Palma International Boat Show 2023
Palma International Boat Show has become a prominent event for the Mediterranean yachting season, this year, attracting 271 companies from all over the world and 32,000 visitors to Palma’s Superyacht Village. During the four-day event, visitors were charmed by the city’s rich culture, luxury, gastronomy, and beautiful weather, with temperatures peaking at 31 degrees Celsius.
The event transforms Palma into a nautical hub, where boat builders, nautical equipment suppliers, and international brands from the boating industry proudly display their products.
As a result, our presence at the event has become essential.
For the third year in a row, we participated to showcase our competitive edge and to demonstrate our commitment to delivering the best experience possible for our clients, because we take it personally.
At exhibition space SPY03, visitors had the opportunity to step aboard our magnificent boats and chat with our enthusiastic representatives, who were eager to answer any questions about our charter services. For those who missed the event or simply want more, let’s take a moment to summarize four unforgettable days of luxury, design, and innovation.
Boatsters Black's yachts on display at the PIBS 2023
Among the 600 impressive boats on display, we carefully selected the 20M RIVA VIRTUS 63 and 41M LÜRSSEN YACHT to showcase our wide range of services and flexible solutions. These two magnificent yachts left visitors with an impression of sheer luxury, with their different characteristics and purposes.
Aside from having these two boats physically on-site, visitors had the opportunity to virtually join our General Manager, David Ramljak, aboard the SEVEN Sanlorenzo SL90A for an exclusive tour.
ENVY: 41m Lürssen Yacht
ENVY, with her mighty 41 meters, exuded an elegant and powerful presence that captured visitors’ attention.
The boat welcomed guests on board to explore her spacious interior, endless possibilities, and peaceful atmosphere, transporting them to evenings out on deck with a loved one, where life happens, and you feel at home.
HEADQUARTERS: 20m Riva Virtus
On board the 20-meter Riva Virtus 63, visitors experienced the elegance and impeccable Italian design that exuded sophistication in every detail.
Despite being half the length of Envy, the Riva Virtus 63 offers ample space for up to 11 people to socialize comfortably in a spacious environment.
The boat’s elegant design is perfect for those looking to enjoy days at sea with friends and family.
The Virtual Reality lands at Boatsters Black
Although we couldn’t have the SEVEN, a Sanlorenzo SL90A physically present on-site, visitors could join David on an exclusive and intimate tour of the boat’s spaces through VR.
The 1-on-1 experience allowed visitors to dive right into the boat’s luxurious spaces.
Designed by Bernado Zuccon, the boat differentiates itself from most, with the port side passage eliminated, and the main deck saloon made larger, providing an unmatched connection to the beauty of the sea through floor-to-ceiling windows. The boat exuded extravagance in every detail and was a true masterpiece.
The virtual tour proved to be a great success, providing our visitors with an interactive experience. Our team took great care to ensure that the virtual tour offered a comprehensive overview of the SL90A and her unique features.
Creating deeper connections at the PIBS 2023
At our showroom, we aimed to provide a seamless experience for our visitors.
Coming to our stand would not only mean seeing our boats but to feel the service our clients experience from the first interaction. To accomplish this, we offered visitors the opportunity to touch and feel the boats in our exhibition area, and our collaboration with Lush Blush added an extra touch of elegance to their visit.
Beyond simply touring the boats, our representatives were available to answer any questions visitors had about our various services, such as different destinations, management arrangements, and extra services. We also had our personal concierge available onsite to discuss any potential VIP options with clients or contractors.
As a result of our appearance, we had the opportunity to be interviewed by both Superyacht Times and Superyacht Content, which gave us a chance to showcase who we are as a company and our future endeavours.
We wanted visitors to leave our showroom with a complete understanding of our company, our luxury yachts, and the level of service they could expect from us.
The VIP event on board ENVY
As the warm Mediterranean sun began to set on Saturday afternoon, a select group of guests stepped aboard our luxurious 41-meter Lürssen yacht for a VIP evening of pure La Dolce Vita.
The very phrase “La Dolce Vita” embodies the idea of living a simple, carefree life filled with happiness and joy – something that perfectly encapsulates the Envy experience. And what an experience it was – with live entertainment provided by the globally renowned jazz and opera singer, Marika Rauscher. Collaborating with Hans Zimmer, Marikas’ beautiful voice has been an important part in creating several iconic soundtracks for Hollywood movies such as Harry Potter, The Da Vinci Code, and War of the Worlds by Steven Spielberg.
As Marika’s enchanting voice filled the air, guests were treated to an exquisite world-class dining experience courtesy of our private chef below deck. The night was a perfect blend of delicious food and soulful music that created an atmosphere where the worries of the world melted away, and only happiness and relaxation remained.
In addition to the spectacular entertainment and sumptuous food, guests were also given ample opportunity to explore every nook and cranny of the Envy yacht in a meticulous and undisturbed manner. From the awe-inspiring decor and opulent furnishings to the state-of-the-art technology and facilities, guests were free to immerse themselves in the sheer luxury and extravagance of the yacht.
Whether they chose to unwind on the plush sofas, stroll on the expansive deck, or simply take in the breathtaking views from the boat’s many windows, the guests were free to roam and discover all that Envy had to offer. With the perfect balance of entertainment, cuisine, and comfort, it’s no surprise that the guests left with lasting memories of an unforgettable evening.
