Yachts attending the Mediterranean Yacht Show 2024

We take a look at yachts attending this eighth edition of the world's largest crewed yacht charter show, which is returning to Greece this year. 

The largest yachts attending MEDYS 2024

Held from the 2nd to 6th May on the island of Nafplio, Greece, the second edition of the Mediterranean Yacht Show was an unprecedented success. A total of 67 crewed yachts were present at the event, as well as 242 yacht brokers from all over the world, and 17 stands featuring yachting services and supplies. SuperYacht Times’ Maarten Janssen was present at the Show, where he spoke to Spiros Galanakis, Managing Director of Athens Yachts, who talked about his impression of this years Show.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154225/image/large-eefbd91c3f8ec829835d9b74ffc29c58.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154225">Clearly one of the biggest periods of change in any show’s lifetime is the preliminary years, learning from challenges as well as successes in order to prove the validity of the event. The Mediterranean Yacht Show is no different, and as Mr Galanakis told us, he is happy with the second edition of the show, though notes that there is always room for improvement. He says, “I am really pleased to inform that things are very clear now. This show is only for central agency yachts, and we have an impressive fleet to exhibit. Today this is a luxury yacht show only for yachts from 70 foot onwards up to 170. I think the standards have risen up to West Mediterranean standards. We’re really glad the quality and service has been upgared, but there is always room for improvement. We’re getting there by doing our best for a mutual goal and objective.”<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154226/image/large-c5949df184dd500eac4623398ee15707.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154226">A potential area for improvement could be found in the fact that the vast majority of boats at the show are Greek flagged. SYT asked Mr Galanakis if organisers plan on opening up more in the future to foreign flagged boats, he says, “I really don’t know. We have some foreign flag yachts exhibiting at the show that are registered, and also in my fleet we have a couple of yachts that are foreign flagged.” He continues to state that although 90% of the boats at this year’s show are Greek, this isn’t a reflection upon a localised mindset of keeping the area purely Greek. He says, “We’re open…What we want is that guests will be coming over, having fun and enjoying the area. We need yachts to come over - that is what we’re looking for. Good and clean business. We’re not sceptical if it’s not a Greek flag, we just need the business coming in.”<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154227/image/large-002f11bee2558c2b959033c3d7dd5005.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154227">Continuing to discuss the establishment of the show and it’s departure from the East Med Yacht Show held annually in Poros, Mr Galanakis says, “Back in the day in Poros it was a good show, and everybody has great memories of it, but at some stage we had to separate because things were a bit complicated. We could not advertise a 140 ft yacht next to a very small boat or a RIB. If you’re looking for small boats or bare boats or Ribs, of course you can go to the other show…it is not bad to do that, just a different market… But if you’re looking for central agency yachts with MYBA members and very experienced brokers, you have to come to Nafplio. That’s what we’re selling here.”<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154228/image/large-5b105beeaa427bf7abf7852755f19edd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154228">Speaking of the yachts on show, Athens Yachts brought nine of their 14 strong fleet to Nafplio. He says, “I’m always trying to bring new yachts into the market. I’m working very hard on that. Last year we had the addition of AQUA to our fleet - an impressive aluminium 40 metre Admiral - this year we have MY TOY which is the unique AB140 in the market, she is in excellent shape. So far she has had a lot of bookings, so we’re very happy. We also had Endless Summer this year new in the market after her total $2,000,000 refit.”In terms of the future of Athens Yachts, Mr Galanakis concludes that his intention is, of course, to expand and grow. He states, "The only thing I care to maintain is Quality Vs Quantity. I am really looking forward to expand my business but never lose my identity as always having a nice &amp; clean fleet with great crew’s!"By Maarten Janssen &amp; Gemma Fottles

A superyacht's name is often a good first indication of what might be expected during a stay onboard. As such, superyacht Dragon offers an intriguing introduction to what she is all about, evoking exciting visions of top performances combined with a traditional ambiance. With an LOA just shy of 37 metres, this superbly sportive superyacht was built by Couach Yachts and launched in 2009. Although unmistakably modern, she boasts a contemporary design with a lush veneer of subtly exotic ambiance. Since this vessel is ready to supply her guests with a sumptuous trip to the evocative Greek islands, romantic Turkey and all other exciting Mediterranean destinations, a closer inspection of all the great things she has to offer seems to be in order.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/144754/image/large-93b65b1f39a020650f6cd4e139479f8f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/144754"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/144755/image/large-dc6c7cdd4365e0c6e66d400104d4f322.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/144755"><div style="display: none; text-align: center;"> </div><object class="BrightcoveExperience" id="myExperience2422608708001"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">

<param name="@videoPlayer" value="2422608708001"></object>First off, there is her appealing exterior look, which presents her as an exciting and sportive vessel. A silver hull, crisp white superstructure and smoothly curved lines, along with her sharp silhouette, show that speed and performance are some of Dragon's primary qualities. But there is much more than meets the eye. Upon boarding, she presents an atmosphere of intimate, modern and chic hospitality. With a design that can be aptly described as light and warm, Dragon's interior style combines ample luxurious wood for cabinetry, flooring and paneling with off-white and creams for walls, ceilings and upholstery. This results in a design that feels rich, elegant and natural, all framed with ample natural light and a subtle lighting scheme based on indirect LED lighting. Luxury materials are applied subtly, making Dragon offer great warmth and style without becoming overly abundant. Her design scheme is consistently applied throughout all guest areas, with an overall sense of tranquillity and a subtly exotic vibe.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/144756/image/large-5fedbfcd75d0a7947ce613b1dfc26be6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/144756"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/144757/image/large-394b9c9dd8384b6b4aa713b57998d0ee.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/144757"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/144758/image/large-e7754a56bbf8d47551d82ac0f01813d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/144758">Dragon welcomes everybody onboard in style, yet for a fulfilling, relaxing and satisfying charter experience there is so much more she has to offer. First off, guests cabins accommodate a party of up to 14 guests. There is the spacious full beam master suite, with kingsize bed and walk-in wardrobe, two large VIP suites with queensize beds, and two twins, each with an additional Pullman berth.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/144759/image/large-7af3d3d1e186c92f07689264ef279a96.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/144759">Each guest suite has ample storage space and is located on the lower deck. All suites have luxury en suites with shower areas, with the master en suite offering a big Jacuzzi as extra luxury.

Charter Special: Chartering superyacht Dragon in Greece

At the recent East Med Yacht Show I met up with Spiros Galanakis, the managing director of ATHENS YACHTS. Spiros founded his company in 1995 and he nowadays manages a fleet of numerous luxurious charter yachts which includes the 41 metre superyacht Panther 2 and the 36 metre superyacht Dragon.<div style="display: none; text-align: center;"> </div><object class="BrightcoveExperience" id="myExperience2413910380001"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">

<param name="@videoPlayer" value="2413910380001"></object>However this was very different in the past as Spiros explains, ”Back in the years there were no central agencies agreements between the owners and charter companies, it was an open market and everyone could charter yachts with using their favourite connections. This has changed in the last few years when more companies started to work with the central agency model"."Proudly speaking we were the first Greek company to become a MYBA member and among the first who established the Central Agency model. Now we also see newer and larger yachts entering the Greek charter market, but also the crew(s) has improved a lot.”<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/144750/image/large-fb19227974c9403b97595e01af431524.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/144750">Speaking about his ambitions with Athens Yachts, Spiros tells me, Quality Vs Quantity…“I like expansion, improvement and growth but our policy has always been that we are a “boutique company” with some of the best charter yachts in Greece. We want more yachts but we will only take the best…We want quality CA’s and not a large number of anonymous fleet".<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/144751/image/large-b33981a1249442b37b5474bf79af0064.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/144751">According to Spiros the East Med Yacht Show, formerly known as the Poros Yacht Charter Show, is improving compared to past years. “We have changed the name of the event as we wanted to give it a more international appeal. We are open to changes and ready to welcome anyone who has high yachting criteria. The 2013 edition was a good event for us and we are looking forward to a busy charter season”.Athens Yachts Spiros Galanakis +30 210 9836 918 <a href="mailto:charter@athensyachts.gr?subject=Article%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">charter@athensyachts.gr</a> <a href="http://www.athensyachts.gr/" target="_blank">www.athensyachts.gr</a> By Merijn de Waard

Interview with Spiros Galanakis of Athens Yachts

When chartering a superyacht, there are several key ingredients that need to be spot on every single time, in order for all guests to have a perfect stay onboard. Impeccable service, a mouthwatering culinary programme, great onboard style and a wide array of amenities are just some of the many facets that turns a good charter into a great one. Panther II checks all these boxes, making her a perfect choice for any charter in the versatile eastern Mediterranean.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/144587/image/large-d2561f9f5d284ca443a9a907708e22ec.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/144587">As her name might suggest, this Mondo Marine superyacht boasts a personality that is sharp, sleek and powerful. Her exterior look is an attractive blend of shapes and curves, forming a vessel that simply owns the waves with her modern finesse. With a light blue hull, crisp white superstructure and razor sharp silhouette, Panther II is impeccably sportive yet surprisingly different. <div style="display: none; text-align: center;"> </div><object class="BrightcoveExperience" id="myExperience2413910380001"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
