More luxury charter yachts than ever have been shown at Palma Superyachtshow 2016, most of them with a charter licence for the Balearic Islands. Compared to other superyacht events, the share of sailing yachts was much higher. Even if there were very attractive motor yachts for charter as well, Palma is becoming more and more a sailing superyacht show, visitors said.

Beautiful classic style beauties were ELEONORA, 50 m replica of Herreshoff desgin WESTWARD, 35 m Abeking & Rasmussen TIZIANA and 42 m Holland Jachtbouw THIS IS US. AEGIR, 25 m yacht built 2010 by Carbon Ocean Yachts and  30 m SUSANNE AF STOCKHOLM, new to the Spanish charter market, featured a lot of shiny carbon. Impressive as well: sleek Swan 90 SOLLEONE, 43 m Vitters APHRODITE A, 37 m Fitzroy LUDYNOSA.G, performance yacht Jongert ICARUS and of course Perini VICTORIA.

Some of the finest and most popular luxury motor yachts for charter in the Balearics could be seen in Palma as well: among others  35 m Heesen ALCOR, 27 m Maiora QUO VADIS, the Sunseeker HOOLIGAN, beautiful 41m ISA yacht AZIZA, the stunning 37 m Heesen AURELIA and 43 m Nicolini CD TWO. 29 m Horizon SMILES OF LONDON and 24 m Navalia LEVEL 8 (with a lot of Italian Chic) will both now have their first charter season in Mallorca.

The charter fleet of luxury yachts in Mallorca and Ibiza is growing fast, as is the Palma Superyachtshow…a good start to a promising charter season 2016.
