Whether you’re looking to learn a new sport, compete in a friendly tournament, or simply enjoy the energy of the season, West Palm Beach makes it easy to turn a visit into an active experience.
Pelorus Padel Invitational Brings Luxury Sport & Lifestyle Together
One of the most exciting participation opportunities this spring is the Pelorus Padel Invitational www.peloruspadelinvitational.com, taking place Saturday, March 28, during the same weekend as the Palm Beach International Boat Show www.pbboatshow.com.
This unique day-long activation takes place at Padel Club, located at 2025 N. Dixie Highway, ideally situated between the Palm Beach International Boat Show entrance and the Rybovich Safe Harbor marina—home to some of the largest superyachts in U.S. waters.
Running from 9 a.m. to approximately 9–10 p.m., the highlight of the day is a 24-team amateur tournament taking place during the afternoon, where teams will compete in a spirited but social environment to be crowned champions. The winning team will receive an exclusive luxury yachting experience curated by Pelorus Yachting, adding an unforgettable reward to the competition.
Players can also sign up for professional-led clinics, offering instruction for those new to the sport or looking to elevate their game. Clinics and tournament participation require advance registration due to limited availability.
Guests who prefer to watch rather than compete are also encouraged to attend. Advance registration is required for all participants and attendees. To register or learn more, visit: www.peloruspadelinvitational.com/register.
