Marina sa Riba set to manage the moorings for megayachts over 60 metres long at the Port of Ibiza

The Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) has granted a temporary occupancy authorisation for the Levante Quay at the Port of Ibiza to the company Marina sa Riba, S.L. to manage moorings for yachts over 60 metres long. The authorisation has been granted for twelve months, which can be extended for a further year at most, until the public tender to grant a concession for these port spaces, which will be put out some time in the future, is resolved.
Marina sa Riba was rated as the best proposal of the three companies that put in for the tender which was called last May by the APB’s Board of Directors. The aim of the tender is to strengthen the Port of Ibiza’s position in the megayacht market, and thus cater for existing demand on the island for large vessel moorings.
With a total fee offered of €601,000 per year, and an investment proposal of approximately €500,000 in removable facilities, Marina sa Riba now manages, as of today, a surface area of over 24,000 m2, of which more than 22,000 m2 correspond to water surface.
Large yachts are now able to berth at the Port of Ibiza’s Levante Dock thanks to the transfer of commercial port operations located in this area of the Port to the new Botafoc Quays which took place at the beginning of July.
