Yachting
Yachts set sail for Montenegro pop-up show


Twenty-one yachts and 90 brokers and agents will be present at the second edition of the MYBA Pop-Up Superyacht Show, which will be held next month in Porto Montenegro.

The owners and captains of some of the most luxurious superyachts in the broader Mediterranean region have confirmed their attendance at the event which will run from September 2 to 4 at the luxury yacht marina located in the Bay of Kotor in Tivat, Montenegro.

The list of yachts includes the elegant Lord of the Seas which was built in 2013 by Egeria Yachts (58 m), the luxurious Philip Zepter yacht JoyMe (49.91 m), the steel Sanlorenzo Reve D'Or (46 m) and the traditional gulet Daima (42.5 m). 

With more than 90 brokers and agents already registered, the event promises to be an even bigger success than the inaugural show that was held in 2015, according to the organisers.

The MYBA Pop-Up Superyacht Show is billed as the only B2B event of its kind in the region, held in partnership with MYBA The Worldwide Yachting Association. 

During the past few years, Porto Montenegro has become a leading homeport for superyachts and a luxurious nautical resort in the Mediterranean.

With a capacity of over 450 berths, 127 of which are suitable for superyachts, the destination is a yachting playground that MYBA considers important to showcase.

Fiona Maureso, President of MYBA, explains: “The MYBA Pop-Up Superyacht Show is a unique combination. It is foremost a sales and charter show but at the same time it provides an excellent opportunity for brokers to discover a destination that they may not yet be familiar with. Being a pop-up, it is also less formal and the atmosphere always remains relaxed within the marina village. With a yacht club, restaurants and bars, high-end shopping and a five star hotel, there is no end to the attractions to be found. And that is even before one explores the stunning surrounding areas.”

This industry-only event offers networking opportunities through interesting and engaging social events, while the seminar programme aims to provide participants with what they need – concrete and clear information on the chartering opportunities of the region. Seminars will address issues such as the cruising grounds of Montenegro and Croatia, tax and legislation rules of chartering as well as tax-free importing in Montenegro.

The show is open to all MYBA-qualified yachts that are over 20 m, charter agents and brokers.
