The 5th Panhellenic Yachting Congress 2026 marks a new chapter for the Greek yachting industry, highlighting emerging trends, innovations, and opportunities for international outreach. The event brings together leading professionals, stakeholders, and enthusiasts of maritime tourism with the aim of exploring new partnerships and enhancing the global presence of Greek yachting. Through constructive dialogue and the exchange of expertise, the congress aspires to lay the foundations for a dynamic and sustainable future for the sector.
The Congress sets sail on the 26th and 27th of February 2026, serving once again as the reference point for maritime tourism and Greek yachting. This well-established institution — now the most significant platform for dialogue and cooperation in the field — returns with greater ambitions, expanding its objectives and looking beyond national borders. The fifth edition takes an important step toward international engagement, addressing a global audience and welcoming distinguished speakers from abroad, thus opening the way for new synergies, investment opportunities, and cross-border collaboration.
Staying true to its role as a driver of maritime tourism development, the Congress brings together professionals, companies, charter brokers, shipbuilders, institutions, captains, journalists, and yachting enthusiasts for two days of knowledge, networking, and inspiration. Through a rich thematic agenda, participants will have the opportunity to explore the latest trends and prospects in the industry. On the first day, discussions will focus on the regulatory framework, marinas and infrastructure, financial resources, investments and funding, as well as the technological revolution transforming the yachting industry, including risk prevention and management.
On the second day, attention shifts to the Eastern Mediterranean, the challenges of professional charters, specialized service provision, the importance of human capital, maritime education, the new “Generation Z,” health and wellness services, and holistic yacht design. The full program — including talks, panels, and moderators — is available at: SCHEDULE 2026 – PANHELLENIC YACHTING CONGRESS.
