The Superyacht Cup Palma Richard Mille will return to the Bay of Palma next June, with entries now open for the 2027 edition and early interest pointing towards another exceptional fleet.
Following this year’s 30th anniversary event, Europe’s longest-standing superyacht regatta is looking ahead to 2027 with the prospect of a diverse and competitive fleet, including four iconic J Class yachts, returning multihulls and a dedicated YYachts division.
Velsheda, Svea, Rainbow and Hanuman are all expected to take part, bringing together four Js at the event for the first time since 2022.
“The Superyacht Cup Palma Richard Mille has always been a popular event with the J Class, and the prospect of seeing four Js racing together next year is particularly exciting,” said Louise Morton, Class Secretary at the J Class Association.
“The Bay of Palma offers wonderful racing conditions, and with four yachts on the start line we can look forward to some very close competition. It should be a fantastic spectacle.”
Meanwhile, two successful additions to the 2026 anniversary regatta – the dedicated Multihull Class and YYachts division – are set to return next year, reflecting the event’s continuing evolution and its appeal to an increasingly diverse superyacht racing community.
The Superyacht Cup Palma Richard Mille will again race out of Club de Mar–Mallorca, the event’s prestigious host marina, bringing the entire fleet together in the heart of Palma, the home of Mediterranean superyachting.
The Superyacht Cup Palma’s valued association with Title Partner Richard Mille continues into 2027, reinforcing shared values of performance, precision, innovation and excellence, and building on the success of the partnership at this year’s regatta.
“Last June was a very big moment for all of us at The Superyacht Cup Palma Richard Mille, and it was a marvellous celebratory event,” said Owner and Event Director Kate Branagh.
“Following the success of the anniversary regatta, it was an easy decision to bring back the multihulls and YYachts alongside our long-standing superyacht divisions, and the early interest suggests we have made the right choice. Add to that the prospect of four J Class yachts racing together on the Bay of Palma, and I think we have all the ingredients for another fantastic event next June.”
Among the multihulls expected to return are Highland Fling and Layla, while Seasmoke could make its debut in the YYachts division.
Also expressing interest are a mix of returning yachts and potential newcomers – a combination that has long been a celebrated feature of The Superyacht Cup Palma: Archelon, Atalante, Aurelius, Cervo and Win Win, the 33m Baltic yacht which claimed her third overall victory back in June.
The Notice of Race for The Superyacht Cup Palma Richard Mille 2027, taking place from 23–26 June, is now available, with entries officially open for what promises to be another memorable edition of Europe’s longest-standing superyacht regatta.
