When the Mediterranean Superyacht Forum (MSF) returns to Palma de Mallorca this April (28 and 29), it will do so with a renewed sense of purpose. Hosted for the third consecutive
year by the Balearic Marine Cluster (BMC), the forum has steadily evolved into a key Mediterranean meeting point for the superyacht industry. This year, however, BMC is introducing
a fundamentally different setup, designed not just to stimulate discussion, but to deliver concrete, actionable outcomes.
“The Mediterranean Superyacht Forum was never conceived as another conference,” says Pedro Suasi, Cluster Manager at Balearic Marine Cluster and Founder of the Mediterranean
Superyacht Forum. “It was designed as a space where the industry can slow down, listen to itself, and work collectively on the challenges that truly matter.”
Taking place over two days, the MSF will bring together shipyards, marinas, owner representatives, captains, brokers, designers, managers, investors and innovators from across the
superyacht value chain. While the breadth

When Amels unveiled its Limited Editions concept in 2005, it quietly rewrote the rules of semi-custom yacht building. Two decades on, the formula is more compelling than ever and
nowhere is this evolution more clearly expressed than in the Amels 60; a yacht conceived for adventure, family and charter and engineered to deliver long-term value.Now seven
delivered hulls into the series, the Amels 60 has matured into a strategic lifestyle investment, combining proven naval architecture with a level of personalisation that allows
each yacht to feel distinctly its own. The latest example, Memories, reflects not only the accumulated experience of the shipyard, but also the insight of owners, captains and
brokers who have shaped the platform since its inception.

The first superyacht in the series was delivered in 2024 and established the architectural language of the 50Steel line. In this latest unit, the platform reaches a new milestone
as it becomes the first to incorporate a green methanol reformer fuel cell system, developed with Siemens Energy - the first application of this technology on a superyacht,
designed with a precise mission: by reforming green methanol into hydrogen, which is then converted into electrical energy, the system allows the yacht to power all hotel functions
without running the main engines or diesel generators.The system can produce up to one hundred kilowatts and can cover roughly ninety percent of a yacht’s typical operational
profile at anchor with zero emissions. This places the yacht ahead of the regulatory curve at a time when the International Maritime Organization is preparing to enforce a twenty
percent emissions reduction by 2030.
