Palma International Boat Show 2025 Guide | Edmiston VIP Experiences & Luxury Yacht Charters in Palma, Mallorca

Kickstarting the cruising season in the Mediterranean each year, the Palma International Boat Show is not only a sensational showcase of some of the region’s best yachts and charter grounds but it is also hugely beneficial to the local economy.

In 2024, the Palma boat show attracted more than 28,000 visitors across its four days resulting in an economic impact of more than €20 million and substantially boosting tourism in the region at a time of year when visitor numbers are relatively low.

This year, the 41st Palma International Boat Show (PIBS 2025) will take place from 30 April – 3 May 2025 at the Marina Moll Vell, Palma de Mallorca – the city’s most central and sought-after marina, overlooked by the Gothic Santa Maria cathedral.

Organisers Agencia de Desenvolupament Regional de les Illes Bealears (ADR Balears) are hoping to encourage even more spend in the region for PIBS 2025 as it prepares to reveal a spectacular lineup of luxury yachts, complemented by high-end services, and offering top-tier networking opportunities across a bigger exhibition space.

The show is open from 10am to 8pm on each of the Palma boat show dates, and with 295 exhibitors in attendance it is a must-visit for anyone looking to charter or buy a yacht in the Mediterranean this year.

Best Destinations to Explore from Palma by Yacht

A luxury yacht charter in Palma de Mallorca has the benefit of setting off from a prime Mediterranean location, making it a magnet for yacht charters in the Balearics, with easy access to the isles of Ibiza, Formentera, Menorca and Mallorca.

Before setting off, spend a day or two exploring the attractions of the capital of the Balearics itself, including the atmospheric Old Town and the designer boutiques of the Passeig de Born.

From here, you have your pick of the Balearic Islands: Ibiza and Formentera are essential stop-offs for charter guests looking for the perfect blend of nightlife and tranquility, while Menorca’s hidden coves, which are home to secluded beaches, and turquoise waters are ideal for laid-back nature holidays.

Meanwhile, Mallorca’s west coast is defined by its dramatic cliffs that are home to charming villages like Deià, and it holds the honour of being the king of the food scene in this part of the Med, with more Michelin-starred restaurants than any of the other isles.

And with a captive crowd of luxury-minded travellers, Mallorca and its surrounds are also home to myriad cool beach clubs, luxe resorts, and serene spas which charter guests can unwind in following a day exploring the region’s rich cultural assets.

Located in the heart of this cruising region and scheduled for the start of the season the Palma International Boat Show is an unmissable event for luxury yacht enthusiasts.
