<a href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TYBA Yacht Charter Show - 2022">TYBA Yacht Charter Show</a> is a wrap – and what an event it was. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TYBA Yacht Charter Show (Company)">Turkey’s Yachting &amp; Brokers Association</a> (<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TYBA Yacht Charter Show (Company)">TYBA</a>) worked in cooperation with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4263" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="D-Marin Göcek (Company)">Göcek D-Marin</a>, to ensure that this newly picked location ran smoothly between 6-10th of May. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/226282/image/large-5428863f805a50246ed2d96ed8a8d3b9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/226282">Many brokers and attendees had made their rounds earlier in the year: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1334" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MYBA Charter Show - 2022">MYBA Charter Show</a>, in Barcelona, followed by the <a href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mediterranean Yacht Show - 2022">Mediterranean Yacht Show</a> in Nafplio, Greece. To smooth the transition from show to show, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TYBA Yacht Charter Show (Company)">TYBA</a> organised a transfer from Athens to Dalaman. The charter plane cut out all nonsense, as it saved the hassle of transferring in Istanbul and getting multiple flights. It was also offered at a reduced cost – €150 per person. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/226276/image/large-1166ad9078ad52884cb81832ab156523.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/226276">The event itself was a roaring success and the newly located site in Göcek played a key role in this. As a destination, it’s gorgeous. It also benefits from having a town a walking distance from the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4263" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="D-Marin Göcek (Company)">D-Marin</a>, the marina that hosted the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TYBA Yacht Charter Show (Company)">TYBA Yacht Charter Show</a>, meaning that participants and guests could easily get to and from the show. It also meant that some great restaurants were easy to reach. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/91235/image/large-8f39c79a964b7a6d15fc4c3f4e0994b5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/91235"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/91356/image/large-fc928314dd19d3dd903c91feaa4d5893.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/91356">With 56 yachts in attendance, the jetty was teeming with life.

Each morning seminars were held at the D-Resort Conference Hall in the town centre. The talks covered a range of themes; but a unifying theme was Turkey as destination. Dr. Nesimi Ozan Veryeri from the WWF was invited to discuss the importance of responsible anchorage, highlighting the environmental, social and economic impact that is inevitable if we don’t protect Persedonia; seagrass native in the Mediterranean. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/226280/image/large-cfa34247c8fc1c9fa9f7189c59de4851.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/226280">Serhan Cengiz, Managing Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6712" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vela Dare Yachts (Company)">Vela Dare Yachting</a> and Committee President of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TYBA Yacht Charter Show (Company)">TYBA</a>, took the stand the following day, and shared his knowledge of the culturally rich coastline of Turkey. From well-preserved archeological sites through to idyllic inlets and coastal towns – Cengiz had a long list of destinations that he recommends charter guests to visit. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/227480/image/large-a149956b52387f795e4280457ca3345e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/227480"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/227481/image/large-1debd3156c80812e555752f02a6b60aa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/227481">Another standout event of the show was the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TYBA Yacht Charter Show (Company)">TYBA</a> Chef’s Competition. The challenge was to create a four course meal for a jury of three judges from a “mystery box” of ingredients, supplied by Carrefour. Each kitchen had two hours to prepare the meal. Chef Zafer Asci, from the 20.5-metre motor yacht Sirocco, was awarded first prize.&nbsp;Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/55147" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gulets & superyachts: The diversity of chartering in Turkey (2022-05-17 13:45:00 +0200)">Gulets &amp; superyachts: The diversity of chartering in Turkey</a>Every evening different events and parties were held onboard a number of participating yachts.

The Third TYBA Yacht Charter Show ended on a high

TYBA Yacht Charter Show is a wrap – and what an event it was. TYBA worked hard to ensure the event smoothly between 6-10th of May.
