After careful deliberation, and consultation with Marina Port Vell, our Show Managers, it is with great sadness that we announce the cancellation of the 2021 MYBA Charter Show which was scheduled to take place from 26 – 29 April in Barcelona.  The decision to halt preparations for the Show was a difficult one but necessary as recent developments regarding the Covid-19 pandemic together with travel restrictions make holding the event no longer feasible. Marina Port Vell respects and understands this decision as, apart from our commitment to co-organising an event of the highest standards, we also share a deep sense of responsibility for the safety and well-being of all participants.  It will always be our primary concern.We are very disappointed that we will be unable to hold this event which provides exceptional networking opportunities, showcases our industry’s finest and generates solid business but we know it’s the right decision based on the information we have today.In place of the in-person event, MYBA together with Marina Port Vell are already exploring alternative ways to engage the superyacht community and move forward. “The show must go on” is in our DNA and even if that is not set to happen this year in the way that we intended, we are certain that we can tap into new avenues that will help our valued  Members and Show stakeholders to mitigate the level of disruption to business. We will be sharing additional details about our plans in the coming weeks so please stay tuned!We would like to thank you for your understanding and we hope that there will be positive developments in the near future that will allow us to forge ahead with the next Show in Barcelona which we intend to be sensational and we expect to see you there.Until then, please know that we will continue to work hard to ensure that we remain connected, united and ready to meet the new challenges that are arising.

Kind regards,MYBA Board
