Peters & May has renewed its sponsorship with the prestigious 52 SUPER SERIES, signing a new five-year agreement to continue as the Exclusive Official Logistics Supplier & Partner through to the end of the 2030 season.

Taking effect from 1 January 2026, the renewed partnership will see Peters & May continue to manage the complete logistics programme for the circuit — coordinating the movement of 52 SUPER SERIES racing yachts, containers, equipment, RIBs, and all essential operational assets across Europe and the Atlantic.

Agus Zulueta, CEO of the 52 SUPER SERIES, commented, "We have been working with Peters & May for 10 years as our Official Logistics Partner and as such they have a great understanding of the needs and objectives of the circuit. Over this time we have a built a very close, in-depth relationship and we look forward to continuing to work closely with them over the next five years."

In 2025, Peters & May supported the circuit across four key regattas, delivering seamless logistics between St Tropez and Vigo, Lisbon and Palma, Palma and Porto Cervo, and Porto Cervo and Sagunto. These routes demonstrated the company's expertise in handling the precise, time-critical demands of elite grand prix yacht racing.

"It is an honour to once again be the official logistics supplier to the 52 SUPER SERIES, one of the most prestigious grand prix racing circuits globally," said Simon Judson, Peters & May. "With over 50 years of experience, we understand how vital it is for every yacht and every container to arrive safely, securely, and on schedule. This renewal reflects our team's expertise, precision, and commitment to delivering world-class service."

"The partnership thrives because we share a passion for performance — both on the water and behind the scenes — as well as a commitment to sustainability and responsible operations."

The 52 SUPER SERIES continues to strengthen its environmental ambition, working with local partners at each venue and supporting the Kick Out Plastic initiative. Peters & May aligns closely with this commitment, holding Planet Mark Business Certification and achieving a 20% reduction in emissions across its in-house transport fleet since 2024.

The Spanish branch remains a cornerstone of Peters & May's support for the 52 SUPER SERIES. Operating from Valencia — a key base for many of the fleet's teams — the local operation is led by Elo Romero and Nazaret Cabañero, providing close, day-to-day coordination. As the backbone of the on-the-ground logistics, the team works directly with crews throughout the season, liaising with each campaign, preparing for movements, and organising on behalf of Peters & May's UK headquarters the detailed shipment requirements for every venue. Their close relationships across the fleet and hands-on approach ensure every stage of the logistics chain runs seamlessly from port to port.

"For us, it's about more than moving boats — it's about supporting people we know well and work with year after year," said Elo Romero, Peters & May Spain. "Our role is to be there for every team, anticipate what they need, and make sure everything arrives exactly where it should, when it should."

Much of the work that underpins a circuit of this scale takes place out of sight, with complex logistics happening long before the racing begins. To help followers appreciate what goes on behind the scenes, the 52 SUPER SERIES will next year release a video offering a rare look into the operations that make the competition possible.

Peters & May has supported the 52 SUPER SERIES since its inaugural season in 2012, working with hundreds of teams and ensuring the smooth running of more than a decade of high-performance regattas across the Mediterranean and Atlantic. The renewed agreement reinforces a shared commitment to delivering a world-class racing experience for teams, organisers, and fans over the coming seasons.
