PortoSole Sanremo will once again host the MYBA Charter Show in 2026. The news, officially released by MYBA – The Worldwide Yachting Association – has been met with great enthusiasm by the international luxury charter community. Thanks to the signing of a three-year agreement between MYBA and PortoSole, the prestigious show – a key international event for brokers, captains and professionals in the industry – will continue to take place in the picturesque setting of the Italian Riviera at least until 2028.
Following the extraordinary success of the 2025 edition – described as one of the most memorable in the Show’s long history – confirming Sanremo as the official venue was a natural choice. The quality of the location, the efficiency of the organisation, and the vibrant atmosphere that pervaded the entire event all contributed to an edition that left a lasting impression. From the yachts on display to the footfall, competitions, and side events, every element came together to create a truly outstanding Show, widely recognised and appreciated by exhibitors and visitors alike.
MYBA President Raphael Sauleau highlighted the strategic value of this continuity, stating: “The MYBA Charter Show is more than just an event. It reflects the core values of our industry: professionalism, collaboration, and excellence. Following the success of the 2025 edition, we are pleased to confirm that the Show will return to PortoSole Sanremo in April 2026. This ongoing partnership strengthens the bond between MYBA and the city of Sanremo, and we are confident that together we will continue to raise the bar for what a charter show can offer.”
Gunes Aysun, Chair of the MYBA Charter Show Panel, also expressed her enthusiasm: “After such a successful 2025 edition, we are excited to return to the beautiful marina of PortoSole and to build on the momentum of the 35th MYBA Charter Show. I would like to thank the PortoSole team for their strong support and collaboration, and I look forward to welcoming our industry colleagues to another outstanding event in this stunning setting.”
The satisfaction is shared by the hosts as well. Giorgio Casareto, General Manager of PortoSole Sanremo, proudly commented: “Welcoming the MYBA Charter Show back to PortoSole is a great source of pride for us, and it confirms the quality of our services and hospitality. The success of the last edition was no coincidence, but the result of true teamwork and the constant dedication of our team and local partners. This important three-year agreement rewards our ongoing commitment to delivering the highest standards of service and guest experience, and it motivates us to continue growing the event. Together with MYBA, we aim to establish Sanremo as a key destination in the Mediterranean for the luxury charter industry, offering an increasingly prestigious and innovative event that also promotes the value of our region.”
With such strong foundations, the 2026 MYBA Charter Show is ready not only to match but to exceed previous successes. Its focus will remain on delivering an exceptional experience for exhibitors and visitors alike, ensuring excellence in organisation and showcasing a destination that blends glamour, port efficiency, and international appeal. The goal is clear: to grow further, inspired by innovation and collaboration.
