We are very excited to announce that EVOLUTION´s Provisioning department is partnering up and joining forces with SABOR PROVISIONS, a very well-established provisioning company in the superyacht industry. This partnership is the result of a natural growth between both companies, wanting to combine Evolution´s extensive network of contacts and logistics know-how with Sabor´s experience in the provisioning field and world-class produce.

Our main objective together will be providing an outstanding standard of service to our customers regardless of their location and stablishing our position as leader both in SPAIN and GIBRALTAR. Evolution´s proximity and expertise on the “customs´ difficulties” in Gibraltar added to the quality of service from Sabor and Evo Provisions will guarantee the success of the service, allowing us to become the only specialized provisioning company in the area.

This project will be led by Paul Healy, Manager at Sabor Provisions, Colin Clark, our Head of Provisions and Mónica López, Head of Interior at Evolution. All of them have a good record and 15 years of experience assisting both crew and guest orders and are very aware of the importance of helping their clients understanding their needs and their rush in stressful situations. Being also based in Spain, one of the world´s gastronomic leaders today, will guarantee to all our clients the variety, quality and good value of the final produce.

“The moment to join forces has arrived for EVOLUTION and SABOR PROVISIONS and we are very much looking forward to satisfying all our clients by delivering the right product at the right moment and at the right price, no matter where they are” states Colin Clark.

SPAIN is a perfect winter destination for yachts for many reasons.  Firstly, its proximity to prime summer cruising grounds makes it a short hop once the final guests disembark, and secondly our mild winter weather means that not only are works rarely impeded by mother nature but it also makes the time more pleasant for crew – both on and off duty.  

And WINTER for yachts not cruising in sunnier climes, inevitably means WORKLIST – whether you are scheduling a major refit, an engine room overhaul, interior upgrades or your 10 year survey, finding a reliable and efficient yard is the key to success and SPAIN offers many options.  

Here we present our top picks for the finest and most reliable yards in Spain, taking into account all yacht sizes and their ability to offer the skills and expertise necessary for a full range of works. 

Combined with our in-house TPA services, winter in Spain really does make sense!

STP Shipyard Palma is located right in the centre of Palma and only a 5-minute walk from the historical old town. It is also only 10 km from Son Sant Joan Airport where airlines fly to any European capital.

STP offers the possibility of maintenance and refit work both afloat and on the dry under the open shipyard management model. The facility boasts 44.000 m2 of water depth and berthing capacity of up to 120 meters for afloat works. For boats on the hard, it has a lifting capacity of up to 1.000 tons, and a working area of ​​86.000 m2.

It is a perfect option for vessels wanting to choose for themselves which companies and suppliers to work with. STP allows each vessel to maintain tighter control over the entire refit and repair process, with the added convenience of having all services centralized in one place and up to 5,000 m2 in the shipyard dedicated to workshops.

MB92 is located at the natural gateway from the sea to the beautiful city of Barcelona, within walking distance of both the beach and the city centre.

Offering a total area for ​​repair and maintenance work of 124,000 m2, and with the lifting capacity of a Syncrolift of 2,000 tons, the new Shiplift of 4,800 tons inaugurated last year and the dry dock, it is one of the largest superyacht facilities in the world.

The MB92 Barcelona Shipyard, with more than 25 years of experience, has a dedicated Project Management team that works together with the best industry-leading professionals and specialists from around the world ensuring a well-coordinated and successful refit period.

Astilleros de Mallorca Shipyard has earned an excellent reputation over the years and has become the leading shipyard in the Balearics. Located in the Port of Palma, only a short walk from the city centre, this was one of the first facilities to provide a full ‘one stop’ refit and repair service for superyachts.

They can offer two different refit locations within the city of Palma; firstly, their own shipyard with an operational area of 23,000 m2 and 4 slipways with a maximum haul out capacity of 1,700 tons, and outfitting quays for vessels up to 120 meters; and secondly, the technical area of STP where they can work as the main contractor or offering support and assistance with specific jobs.

Project management, design and technical staff oversee all projects and ensure that, whilst the vessel is in the yard, the refit runs as smooth and efficiently as possible.

At this time of year, we know most of our clients are busy getting ready for the Caribbean season.  Tying up loose ends from the summer whilst finishing a maintenance period and preparing for the winter is a hectic time, often with crew on leave or managing changeovers, which is why they seek a helping hand with their most time-consuming errands, such as provisioning and restocking.

Picture going to the local market and hand-picking the freshest and finest products, from the highest quality meat to ecologically grown fruits and vegetables, then having it delivered in a timely manner, all without leaving your boat.  That is what we do.

Or imagine the time and energy spent maneuvering four trolleys down the supermarket isle loaded with bulky or heavy items such as laundry detergent, paper towel, and cans of coke.  Why not utilize your resources to be productive in other ways and let Evolution take care of this with our local wholesale suppliers and deliver everything to the dock?

Thanks to our expertise in yacht services and understanding of your needs we pride ourselves on our proven ability to exceed our customer’s expectations, in quality and price and efficiency.

Evolution Yacht Agents offers all clients in the Barcelona area onboard or “at home” testing for the coronavirus, both immunity and PCR checks.

• PCR (Polymerise Chain Reaction): detects the presence of the virus DNA, which can be found early on, even before symptoms have developed. Both blood and nasopharyngeal swab samples are submitted for analysis.

• Immunity Test: detects antibodies IgG and IgM in the blood which indicate if you have had the virus and have developed an adequate immune response. Blood analysis only.

This combined testing is considered the most accurate and efficient method currently available and it is recognized and certified by the Spanish Ministry of Health.

Evolution Yacht Agents have carried out over 500 COVID-19 tests in Spain for crew and guests this season 2020 with the following results.

In the Barcelona Area (including Tarragona) we have processed 416 COVID-19 tests to date with only 4 results coming in positive, which means less than 1%.  All 4 crew were asymptomatic and just being tested as part of the vessel´s due diligence protocol.  Upon retesting a week later all crew returned negative PCR results.

In the Balearics area, we are pleased to announce that we have done 109 PCR test for our clients and all produced negative results.

The media coverage of the pandemic in Spain is portraying a rather dismal picture, but the reality is rather different in light of our statistics above.

We will be pleased to welcome you to any Spanish port this winter, and can assure you of a safe and healthy environment.
