Taking place in the Italian maritime city of Sanremo at the end of April, it's one of the oldest shows on the yachting circuit, now in its 35th year. Well attended exclusively by yachting industry professionals, it's a great chance to connect and collaborate with the wider charter community, and for charter brokers familiarise themselves with some of the leading charter yachts afloat and available for the coming season.
