Registrations Open for the 7th TYBA Yacht Charter Show
TYBA, in collaboration with ED Fuarcılık, is pleased to announce that registrations are now open for the 7th TYBA Yacht Charter Show, taking place May 7–11, 2026, at Marmaris Muttas Marina.

This prestigious event will bring together international charter brokers, yacht owners, and industry professionals in Marmaris—one of the most important yachting hubs in the Mediterranean—to explore a carefully selected fleet of Turkish commercial yachts and to connect with the global charter community.
A legacy nearing half a century
TYBA President H. Serhan Cengiz stated that the event celebrates a well-established 47-year legacy of yacht charter shows in Marmaris. The idea of the first charter show in the region was initiated in 1979 by Jim and Jill Anderson, who were living in Marmaris at the time and pioneered the concept of organizing a yacht show in the area. Following this initial attempt in 1979, the first official yacht charter show gained international recognition starting from 1981.
The Anderson family, whose children grew up in Marmaris, developed deep ties with the local maritime community—ties that continue to be preserved today by TYBA.
Taking over this heritage, the TYBA Association continues to develop it through the TYBA Yacht Charter Show. Except for a two-year interruption due to the pandemic, this tradition has continued almost uninterrupted for nearly fifty years. With this deep-rooted history, Türkiye’s charter show tradition is regarded as the second oldest continuously running event in the world, the first being the Antigua Charter Yacht Show.
As a tribute to this legacy, TYBA has invited Kateryna Anderson, representing the Anderson family, as a guest of honor to the 7th TYBA Yacht Charter Show, symbolically returning to where it all first began.
The heart of the industry will beat in Marmaris
Held under the shadow of the historic Marmaris Castle, the event will showcase some of the finest commercial charter yachts representing Turkish yachting. The show provides an ideal platform for brokers to inspect yachts, meet crews, and strengthen professional relationships within the international charter market.
In addition to yacht viewings, participants will have the opportunity to discover the unique bays of Marmaris—the jewel of the Turkish Riviera—experience its vibrant marina atmosphere, and enjoy its world-renowned restaurants.

The promotion code, valid for international flights between April 30 and May 18, 2026, and for domestic flights between May 5 and May 13, can be accessed via the event’s official website.
