As the Superyacht Cup Palma gears up for its 29th edition, the stage is set for an electrifying showdown on the waters of Mallorca. This iconic event – Europe’s longest-running superyacht regatta – will once again host a fleet of world-class sailing yachts, blending heritage, innovation, and fierce competition.
Here are six standout contenders set to light up the Med:
1. Linnea Aurora | 39.4m | SES Yachts | 2024
A brand-new Hoek-designed Truly Classic 128, Linnea Aurora is making her regatta debut. With cutting-edge racing upgrades, including EC6 rigging and “structured luff” tech, she’s a serious threat. As the first in her class with a selective catalytic reduction system, she also sets new sustainability benchmarks.
2. Cervo | 39m | Vitters | 2009
Returning to her racing roots, Cervo brings speed and pedigree. A carbon composite hull, powerful Southern Spars rig, and a sleek Pendennis refit make her a force to watch. Equal-sized staterooms and elegant Nauta interiors speak to her dual life as both racer and cruiser.
3. Vijonara | 38.8m | Pendennis | 2018
With her classic cutter rig and commanding bowsprit, Vijonara is a graceful powerhouse. A close second at the 2024 St Barths Bucket, she’s dialed in for performance in both light and heavy airs. Another standout from the Truly Classic family.
4. Atalante | 38.8m | Classen Shipyard | 2015
A seasoned campaigner with timeless style, Atalante combines elegance with race-ready features – 3Di sails, carbon rigging, and a highly strategic helm layout. After time away from racing, she’s hungry for the podium.
5. Gelliceaux | 35.4m | Southern Wind | 2023
Fresh from wins at St Barths, Ibiza JoySail, and the Giorgio Armani Superyacht Regatta, Gelliceaux arrives with momentum. A hybrid-powered, fast-sailing SW108, she’s lean, green, and mean. Her top speed of 16 knots and electric-diesel propulsion blend tech and tradition.
6. Rose | 24m | Wally | 2006
Two-time defending champion Rose is back to guard her title. With her flush deck, 45-metre rig, and an elite crew of 24, this carbon-built Wallycento delivers pinpoint performance. Expect fierce tactics and razor-sharp execution.
With Palma’s steady breezes and dazzling fleet dynamics, the 2025 Superyacht Cup promises thrilling action and timeless sailing spirit. Whether you’re a racing purist or a design enthusiast, this year’s lineup is as beautiful as it is battle-ready.
