2020 Fall Charter Yacht Show
For the health and safety of crew, brokers and community, CYS is hosting a hybrid show this year from Sunday November 8th to Wednesday November 11th (until noon). It will be a combination of real time and virtual. Our host venue is Nanny Cay Resort and Marina.
BOATS AND CREWS IN THE BVI: Nanny Cay is offering a discounted rate of $1.50/ft per day effective between 3rd November - 13th November. See details below in General Information for Yachts on Docks
CREWS ELSEWHERE: If you would like to participate, whether aboard your yacht or not, you can do so. Everyone is welcome regardless of where you are located at the time of the show. Refer to details below in How it Works.
WHO CAN SIGN UP: 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: Brokers will be able to log into the show no matter where they are. They can catch crew livestreaming or watch pre-recorded reel. Facetime with the crew will be made possible with additional opportunities to have one on one. Shows can be stressful. Who needs the added stress and uncertainty of travelling during these times? Of course, BVI based brokers will be able to visit yachts on the docks. Refer to details below in How it Works
VENDORS: Our traditional business expo affords captains, chefs and brokers the once a year opportunity to meet, in person, representatives of local businesses which offer quality products and services that ensure guests have the experience of a lifetime. The format will change but the opportunity will remain. Stay tuned for more information.
As the Sailing Capital of the World our waters remain azure blue and an average temperature of 80 degrees farenheit. The trade winds blow predictably and steadily year round. So much has changed this year but our destination has not.
EVERYONE: These past few months have taken a toll on everyone. With that in mind we are offering a 20% discount on the show fee if paid in full by October 1st. We are also offering the option to defer membership dues until the end of the year. Registration is open!
Crews and their boats
- Whether you are in the BVI or not, onboard your boat or not, you can be a part of the show.
- Once you are registered each crew will be given a time window in which their live stream or pre-recorded video will be aired. They will then be able to entertain live broker questions in a host led meeting. We will give you recommendations & helpful hints to create the optimum show reel, whether live or pre recorded, nearer the time.
- You will be given a link to access the “meeting room” where brokers will be congregating after your featured presentation. Brokers will engage with you and be given the opportunity to set up a one-on-one meeting at a later time.
- There will be side “events” which local & distant crews and brokers will be encouraged to attend and will create a boatshow feel despite the distance.
NOTE: Due to the nature of a virtual show registration for boats will have to close on 1st November.
Brokers
- Registered brokers will be given a personal password to enter the inner sanctum of the dedicated event website
- Each boat will have a portal and a featured time slot for the release of their pre-recorded promo reel or their live stream.
- Live Q&A will be time restricted but lead by a Host to make the most of this arena.
- A contact form will be included at each portal enabling brokers to set up a subsequent one-on-one meeting with crews.

SPECIAL SHOW RATES!
Whilst dockage, electricity and water are NOT covered in your registration fees Nanny Cay is offering a discounted rate of $1.50/foot per day from November 3rd - 13th. Before entering the marina, be sure to call to confirm your approach. Once secured in your slip go to the marina office to sign in.

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.
