The Palma Superyacht Show, conducted in partnership with MYBA The Worldwide Yachting Association, has firmly established itself as the season opener in the Mediterranean. It showcases the finest selection of yachts, for sale and charter, in one of the finest destinations in the world. So, it comes as no surprise that the third consecutive Show, held from the 30th of April to the 4th of May, has proven to be the best to date with the numbers speaking for themselves.
The Palma Superyacht Show, conducted in partnership with MYBA The Worldwide Yachting Association, showcases a rich blend of sailing and motor yachts that are over 24 metres in length and has firmly established itself as the season opener in the Mediterranean. Two distinct features that set this Show apart are (i) all the yachts on display are available for sale and/or charter and (ii) the ratio between motor and sail is uniquely balanced. When combined with the relaxed atmosphere that is characteristic of Palma and the excellent networking opportunities, the result is an event not to be missed.
The 2016 Palma Superyacht Show, which will be held from the 28th of April to the 2nd of May, is already gathering momentum and that comes as no surprise. Apart from being a vibrant yachting destination, Palma is also fast becoming a hub for all services related to superyachts. From custom refits and repairs to sailmakers and surveyors, Palma seems to be bringing together the very best that the industry has to offer and it is only natural that it hosts a show of yachting excellence. In 2015, the Palma Superyacht Show achieved record figures with 62 participating yachts, 42 exhibitors and 6.000 exclusive visitors. An indication of the effectiveness of the Show in generating business is that 95% of the exhibitors present during the 2015 Show are returning for the 4th edition. Although increasing demand has led the organisers to extend the offer of 4X3 metre stands, potential exhibitors should still book as early as possible as the 2016 Show promises to be the busiest yet.
The Palma Superyacht Show may be growing in size and strength but the care and strategic planning which are being invested, by all involved, guarantee that there will be no compromises in quality. Once again, it is preparing to steal the show!
