The final countdown is on to the start of Europe’s finest superyacht regatta 13th May 2019
With just over a month to go to the start of Europe’s longest standing superyacht regatta, final preparations are being made for the 23rd edition of the Superyacht Cup Palma. As owners, skippers and crews look forward to the opening day of the regatta on June 20, new entries are still joining the already impressive fleet. The most recent is the stunning Meteor, returning to the Superyacht Cup for the first time since 2007. At 51.5m the World Superyacht Award winning schooner is set to be the largest yacht at this year’s celebration of sail. Meanwhile, those returning to the event – such as 2018 competitors Missy, Velsheda and Win Win – will be able to take advantage of improvements to the always vibrant Race Village in the heart of Palma. The new-look village will provide more space for owners, guests and crews to enjoy the events and parties over the three-day regatta and will include dedicated areas for the Superyacht Cup’s many partners, friends and suppliers.
Among these are new event partner OMEGA, with the international luxury watchmaker welcomed aboard as Official Timekeeper, and Marinepool, the Superyacht Cup’s Official Clothing Supplier.
As ever, Event Director Kate Branagh and her team will aim to deliver the magical mix of on-the-water action and a relaxed social scene ashore that has proved such a success. And according to one regular participant it’s a blend that appeals directly to superyacht owners.
