Mallorca, a stunning Spanish island renowned for its affluent visitors and luxury yachts, is currently hosting a maritime spectacle that has left even the most seasoned locals in awe.
The Renaissance, a colossal 112-meter superyacht, is the largest vessel ever built in Spain and is cruising the waters near Colònia de Sant Jordi along Mallorca’s coast. With a cruising speed of 12 knots (22.2 km/h) and a top speed reaching 16 knots (29.6 km/h), this 7,200-tonne giant commands attention wherever it sails.
Designed by the renowned Bannenberg & Rowell Design and constructed in 2023 at the Freire Shipyard in Vigo, Spain, the Renaissance is the culmination of over three decades of design evolution, originating from its initial concept in 1987. This impressive yacht has quickly become a favorite among yacht enthusiasts and those fortunate enough to glimpse it from shore.
The Renaissance comfortably accommodates 36 guests across 19 lavish cabins. Its amenities rival those of a floating luxury resort, featuring a gym, spa, indoor and outdoor cinemas, a private owner’s deck, and even touchless wristbands that provide keyless access to cabins. Additional highlights include a beach club, business center, and a unique outdoor commercial pizza oven — combining luxury with a touch of culinary delight.
This extraordinary vessel represents the pinnacle of Spanish shipbuilding and continues to captivate all who witness its grandeur along Mallorca’s picturesque coastline.
