Superyacht New Build Hub to bring together shipyards, specialists in new sailing yachts and all related industries.
Marina Port de Mallorca will be the new home of the Superyacht New Build Hub at the 2026 edition of Palma International Boat Show. This dedicated space will bring together some of the world’s leading shipyards in sailing yacht construction and related industries, bolstering Marina Port de Mallorca’s position as a marina equipped to host projects linked to the new-build segment in the Mediterranean yachting ecosystem.
Superyacht New Build Hub Debuts
The Superyacht New Build Hub will feature twenty premium berths for sailing yachts between 30 and 60 metres LOA, as well as a shoreside exhibition area for more than twenty companies specialising in new-build projects and related services. Following its first edition last year at another location within the port of Palma, the hub’s move to Marina Port de Mallorca marks a new step in consolidating the initiative, offering a modern, functional setting seamlessly connected to the city and the rest of the event venues.
The Superyacht New Build Hub is an initiative to support the local yachting industry, aimed at attracting more boats and customers 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.
Connecting Owners, Shipyards, and Industry Professionals
“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”, says 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 provides the technical capabilities, services and location needed to support new-build projects from their earliest stages”, explains Isabel Martínez, Sales Director at Marina Port de Mallorca. “This hub bolsters our position within the superyacht industry and cements the marina as a natural meeting point for the new-build ecosystem in the Mediterranean”.
Advancing Yachting Through Strategic Industry Platforms
For IPM Group, parent company of the marina, this commitment reflects a clear ambition to advance the yachting industry by creating platforms that foster innovation, raise the profile of new projects and encourage industry-wide collaboration. In its previous edition, the Superyacht New Build Hub attracted top-tier shipyards and brands from around the world, including Baltic Yachts, which unveiled its cutting-edge Canova and Pink Gin Verde models, and Southern Wind with Kiboko 4. This line-up of industry leaders firmly established the space as a dedicated meeting point within Palma International Boat Show. The shipyards and exhibitors taking part in the 2026 edition will be announced shortly.
With this new partnership, Marina Port de Mallorca is enhancing its role as a strategic infrastructure for major yachting projects, complementing its berths and services with an active role in one of Europe’s most important yachting events.
