Dear Partners, Exhibitors, Sponsors, and Friends,
The 2025 edition of the Palma International Boat Show, held from April 30th to May 3rd, has come to a close – and we’re proud to share that this year’s event not only met but exceeded expectations across the board.
With over 30,000 visitors, this edition officially surpassed last year’s attendance and marked an exciting leap forward in both industry impact and international recognition.Initial feedback has been incredibly positive. Over 95% of surveyed exhibitors expressed their intent to return in 2026, citing high-quality leads, strong networking opportunities, and the competitiveness of the show’s offering as key highlights. In addition, more than 350 accredited media representatives – a majority from international outlets—attended, further amplifying the show’s global reach and visibility.
This year’s show will be remembered for the expansion into the prestigious Club de Mar, which allowed us to launch the Superyacht New Build Hub – a dedicated space spotlighting cutting-edge yacht construction, innovation, and premium design. With 10 superyachts on display, including icons such as Baltic 142 Canova and Baltic 175 Pink Gin (Baltic Yachts), Wally 110 Galma (Wally), Southern Wind 105 Kiboko and Southern Wind 94 All Smoke (Southern Wind Shipyard), Pendennis 128 Halekai (Pendennis Shipyard), Vitters 44m Catalina (Vitters Shipyard) and others, and 10 industry leaders on land including Baltic Yachts, Southern Wind, Vitters, Wally, Royal Huisman, Dykstra Naval Architects, and more, the area created a powerful new business platform for builders and buyers alike.
At the heart of the Superyacht New Build Hub, the AIRE Lounge elevated the experience further, offering gourmet food and drinks throughout the day and vibrant live DJ sets into the evening. This hospitality concept provided a unique and relaxed networking atmosphere, reinforcing the fusion of business and lifestyle that defines the Palma show.
Thanks to our partners at Boote Polch Mallorca, the area was seamlessly connected to the main show via VIP tenders, offering smooth and stylish access with Axopar 28 & 37, Nimbus T11, and the latest Volvo Penta Assisted Docking System – a first in shuttle boarding experiences.
On Saturday, the Superyacht Square Key Notes brought together thought leaders for a powerful morning of discussion around sustainability and innovation – two defining forces shaping our industry. We thank our esteemed speakers including Claire Hagen (This is Odyssey), Sam Stewart (Relief Crew Foundation), Philip Greenberg (GreenJoy Studio), and the pioneers of the Superyacht Square; Onno Ebbens (Acrew), Lauren Wardley (Ethical Yacht Wear) and Gabbi Richardson (Yachting Ventures).
Attendees enjoyed fresh Mistral Coffee and plant-based creations by Nata the Cook, in a setting designed for both inspiration and meaningful dialogue.
We also proudly launched our first carbon offset partnership with Yacht Carbon Offset, neutralizing 10 tonnes of CO2e generated by the Sustainability Hub, through the Ombepo Wind Power Project in Namibia – a meaningful steptoward our shared commitment to a cleaner future.
Behind these successes is you – our exhibitors, partners, sponsors, captains, crew, and community. Your dedication,trust, and enthusiasm are what make the Palma International Boat Show so special. We thank you for your continued support.
We are pleased to announce the dates for next year’s edition:
We look forward to welcoming you once again to Palma, where world-class yachting meets innovation, elegance, and opportunity.
Warmest regards,
The Palma Superyacht Village Team
