Palma 2025: The Boats, the Buzz, and the Best Moments
It’s that time of year again and our team was ready and raring to head over to the Palma for the Boat Show. The Palma International Boat Show 2024 brought together 295 exhibitors along with 128 boats on display at sea, so 2025 promised to be even better.
Tuesday 29th April –
Our journey in Palma kicked off, we picked up the Yotspot car and wasted no time immersing ourselves in the local atmosphere and engaging in discussions with superyachts within Port Adriano. The sleek design and amenities set the perfect backdrop for the exciting week ahead.
Wednesday 30th April –
Wednesday saw us exploring shipyards further in Club de Mar and STP shipyard meeting with a range of vessels.
In the evening, we joined the rooftop sunset cocktails which was part of the Thalassophilia event held on the scenic roof terrace of the Port Centre. Co-hosted by the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands and ESTELA, the gathering offered amazing views over Palma Bay and the iconic La Seu Cathedral. We were treated to an elegant atmosphere complemented by the performances of virtuoso jazz pianist Pierre Bauzerand and vocalist Marie Martin.
Thursday 1st May –
On day 3 it was our first day at the Palma International Boat Show! From catching up with industry buddies to making new connections, Today we soaked up the sun and dived head-first into discussions with some prospects and clients and walked the show floor. We also stopped by and spoke with some of our advertising clients!
In the afternoon, the team hosted a successful Crew Clinic at the Corner Bar, offering advice and guidance to green crew. They answered industry-related questions, optimised Yotspot profiles and provided CV-checking services to suggest areas for improvement. Not forgetting the Yotspot cocktail and photo booth!
Friday 2nd May –
Back at the Palma International boat show, the team held meetings with various vessels, including some inspiring ‘We Asked Crews’. Keep an eye out for that! We also immersed ourselves in the latest innovations and trends, capturing the essence of each vessel in stunning detail.
The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the Superyacht Charities Seafarers Supper, an event close to our hearts which we proudly sponsored to support the wonderful work of the Joyron Foundation and Yachting Gives Back. Thank you to the Superyacht Charities team for all the tireless work you do to support those less fortunate.
Also another big thanks to the other sponsors MIMO Connect Ltd, Starboard, ISC, Peninsula, Superyacht Fitness, Wilson Halligan, Penningtons Law, Howden Sturge and Taylor Made Designs for making it possible.
Now we are back at the Yotspot HQ. The hard work minus sunshine follows. Time to follow up and edit the content collected! Thank you to the organisers of Palma International Boat Show – we had a great time!
Until next year Palma 👋
