The Pinnacle of the Eastern Med: TYBA Yacht Charter Show 2026
The Turkish Riviera has firmly cemented its status as a global maritime powerhouse. As the tender glides toward the docks of Marmaris Muttaş Marina, the silhouette of the fleet against the rugged Turquoise Coast confirms one thing: the TYBA Yacht Charter Show has evolved into the most critical trade event in the Eastern Mediterranean.
For HNWIs, retail charter brokers, and industry leaders attending, this is where the “Blue Voyage” is refined into a world-class, bespoke experience.
The Strategic Shift: Why Marmaris Muttaş Marina?
Historically rooted in Göcek, the move to Marmaris Muttaş Marina marks a significant upgrade in logistical capability. Marmaris offers a deeper draft and expansive berthing, allowing the show to host a higher concentration of high-tonnage (GT) superyachts alongside the region’s signature luxury gulets.
This relocation aligns with the Turkish Yacht Brokers Association’s (TYBA) mission to showcase vessels exceeding 40m LOA that meet stringent environmental standards while offering seamless access to both Turkish waters and the neighboring Greek islands.
The Showstopper Debut: M/Y DANLOU (Sanlorenzo SL96A)
Among the premier vessels showcased at this year’s event, the newly launched M/Y DANLOU represents the absolute pinnacle of contemporary Italian design and Mediterranean freedom.
Technical Profile
Built by Sanlorenzo and delivered in 2026, this 29-meter SL96A model is a refined expression of craftsmanship. With a beam of 6.76 meters and a cruising speed of 16 knots, she is perfectly engineered for the crossing between Athens and the Turkish coast. She accommodates 11 guests across five luxurious cabins, including three doubles and two twins one featuring a Pullman and the other a convertible arrangement.
The Art of Mediterranean Freedom
Owned by a discerning charter veteran, DANLOU is a masterclass in spatial innovation. As an asymmetric model, she maximizes volume and natural light through expansive, panoramic floor-to-ceiling glazing. A signature section of the salon wall lowers to create a physical balcony, blurring the line between the refined interior and the open sea.
The Luxury Detail & Toys
Life on board is curated with residential-level prestige. Interior appointments include premium Italian IZZARI bed linen, Bernardaud of France fine china, and Christofle cutlery.
The “Chase Boat Advantage” is a key highlight: included at no extra cost is a fast and agile Sacs Strider 11 tender. This allows for stable, high-speed shore transfers and unparalleled access to shallow Aegean coves that larger yachts cannot reach. Supported by an elite crew of five including a Michelin-trained Chef—DANLOU delivers an intuitive, highly polished service standard at rates of €99,000 to €110,000 per week.
The Professional Ecosystem
The TYBA Show is unique because it bridges the gap between heritage and high-tech. Here, the “Luxury Gulet” shares the docks with cutting-edge composite hulls like the Sanlorenzo asymmetric series. Beyond the yachts, the event serves as a hub for industry intelligence, featuring seminars on Turkish maritime law and the much-anticipated Chef’s Competition, which reinforces the region’s reputation for world-class galley standards.
