Entries open for the 30th Superyacht Cup Palma as Europe’s longest-running superyacht regatta enters a new era
New and returning contenders, expanded class options — including multihulls for the first time — and a landmark anniversary in Palma, 24–27 June 2026.
The Superyacht Cup Palma — Europe's longest-standing superyacht regatta — will celebrate its landmark 30th anniversary in 2026, combining three decades of racing heritage with expanded class options that reflect the evolving world of superyacht competition. For its 30th edition, the regatta will again welcome its core superyacht classes, alongside J Class, Café Racer and Corinthian — and, for the first time ever, performance multihulls, opening a new chapter in the event’s history. With entries now open and strong early interest from both returning and first-time competitors, the 24–27 June 2026 edition is shaping up to be a celebration of the Superyacht Cup Palma’s heritage, paired with its trademark evolution and innovation. Event Director Kate Branagh said: “Superyacht Cup Palma has a long and remarkable history, and a key part of its success has been its ability to welcome both loyal returning yachts and new competitors, drawn by Palma’s unique setting and consistently professional race management. “At the same time, the regatta has evolved alongside the superyacht racing world — a balance that continues to attract new entries year after year.” Likely contenders once again in 2026 include the Baltic 108 Win Win, a previous SYC winner, and last year's Class A victor Gelliceaux and runner-up Cervo.
