Fifteen iconic Oysters took part in the Oyster Palma Regatta 2023 from the 4-8th September. The fleet of luxury bluewater cruising yachts, from 50 to 90 foot in length, took part in a series of different race formats over the four days of racing. The racing, run in true Corinthian spirit, was managed by the Oyster Yachts in-house team who ensured that the race was fun and fair for all racing abilities.
This was the first year that the Oyster Palma Regatta was held at the Philippe Starck designed Port Adriano. One of the most modern marinas in the Mediterranean, the facilities at Port Adriano provided an exceptional base for the Oyster Yachts fleet and the super yachts that are based there.
Oyster Yachts celebrated its 50th Anniversary this year and held a dinner at La Terraza in the marina of Port Adriano to mark the occasion. It was an emotional evening giving owners the ability to reflect on past, present, and future. The event also included speeches from Richard Matthews on the origins of Oyster, David Braben spoke about the Oyster owner experience, while Richard Hadida and Ashley Highfield spoke on the present and future of Oyster Yachts.
