Superyacht Charities Golf Event Palma de Mallorca 2025 | Supporting maritime causes

Since its inception in 2015, the Superyacht Charities has been on a mission to make a meaningful impact in the maritime world. With the dual goals of raising funds for critical maritime causes and enhancing the reputation of the superyacht sector, the foundation has achieved a remarkable milestone: raising over € 1,170,000.

We now run four annual events, which is quite incredible considering where we started and that all of our trustees who organise the events are volunteers and have their own businesses. The Superyacht Ball held in the spring is the first event of the year, followed swiftly by the Seafarers Supper in Palma, then in October the Superyacht Charities Golf Event Palma de Mallorca and finally the Antigua Sundowners on the first day of the Antigua Yacht Show. The Superyacht Industry is global in nature and our events in the UK, the Mediterranean and the Caribbean reflect that.

Superyacht Charities’ annual events are managed by volunteer trustees, who run their own businesses while supporting the foundation. The funds raised at each event are divided between the nominated charities for that event and also the SYC Cash4Causes action fund. Last year, € 23,800 from this fund, along with contributions from a GoFundMe campaign, went to aid relief efforts in Carriacou (Grenada) and Petite Martinique, areas devastated by Hurricane Beryl. The foundation’s efforts have already included providing resilient communications capability and contributing to infrastructure reconstruction. 

This year, the foundation is set to host its fourth annual golf event in the stunning location of Son Quint, Palma de Mallorca on the 9th of October. This event, known as the Superyacht Charities Golf Event Palma de Mallorca, not only promises a day of excellent golf but also supports a great cause, bringing together the community in the spirit of philanthropy and sportsmanship.

We have close to 160 players out on the green over the day, playing in teams of two with the first group setting off at 8 a.m. The second group will begin after lunch, which is a Spanish-style tapas meal served at the golf course.

Throughout the day, a bar will be open at the club, with two additional bars located out on the green. Golf challenges will be set up along the course, offering players the chance to win trophies and prizes – so keep your game sharp and have fun along the way! 

In the evening, guests will enjoy a vibrant Spanish-style barbecue at the club, complete with DJ music and drinks. During dinner, we will hold an auction and a raffle featuring five fantastic prizes, with all proceeds going toward the beneficiaries chosen by the charity. 

The event offers an excellent opportunity to network, of course. Still, the entire goal of everything Superyacht Charities creates is to raise money for charity. The Superyacht Charities Golf Event Palma de Mallorca is at the heart of what we do. Our clients and attendees are superyacht crew, small companies and people who support the industry and want to do good. 

We want to thank all of the Trustees and their families who make the Superyacht Charities such a success: Derek Munro, Ken Hickling, Glen Taylor, Liam Dobbin and Ed Taylor. The Trustees give up their time for zero financial reward. No Trustee has ever received a penny for their efforts. In fact, they also pay all their own travel expenses to attend any of our events, including the Superyacht Charities Golf Event Palma de Mallorca. Along with our very generous Sponsors, Supporters, Guests, Ambassadors and Volunteers, without their help, none of this would be possible.

As the foundation continues to grow, it’s clear that the impact of these efforts extends far beyond the golf course. We look forward to seeing even greater success this year!
