The East Med Multihull and Yacht Charter Show (EMMYS) is a key trade-only event in the Greek yachting calendar which involves many of the services connected to the luxury yachting industry.
Previously known as the Poros Yacht Charter Show, the East Med Multihull and Yacht Charter Show relocated from the island of Poros to the new location of Marina Zea in Piraeus in 2016, before returning to the captivating island and Poros Port, where the show continues today.
Organized by the Hellenic Yacht Brokers Association (HYBA) and the Hellenic Professional Yacht Owners Association (HPYOA) - the two key associations of the Hellenic Yachting Industry - the East Med Multihull and Yacht Charter Show promises to showcase some of the finest motor yacht charters available in the fleet of Mediterranean yacht charters.
The harbor itself becomes a hive activity throughout the show with a wide variety of activities available to every visiting broker and industry professional
Charter brokers and other industry professionals are invited to view the attending fleet of gleaming motor yachts, sailing yachts, and catamaran yacht charters, along with the chance to meet with the associated captains and crews, ensuring they are better equipped to help match their prospective clients with their dream luxury charter yacht for the upcoming season.
The annual yacht show aims to promote local yacht charter tourism, services offered by Greece yacht charters, and improve Greece’s position and visibility as a popular yacht charter destination.
With the event primarily focusing on multihull yachts for charter, renowned for their spacious layouts and stability, visitors to the show have exclusive access to view them up close, in addition to an ever-growing collection of monohull motor and sailing yacht charters, catering to varied preferences within the yachting community.
Notable shipyards and brands that have been represented at the event since its inaugural edition include Sunreef Yachts, Riva, Lagoon, and Ferretti Yachts. Each year the selection of shipyards increases, with some of the latest editions hosting distinct exhibitors, reflecting the event's significance in the region.
Some of the captivating charter yachts to have attended EMMYS in recent years include 98.5ft (30m) yacht rental ELENA and 183.9ft (56.01m) superyacht charter O'NATALINA who made her show debuts in 2018, and 85.4ft (26m) luxury yacht charter MYTHOS G.
