The final race for all will be on Saturday 22nd June and the event will be brought to a close with a spectacular Prize Giving Evening at Es Baluard Muesum of Contemporary Art overlooking the yachts and the Port of Palma.
For the first time in Palma all the yachts will carry tracking devices which enable spectators and keen followers in any location to view the races live via the website of the Superyacht Cup, the tracking has been kindly sponsored by Absolute Boat Care, Moll Vell Marina and UBS. The races will also be shown on a screen in the tent at the Race Village and can be watched via the website at any time after the race.
This year the grand tented bar and entertainment area is the focus for the social programme. Music and Entertainment will bring everyone together each afternoon after racing in the usual informal Superyacht Cup style.
