This episode of Behind the Scenes steps into the North Sails loft in Palma and highlights our team working in one of the world’s biggest sail lofts. North Sails Palma is a vital hub within the North network and expanded to twice its previous size in the Spring of 2022.
This 4,720 sqm loft serves double duty as the on-island sailing community hub and a key destination for international sailors and boat captains. So whether you’re a superyacht arriving from a transatlantic delivery, in town for one of the many Grand Prix regattas, or cruising Europe during the summer season, there’s a good chance you’ve met the North Sails team dockside.
Over 30 experts, including sail designers, sailmakers, service professionals, and Superyacht experts sit under one roof, just a quick 10-minute drive from the harbor. The Palma team prides itself on delivering a level of customer service that is unprecedented. And while the team consists of consummate professionals, their passion for sailing and their motivation to keep raising the bar fosters a fun and dynamic atmosphere.
