The IIMS Western Mediterranean Large Yacht & Small Craft Working Group will meet for its annual event on 25th and 26th April in Palma Majorca, immediately prior to the Palma Superyacht Show which starts on 27th April. Additionally we are offering a practical sea trial activity on the morning of 27th April for up to 10 pre booked surveyors. Complimentary VIP tickets for the Palma Superyacht Show will also be given to all attendees. The map shown is the location of Restaurant Varadero, the meeting place for Friday morning. The other classroom based activities are held just 100 metres away at our usual haunt Muelle Viejo #17, First floor, Palma Port (close to the STP main entrance).

The event is open to all IIMS members and also non-members alike.

To attend both days is £200 (approximately 235 euros at the current exchange rate). There are also 10 places available for any delegate who wants to attend the sea trial activity on the Saturday morning at no additional charge.
