What’s on at the show?
The show will have an excellent selection of charter yachts in attendance, ready for inspections from charter brokers and press, crew interviews and for non-exhibiting vendors to go boat to boat introducing their product or service. It provides the ideal opportunity for members of the yachting industry to network and discover what’s on offer and to secure the best services for their yachts or clients.
The event schedule includes:
Captain’s Briefing
The Captain of each yacht should attend the yacht registration and Captain's Briefing for final instructions. This will be held on 4th December 2024 at 12.30pm. Captains should then brief their crew on how the show runs.
Concours de Chef
All yacht chefs and crew are invited to showcase their creative talent by taking part in our Concours de Chef culinary and tablescaping competition, which will focus on the guest charter experience. It’s the ideal opportunity for each yacht to showcase what they offer their guests. The competition will be made up of a number of size categories including yachts 160ft and over, 126-159ft, and 125ft and under. There will be a theme that contestants will need to follow and use as a focus for their courses - this will be announced in the near future. Read more about how the competition works, discover the results of last year’s competition, and check out our fantastic photo gallery!
Yacht viewings
Brokers, vendors and press will have the opportunity to view the yachts daily from 9.30am-12.30pm and 1.30pm-5.30pm from the 5th to the 8th December. This gives Captains the chance to showcase their offering to those who will be promoting charter yachts to others.

I’m a broker / vendor / press - what extras will I be offered?
-
Brokers and press will be given yacht tours and will be able to interview crew whilst onboard.
-
Brokers and press are invited to all open house evening yacht hops. It is at the yacht's discretion as to whether non-exhibiting vendors are invited to these events, please ask the yachts if you wish to attend and are not a broker.
-
Priority is always given to the brokers. Non-exhibiting vendors will not be offered a tour, they will work around the brokers and must ask to meet the captain, chef, engineer or crew member they want to see to introduce their product.
