This year's selection of sail and motor yachts over 24m showcases great nautical versatility: anything from multi-level motor yachts to sleek sailing yachts will be proudly displayed. A veritable festival of sailing legends, the event will shine a spotlight on well-known yachts such as Nautor Swan's 35.15m Highland Fling 15 and Royal Huisman's award-winning 40,28m Anakena. Yachting enthusiasts who prefer the superlative luxuries of a motor yacht can snoop around commodious master cabins on motor yachts like the newly-refitted 36.4m Moonraker.

Strong demand from first-time international exhibitors

The on-shore side of things is no less exciting as we've seen a strong demand from first-time international exhibitors. Our latest sign-up keen to benefit from the exposure to thousands of industry professionals is Amiral Yacht Services. Company owner Marco van Doorn said: “I always have a wonderful time and make many interesting contacts when I visit the show so am excited to exhibit and present our specialized services and renowned brands at the event’s Refit & Repair area this year!”

Fresh ideas, brand new products and services

What's more, many of our new and returning exhibitors have utilized the past year by turning fresh ideas into brand new products and services. This means captains, owners and crew members can look forward to oodles of exciting announcements and launches during the upcoming event. One of these innovative initiatives is STP's inaugural Ibiza Joy Sail*, an exciting five-day regatta that includes an offshore race from Palma to Ibiza. Competitive owners won't want to miss the compelling presentation set to take place at the yard's stand during the show. *Captains and owners, please note that the deadline for registration is 20 May.
