The annual Mediterranean Yacht Show, or MEDYS<\/a>, is an event where the season’s top yachts can display their excellent crews, indulgent menus, and refined layouts. Held in Nafplio, Greece<\/a>, charter brokers from all over the world attend. This year, Boatbookings team<\/a> member Ben visited the MEDYS and is excited to share the yachts that stood out the most!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chef Dimitri curates bespoke menus aboard the Benetti<\/a> Golden Bay 50m, JO I<\/a>. His meals feature modern interpretations of Greek flavors, such as the classic Gemista in the form of an Arancini. After winning second place in the 2024 culinary competition, Dimitri is aiming for number one this year! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exceptional Master Suite on FATSA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With an open-plan concept, foldable balconies, and sliding doors, the Sanlorenzo SD126, FATSA<\/a> stood out to Ben as the yacht with the most thoughtful layout. The saloon boasts flawlessly designed Italian furniture, as does the sky lounge and master suite – Ben declares it the “most stylish master bathroom on the Greek Seas!” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Exterior Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Showcasing the most phenomenal views of the Palamidi in Nafplio is the Mondomarine 50m, ZALIV III<\/a>. Ben noted this superyacht as having the standout sundeck and exterior spaces at the MEDYS. During your Mediterranean yacht charter, you can sip champagne in her luxurious jacuzzi as your captain cruises between idyllic anchorages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
