Palma Superyacht Show attracts global buyers

   www.superyachttimes.com    Thursday 7th May 2015
   By Gemma Fottles, Interview by Merijn de Waard   Tuesday, 5 May 2015

As the International Boat Show Palma draws to a close today, SuperYacht Times’ Merijn de Waard interviews Arne Ploch of Camper & Nicholsons International and one of the organisers of the Palma Superyacht Show. Arne talks about the how the show has changed in recent years, as well as reflects upon the possibilities for future development following the early sold out status of the event.

SYT: What has changed in Palma this year in comparison to last year?

Arne: We continued with the same concept and we increased the number of berths - last year we had 54 yachts, this year we have 62. We also have a little bit more life this year with the inclusion of Marc Fosh organising the restaurant in our area - he just got a Michelin star. Otherwise we have continued with the same concept; a Show made by the industry for the industry.

SYT: I have been here now for two days, and I get the feeling that there are quite a few clients and people who are seriously looking at sailing yachts, as in every size range you pretty much have a few different options.

Arne: Absolutely. It is the sailing yacht show, and I can’t think of any other show where you can find this amount of large sailing yachts. In this size range between 80 to 120 foot, you have a selection which is incredible. You can show a client eight yachts which would fit into what he is looking for, and that is amazing. We are a bit short this year on motor yachts, with more sailing yachts than motor yachts, but our aim is to have it 50/50.

SYT: So the aim is not to get as many sailing yachts as possible here?

Arne: Palma will always be a sailing yacht base and we will always attract more sailing yachts, but the show as such would like to have 50/50 motor and sailing.

SYT: The show is pretty full at the moment. Is there room for expansion?

Arne: We’re working on it. It’s very difficult and complex as all the show area belongs to different concessions, with STP shipyard on one side, there is the new Port Vell Marina, two differently managed charter quays and the fishing boat area, all joined together for this event. There is room, but we move slowly, maybe a few more berth for next year and so on. It sold out really early this year - by January we were already fully booked. Then we started with the waiting list, you get cancellations, yachts do not make it on time from the Caribbean, but yes, it’s fully sold out.

SYT: In terms of the size of the boats, are you looking at trying to get bigger yachts here?

Arne: I think we attract boats that are based in Palma, and Palma is not a base for 60+ metre yachts. Our market here is 80 foot up to 50 metres. We wouldn’t mind if we had some more larger yachts as well, and once we reorganise the area further inside the show, we will get bigger yachts inside the STP area in the 40 metre plus range, and the smaller yachts further in.

SYT: In terms of clients and buyers visiting the Show, is there a large German population as well?

Arne: It’s quite interesting, because in the first years of the Show we got a lot of local people which were predominantly the Germans, the English and the Scandinavians who have houses on the island. Now people are coming from quite far away; some South Americans are flying in, Russians - we have all sorts of people that are specifically coming for the Show. Yesterday I saw a Saudi client. He was in Europe, saw there was a boat show and he came over to Palma. So I think we have been getting the message out there, and are getting now clients from further away. I’m very positively surprised.

Palma Boat Show 2015.              30th April - 4th May  

Feedback from participants in Palma 2015 has been very favourable. Record numbers of visitors reported (some 40,000 estimated), some 180 boats on show and 207 exhibitors represented. Some exhibitor comments below:-

 

Arne Ploch of Camper and Nicholson, has played a leading role in the establishment of the Palma Superyacht Show which was established three years ago in Port Adriano and for the last two years has taken place alongside Palma Boat Show. Arne and his fellow organisers are widely praised for having rescued the ailing Palma Boat Show and having restored it to a Mallorca Lighthouse nautical event. Arne is well pleased with Palma 2015 / Palma superyacht Show 2015 - with no adverse reports. Now that the dual event is well established and more widely publised Arne has seen a move from a largely local visitor base to a much wider range of visitors with many prospective clients coming from across the world. With 67 superyachts on display prospective clients were able to view a range of broker or charter boats with similar specs - all in the same location. Arne was very happy with the coexistence of large boats and smaller vessels and services in the same venue. Palma is much more informal and friendly than the more serious Monte Carlo with an excellent ambience - also helped by the now open Moll Vell development with it's excellent range of eateries and nearby historic and gastronomic attractions. For 2016 Arne sees the refinement of the current successful formula based on the stability of the last two years and wider publicity for this spring event - with boats in the water and under sunny blue skies !!

Edward Oppenheimer of Port Adriano based Frauscher. Frauscher had two prestige motor yachts on display. Edward was well pleased with the volume of visitors particularly over the first two days with a mixture of visits from known clients and potential customers.

Matthias Ebert of Bavaria Spain was also well pleased with Palma 2015. Bavaria had a Bavaria Sport 44 HT Highline motor yacht and a Cruiser 46 sailing yacht on display with many more new and pre-owned yachts to view nereby at Club de Mar. Bavaria Spain, official distributor for Bavaria Yachts in Spain, presented its new information and service system called Bavaria+ consisting of four elements, BAVIS (Bavaria Information System), SHOP, CHECK and ACADEMY. The system - which proved popular with visitors - was demonstrated during the show on board of the prize winning Bavaria Cruiser 46, “European Yacht of the Year 2015” in category family cruiser. Every new Bavaria will be equipped with a boat specific QR-Code that can be scanned with a smartphone or tablet computer to allow for easy access to all the information (BAVIS) an owner or charter client might need. Short videos explain the control panel or the handling of the electric windlass. The check book (CHECK) for the new yacht is included in the package and also available online. And if the client is looking for additional equipment or a spare part, he can directly enter the SHOP to find, order and receive the desired items without complications. The fourth component (ACADEMY) will be coming soon and includes trainings for Bavaria dealers and other professionals as well as sea trials or skipper trainings for customers.   More Info.

Linda Zibala of Princess in Port Adriano reported that Princess
Motor Yachts were very well pleased with Palma 2015. Six boats were on display with the sale of two boats being finalised during the show. Visitor numbers were good with many serious potential clients from throughout Europe and in particular from the UK and Germany - no doubt assisted by simultaneous public holidays in Spain, UK and Germany. The extended Boat Show area and Moll Vell restaurant developments added to the improved ambience. The link up by Princess with Proa Premium Mallorca involving the display of the latest BMW models and cocktails by Purobeach proved popular with visitors as did the Princess Sunday "Late Night Event"  More Info  Princess report a busy few weeks ahead - Barcelona next week and then "Best of Yachting at Port Adriano" later in the month.

Nicolas Sierra of Alcudia based SEALINE had three models on display which attracted considerable interest and promising leads. Nicolas also welcomed the extended area and improved Moll Vell facilities.

Palma Boat Show 2016 will take place at Moll Vell Palma between Thursday 28th April and Monday 2nd May 2016.

Palma Superyacht Show Looks Forward to Third Edition

 

Having made its debut in 2013, the Palma Superyacht Show, in partnership with MYBA, is now a firm fixture on the yachting calendar.  Running concurrently with the 32nd Boat Show Palma, this Mediterranean season opener takes place from 30 April to 4 May 2015.

 

Jane Thompson, Coordinator of the Palma Superyacht Show, says, “Avoiding comparisons with Cannes or Monaco, the Palma Superyacht Show has established its own clear identity as a brokerage and charter show of excellence, perfectly timed before the summer season.  Designed to coincide with 1 May, a public holiday in most European countries, as well as the UK’s Monday ‘May Day’, we hope visitors will take a long weekend break in hospitable Palma, enjoy the sunshine and see a great selection of top quality yachts.”

 

The outlook is certainly good for the Show.  Providing a platform for charter and brokerage boats above 24 metres, both sail and motor, the 2015 Palma Superyacht Show is once more growing in size to cater to demand.  In 2014 a total of 34 service- and equipment-related companies occupied shoreside exhibition stands, for the third edition this will rise to 50.  There are also plans to up the number of superyacht berths.

 

“We are working hard to get more berthing space for the 2015 edition of the Palma Superyacht Show,” says Arne Ploch, Coordinator of the Show’s in-water display and Sales Broker for Camper & Nicholsons.  “There were 55 attending yachts in 2014 and we are going to try and fit in ten more.  With the Palma Superyacht Show now established as one of the most important brokerage and charter events before the summer, demand is high.  We were sold out in 2014 and expect the same again for 2015, but this time much earlier.  With five berth reservations already signed from those who didn’t attend the previous year, we can’t impress on potential exhibitors enough to book as soon as possible – particularly for charter as Spain is now fully open to foreign-flagged yachts and the market is burgeoning.” 

 

Several exhibitors have realised the sense of urgency and already reserved space for 2015.  Shipyard Astilleros de Mallorca and refinishing and chandlery business, Nautipaints, are among the early movers.

 

Jenny Maul from Astilleros de Mallorca, said, “The previous Palma Superyacht Show was a great success for Astilleros de Mallorca and we had a large stand.  The relaxed and positive atmosphere at provided a great platform for communicating and sharing information with many other companies, while our long-term customers were impressed by the Show’s fresh image and the presence of the best yachts available in the market for sale or charter.  The Show has obvious potential to flourish and establish itself in the coming years as one of the top events in the superyacht industry.  We’re looking forward to the next edition.”

 

Toni Salom, CEO of Nautipaints, exhibiting for the third successive year, said, “Palma is one of the most dynamic and competitive yachting refit destinations in Europe, and the Boat Show is a great opportunity to meet other companies involved in the nautical industry, so it’s only right that a well-organised Superyacht Show should also be based here.  We’re proud to be part of it.”

BYBA - Balearic Yacht Brokers Association


The Balearic Yacht Brokers Association organizes the Palma Superyacht Show in partnership with the Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association (MYBA).

The Balearic Yacht Brokers Association was founded in 2013 by the six major brokerage houses in Palma de Mallorca to organise a worthwhile local yacht show, in response to the success of the 2012 Port Adriano Superyacht Days event organised by the same companies.

The major brokerage houses have joined forces to make the Palma Superyacht Show a fixed event on the yearly boat show calendar and a good platform to promote yachts over 24 meters for brokerage and charter here in Palma de Mallorca.
