Follow on Google News | Expansion for Palma International Boat Show 2014Following a record-breaking 2013, organisers of the 31st Palma International Boat Show have expanded exhibition space on land and in water to create “probably the most successful boat show in the last five years”. It runs from 30 April - 4 May.

Meanwhile the new pier configuration will increase the number of berths overall from 110 in 2013 to 200 in 2014. Once again superyachts, for sale or for charter, will have a major presence, with vessels up to 70 metres in length on display. Regattas, tapas and other cultural events will also enhance the Show. Guy finishes, “Taken in the context of a stream of good news for Balearic boaters this year including a relaxation of onerous yachting licences for Spanish owners, the removal of the dreaded Matriculation Tax on larger charter boats (http://www.marinaestrellacharter.com/ For more information on Palma International Boat Show 2014, contact Marina Estrella on phone: (+34) 971 677 125, email portals@marinaestrella.com or visit www.marinaestrella.com -ends- for further press information or photography please contact Sarah Drane on sarah@purplecakefactory.com or call 00 34 607 564 726 End
