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.
