Second Edition of Olympic Yacht Show Attracted Record Number of Visitors

The 2nd Olympic Yacht Show that was held at Olympic Marine in Lavrio set a new record with regard to the number of visitors while, compared to last year, the number of exhibitors and yachts was also greater.

The 2022 Olympic Yacht Show opened its gates on October 7th and closed its gates on the 10th. From day one the show attracted people’s attention with the number of visitors reaching 20,000 this year. 

Greek boat builders were at the forefront of rib production: from open to cabin cruisers, inboard and outboard, there’s plenty of choices. At this year's Show, Greek shipyards including SkipperBSK, Technohull, Rafnar Hellas, Rock Marine, Seafighter, Olympic Ribs and Onda Tenders held center stage.

"The Olympic Yacht Show is an exhibition that showcases, in Greece and abroad, the multi-dimensional yachting industry and brings together all the professionals of this important market of the economy. Our goal is for Greek companies and Greek boats to have their own show, in their homeland, and to be a pole of attraction for foreign buyers and one of the reasons for visiting our show," says Gerasimos Gerolimatos, the head of the show Organizing Committee, at the opening ceremony. He then gave the floor to the owner of Olympic Marine, George Prokopiou, who set a very concrete goal: to make Greek yachting the number one yachting industry in the world. "There is no competition among us, only cooperation. Let’s make a promise now, enough with the wishes. Greek yachting will become number one in the world, just like Greek shipping."
