All Eyes on Nafplion: Why MEDYS 2025 Is the Mediterranean’s Can’t-Miss Yacht Showcase
Nafplion isn’t just hosting a yacht show—it’s hosting the future of charter
From May 3–7, 2025, the coastal jewel of Nafplion will become the pulse point of the luxury yacht world. The Mediterranean Yacht Show (MEDYS) returns with a lineup that promises more than just sleek hulls and glossy decks—it’s about who’s there, what’s changing, and where the industry is headed.
Set against the turquoise waters of the Argolic Gulf, MEDYS 2025 offers more than spectacle. It’s a strategic touchpoint—a place where brokers, captains, and brands converge, where alliances are formed dockside, and where the Mediterranean season quietly launches in full force.
The Location: A Port with Power
Whether you’re hopping off a private chopper from Athens or arriving by road just 90 minutes south, every step of the journey is designed for efficiency and style. VIP ground transfers, complimentary golf carts, and coordinated concierge services by the Greek Yachting Association ensure you arrive and move through the show effortlessly.
The Show: Not Just Boats—Big Business
More than 100 of the world’s most impressive crewed charter yachts will be on display, ranging from sleek sailing vessels to full-throttle superyachts. But this isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s where real deals are made. The charter calendar lives and breathes by MEDYS. If your yacht is here, it’s being seen. If you’re not, you’re playing catch-up.
With captains, chefs, brokers, and decision-makers all onsite, MEDYS functions as an immersive inspection, networking hub, and lifestyle preview rolled into one. Add in curated events, regional cuisine, and the unmatched backdrop of Greek island culture, and you’ve got a show that delivers experience as much as exposure.
Where to Stay: Curated Comfort
Nafplion may be boutique in size, but it’s bold in luxury. MEDYS attendees will find an array of handpicked accommodations, from intimate guest houses to high-end hotels—many offering exclusive rates for show participants. Rooms fill fast, so book early to secure proximity to the port and the after-hours energy.
