The 32nd edition of one of the reference and most important events for international boating has been officially canceled.
The MYBA Charter Show 2021 was in fact supposed to take place from 26 to 29 April in Barcelona but, due to the restrictions due to the pandemic, it was definitely canceled and postponed until next year.
The organizer’s declaration
MYBA does not hide the great disappointment of not being able to guarantee the smooth running of the event but relaunches the opportunity to involve the nautical community through virtual alternative events: “‘We are very disappointed that we will be unable to hold this event which provides exceptional networking opportunities, showcases our industry’s finest and generates solid business but we know it’s the right decision based on the information we have today. In place of the in-person event, MYBA together with Marina Port Vell is already exploring alternative ways to engage the superyacht community and move forward ‘.
Where was it supposed to take place?
The exhibition, as well as in 2019 (31st and last edition so far) should have taken place at the OneOcean Port Vell marina in Barcelona.
OneOcean Port Vell is one of the largest and most sought-after marinas in Spain and the Mediterranean Sea and is the perfect place to host this kind of event.
In fact, it offers 241 berths with a maximum length of up to 190 meters and a maximum draft of 9 meters.
This marina was included in the urban renewal program implemented before the Barcelona Olympics in 1992 and today represents a tourist attraction that receives more than 15 million people every year. It is home to many superyachts and ships, and boat owners are welcome to enjoy the 5-star facilities the property can guarantee.
Finally, it offers easy access to the city and its main tourist attractions.
What does the MYBA Charter Show represent?
The MYBA Charter Show is a professional business to business fair aimed at the world of yachting and is one of the best opportunities to bring together the main sector professionals giving them the opportunity to evaluate some of the best yachts on the market and available for charter, meet captains and crew and explore all the news in terms of boat services. That’s why this annual event is therefore certainly considered one of the most important in Mediterranean yachting.
Other events, unfortunately, risk the same fate
As it happened during the year 2020, this year too opened under the events cancellation or postponement related to the world of yachting.
The MYBA Charter Show cancellation is therefore added to a list that we hope will end as soon as possible.
This is also the hope of another important exhibition, the Palma Superyacht Show, which was recently confirmed but postponed. It will be held from 3 to 6 of next June indeed (originally scheduled from April 30th to May 3th 2021).
The organizers say they are optimistic about this, considering the opening, in the same period, of most of the hotels on the island of Mallorca and the beginning of tourism in the Balearics.
MYBA Show – Appointment to 2022
All expectations are therefore focused on the 2022 event which will surely welcome an exceptional selection of luxury boats including motorized yachts, monohull sailboats, catamarans, and more.
As always, show and entertainment events will be organized within the exhibition, such as the competition between Chefs, who compete with delicious dishes, and that between on-board hostesses.
All events, held both in and around OneOcean Port Vell, will be designed to facilitate networking, facilitate the knowledge of new business partners and promote view exchanges.
