T he Mediterranean Yacht Show 2026 returns with one of its most compelling fleets to date, bringing together a refined mix of newly delivered superyachts, major refits and proven charter favourites. As one of the most important charter shows globally, MEDYS once again sets the tone for the season ahead, with Greece firmly at the centre of the experience.
A Fleet That Defines the Season
This year’s lineup reflects a clear shift towards space, light and contemporary living at sea.
Among the highlights, the 60m O’MADELEINE by Golden Yachts arrives as one of the newest additions to the global charter fleet, combining sharp exterior architecture with soft, natural interiors. Equally impressive, Persefoni I delivers a more minimal, design-led experience, enhanced by expansive volumes and seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
At the top end, iconic names such as KOGO and the Benetti-built AELIA reinforce the scale and prestige of the show, while yachts like MARLA and AKIRA ONE, both recently refitted, underline a growing focus on renewal and upgraded onboard experience.
More Than Size: The New Charter Mindset
MEDYS 2026 is not defined only by large yachts, but by diversity and versatility.
From sailing yachts like GITANA to family-oriented options such as OAK, and high-performance motor yachts designed for both comfort and social living, the fleet reflects the evolving expectations of today’s charter guests. Flexibility, privacy and experiential design are now as important as pure scale.
The presence of multiple freshly refitted yachts also signals a competitive charter market, where detail, aesthetics and onboard lifestyle play a decisive role.
The MEDYS Experience
Beyond the yachts, MEDYS remains a unique industry platform.
Held in Greece, it combines high-level networking with an atmosphere that is both relaxed and deeply professional. Brokers, charter managers and crews don’t just view yachts, they experience them in real conditions, creating a more authentic understanding of each vessel.
It is precisely this balance that continues to elevate MEDYS year after year, strengthening its position as a key reference point in the global yachting calendar.
