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).

Once again, special dockage rates at $1.50/ft per day will be available from 3rd November - 13th November.

This is your opportunity to showcase your yacht and crew to an audience of more than 120 international charter yacht brokers. In addition, our Business Expo, with over 35 vendors, 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.

It all takes place in the Sailing Capital of the World. All term charter crewed yachts are welcome. Are you a charter yacht broker? You do not want to miss this event.

Registration is now 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.
