The event previously known as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4309" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Palma Superyacht Show (Company)">Palma Superyacht Show</a>, will take place from 28th April to 1st May 2022 in the heart of Palma de Mallorca at Moll Vell Marina. The familiar and popular show offers an excellent display of superyachts above 24 metres that are available on the international brokerage and charter market.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/222707/image/large-a6bb6814f9d5cf95e711cd923b1c410f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/222707">When it comes to chartering, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6679" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Palma Superyacht Village (Company)">Palma Superyacht Village</a> is one of very few shows that welcome clients to inspect the yachts, instead of allowing access only to brokers. In addition, a wide variety of local and international refit and service companies will be at their booths, ready to do business and network with both old and new customers.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/222712/image/large-8bcc04b8a0b8fafd1fedae889e03de1f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/222712">&nbsp;The exhibitor bookings show a strong recovery from the pandemic-induced slowdown last year. &nbsp;From early March, the dock-side exhibition was just about fully booked, and much like the previous events, there is an important element of loyalty with a high percentage of returning exhibitors. Although the space is limited at the downtown harbour, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6679" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Palma Superyacht Village (Company)">Palma Superyacht Village</a> has always searched for ways to respond to the needs of the different segments of the industry. In 2017, the event saw the introduction of a Refit &amp; Repair Area which has since grown in popularity and is currently the first area to get booked up.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/222891/image/large-4403feb048bdc658d77e078bda544423.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/222891">This year sees the launch of yet another new concept, a crew area with a strong emphasis on professional training, crewing as a career and of course relaxed networking between professionals. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6679" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Palma Superyacht Village (Company)">Palma Superyacht Village</a> has teamed up with Acrew, a well-known Palma based professional network of over 15,000 captains and crew, to set up a training and networking hub on the Esplanade.

Brokerage yachts are normally booked very late for the simple reason that the availability status can change at a moment's notice, but this year the situation is different – never before have the yacht bookings been so active so early on. Owners, yacht managers and captains of large, deep-keeled sailing yachts know that they need to plan ahead if they want to make sure to get a mooring in the limited exhibition area, therefore some of the biggest and most spectacular sailing yachts have been among the first ones to secure their space at the superyacht exhibition.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/222892/image/large-89a7d36c2401629716b1a85062136be6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/222892">On display will be the 34-metre yachts <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1057" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Song of the Sea34.34m (112'8&quot;)Nautor's Swan2002">Song of the Sea</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2988" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mystery34.34m (112'8&quot;)Nautor's Swan2000">Mystery</a>, both built by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/313" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nautor's Swan (Company)">Nautor's Swan</a>, as well as the 34-metre Spiip and 40-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/242" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Surama40.64m (133'4&quot;)Royal Huisman Shipyard BV1997">Surama</a> both from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman Shipyard BV (Company)">Royal Huisman</a>.

Built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the Greek-flagged Suncoco sleeps up to eight guests in four staterooms. She was spotted cruising of Monemvasia in Greece over the weekend.

End of year superyacht sales roundup

As part of our history series in the SuperYacht Times newspaper from revered in-house yacht historian, Malcolm Wood, SYT take a closer look at yacht builders that are, for one reason or another, no longer in existence. This issue we turn to Lowland Yachts of Zoeterwoude, situated between Amsterdam and Rotterdam on the Oude Rijn waterway near Leiden.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165514/image/large-5e2738f7a401e39a83626a6d3f41386a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165514">Typical Lowland built kotter The Lowland Yachts yard was owned by the Van Vulpen family of the Netherlands, and was well established by the mid-1970s in building kotter-style motor yachts in steel. Sizes varied between 10 metres to around 15 metres in length at this time.It wasn’t until 1984 that Lowland delivered their first yacht greater than 18-metres, the 23.6-metre Wilverley II designed by leading Dutch designer Pieter Beeldsnijder for an owner from the Netherlands.Wilverley II is a traditionally styled motor cruiser with a steel hull, aluminium superstructure and teak decks. Accommodation is for six guests and three to four crew. Powered by twin 8-cylinder Gardner diesels each developing 230 hp, she had a top speed of 12 knots and a cruising speed of 10 knots. Her range was 2,000 miles at cruising speed.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165515/image/large-6a4a97e46be584968e782f0eca14bddf.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165515">Wilverley II,1984In 1985 Lowland completed three identical motor yachts of just over 20-metres in length, designed by Willem de Vries Lentsch Jr. with Pieter Beeldsnijder penned interiors. The company started to use the brand name Neth-Ship for these larger vessels.Lowland were now establishing themselves in the 20-metre plus motoryacht field with three units delivered in 1966 and another three in 1987. Two yachts were completed in 1988 and another two in 1989. This added up to a total of 14 vessels of between 18.6-metres and 28.7-metres delivered during the 1980s - not an insubstantial number on anybody’s watch and particularly at a time when the superyacht industry was vastly different to the one we know today. Included in this total of 14 yachts delivered was one Neth-Ship 76 named Full Circle that was designed by Frank Mulder and had its aluminium hull constructed by the De Amstel yard.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165516/image/large-5707de2883838e093d1c623edb77a150.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165516">The Neth-Ship 76 Full Circle completed in 1987Moving into the next decade, Lowland completed a further two motor yachts in 1990 – the 28.2-metre de Vries Lentsch designed Zela M and another Beeldsnijder designed vessel, the Neth-Ship 61.1991 saw the delivery of the 28.9-metre Mileanna and the first 30-metre plus yacht Anad for an Abu Dhabi-based owner. In 1992 the 31.5-metre Maine was delivered to a French owner. This yacht is now named Suncoco and is currently for sale.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165517/image/large-346a9d3923f1ba74cee57a9bc289e07a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165517"> The 31.5 m Suncoco delivered in 1992 In 1994 a Neth-Ship 87 named Olindia was completed and the last two 18-metre plus yachts, the 31.5-metre Astralium and the 32.2-metre Evnike were delivered in 1995 and 1996 respectively before the Van Vulpen family decided to close the yard in 1996. Sadly, Evnike was the last vessel to come out of the yard indefinitely.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165518/image/large-bcc0e9d818198ed4ccfbf747de522b0e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165518">Last vessel EvnikeDuring its existence, Lowland Yachts completed 22 yachts greater than 18-metres, quite significant for a small family firm. The company were always highly regarded as first-class builders of high quality yachts with most still in service today. At the time of writing it is unknown how many yachts the company built but perhaps it is an indicator that the last yacht delivered carried the hull no. 434.This article was featured in the SuperYacht Times newspaper. <a href="http://www.superyachtcompany.com/newspaper/the-superyacht-times-subscription" target="_blank">Subscribe now</a> to receive your copy straight to your door and never miss another issue.<a href="http://www.superyachtcompany.com/newspaper/the-superyacht-times-subscription" target="_blank"><img alt="[no-lb]" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165519/image/large-0562287100acdd09b6b6f9d2c96c9f73.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/161506"></a>
