MGMT: ‘Our Biggest Monaco Yacht Show Yet’

Another year another Monaco Yacht Show, and this year all businesses under The Bridge Group umbrella will be present at the show with an exciting new base location, The Lounge, 6 Rte de la Piscine.

We intend on using our new base to connect with every corner of the industry, and we are thrilled to have front row seats to the biggest event of the year! Ahead of the show, we wanted to reintroduce ourselves to our readers, and express what were most excited about for this year’s edition, starting with the UK’s leading yacht agency, MGMT.

MGMT remains as the only Superyacht specific agency in the UK, covering all locations. The company frequently assists Superyachts visiting the Thames in London, including a 100m+ yacht most recently, while this year’s largest yacht has been 150m+ in length. Over the years, MGMT has grown in success, helping visiting Superyachts make the most out of their visit to UK shores since MGMT director, Mark Upton, recognised the need to cater to them during the London Olympics in 2012.

Mark is founder and managing director of MGMT, CrewFO and most recently, The Bridge group. After 27 years in the industry, Mark is still excited to meet new people and learn about innovation and support new businesses within the industry.

Like many businesses in the industry, for MGMT the Monaco show is an excellent opportunity to not only catch-up with existing friends, but also to make new connections and discover all of the latest trends in yachting:

“I am really looking forward to the show this year as it will be our biggest attendance as a company since we started back in 2009. All of our businesses will be present and I’m excited to meet up with lots of people we already know, as well as building relationships with those we don’t know yet”

Monaco Yacht Show is a huge event for the whole of the yachting industry

“Our fantastic team has been planning the show for quite a while now and I can’t wait to see what happens. All are welcome to come and see us at The Lounge for a chat, interview or even a live post whilst you are with us.” – Mark Upton, Managing Director, MGMT, The Bridge Group

Best Local Spots To Refresh During Palma International Boat Show

As a Palma local of many years, the Palma International Boat Show is always a highlight on my calendar, marking the start of the Summer on the Island and a great opportunity for networking in a stunning location. With the show just around the corner, I compiled a list of some local places to refresh during the show. From stylish coffee shops to more traditional Vermuterias, Palma has so much to offer in terms of food and drink. These spots are only a short walk from Moll Vell, where the Palma Superyacht Village is again located this year. Check out the list below.


Café La Lonja

A firm favourite amongst locals, Yachties and tourists alike. Affectionately referred to by locals as ‘Orange Umbrellas’, Café La Lonja is a no-thrills bar and eatery set in a charming square, located directly across from Moll Vell and STP Shipyard. Serving small plates of tapas, snacks and Bocadillas, this is a perfect spot if you’re looking for a quick bite in-between appointments during the boat show.


Mistral Coffee House

With two locations in Palma, Mistral is incredibly popular for those who are serious about their speciality coffees. The most recently opened location in Plaça de Weyler is the most pleasant to enjoy a coffee in the sunshine on the outdoor terrace. They also do delicious food (possibly the best Avocado on toast in the city). A short walk from Moll Vell, Mistral is well worth a visit to get your caffeine fix during PIBS.


La Rosa

If you’re seeking authentic tapas in a buzzy and stylish setting, La Rosa should be on your list of places to eat during the show. Expect all of the classic tapas dishes, a mix of cold and warm plates and a great selection of Vermouth and Wines. Located in Carrer de la Rosa, right by Mistral, La Rosa is an ideal spot to entertain and dine with clients, just make sure to book ahead as it can be hard to secure a table towards the weekend.

Vermutería San Jaime

Another excellent spot in Palma for tapas, Vermutería San Jaime is located on Passeig Mallorca, a short stroll through the old town from the boat show. This quirky and stylish eatery is popular with locals and those in the know. A full and dynamic menu of tapas and great selection of Vermouth and Wine can be found here, the sweet options are also particularly delicious so don’t skip dessert! It is highly recommended to book ahead as the tables are often booked up.


Elefante 

If a quick coffee close to the action is what you’re after, look no further than Elefante in Santa Catalina. This laid-back cafe is located directly opposite the bustling Santa Catalina market, and serves breakfast and brunch as well as offering a selection of takeout wraps and sandwiches.


El Perrito

A much-loved local establishment offering simple and delicious breakfast dishes as well as a full lunch menu that hits the spot every time. A particular standout are the Eggs Benedict and the Bagels. El Perrito has two locations on the same street, so if you can’t squeeze into one, check the other one down the road. The ultimate spot for people watching!
