Superyacht New Build Hub: details released ahead of Palma Boat Show
Marina Port de Mallorca
Marina Port de Mallorca will host the Superyacht New Build Hub at the 2026 edition of the Palma International Boat Show.
The dedicated area will bring together some of the world’s leading sailing yacht shipyards and associated industries, strengthening Marina Port de Mallorca’s position as a marina capable of hosting projects linked to the Mediterranean new-build superyacht sector.
The Superyacht New Build Hub will offer 20 premium berths for sailing yachts ranging from 30 to 60 metres LOA, alongside a shoreside exhibition area accommodating more than 20 companies specialising in new-build projects and related services.
Following its inaugural edition last year at an alternative location within the Port of Palma, the hub’s relocation to Marina Port de Mallorca represents a further step in consolidating the initiative, providing a modern, functional setting with seamless connections to the city and the wider show venues.
Arne Ploch, director of Palma Superyacht Village, says: “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.”
“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.
Located on Palma’s Paseo Marítimo and operated by IPM Group, Marina Port de Mallorca released its future roadmap prioritising energy efficiency and environmental stewardship under the motto: ‘a marina that breathes green and lives blue’ in September 2025.
“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”.
For IPM Group the 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.
