David Geffen arrives in Mallorca as his superyacht Rising Sun anchors for summer

David Geffen flew from his Van Nuys home base to Palma de Mallorca on June 4, landing near the island’s coast the same week his 138-meter superyacht Rising Sun dropped anchor off Palma. The Gulfstream G650 (N221DG) covered roughly 6,000 miles in a single day, arriving as the yacht’s crew prepared for a summer of celebrity guests.

The timing aligns with the Rising Sun’s annual Mediterranean season: the vessel has been moored off Palma since late April, per Mallorca Magic, and is expected to host A‑list visitors through the fall. Past guests have included Jennifer Aniston, Steven Spielberg, and Paul McCartney, as reported by the Majorca Daily Bulletin. The yacht’s presence has become a seasonal fixture, drawing spectators along the Passeig Marítim.

Geffen’s June 4 arrival continues a longstanding pattern of summering in Mallorca. Recent flight logs show his aircraft shuttling between Van Nuys and the Balearics in previous years, typically ahead of the peak season. The 7-minute hop from Palma to Madrid on June 5 may have been a repositioning leg or a brief side trip, but the main objective is clear: the entertainer and philanthropist is back on board the Rising Sun, ready for another summer at sea.
