Standout superyachts attending the 2021 Palma Superyacht Show

Borkumriff IV is the biggest superyacht by length attending this year’s Palma show, and perhaps the most distinctive in appearance. Delivered by Royal Husiman Shipyard in 2002 to a design by John Alden, this classic-inspired modern schooner offers all the charm and appeal of a traditional yacht while being equipped with the comforts of modern-day amenities. She still belongs to her original owners and has been meticulously maintained to ensure optimum performance at sea. Her interiors, designed by John Munford, are as classic-looking as the exterior and can accommodate up to six guests and nine crew members. She comes equipped with two tenders and can reach a top speed of 12.5 knots under the power of her 1,057hp MTU engine, offering a cruising range of 3,200 nautical miles at 10 knots.

Borkumriff IV is listed for sale with Hoek brokerage with an asking price of €14,900,000, VAT paid.

At 44 metres, San Bernardo is the largest motor yacht that will be visiting the Palma Superyacht Show in 2021. Delivered in 2010 by Heesen, she is both stylish and speedy. Within her sleek exterior she offers an interior volume of 458 GT and more than enough space on board for a range of amenities including a convertible upper saloon that can function as a sixth guest cabin, a fold-out beach club and an upper deck lounge complete with a fully equipped hot tub and cocktail bar to boot. Her interiors, which were last refitted in 2018, offer accommodation for 12 guests. Despite her extensive facilities, San Bernardo can reach a swift top speed of 25 knots under the power of two MTU engines.

San Bernardo is listed for sale with IYR with an asking price  €14,350,000.

Attendees at the Palma Superyacht Show will be able to spot La Cattiva from afar thanks to her distinctive dark hull and bold blue sails. The 37 metre, bluewater cruising ketch was designed by naval architect Ed Dubois and has been constantly upgraded and refitted since her delivery in 1991, most recently having had her rigs refreshed and repainted in 2020. Her interiors, designed by Terence Disdale in a classic style, can accommodate eight guests in a versatile four cabin layout, including a full-beam master stateroom. Highlights on board include a hot tub, a range of water toys including fishing and scuba diving gear stowed away in her toy box, and a BBQ grill.

La Cattiva is listed for sale with Ocean Independence with an asking price of €2,950,000.

The 37.5 metre sailing yacht Alexa of London is visiting the Palma Superyacht Show as a charter yacht, with her summer cruising season set to see her explore Naples, Siciliy, Corsica, Sardinia, The Balearics and more over the summer. Delivered in 1992 by Gdansk Yacht Builders, this gaff-rigged cutter cruises at a comfortable speed of nine knots. Her interiors, designed by Joerg Koehneke and last refitted in 2018, can accommodate six adults with an additional twin room for two children and cabins for five crew. Her toybox carries waterskis, wakeboards, paddleboards and snorkelling gear, plus Williams Sportsjet 460 tender for transporting guests to and from the shore.

Alexa of London is managed for charter by McMaster Yachts with a weekly charter rate starting from €45,000 per week.

Named after the 1979 James Bond film, Moonraker was once part of the James Bond-themed portfolio of superyachts belonging to American multi-millionaire John Staluppi. Refitted earlier in 2021, the 35.27 metre Moonraker was first delivered in 1992 by Norship to a design by Mulder and was originally launched to reach a top speed of just over 60 knots – although today she is cruising at a top speed of around 33 knots under the power of her twin 3480 hp 16V3engines. She can accommodate eight guest and four crew, and features al fresco dining spaces, a dedicated sunbathing space and a generous sundeck complete with a drinks bar.

Moonraker is managed for charter by Morley Yachts with a weekly charter rate starting from €32,000.

While many of the other sailing yachts attending the Palma Superyacht Show this year are modern recreations of classics, Iduna is the real deal, having been delivered by Feadship shipyard way back in 1939. The classic 34 metre yacht was considered the largest auxiliary ketch in Holland at the time of her build and remains a very special piece of maritime history today, with her last refit having taken place in 2020 to ensure she stays in prime condition. Her interiors by De Voogt, finished in warm, wood panelling can accommodate six guests and four crew and offer both indoor and outdoor dining spaces.

Iduna is jointly listed for sale with Ocean Independence and Holland Yacht Connection with an asking price of €4,800,000.
