Nautical Updates from Mallorca.               25-04-2013
From www.Events-In-Mallorca.com 

With Palma Boat Show / Mallorca Nautical Week less than a week away major exhibitors are confirming their line-up of boats on show. Nautical visitors to Mallorca will have a choice of venues – Palma Boat Show against the backdrop of Old Port Palma and the magnificent Gothic Cathedral and the ultra-modern Philippe Starck designed Port Adriano superyacht marina. Palma with a myriad of restaurants and bars with character and quality food at all price levels. Port Adriano with modern restaurants and boutiques overlooking exotic superyachts.

Destined to be a major attraction at Palma 2013 is the new Pearl 75 which made her debut at Southampton Boat Show in September. "The latest Pearl flagship brings together sumptuous space with luxurious styling and outstanding levels of comfort ". The Pearl 75 has generated much praise from yachting journalists during recent sea trials in the Bay of Palma. Pearl MD Iain Smallbridge confirmed that the Pearl 75 has been produced in response to the demand from existing clients to go bigger. It is the first in a planned series of flybridge models. The use of pod drives makes for increased fuel efficiency and allows more space for a spacious interior – the product of collaboration with world renowned British interior designer Kelly Hoppen MBE. The increased space also facilitates the incorporation of a garage. The pod drives and joystick controls make for excellent manoeuvrability and make the Pearl 75 suitable for owner operation without the need for a professional crew. A Pearl 65 flybridge craft is in the pipeline. Iain confirmed that despite the recession the Pearl order book is looking good. More Info.

Jamie Collins, Director of Operations for Oyster Yachts in Mallorca, says, “Having Penelope in Palma gives the general public and the marine industry the first real opportunity to see an Oyster superyacht in the flesh. More a small ship than a large yacht, she is eye-catching, performance orientated and boasts generous internal volumes. Initial feedback on her, and predecessor hull number one Sarafin, has been extremely positive and we hope to welcome onboard plenty of new faces in May.” The Oyster flagship has also been nominated in the World Superyacht Awards.  More Info.
