On the evening of Saturday 5 October, the beautiful 172ft modern classic was the venue for our first Night Of The Islander. She was moored in Club de Mar, surrounded by other impressive yachts with the Islander flag proudly waving from her stern. Our guests were our business members. Though her deck is vast, the number of guests had to be limited, which added to the exclusive feel of the event.
Food was provided by Plant Shack, drinks by Santina and additional decoration by Flower and Power. Lio sent their resident DJ Sergio Marx whose tunes were the final layer of stardust spread over our impressive setting.
With 60 wonderful people all enjoying each other’s company and the unique surroundings, the deeper values of what The Islander is all about became almost tangible.
At one point we shouted in unison ‘I’m an Islander!’
The Islander is about bringing people from our yachting industry and our beloved island together to create opportunities for wonderful synergies. We are about showing, from Mallorca to the world, what Mallorca is truly all about.
And the successes that we make towards those goals, with the help of our advertisers, are what we celebrated on that first Night Of The Islander.
Around 10:30pm our guests who were all in high spirits, walked across the Paseo Maritimo towards Lio where they were welcomed on the highest balcony to enjoy the world class dinner spectacle. When the show was over we all took to the dancefloor. To know what happened next… you had to be there!
