Miami, Florida, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — \"\"<\/p>\n

Ritzy Yachts<\/a>, a luxury crewed yacht charter brokerage, attended the 2026 East Mediterranean Multihull & Yacht Charter Show (EMMYS) in Poros, Greece, to inspect fleets and meet crews ahead of the 2026 Greek charter season.<\/p>\n

The trade-only event, now in its 22nd edition, brought together 30 management companies and more than 100 crewed charter yachts for professional evaluation before the season began.
Germ\u00e1n Liubitch, Federico Mart\u00edn Lopez, Camila Conde, Michael Piper, Lucy Cooper and Lesli VanDeusen represented Ritzy Yachts at the show, walking decks, meeting captains and crew members face-to-face, and sampling chefs\u2019 show menus across multiple vessels.<\/p>\n

Rather than working from online photos and specification sheets alone, the brokerage uses these firsthand assessments to recommend the right yacht and crew, and to plan itineraries, for clients travelling in the Greek Islands and wider Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

Hands-On Inspections Replace Digital Guesswork<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

EMMYS gives attending brokers direct access to evaluate the physical condition, layout, crew professionalism, and onboard atmosphere of yachts in ways that digital listings cannot replicate.<\/p>\n

The Ritzy Yachts team inspected vessels across a range of sizes and categories, assessing everything from deck space and cabin configuration to the hospitality style of individual crews.<\/p>\n

At the show, charter yacht chefs also prepare full menus for brokers, providing direct insight into the culinary experience aboard each vessel, a detail that matters to clients with specific dining preferences or dietary requirements.<\/p>\n

\u201cAttending EMMYS in person lets us go well beyond brochures and spec sheets,\u201d said Germ\u00e1n Liubitch, Founder and Sales Director of Ritzy Yachts. \u201cWhen the Ritzy Yachts team walks a deck, meets a captain, and sits down to a chef\u2019s tasting menu, we come back with the kind of firsthand knowledge that allows us to match a client with the right yacht, the right crew, and the right experience.<\/p>\n

Five Standout Yachts for the 2026 Greek Season<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Among the more than 100 yachts on display, Ritzy Yachts identified five standout vessels that reflect the breadth of options available for Greek charters.<\/p>\n

The Fountaine Pajot fleet drew particular attention, with the sailing catamaran Aloia 80 representing the flagship end of the range.<\/p>\n

The power catamaran Alina and the sailing catamaran Kimata each offered distinct layouts and sailing profiles, while the Lagoon Valium 55 and the Lagoon 51 Corali stood out as strong options for clients seeking well-appointed catamarans at different size and budget levels.<\/p>\n

Together, the five selections span from intimate, value-focused vessels to larger 80-series flagships, covering a range of group sizes and charter budgets.<\/p>\n
