The Superyacht Cup Palma Richard Mille has opened entries for 2027, reporting strong early interest.
The news follows last year’s landmark 30th anniversary, which celebrated three decades of owner-led racing excellence.
Established in 1996, the regatta is Europe’s longest-running superyacht event. Each year, it brings some of the world’s largest sailing yachts to Mallorca.
Owners, guests and crews gather in the Bay of Palma for competitive racing and a lively shoreside programme.
The event pairs professional race management with reliable sea breezes and an informal social atmosphere in historic Palma.
After racing, the private Race Village gives owners, guests, sponsors and sailors a place to meet and socialise.
