From the end of April to early May each year, the Port of Palma in Mallorca will be home to one of the biggest and best international boat shows in the world. The enormous venue, with its deep-water dock, will host some of the industry’s biggest and smallest craft.
Anyone on holiday in Mallorca at this time can experience 9 days of nautical fun and waterborne enjoyment from yachts to dinghies to parasailing to hospitality cruises aboard super-yachts and thrilling displays by turbo charged speedboats.
With over 300 vessels afloat, the occasion avoids the static conventions of other shows with many boats available for demonstration by their captains and crews.
The Mallorca sea air will become alive with the flapping of sails and the thunderous roar of engines as the smartest and fastest new yachts and motorboats are put through their paces before an enormous admiring audience.
Activities aimed at junior visitors, a multitude of different displays and the chance to ‘have a go’ ensure no one is left out whilst a huge range of food and drink at the venue ensures all tastes and appetites are catered for.
One day may not be long enough to appreciate the variety and scale of this exciting scene with its lovely location and for this week, Mallorca is guaranteed to be every boating enthusiast’s first port of call.
