The Superyacht Show offers plenty more to get excited about, beside the yachts, with premium brands Aston Martin and Triton Submarines also taking up pride of place in OneOcean Port Vell. The two firms teamed up last year to create Project Neptune, the first Aston Martin-branded submarine, and the Barcelona event was used to reveal further details, including the top speed and interior design options.

Of course it wouldn’t be a proper superyacht show without plenty of refreshing drinks, fine food and socialising. The Superyacht Show is certainly providing and has teamed up with No12 Fine Wines and Provisions as well as La Reina de la Trufa.
