May 2024 – Yacht Events, Market Insights and More
May 21st, 2024
The sailing season is now upon us, and all our Berthon offices are buzzing with activity.
The Palma International Boat Show, as always, was a fabulous event. We showcased the Classic Hoek 82 SWEET EMOTION and the Y8 PEREGRIN at the Palma Superyacht Village. The show offered a unique opportunity to engage with fellow industry professionals, yacht owners, and buyers at the heart of the Mediterranean’s yachting scene. Come rain or shine, Palma always provides a vibrant atmosphere and a stunning backdrop for this unmissable boat show.
Team Berthon Solaris, Alan McIlroy, and Richard Baldwin are spending lots of time at the Solaris shipyard in Aquileia, working with prospective Solaris owners. The yard is a busy and exciting place with new yachts under construction and commissioning. They have also been busy with Berthon Solaris owners taking delivery of their new Solaris yachts ahead of the summer. Of course, the Solaris Days & Solaris Cup event is now imminent and will take place from May 23rd to 26th in Porto Rotonda, Sardinia. Ahead of the Solaris Regattas scheduled for the weekend, prospective Solaris yacht owners are welcomed to Porto Rotonda to preview the fleet and to participate in sea trials and training sessions. For further information, please contact Alan McIlroy at alan.mcilroy@berthon.co.uk.

World Cruising Club ARC Bluewater Open Days Go International! | If you are thinking about taking part in an ARC Rally, these open days are seriously useful events. The yearly Open Day hosted by Berthon at our Lymington HQ is scheduled for Saturday, 22nd of June, and registration is now open.

Discovery 55, COOL CAT – Her Transatlantic Voyage Home | Now positioned at our Lymington HQ to find new owners, her captain and crew have shared with us their experience and some lovely images of her voyage back from Grenada in the Caribbean. Encountering a significant storm on the approach to the Azores, this well-equipped Discovery 55 demonstrated her exceptional capabilities as a bluewater cruising yacht. COOL CAT underwent an extensive refit from 2020 to 2022 and has been meticulously maintained ever since. She is ready for more new owners and more cruising.
