Held along the picturesque Ligurian coast from April 27th to May 1st, the 2025 edition of the MYBA Charter Show brought together over 700 registered brokers and central agents, with more than 80 yachts on display. From iconic superyachts to brand-new launches, the docks were buzzing with energy, conversation, and a shared sense of anticipation for the charter season ahead. Our Yacht IN team was there to experience it all.
We walked the docks, met with captains and chefs, and explored some of the most exciting charter yachts available this year. Here are the yachts that left a lasting impression and the stories behind our time onboard.
M/Y AQUA CHIARA – Columbus Yachts, 47m
One of the standout yachts of the entire show was AQUA CHIARA. Built in 2025 and styled with exceptional attention to detail, she feels more like a floating boutique hotel than a traditional charter yacht.
From Hermès cushions to Armani vases, the interior is refined yet expressive. The yacht accommodates up to 10 guests across five luxurious cabins: a full-beam Master suite on the main deck, two VIP cabins, and two convertible twin cabins on the lower deck, offering complete flexibility.
With a full gym, smoothie bar, cinema screens at both ends of the deck, and a crew of nine, including a Neapolitan chef, this yacht fully embodies the spirit of Italian luxury.
M/Y INCAL – Viudes Yachts, 44.81m
Few yachts manage to feel as timeless and yet thoroughly updated as INCAL. Fresh from a 2025 refit, she now offers enhanced comfort, wellness features, and a renewed design that balances rich wood interiors with calming, neutral tones.
Her six cabins, including a full-beam master with private balconies and a Jacuzzi ensuite, provide the feel of a high-end residence. The VIP suite, with its own lounge and dressing room, wouldn’t look out of place on a much larger yacht.
One of the most unique features onboard is the hydraulic swim platform, which transforms into a true beach club environment. With an array of water toys, a full gym, sauna, and entertainment systems, INCAL offers something for every guest.
M/Y NANGARA – Sanlorenzo SL106 Asymmetric, 32.26m
Sanlorenzo’s NANGARA caught our attention immediately. Her clean lines and asymmetric design give her a sleek, modern profile, but it’s her atmosphere that lingers. Designed by Zuccon International and launched in 2024, Nangara blends warmth and elegance with a sense of playfulness.
She accommodates ten guests across five cabins, including a stunning main-deck master suite filled with natural light. The fold-out balconies off the main salon connect you directly to the sea, and the sundeck with a grill, lounging areas, and open-air dining was made for Mediterranean evenings. Her water toy collection is extensive: Jet Skis, foilboard, sea scooters, paddleboards, and a 36-foot Technohull tender offer endless possibilities for exploration.
M/Y AT ONE – Ferretti Custom Line, 28m
From the moment we stepped on board, AT ONE felt like a yacht that overdelivers in every way. Built in 2024 and measuring 28 meters, she offers the presence and volume of a much larger vessel, thanks to her generous 199GT and smart tri-deck layout.
With five elegant cabins accommodating up to ten guests, her layout feels spacious and incredibly well thought out. A gym and yoga area on the sundeck, a second salon on the upper deck, and touches of Christian Dior throughout the interior add a layer of refinement. We were lucky to attend a broker lunch onboard, and the experience was outstanding. Chef Cameron Newton impressed with a perfectly balanced menu and, most memorably, fresh-baked artisan bread that added a personal, elevated touch to the meal.
AT ONE also includes a chase boat, an Axopar 37 perfect for day trips, island hopping, or secluded swims. With Starlink internet and remarkably low fuel consumption, she offers both freedom and efficiency.
M/Y KORA – Princess X80, 24.5m
KORA surprised us in the best possible way. Compact in size but generous in space, she features a rare five-cabin layout with two VIP suites, a double, a convertible, and a master. Her layout is ideal for family groups or mixed parties looking for flexibility.
Her interiors feel calm and inviting, and the South African crew of four brings a relaxed yet professional energy onboard. With around 30 percent more interior volume than other yachts in her category, Kora is proof that clever design truly matters.
Final Thoughts
Attending MYBA Sanremo 2025 gave us more than just insight; it gave us a renewed sense of excitement for the season ahead. Charter clients are asking for more: more space, flexibility, sustainability, and purpose. The yachts we visited responded to that call beautifully.
From the carefully considered interiors to high-performance tenders and sustainable features, it’s clear that this new generation of yachts is built not just to impress, but to serve.
We left Sanremo inspired and ready to match these standout vessels with the right charter clients. If you're curious about any of the yachts featured here or if you're ready to plan your next escape, we’d be happy to tell you more. Let’s get you on board.
