Marina Port de Mallorca will host the Superyacht New Build Hub at the 2026 edition of the Palma International Boat Show, marking a significant step forward for the initiative and further strengthening Palma’s role within the global sailing yacht new-build ecosystem.
The Superyacht New Build Hub is a dedicated exhibition space designed to bring together leading international shipyards, designers, specialist suppliers, and service providers focused on the construction of large sailing yachts. Its relocation to Marina Port de Mallorca underlines the marina’s growing reputation as a facility capable of supporting complex new-build projects within the Mediterranean.
The hub will feature twenty premium berths for sailing yachts ranging from 30 to 60 metres LOA, alongside a shoreside exhibition area hosting more than twenty companies specialising in new-build sailing yachts and related industries. This will make the New Build Hub the largest showcase of large sailing yachts ever presented at a boat show, offering an unprecedented concentration of expertise, innovation, and high-end projects in one location.
Following a successful first edition held at another site within the port of Palma, the move to Marina Port de Mallorca represents a new phase in the consolidation of the Superyacht New Build Hub. The marina offers a modern and highly functional setting, seamlessly connected to the city of Palma and the wider Palma International Boat Show venues.
The Superyacht New Build Hub was created to support and stimulate the local yachting industry by attracting both yachts and clients to Palma.
“The New Build Hub exhibition at Marina Port de Mallorca will be the largest showcase ever seen at any boat show of large sailing yachts for sale or charter. Sustaining Palma’s status as a world-leading sailing destination depends on our commitment to the yacht-building industry. Palma International Boat Show is no longer just another boat show in Spain, but the country’s flagship event, now standing proudly alongside leading international shows such as Cannes, Monaco and Genoa,” says Arne Ploch, Director of Palma Superyacht Village.
“Marina Port de Mallorca is pleased to host the Superyacht New Build Hub this year and delighted to be partnering with Palma International Boat Show. We firmly believe in supporting projects that create real synergies between shipyards, professionals and yacht owners, while anchoring Marina Port de Mallorca’s position as a venue equipped to host large-scale projects and actively partnering with initiatives that help shape the future of the international yachting industry,” adds Patrick Reynes, CEO of Marina Port de Mallorca.
“The arrival of the Superyacht New Build Hub at Marina Port de Mallorca also provides an opportunity to connect yacht owners, shipyards and specialist companies with a marina that offers the technical capabilities, services and location required to support new-build projects from their earliest stages,” explains Isabel Martínez, Sales Director at Marina Port de Mallorca. “This hub strengthens our position within the superyacht industry and cements the marina as a natural meeting point for the new-build ecosystem in the Mediterranean.”
For IPM Group, the parent company of Marina Port de Mallorca, this initiative reflects a clear commitment to advancing the yachting industry by creating platforms that foster innovation, raise the visibility of new projects, and encourage collaboration across the sector.
The previous edition of the Superyacht New Build Hub attracted a strong line-up of international shipyards and brands, including Baltic Yachts, which showcased its innovative Canova and Pink Gin Verde projects, as well as Southern Wind with Kiboko 4. This level of participation firmly established the hub as a dedicated meeting point within Palma International Boat Show. The list of shipyards and exhibitors participating in the 2026 edition will be announced in the coming months.
With this new partnership, Marina Port de Mallorca further enhances its role as a strategic infrastructure for major yachting projects, complementing its berthing capacity and technical services with an active contribution to one of Europe’s most important yachting events.
