The countdown is on for one of the most relevant and collaborative events on the Mediterranean’s superyacht calendar. The Balearic Superyacht Forum 2025, held on April 29–30 in Palma de Mallorca, will bring together key players from across the industry to debate, create, and lead the transformation of the sector.
This year’s edition combines visionary panels, interactive hackathons, and high-level networking, all with one clear objective: to set the strategic course for the future of yachting.

At #TBSF25, we’re not just hosting panels — we’re building a platform for open, honest, and solution-driven conversations. The two-day programme is designed to spark innovation, challenge the status quo, and offer practical roadmaps for the issues that matter most.

💡 Business Hackathons: From Dialogue to Action
On the afternoon of April 29, TBSF 2025 will launch 10 sector-specific hackathons — agile working sessions designed to foster open discussion, rapid collaboration, and real-world solutions. Each participant will have the opportunity to choose the topic they care most about, join a group of peers, and contribute ideas and strategies to overcome current challenges in the industry.
These 90-minute sessions are true conversation spaces — not just for experts, but for all stakeholders who want to be part of shaping what comes next. The insights generated will feed into a shared strategic document, helping define the future roadmap of the Mediterranean’s superyacht ecosystem.
