Starting today, 25 June, with the Captain’s Briefing and the Welcome Cocktail, one of the most iconic regattas on the international sailing calendar sets sail. The 2025 Superyacht Cup Palma, now celebrating its 29th edition, is regarded as Europe’s longest-standing superyacht regatta. For the first time, the event will be staged at the prestigious and newly redeveloped Club de Mar-Mallorca, right in the heart of the city.
‍

The move to this permanent new home marks a clear statement of intent from the organisers, who are looking to elevate the event to the next level. Following extensive renovations, Club de Mar has firmly positioned itself not only as a focal point for Mallorca’s nautical community, but also as a prime setting for the networking and social scene that surrounds high-end regattas of this kind.
‍

“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.

‍

Racing will get underway tomorrow, 26 June, at 13:00, with the fleet heading out into the Bay of Palma for the first day of action. The regatta will wrap up on 28 June.

A total of eleven superyachts are set to compete, split across two classes:
‍

In the fiercely competitive Class A, the much-anticipated rematch between Atalante and Vijonara — both drawn by Hoek Design NA — is on the cards. Making their Superyacht Cup debut this year are Linnea Aurora, a Truly Classic 128, and Gelliceaux, a Southern Wind designed by Farr. Also returning to the line-up is Cervo, a striking 39-metre yacht from the board of Tripp.
‍

In Class B, the spotlight falls on the designs of Mallorcan naval architect Javier Jaudenes, whose signature lines are featured on five of the six entries in the division. Defending champion Rose will be gunning for a historic third consecutive win — a Superyacht Cup first. But she’ll face stiff competition from a quartet of Baltic Yachts Café Racers — Ganesha, Hormar, Open Season and Pink Gin Verde — along with the newly launched 24-metre Sveam, racing her maiden regatta.
‍

“It probably goes without saying that the last two years have been really exciting, with great racing along the way,” said Rose’s skipper, Ben Potter. “Can we do it again? Well, we’ll give it our best shot, as will all the other yachts in our class and across the fleet. Win or lose, it’s going to be another memorable experience here at the Superyacht Cup Palma.”

‍

Forecasts are pointing to clear skies, high temperatures and consistent afternoon sea breezes — perfect conditions for tactical inshore racing and tight mark roundings.
‍

Every manoeuvre is likely to count, and the slightest hesitation could prove costly. This will be a regatta where finesse, crew coordination and sharp tactical calls may outweigh pure boat speed. With light to moderate winds expected, it’s shaping up to be a tactician’s race — where brains might just beat brawn.
