Marinas de Andalucía presents at the 41st Palma International Boat Show, held from April 30 to May 3 at Marina Moll Vell, officially opening the Mediterranean nautical season.
The association joins the Andalusian Public Agency for Tourism and Sports at Zone 1, Stand C-11, to showcase Andalucía as a premier sustainable nautical destination.
Manuel Raigón, president of Marinas de Andalucía, praised the collaboration: ‘We’re back to highlight the vast potential of Andalucía’s nautical sector and the quality of our marinas. We’re grateful for the agency’s support in this joint promotion.’
The plan is to position Andalucía as a global nautical hub, giving light to its top-level port services, eco-friendly infrastructure, and the region’s rich tourism, culture, and cuisine so as to attract longer yacht stays.
2024’s show drew 32,000 visitors, 271 exhibitors, and over 600 boats, with 250 moored at sea. This year, the event expands with a new 5,000-square-metre area at Club de Mar, dedicated to large yachts (40-100 metres) and specialised companies in repair, maintenance, engineering, and design. A five-minute sea shuttle connects the new zone to Moll Vell.
Marinas de Andalucía’s 18 marinas and yacht clubs will use the show to champion sustainable, high-quality recreational boating, holding up the region’s role as a nautical powerhouse at this globally famed event.
