The Standout Yachts of the Recent EMMYS Charter Show

Over 100 luxury crewed yachts were on display, including some of the most popular and prestigious sailing and power catamarans available for charter in Greece and the Mediterranean.

Multihulls are popular charter vessels for their abundance of living space, stability in all conditions, and ability to access even shallow anchorages where larger vessels may struggle. This is why catamarans are perfectly suited to the islands and inlets of the Med, allowing guests to spread out while on board and enjoy itineraries that include remote and unspoilt regions.

Not far from Athens and known as “the greenest island of the Argo-Saronic Gulf”, Poros has inspired authors and poets with its verdant hills, white sand beaches, charming historic towns, and of course, crystalline warm waters.

The LCG team inspected the variety of luxury charter yachts on show at the 2024 EMMYS, enjoying the hospitality of the crews as they conveyed the charter yachts’ unique attributes. This first-hand understanding of each yacht's crew, layout, amenities and features allows us to match your specific needs and preferences to the most suitable yacht, providing you with the personalised service that we pride ourselves on.

Among the highlights of the luxury charter yachts on show were:
