Any quality yacht of 20 metres or over may register for attendance. However, yachts over 4 years of age will be required to submit three YACHT CONDITION DECLARATIONS provided by Brokers approved by the MYBA Charter Show Committee. These Declarations are to be provided by Brokers who have personally inspected the yacht within the past 12 months.

On the Yacht Application Form you will see three boxes asking for the names and e-mail addresses of three brokers who have inspected the yacht in the past 12 months. Simply complete these boxes with the information requested and these brokers will automatically receive a request to provide a Yacht Condition Declaration for the yacht. The aim is to establish whether the yacht is in charter ready condition. You will be able to check the status of your application through your private area and verify whether the brokers you approached provided the Declaration as requested. If you see that a Declaration is still pending, you can then decide whether to follow up with that broker or to ask someone else for a declaration. Once all the Declarations are completed, they will be automatically forwarded to us and passed on to the MYBA boat show committee for approval.

Priority will be given to first-time applicants and to yachts that have not been in the show for the past two years. Other yachts will be able to apply for registration but will initially be placed on the waiting list. If a suitable berth becomes available, consideration will be given to the yacht's recent history - change of ownership, major refit, significant crew changes, etc.

If the Broker submitting an application belongs to a company not listed on MYBAnet or to a new company not recognized by MYBA we require broker declaration forms from three separate charter managers with whom the applying Broker has booked a charter on a yacht of 20m and above within the past year.

We only publish the companies who have been accepted by the MYBA Show Committee and have paid their registration fees. If your application is accepted, we will add your company's name to the Brokers Attending list as soon as payment is received.
