Following a decision made by a new organising committee appointed by the Balearic government, the 29th Palma International Boat Show has been rescheduled for April 2013.

Palma International Boat Show held in a popular Spanish yacht charter location - Palma de Mallorca

The Palma show has always been run by a government department which is in place to manage several trade and tourism fairs on the island each year.

The recently elected local government in Palma had taken the approach of directly involving senior figures from the significant local yachting sector.

The guiding principles behind the organising committee’s remit are to ensure the Palma Boat Show can be economically viable, providing a value platform for exhibitors, and presenting a vibrant informative event for visitors.

The majority opinion of the committee, which included presidents of the nautical business associations, yacht brokers and marina management, was that all of these objectives could be most adequately met by utilising their joint resources, and having the time to plan for a really successful Palma Boat Show in 2013.
