PIBS closes its 41st edition with a record 304 exhibitors and 600 boats on display

This Saturday, May 3, is the last day to enjoy the fair that marks the start of the international boating season. The closing of the show will take place at 8:00 PM, and the boats will bid farewell with their horns.

The Palma International Boat Show, the event that kicks off the nautical season, comes to an end after four full days of activity. There’s still the entire Saturday to enjoy the showgrounds at Palma’s Moll Vell.

The closing ceremony of this special edition is scheduled for Saturday at 8:00 PM. This finale aims to symbolize the unity of all parties involved—exhibitors, visitors, and of course, the boats. As in previous years, the farewell to these four days of the boat show will be marked by the sound of the vessels’ horns.

The 2025 edition has been marked by numerous new features, including the Superyacht New Build Hub. With a record number of participating companies—304 exhibitors in total—the Palma International Boat Show continues to bring fresh highlights in its 41st edition.

Once again, regattas have taken center stage at PIBS 2025, along with exciting new offerings from exhibitors. This year’s edition has featured approximately 600 boats, 250 of them displayed in the water.

In addition, on Friday, April 2, the Marcial Sánchez Barcáiztegui Award was presented to businessman Toni Salom, a recognition that highlights his career and leadership roles at the helm of the Balearic Marine Cluster and Nautipaints.
