TOP STORY

What to expect at TYBA Yacht Charter Show 🇹🇷

⚓️ The fifth TYBA Yacht Charter Show will take place from 3 to 7 May 2024 at the renowned D-Marin Marina in Göcek, Turkey.

The event, which celebrates the ever-growing Turkish yachting scene, gives industry professionals the opportunity to visit a diverse range of luxury yachts available to charter in Turkey and beyond.

H. Serhan Cengiz, TYBA Vice President and the Chair of the Yacht Charter Show Committee, told us, “TYBA Yacht Charter Show, for many years to come, will be the event for Turkish and East Mediterranean yachting.”

He continued, “Being one of the youngest yacht shows in the world, TYBA Yacht Charter Show has filled an important gap in showcasing selected yachts operating along the Turquoise coast of Turkey and the neighbouring waters and providing valuable networking opportunities to industry professionals.”

The list of attendees is made up of visitors from the global yachting community, including charter brokers, media and crew. The show’s yacht exhibition is set to boast a diversity of vessels available for viewing.

At present, 51 yachts are signed up for exhibition at this year’s show, from traditional Turkish wooden gulets to modern motor yachts and sailing yachts.

Attendees can expect to see an impressive fleet of yachts, along with their skilled crews, awaiting to showcase their talents and capabilities.

This year, the yacht lineup includes the 42.6m CRN motor yacht Lady I, the 47m Turk Yacht sailing yacht North Wind and the custom 42.3m sailing yacht Son of Wind.

TYBA’s organisers predict that last year’s 350 industry professional attendees will be exceeded, welcoming professionals from worldwide yachting companies and brokerage houses. 🗺

H. Serhan Cengiz explained, “TYBA brings together local central agents and brokers from all over the world, rotating locations every 3-4 years to different towns along the Turquoise Coast, introducing different marinas and beautiful parts of the country to its visitors.”

Visitors can also expect an exciting schedule, featuring numerous networking events, the Chef’s Competition featuring extraordinary Turkish dishes with a modern twist and the Cocktail Competition.

Additionally, a selection of insightful seminars led by industry experts will be held, covering topics including:

• TYBA Contract and Commercial Yacht Charter Regulations

• The coastal routes of Turkey, from Karia via Lycia to Phamphylia

• Sustainability in gastronomy

• The legal aspects of safeguarding guest privacy in the charter yacht industry, from both Turkish and GDPR perspectives

• Crisis management in chartering

• The rich history of Turkish yacht building

“I believe TYBA Yacht Charter Show will continue to be the most important yachting event in Turkey and the East Mediterranean for many years to come,” H. Serhan Cengiz told us. Find out more about TYBA here.

DESTINATION SPOTLIGHT

Travel Inspiration: Monaco 🇲🇨

🌟 Despite its status as a microstate, there is nothing micro about Monaco. A sovereign state nestled on the French Riviera close to Italy, Monaco boasts a unique, powerful identity.

Known for glitz and glamour, Monaco is the epitome of luxury, playing host to a vibrant yachting scene which welcomes guests into an opulent paradise.

The state is ruled over by the Royal Family of Monaco - The House of Grimaldi - who have reigned over Monaco for centuries. 🌅

🛥 As one of the world's most famous tax havens, Monaco attracts new residents and businesses from around the globe to benefit from its financial privacy laws, taxation incentives, and favourable personal and corporate tax rules.

A time-old yachting hotspot, Monaco spoils its visitors with a host of notable attractions perfectly accessible to superyacht guests. Enjoy a playground of ritzy bars and a thriving restaurant scene boasting numerous world-renowned Michelin-star eateries. 🇲🇨

Monte Carlo’s city streets are bustling with luxury shops, enticing visitors into the so-called Golden Circle of the world's most exclusive brands, where stellar customer service is guaranteed. 🌊

Away from all things lavish, Monaco’s ideal positioning on the Côte d’Azur makes it naturally beautiful to the eye. Allow yourself to bask in the principality’s enchanting views: at noon, the water gleams in a rich blue hue and invites viewers to enjoy breathtaking views of the French Riviera.

Take a second to admire the vista in the evening, and let your eyes be spoiled by amber sunsets and a twinkling cityscape buzzing with life.
