PALMA BECOMES THE GLOBAL HUB OF THE NAUTICAL INDUSTRY WITH THE BALEARIC SUPERYACHT FORUM 2025

Palma is set to welcome key leaders and professionals from the global yachting sector as the Balearic Superyacht Forum 2025 kicks off on April 29–30 at the Palma Auditorium, coinciding with the Palma International Boat Show. Organized by the Balearic Marine Cluster and supported by The Superyacht Group, the forum is establishing itself as the premier international event for the superyacht industry in the Mediterranean.

Over the course of two intensive days, around 300 attendees—including shipyards, brokers, yacht owners, engineers, suppliers, and tech firms will explore the future of the Mediterranean superyacht sector. The agenda
features keynote speeches, panel discussions, networking sessions, and, as a major new initiative, 10 business innovation hackathons, where multidisciplinary teams will co-create solutions to real-world challenges in the nautical industry.

The forum is structured around two thematic pillars. On April 29, under th theme “THE FUTURE OF MARINAS & OPERATIONS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN,” discussions will focus on the evolution of marinas, shifting navigation routes, and the expansion of the charter market. On April 30, “THE FUTURE OF REFIT & SERVICE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN” will explore investment in infrastructure, the role of subcontractors, and the Mediterranean’s potential to provide state-of-theart technical services for large yachts.

“The Balearic Superyacht Forum is a unique opportunity to position the Mediterranean as a global leader in premium nautical services,” says Guillermo García, President of the Balearic Marine Cluster. “From the Balearic Islands, we aim to lead this evolution with strategic vision, innovation, and international collaboration, and we invite all stakeholders to join us in shaping this future.”

In addition to the technical sessions, the forum offers exclusive networking spaces, a visit to the Palma International Boat Show, and a private VIP dinner strengthening its role as a key event for strategic connections and
new business opportunities.

The Balearic Superyacht Forum 2025 is not just about the present—it looks ahead, driving sustainability, skills development, and competitiveness in the Mediterranean’s nautical ecosystem.
