Our Selection of the Yachts at the 2024 MYBA Charter Show in Genoa, Italy

At Luxury Charter Group, we believe that attending these prestigious shows isn't just about admiring beautiful yachts—it's about gaining invaluable insights to better serve you, our clients. So once again we were there getting to know the Captains and Crews to uncover the special features that make each yacht truly exceptional. We examine every detail, from the layout and amenities to the expertise of the crew.

Why? Because we're committed to providing you with nothing but the best. By attending these shows, we gain firsthand knowledge of the latest trends, innovations, and offerings in the yachting world. This allows us to tailor our recommendations and advice to match you with your ideal charter yacht experience – from the cuisine onboard to activities, crew specialties and the ambience of the yacht itself.

We were also fortunate to enjoy the hospitality of these incredible superyachts at the formal lunches and cocktail events on board, where we sampled the Chefs’ specialties, enjoying the décor and special touches prepared by interior crew, to absorb the authentic charter guest experience each one offers.

Among the varied events on the entertainment program, the 2024 MYBA Show will host the annual Superyacht Chefs’ Competition, where Chefs present their signature dishes with the aim of taking home the coveted title of top Chef. The equally competitive “Tablescaping” competition is the opportunity for Interior Crew to impress with their creativity, flair and precision.

Genoa is an ancient port city, a hub for yacht builders and gateway to the Mediterranean. LCG anticipates another incredible MYBA Show and we look forward to passing on the knowledge we gain here to you.
