Opening the Mediterranean yachting season in style, the Palma International Boat Show will be taking place 29 April -2 May 2026 from Palma’s Moll Vell marina.
As one of the largest on-water boat shows in Europe with over 600 yachts in display from 270 plus exhibitors, the show merits the short flight from the UK to the stunning island of Mallorca.
From the show’s picturesque setting at the foot of a cathedral, the expert team from Sanlorenzo Yachts UK will be presenting an exquisite selection of yachts from Sanlorenzo, and Bluegame, a brand of Sanlorenzo.
Models on display from Sanlorenzo include: SD90, SP92 and the SL90A (offsite but available to view by appointment).
Yachts on display from Bluegame include: BGF45 and BG74.

The Board of Directors of Sanlorenzo, chaired by Mr. Massimo Perotti, has approved the preliminary consolidated results as of 31 December 2025, with results showing robust growth and record order intake.
“Our 2025 performance reflects the enduring strength of a brand deeply desired by connoisseurs worldwide and a vision being executed with consistency,” comments Massimo Perotti, Executive Chairman.
“We delivered on our guidance, achieved all financial targets, and recorded a sixth consecutive quarter of growth in Order Intake, continuing into a strong Q4 and providing us with further confidence in the soundness of our business model and strategic vision.
“In a market affected by short-term external unpredictable factors, Sanlorenzo continues to distinguish itself through positioning, innovation and scarcity – anticipating the needs of current and future owners increasingly motivated by wellbeing, longevity and quality-time scarcity value. The strength of our order book reflects the privileged and intimate relationship we nurture with a growing global club of owners who recognise themselves in our philosophy.
“We enter 2026 with a promising start, guided by our commitment to continuously advance yachting, inspiring and elevating our customer experience. We continue to champion elegance over extravagance, and innovation over novelty.
“We believe growth is the natural consequence of value over volume, discipline in quality and respect for our heritage. On this foundation, our journey continues.”
Sanlorenzo has launched the second unit of its revolutionary 50Steel, further consolidating the model’s position as one of the most forward-thinking concepts in the contemporary superyacht landscape.
With five units now fully allocated to clients, 50Steel has rapidly established itself as a reference point in the superyacht market below 500 GT.
The first 50Steel – Almax – was a landmark yacht that marked a true turning point for the industry.
With her launch and delivery in summer 2024, Sanlorenzo reaffirmed its pioneering spirit through a breakthrough approach to onboard energy: a green-methanol fuel-cell system converting methanol into hydrogen and then electricity to support hotel loads. This milestone strengthened Sanlorenzo’s position – not as a follower of trends, but as a shipyard capable of shaping them.
A key element of continuity across the 50Steel models is Sanlorenzo’s patented Hidden Engine Room (HER) system: a truly revolutionary layout concept redefining onboard space while keeping displacement under 500 GT.
By re-engineering the engine room, the traditional two-level configuration gives way to a horizontal arrangement of the propulsion systems and a new layout of technical areas on the under lower deck. This unlocks valuable volume on the lower deck, enabling the creation of an additional guest-focused lounge.
Launched from Sanlorenzo’s Superyacht Shipyard in La Spezia, Italy, the second unit combines the strong architectural identity sculpted by Zuccon International Project with interiors developed by Sanlorenzo’s renowned Style Department. The result provides a superyacht pairing a highly bespoke sense of space, atmosphere and comfort.
“The 50Steel line perfectly expresses Sanlorenzo’s approach to innovation,” says Tommaso Vincenzi, CEO of Sanlorenzo.
“From the first unit, it introduces pioneering solutions that anticipate where our industry is heading. The market response confirms that owners recognise this direction, not as an experiment, but as a credible and desirable evolution of the superyacht.
With the launch of its second 50Steel, Sanlorenzo continues to advance a clear vision for the future of the segment – one where design, technology and responsibility converge to create iconic yachts that do not follow trends but set new benchmarks for what comes next.

Three years after Equinoxe Yachts joined the Sanlorenzo Group, the Sanlorenzo Charter Fleet has firmly established itself as the world’s first and largest mono-branded charter fleet. What began with an initial portfolio of ten yachts has grown into a global offering of more than 60 Sanlorenzo yachts available for charter worldwide.
This significant expansion is the result of a strategic synergy between the Sanlorenzo shipyard’s long-term vision and Equinoxe Yachts’ decades of expertise in the charter sector, creating a benchmark model for luxury yacht charter operations.
“For over half a century, Sanlorenzo has been creating bespoke yachts that combine exclusivity, comfort and contemporary design, helping to set new quality standards in the high-end yachting sector,” says Alessandro Ussi, Managing Director and Co-founder of Equinoxe.
“The integration of Equinoxe’s expertise has made it possible to offer clients a premium, turnkey service, bringing together the excellence of Italian craftsmanship with a way of experiencing the sea in complete harmony with beauty.”
The Sanlorenzo Charter Fleet comprises a carefully curated selection of recently built yachts, strategically positioned across the world’s most desirable cruising grounds, including the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and the Pacific.
The Mediterranean continues to dominate charter demand, with Italy and the French Riviera standing out as the most sought-after destinations, reinforcing their status as icons of high-end yachting.
Analysis of charter activity reveals a strong preference for Sanlorenzo’s SD and SX series. The SD96 has emerged as the most requested model, followed by the SX88 and SD118, reflecting a growing demand for yachts that offer generous volumes, long-range capability and exceptional onboard liveability.
The fleet is increasingly appreciated by yacht owners, who value the operational benefits of regular charter use, including enhanced efficiency, maintained reliability and consistently high professional standards through an active, experienced crew.
Choosing the Sanlorenzo Charter Fleet offers more than access to a yacht: it delivers a fully bespoke charter experience, meticulously curated to reflect the individual preferences and expectations of each guest.

Palma is often admired for its golden light, Gothic cathedral, and relaxed island rhythm, but beneath its laid-back exterior lies one of the Mediterranean’s most sophisticated cultural and yachting destinations. Historic streets, contemporary design, and world-class marinas sit side by side, framed by the deep blues of the Bay of Palma.
Each spring, Palma International Boat Show signals the start of the Mediterranean yachting season. Held in the Marina Moll Vell beneath the city’s iconic cathedral, the show brings together superyachts, sailing yachts, and cutting-edge marine innovation.
Spring is one of the finest times to visit Mallorca: warm days, clear skies, and a calmer, more authentic atmosphere before the summer peak.
This guide highlights the very best of Palma, from historic quarters and local markets to refined dining, luxury hotels, and memorable island escapes.

Nearby, the Almudaina Palace offers a glimpse into Mallorca’s multicultural past.

Three exceptional yachts are available now – ready for the Mediterranean season
For many prospective yacht owners, the greatest obstacle to enjoying life on the water is not choice, but time. With many new-build order books extending well into 2027 and beyond, the opportunities to take delivery in time for this year’s Mediterranean season are increasingly rare.
However, for those ready to take the next step without delay, there is a more direct route to ownership.
Sanlorenzo Yachts UK currently has a select trio of in-stock and available now yachts, allowing serious buyers to bypass lengthy construction schedules and step onboard in time to enjoy the 2026 Med season in full.

The expansive stern area becomes the social heart of the yacht, while protective Strataglass covers ensure the helm and seating areas remain usable in challenging conditions. And the wheelhouse’s distinctive reverse windshield dramatically improves visibility and enhances the overall navigation experience.
True to Bluegame’s design DNA, the BG54 combines refined Italian styling with exceptional seaworthiness, making it a compelling choice for owners who want to cruise without compromise.
With this yacht available now, the pathway to immediate enjoyment – and an early start to the Mediterranean season – is clear.
Bluegame BGX63 – Available March 2026
A game-changing approach to a 60-foot yacht
The Bluegame BGX63 represents a bold evolution in yacht design, redefining how space, privacy, and connection to the sea are experienced onboard a yacht of this size.

The result is a layout perfectly suited to extended cruising and relaxed Mediterranean living.
This particular BGX63 is specified with a highly desirable three-cabin plus crew layout and includes an extensive list of premium options.

From 17-25 January 2026, Sanlorenzo Yachts UK will be at boot Düsseldorf, the world’s largest indoor boat show and a highlight of the yachting calendar.
Experience true Italian artistry as you step onboard the Sanlorenzo SD90, where craftsmanship meets timeless design.
Bluegame will be unveiling its new flagship, the BGX83. Measuring 25.6-metres in length, this incredible new yacht represents the long-anticipated evolution of the BGX range.
Embodying the pinnacle of owner-centric design, the BGX83 combines exceptional volume, seamless connection to the sea, and uncompromising functionality in one category-breaking yacht.
The expert team will be on hand for exclusive tours and personalised guidance throughout this incredible show in the heart of Düsseldorf.
For more information, assistance with how to get there, or to arrange a private appointment with the Sanlorenzo Yachts UK team during boot Düsseldorf 2026, please contact us via [email protected], call +44 (0) 2380 450 001 or use the booking form below.
Sanlorenzo opens 2026 at the boot Düsseldorf boat show (17-25 January) with a clear statement of intent, presenting design leadership, responsible innovation, and its unique philosophy for life at sea.
Underpinning this, Sanlorenzo will be presenting the SD90 — a model from its semi-displacement line, and a benchmark for intelligent cruising below 28-metres.
Entering the year with strong commercial visibility and one of the most diverse and desirable yacht portfolios in the industry, Sanlorenzo – the world’s leading maker of single brand yachts over 24-metres – continues to shape the segment through its blend of architectural thinking, Italian design culture and constant evolution.
Massimo Perotti, Executive Chairman of Sanlorenzo, says: “Boot Düsseldorf has always been one of the most important boat shows for Sanlorenzo, a strategic start to the year that allows us to begin 2026 with great momentum.
“This year we will be exhibiting the SD90, one of our models that embodies the principles on which our company is founded: the constant drive for innovation, refined and elegant design and respect for the environment.
“It is a very important start to the year for our entire family: Bluegame is presenting the new BGX83, while Nautor Swan is kicking off its 60th anniversary celebrations with the Swan 51 dual energy. These new offerings highlight the value of our Maison as a Monobrand of distinct brands, never overlapping and with a strong identity, which move forward with clarity: pioneers where it counts and faithful to what lasts over time.”
The SD90 represents a significant step in Sanlorenzo’s path towards greater sustainability in yachting. As a more compact gateway into the revamped SD line, this semi-displacement yacht is the third chapter in a success story that began with the SD96 and SD118.
With a hull length of less than 24-metres and an overall length of almost 28 metres, the SD90 represents a focused approach to efficiency – rethinking space, propulsion, insulation and materials to reduce consumption and elevate comfort.
The exterior lines, designed by Zuccon International Project, structure the yacht over two and a half decks, featuring an open flybridge, a lower deck, and a main deck. The layout is designed to guarantee the boat’s maximum liveability, introducing new solutions that give a totally new perception of space compared to other yachts in the same range.
This remarkable flexibility allows the yacht to adapt to the evolving needs of life onboard, transforming through innovative furnishing solutions and versatile configurations. This approach is matched by meticulous material research: the saloon’s bow wall, for example, is crafted in bronzed fluted glass, creating a refined effect that enhances its sense of depth.
The same attention to detail extends to the equipment and onboard systems, all carefully selected to guarantee high performance while reducing consumption. Advanced thermal and acoustic insulation further contributes to greater efficiency, ensuring comfort with minimal environmental impact.
With the SD90 on display at boot Düsseldorf, Sanlorenzo demonstrates to clients how it is leading an evolving industry through a constant process of research and innovation, aligned with Sanlorenzo’s roadmap toward alternative propulsion and reduced-impact cruising, while reaffirming its commitment to the European market at the strategic core of the brand’s growth.

A symbol of Italian excellence in yacht design, Bluegame will unveil its new flagship – BGX83 – on the opening day of the boot Düsseldorf boat show (17 – 25 January 2026).
The long-anticipated evolution of the BGX range, BGX83 is bigger, bolder, more functional and more luxurious than ever – representing the pinnacle of a design journey that has redefined contemporary yachting.
“BGX83 is the clearest statement of who we are today,” says Carla Demaria, CEO of Bluegame. “The very first units are already secured by clients prior to launch, to loyal Bluegame owners now embarking on their third Bluegame journey.
“This level of trust and loyalty is our greatest achievement, and it confirms that BGX83 is not just a flagship, but a milestone for the brand.”
The owner-centric approach
BGX83 embodies the pinnacle of owner-centric design, combining unprecedented volumes with uncompromising functionality.
The architecture of BGX83 offers significantly more space and volume compared to its predecessors, particularly in the stern. The signature beach area evolves into a bigger open-air lounge: in addition to the hydraulic up-and-down platform, the yacht now features a starboard side opening, expanding the width and enhancing the area’s connection to the sea.
Located at water level, the aft salon links directly to the beach area, creating a seamless flow between exterior and interior and allowing the aft salon to serve as a private extension of the owner’s suite. The full-beam master cabin – spanning an impressive 6.3 metres in width – connects directly to this salon, offering the owner a superyacht-level apartment with an outdoor feel. On this same level (and depending on the chosen layout) two or three VIP cabins offer generous dimensions that surpass their category competitors.
Well-designed, discreet crew quarters ensure impeccable service and onboard efficiency.
Designed for living
On the main deck, Bluegame leverages an asymmetric design featuring a single staircase on the starboard side to maximise the dining area. This creates space for a customisable outdoor bar and kitchen unit, adding a further layer of personalisation for the owner. Inside, the upper salon impresses with 360-degree glazing and two large opposing sofas, a layout choice that immediately conveys a superior class yacht aesthetic.
“With the BGX83, we pushed the crossover philosophy to its absolute limit,” comments Luca Santella, Founder and Head of Product Strategy at Bluegame.
“We created a genuine apartment on the water where the perception of inside and outside disappears. From the expandable beach club to the full-beam master suite, every line is designed to deliver a superyacht experience in an 83-foot yacht.”
Technical excellence and world class design
Debuting in Düsseldorf, BGX83 gives robust performance with three Volvo Penta IPS 1200 engines, delivering a cruising speed of 28 knots and a max speed of 30 knots.
This yacht stands as a testament to a powerful creative synergy between three defining figures in the industry. The project’s revolutionary concept originates from the vision of Luca Santella, who has pushed the crossover philosophy to its ultimate expression, anticipating the desires of the modern owner.
This vision is enveloped in the unmistakable exterior lines by Zuccon International Project, creating a sophisticated profile that evolves the brand’s DNA while maintaining its rugged elegance.
Completing the design trio and curating the interiors of this premiere unit, Piero Lissoni infuses the spaces with a high-concept architectural purity and a refined Italian character that perfectly balances the yacht’s bold external architecture.
Every element, materials, geometry, layout and spatial flow, has been conceived to deliver an experience unmatched in its category.
BGX83 is not simply Bluegame’s new flagship: it is poised to become the flagship for those who demand uncompromising design and purposeful functionality, because on this yacht every need is anticipated. Nothing is redundant, and nothing is missing.
