The Board of Directors of the Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) agreed yesterday at a meeting held in Palma to select the proposal submitted by the Club Marítimo Mahón for the management of a nautical-sports facility for small and medium-sized boats in the Levante dock of the port of Maó, between the area known as sa Punta des Rellotge and es Gatassus.

This authorisation is aimed primarily at the promotion and teaching of water sports and consists of 165 moorings for boats from eight to fifteen metres long.

The space, with an area of 19,167 square metres of water and 698 square metres of land, has four floating and occasionally piloted pontoons. It also includes an esplanade and a quay beside it, intended for the mooring of light boats for training, sports, and non-profit-making educational, social and cultural activities.

As this offer was considered the most advantageous solution by the Board of Directors, a temporary authorisation will be granted for two years, with the possibility of its renewal every year up to a maximum period of three years.

The initial occupancy fee was 160,862 euros per year, to which the Club Marítimio Mahón has added an improvement corresponding to 44,438 euros, in addition to the 4% activity fee.
