2020 Fall Charter Yacht Show
Nanny Cay Resort and Marina is the host marina for the CYS' 2020 Fall Charter Yacht Show, Sunday November 8th - Wednesday November 11th (until noon).
DISCOUNT: Once again, special dockage rates are available at $1.50/ft per day from 3rd November - 13th November.
CREW: The show is open to all term charter crewed yachts. You do not need to be CYS member to attend, although members do enjoy year round benefits as well as a discounted show.
NEW! ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP for non BVI based charter yachts. It is affordable and it is easy. You can join at the same time as registering for the show. Check out our Member Benefits page. Prices for show registration and membership are detailed below under YACHT REGISTRATION
BROKERS: Accommmodation on site makes access to the show convenient. Nanny Cay is offering summer rates during the Show. Show registration fees are detailed below under BROKER REGISTRATION.
VENDORS: Traditionally, we host a Business Expo which attracts over 35 vendors. It affords captains, chefs and brokers the once a year opportunity to meet representatives of local businesses which offer quality products such as fine wines and gourmet foods or personalized services that ensure guests have the experience of a lifetime. This event remains under consideration for 2020.
It all takes place in the Sailing Capital of the World. Whether charter yacht operator or charter broker, you do not want to miss this event.
EVERYONE: These past few months have taken a toll on everyone and there still remains uncertainty for some. Our current policy is SIGN UP NOW and PAY LATER. Registration is open!

New Brokers: In order, to get the most out of the charter yacht show we require ALL new brokers complete the New Broker Online Course presented by CYBA (Charter Yacht Broker Association).
The course is designed to give you a thorough knowledge of the yacht charter business, and provide a resource for you to refer back to for guidance as your career evolves.” Are you former or soon-to-be former crew? Many of the same have completed the course ahead of you and admit they learnt much more than they thought they would.
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE: regardless of the location of our show, our environmental consciousness remains the same. We discourage the distribution of disposable water bottles at our shows. Brokers are encouraged to pack your favourite reusable bottle and we will ensure it never runs dry.
