Palm Beach International Boat Show

Armada Club partnered with Pacta Relations and a select group of sponsors to host an evening reception during the 2026 Palm Beach International Boat Show — the club's first event on US soil and a milestone in its expansion beyond the Mediterranean.

The evening was held aboard MY Ad Astra, a 37.4-metre Moonen delivered in 2025 and listed for charter with IYC. The seventh hull in Moonen's acclaimed 122 Martinique series, Ad Astra is described by Moonen as "a perfect blend of proven engineering and owner-driven personalisation" — accommodating ten guests across five cabins with a full-beam main deck master, alfresco dining areas, a sundeck Jacuzzi and a beach club. Her vibrant orange waterline made her instantly recognisable in the marina, and she offered a striking example of the kind of vessel that sits naturally within the Armada fleet.

The evening brought together a curated group of yacht owners, family office principals, wealth advisors, and senior figures from the superyacht industry. The event was a private introduction to the club, and part of an ongoing series of gatherings Armada Club is hosting across key destinations on the circuit.

The event was held in collaboration with Pacta Relations and other sponsors who share the Armada Club ethos of discretion, quality, and meaningful connection. Pacta Relations, the boutique investor relations firm founded by Jessika Angarita and Lisbet Castillo, has built a reputation for connecting UHNW families and sophisticated investors through intimate, high-trust gatherings at the intersection of luxury and capital markets. The Palm Beach Boat Show has been a fixture in Pacta's calendar for several years, and this year's collaboration with Armada Club was a natural fit.

Conversations moved naturally between the yacht's potential as a venue, the mechanics of the membership model, and the broader opportunity for fleet owners.

Several owners in attendance expressed interest in joining the founding fleet, and a number of family office representatives began the membership enquiry process directly at the event. For Armada Club, the evening confirmed what the team had suspected: Palm Beach is not simply a winter stop on the circuit — it is one of the most receptive markets in the world for this model.

The event also marked Armada Club's first collaboration with partner organisations, a format the club intends to repeat at key moments across the circuit — from Monaco and Sardinia to Dubai and the Bahamas. Future co-hosted evenings with complementary brands and networks will be announced through the club's private channels.
