Genoa Charter Show 2013 Gearing Up

From 29 April to 3 May 2013, Genoa will host the 25^th edition of the MYBA Charter Show. This is one of the most important international exhibitions dedicated to Charter professionals and Superyachts.

In keeping with the tradition of the Show, a lively social programme will ensure everyone makes the best use of the potential for networking and the Show’s main Gala Event will be held once again at the magnificent Villa Lo Zerbino in Genoa.

This year we intend to mark our special occasion with the Show supporting three important charities connected in one form or another with the Show, past and present. The charities are:

The Encompass Trust - Seeking to bring young people together from different countries, cultures, faiths, ideologies and socio-economic backgrounds to understand each other more closely and to challenge hostility head on.

SNSM Antibes – A local charity, anyone requiring assistance using the waterways between the Alpes Maritimes coastline and Corsica will call upon the Antibes Lifeboat.

Sea Scouts Genoa – The “Settore Nautico”, Sea Scouts,  is a specialized segment of A.G.E.S.C.I., one of the Italian Scout Associations recognized by the WOSM (World Organization of the Scout Movements) and WAGGS (World Association of Girl Guides and Scouts).

This is an event not to be missed by yacht charter professionals, attended by the most prestigious Charter Agencies and Brokers globally. The exhibition is a select showcase for luxury charter yachts and the most exclusive display of ancillary services for the yachting industry. The MYBA Charter Show’s continued success is highlighted by the number and quality of attendees over the years.

This exhibition is owned by All Yachting SAS. The organisers, Pesto Sea Group s.r.l., guarantee an impeccably run show. The numerous events surrounding the Show and the splendid location in the Porto Antico (Ancient Harbour) of Genoa justify this event’s hard-won professional reputation.
