OYSTER PALMA RENDEZVOUS

1ST – 3RD OCTOBER 2021

The Palma Rendezvous 2021 welcomed over 100 guests for a fun weekend in the sun at the start of October 2021. With a mix of casual cruising, watersports, superb local cuisine and fantastic live music, the event was a great success and a wonderful opportunity to catch up after the extended break.

DAY 1

On the opening day of the event, 23 owners and their guests arrived to a warm welcome at the Real Club Nàutico de Palma. In the shadow of the magnificent Catedral-Basílica de Santa María, everyone enjoyed welcome drinks and dinner, with much discussion of what the weekend ahead held.

DAY 2

Saturday dawned with glorious sunshine and a light breeze for a gentle morning cruise down the south coast. The fleet headed west towards Camp de Mar, where they set up base for the rest of the weekend. After lunch onboard, a sea breeze picked up to make for a fun-packed afternoon of water activities, including Tiwal dinghy racing, paddle boarding, and a very amusing inflatable race!

After the excitement of the watersports, everyone headed ashore to enjoy the magnificent sunset and cocktails. An exclusive evening of delicious food and fantastic entertainment at the Maria 5 Beach Club followed. While the sun set over Camp de Mar, guests were treated to an amazing evening of entertainment with a local jazz trio, and Oyster brand ambassador Eddie Jordan on the drums, with his band Eddie and the Robbers.

DAY 3

On the final day of the Rendezvous, the fleet enjoyed breakfast at anchor in the charming bay of Camp de Mar. The day had a more relaxed vibe, with time for everyone to soak up the Mallorcan sun and catch up with old friends and new, before heading home in their own time.

Allie Smith, Oyster Head of Events, was thrilled with the weekend: “Seeing so many owners and their yachts together for the first time in over two years was just fantastic.”

Millie Bolingbroke, Events Lead at Oyster, added: “We were delighted to see the Oyster family back together once again, sailing, socialising, and doing what they do best! The relaxed weekend was a great success and we are looking forward to many more Rendezvous in the future."

James and I loved the opportunity to meet some of the Oyster World Rally 2022-23 participants in person, especially after having only seen faces on a Zoom screen over the past year! The Oyster team hosted a fun evening - delicious food, plenty of wine and great company.
