Charter Meetup Italy
Charter Meetup Italy is returning in 2026 as a B2B yacht charter event for charter companies and international brokers. The event once again brings the yacht charter industry together in Sicily one of the most important yacht charter destinations in the Mediterranean.
Through direct meetings, marina visits and sailing area presentations, Charter Meetup Italy helps professionals prepare for the upcoming charter season.
A format designed for real business
The core of Charter Meetup is the pre-scheduled speed-dating B2B meetings. These 10 minute, one-on-one sessions are arranged in advance, allowing participants to use their time efficiently and connect with the right partners.
Alongside the meetings, the programme also includes:
-
Sailing area presentations
-
Marina and charter base visits
-
A promo sailing week
This combination of structured meetings and on-site experiences gives participants a better understanding of the fleets, bases, and sailing areas they work with.
1. | SAILING AREA PRESENTATIONS
The first activity on the schedule will be Italian sailing area presentations, which will allow attendees to learn more about different sailing routes. Participants will be able to ask questions about itineraries and key details that matter to their clients.
Fleet operators with strong knowledge of Italian sailing areas will present and share practical tips and local insights, including recommendations for the best bays, restaurants, and local highlights.
2. | B2B SPEED DATE MEETINGS
The B2B Speed-Dating meetings will be the program’s most important part. Each meeting will last precisely ten minutes for participants to introduce themselves, share important information, and build beneficial business connections.
This fast-paced format is designed to keep the energy high and give all exhibiting companies a real opportunity to move their business forward. Every minute counts, making each meeting focused, dynamic, and efficient.
3. | MARINA TOURS
Another interesting part of the programme will be the marina and charter base tours. Participants will visit several important locations, including Capo d’Orlando and Marina di Portorosa.
These tours give brokers the chance to see the yachts up close and get a real feel for the fleets and services offered by charter companies. At the same time, fleet operators can present their yachts in a real setting, making it easier to build trust and support future cooperation.
4. | PROMO SAILING WEEK
Following the Charter Meetup Italy, participants will also have the opportunity to join the promo sailing week. Charter brokers will be able to charter yachts from attending fleet operators and experience sailing in Italy firsthand.
This is a valuable way for brokers to see how fleet operators work, learn more about Italian sailing areas, and better understand the service they offer to their clients. Experiencing the product first-hand helps brokers present it more confidently and professionally.
