10 metres.

Included among the 26 Azimut Benetti boats on show is the fantastic Azimut 62S. In 2007, the 62S was voted “Boat of the Year” by the British boating pressin for the over -45’ sport cruiser category, while she also won European Boat of the Year at the Dusseldorf Boat Show.

Boatbookings is lucky enough to have two of these luxury crewed motor yachts for charter in the beautiful island of Sardinia, just off the coast of Italy.
