The Balearics, epicenter of the international nautical sector with Mediterranean Superyacht Forum

The event will bring together industry leaders, captains, and key companies from the global superyacht ecosystem in Palma.

Palma de Mallorca will once again position itself as one of the main meeting points for the international nautical industry with the hosting of the Mediterranean Superyacht Forum 2026, which will take place on April 28th and 29th, just before the start of the Palma International Boat Show (PIBS).

Organized by the Balearic Marine Cluster, the forum reaches its third edition, consolidating its growth with a natural evolution that is also reflected in its new name. This change responds to a clear ambition: to expand its reach and strengthen its role as a strategic space where the industry not only meets, but also collaboratively builds its future.

Its timing, on the eve of PIBS, reinforces its role as a key preliminary meeting point, where ideas, strategies, and priorities are aligned ahead of one of the most important nautical events in the Mediterranean.

The Mediterranean Superyacht Forum will bring together professionals from across the entire superyacht value chain, shipyards, captains, refit and maintenance companies, brokers, designers, and institutions, in an environment designed to foster active participation and transform collective knowledge into concrete proposals.

Unlike other industry gatherings, the program focuses on direct attendee engagement, with Small Group Sessions (SGS) as the core of the event. These sessions, organized around three major strategic pillars, Destination, Business, and Commercial Strategy, allow participants to work in small groups on the sector’s main challenges, generating structured and actionable conclusions.

The program is complemented by keynote speeches that frame the industry’s major challenges, as well as think tanks that capture and elevate the conclusions from the working sessions, ensuring that the knowledge generated during the forum has a real impact beyond the event itself.

In addition, the forum will include the Innovation Exchange Session, a space designed to connect innovative solutions with industry companies, as well as the participation of international superyacht captains, key players in operational and strategic decision-making within the sector.

Hosting the Mediterranean Superyacht Forum in Palma reinforces the role of the Balearic Islands as one of Europe’s main nautical hubs, thanks to their combination of infrastructure, specialized business ecosystem, and strategic location.

With this new edition, the Balearic Marine Cluster continues to promote initiatives that strengthen the sector’s competitiveness, encourage collaboration, and position the Balearic nautical ecosystem as an international benchmark in shaping the future of yachting.
