On April 30, 2025, Margalida Prohens, President of the Balearic Islands, officially opened the 41st edition of the Palma International Boat Show (PIBS), marking a historic milestone with a record 304 exhibitors. The event, held at Palma’s Moll Vell and the newly expanded Club de Mar, runs through May 3 and showcases over 600 vessels, including approximately 100 superyachts exceeding 24 meters in length.​

This year’s significant addition is the Superyacht New Build Hub at Club de Mar, featuring around ten custom-built sailing yachts over 40 meters and eleven land-based exhibitors specialising in luxury yacht services and equipment. Visitors can traverse between the two exhibition areas via a five-minute shuttle boat ride, enhancing the overall experience.​
