Palma International Boat Show: What to Know
The Palma International Boat Show, known for its dedicated superyacht section (the "superyacht village"), is looking up their game again this year in the Port of Palma de Mallorca. From April 30th to May 3rd, here's what to look for:
Superyacht Village: New Builds
New for 2025, the show will feature an entire area dedicated to new superyacht models starting from 35m (114ft). Situated at the Club del Mar Marina, it's a little apart from the rest of the show, but tenders and golf carts will provide access to the other areas.
Superyacht Village: Brokerage, Charters, and Refits
Returning segments of the superyacht village will allow visitors to tour yachts for both sale and charter, and there's an appeal for current yacht owners, too: a section dedicated to refit and repair services will showcase eye-popping designs and overhauls. The main village, minus new builds, will be situated in and around Marina Mol Vell, with plenty of parking (the marina itself will be closed off from the rest of the port).
A Sail-Focused Superyacht Show
The majority of the yachts being shown for sale or charter — with the possible exception of the new builds, for which the complete list has yet to be released — are sailing superyachts, with some spectacular examples of classic design with new technology on display.

Getting There
For anyone with a car on the island there's plenty of parking around the marina (and around the port in general), and there should be berths available around the port for those looking to arrive by boat; but the simplest way to get to the show may be to take the ferry directly from Barcelona, Valencia, or Ibiza — all three dock next to the show.
