G reece becomes once again the meeting point of global yachting, as the 5th Panhellenic Yachting Congress looks toward international collaborations, new investments, and the industry’s next decade.
Greece welcomes the 5th Panhellenic Yachting Congress on 26 and 27 February 2026, opening a new chapter for maritime tourism and the country’s yachting ecosystem. With a clear focus on international outreach, innovation, and sustainable development, this year’s congress brings together leading professionals, organizations, and strategic partners from Greece and abroad – confirming once again its role as the most important annual forum for dialogue and cooperation in the industry.
As a well-established institution, the congress has quickly evolved into the prime point of reference for companies, captains, charter brokers, shipbuilders, marinas, and public bodies, offering a rare platform for knowledge exchange and strategic networking. The 2026 edition broadens its horizons, addressing a global audience and inviting internationally recognized speakers, aiming to foster synergies, attract new investments, and promote Greece as a key player in the international yachting arena.
The first day explores regulation, infrastructure, financing tools, and the technological revolution transforming yachting – from risk management to the emergence of new digital models. The second day turns to the Eastern Mediterranean, professional charters, maritime education, Generation Z, wellness services, and the rise of holistic yacht design. A wide selection of discussions, panels, and presentations forms the thematic programme of this year’s agenda, reflecting the sector’s multifaceted evolution.
A comprehensive printed newspaper dedicated to the congress will be released in early December 2025 and distributed across Attica’s marinas, concluding its circulation at the Athens International Boat Show, a strategic partner of the event.
