This was the 14th Horus Super-yacht Cup with 18 of the worlds most impressive sailing super-yachts gathered for a 4 day regatta in the Bay of Palma. Palma is one of the few venues in the world where yachts of this caliber gather. Sojana, a 35 meter ketch came to Palma from Antigua and Mari Cha III travelled some 13,0000 kilometres from Tahiti to take part.
The boats span a wide range of styles, sizes and ages too, The largest this year was Meteor at just over 51 meters. The boats are not designed for racing but there is plenty of competition with races over the four days of the event creating a great spectacle in the bay.
This year the event was given a new site along the old quay – the same venue as the Palma Boat Show earlier in the year.
Admittedly a few of the photos are not actually of the super-yachts … the fishing boat certainly isn’t, but they were decked out nicely for the event and made some nice photos …

Sorry to bother out site-users with this but it has come to our attention that a certain other website is copying original key lines of text and other ideas from our website. So if you come across a site that is presenting itself in a way that is remarkably similar to our own we’d like to be clear they are nothing what-so-ever to do with Mallorca Property Partners and should be treated with the credibility they deserve. We are all for some healthy competition but blatant copying of this nature is unprofessional and dishonest at best.
If you are the person responsible for this website it seems likely you will also be reading this blog as you’re monitoring our content so closely! Please be aware that an ongoing file is being lodged with our lawyers. It would be better however for everyone if you would simply remove the offending content and adopt a more original and professionally respectable approach. Then we can get on with our business without such unnecessary distractions.
San Juan is celebrated throughout Mallorca and indeed many other parts of Spain. It is a celebration of the shortest night of the year, the summer solstice. The event takes different forms in different locations – all however based around the central features of the sun, fire and water.
There are beach parties with bonfires, and celebrations in many towns with fireworks, fire runners (“Correfoc”) and music ranging from local folk bands to more popular and modern music.
In Palma de Mallorca the San Juan celebrations this year were in their usual location of Parc de Mar in front of Palma Cathedral.
Starting with folk music and dancing at 9pm, at 10.30 the entertainment moved on to the Correfoc and fireworks which were the centrepiece of the evening. Following this there was more music continuing through to the early hours.
Correfoc – the fire runners
The word Correfoc comes from “Correr” – to run, and “foc”, which is fire in Catalan. Correfocs are spectacular events whereby “fire devils” run through the streets and interact with the crowds whilst playing with fire staffs and various fireworks.
The devils are playful sprites rather than evil spirits – they taunt the crowd in a playful fashion, usually to the hypnotic sound of drums and demonic chanting. Whilst the Correfoc looks decidedly dangerous and it is best to be reasonably cautious while watching or taking part – there are generally few accidents and injuries are slight!
