Charter Season Sets Sail from Aegina: LALIZAS Charter Summit 2026 at LaLiBay Resort & Spa
Posted on 2026-04-17
We are pleased to announce the successful completion of the LALIZAS Charter Summit 2026, held from April 14–16 at LaLiBay Resort & Spa on the island of Aegina.
The event brought together selected charter companies from across Greece for three days of high-level discussions, knowledge exchange and meaningful collaborations.
During the Summit, participants had the opportunity to further explore our manufacturing brands, product portfolio and latest developments, while gaining valuable insights into current market trends.
The sessions enabled an in-depth exchange on evolving market needs, allowing for open discussion around key challenges, while paving the way for targeted solutions and future opportunities.
Iasonas Lalizas, Marketing & Communications Director, gave a presentation on the entire group, while Vasilis Nikolopoulos, Greek Wholesale Supervisor, discussed our engagement with charter companies in particular. Additionally, George Papoutsis, Technical Manager of Lofrans & MAX POWER, provided more insights into our strong collaboration with boat builders.
The audience was actually impressed by the LALIZAS Group’s offerings and our overall operations and manufacturing capabilities.
We were also honoured to welcome Capt. George Parisis as a guest speaker, who enriched the event with his extensive industry experience, focusing on the transformation of chartering into an experience-driven offering.

Key discussions also focused on critical industry challenges, including attracting the next generation to yachting.
The Summit offered a chance to reflect on the evolution of LALIZAS within the charter industry since 2014–2015.
Growing market demand led to a dedicated sales channel, international exhibition presence and tailored solutions designed around customer needs. The product range was further adapted to support charter operations, with fast European service enabled by the warehouse in Belgium.
Beyond the conference sessions, the Summit fostered strong connections through dedicated one-to-one meetings and informal networking moments in a relaxed setting, including a welcome reception, seaside lunch and evening BBQ.
We would like to sincerely thank all participants for their trust, engagement and valuable contributions. Their active involvement was instrumental in making this Summit a true success and we look forward to building on these insights and partnerships in the upcoming season.
