An exciting new venue for the Superyacht Cup Palma in 2025

by The Superyacht Cup Palma 13 Feb 13:27 UTC 25-28 June 2025

With a new venue, new entries and new racing classes, the Superyacht Cup Palma 2025 is on course for a spectacular 29th edition from 25-28 June.

Europe's longest running superyacht regatta will be relocating to the prestigious and innovative Club de Mar-Mallorca in the heart of Palma, a move that will bring together the yachts, owners and crews immediately alongside the vibrant SYC Race Village, the heart of the event's social and networking scene.

The new venue, along with the prospect of new racing classes, has seen a surge of interest in joining the action out on the Bay of Palma.

"We are always looking for new ways to improve and enhance the Superyacht Cup Palma experience for owners, skippers and partners, and a base in the new-look recently developed Club de Mar-Mallorca does just that," said Event Director Kate Branagh.

"Having the opportunity to host all the superyachts racing at our event on the dock together at the heart of Palma is what the Superyacht Cup is all about and interest from competitors is at an all-time high."

SYC's new Venue Partner the Club de Mar-Mallorca was founded over half a century ago in 1972, and is renowned for facilities and services aligned with the needs of larger sailing yachts. It is currently in the fifth year of a 360º improvement scheme which has already delivered modern, sophisticated and sustainable upgrades to both the dock and clubhouse.

The opportunity to again be able to bring all the yachts, owners and crews together, stern-to at the Race Village, has no doubt played its part in the exciting level of interest from both new entries as well as seasoned veterans of the Superyacht Cup Palma.

One direct result is that 2025 looks set to see a brand-new class for the increasingly high-profile Baltic 68 Café Racers. The creation of Mallorcan designer Javier Juadenes, the striking 20.7m sloops are already making a name for themselves on the racing circuit, with both Ganesha and Open Season likely SYC contenders in June.

In addition, Hoek Design entries may also get their own class, with both the 42m Vijonara and 38.7m Atalante looking set to make a welcome return to SYC after racing last year, plus new launch Linnea Aurora, who recently joined the Truly Classic 128 line-up.

Others from 2024 possibly returning are the 39m Tripp design Cervo, and the 24m Farr designed Wally Yacht Rose — with the two-time back-to-back champion having the unique chance to make it three-in-a-row, an SYC first.

However, she will face determined if friendly competition from several in the fleet, not least from the fellow Farr Yacht Design and SYC first-timer Gelliceaux.

"The Gelliceaux owner, crew, and I are all looking forward to making the yacht's debut at the Superyacht Cup Palma this summer — it is a favourite in the superyachting world and a fantastic racing location with an equally friendly social scene which sounds like it will be enhanced this year with all the boats being moored together at the new Club de Mar-Mallorca venue. We can't wait!" said Clive Walker, captain of the Southern Wind 108 which has already shown its potential with overall victory at the 2024 St Barth Bucket.

With the 2025 Notice of Race published and official entries open, the Superyacht Cup Palma organisers are looking forward to joining forces with the Club de Mar-Mallorca.

Event Director Kate Branagh added: "At the same time we remain indebted to our long-standing partners including St. Regis Mardavall Mallorca, Pendennis, Marinepool, North Sails, Pantaenius, RSB Rigging Solutions and, of course, the Real Club Náutico de Palma for their world-class race management expertise."
