Puerto Portals Mallorca will host the Portals Nautical Weekend, running from 26 to 28 May 2012. Ideal for lovers of water sports, there will be something for everybody, from sailing, motor cruising right through to yacht charter.
One of the most popular Spanish yacht charter destinations - Palma de Mallorca
Apart from the large number of yachts available for public viewing on the floating quays, there will be a shore based exhibition in the chic well known Puerto Portals boulevard area. This is bordered on both sides by boutique shops, restaurants and bars, only a few metres from the waters edge. Where else will one find such an agreeable setting for a thoroughly enjoyable Nautical Weekend?
This will be a real ‘boat fair’ embodied within all the facilities of a vibrant full service marina in its lively summer season mode!
The port itself celebrated 25 years in existence as a luxury marina in 2011, and is universally regarded in the nautical leisure world as a top class sailor’s destination. Its proximity to the excellent transport links via Palma de Mallorca‘s international airport and ferry terminal, together with the natural gift of 300 days sunshine a year, and unbeatable coastal/offshore sailing conditions, have put Puerto Portals permanently at the top of the global marina premier league.
If one takes the excellent ambience of the port, with it’s extensive retail shopping outlets, plus restaurants and bars to suit every taste and pocket, and combines it with a display of boats (both new and pre-owned) from Europe‘s best known names in yacht building and brokerage… then that describes perfectly what visitors will see and experience at the Portals Nautical Weekend.
Add to that, a host of other exhibitors from Mallorca‘s long established and high quality marine services sector, and the chance to soak up the sun for a few hours on one of the islands famous beaches, (one of them right next to the port itself), and any nautically inclined family or yachting professional is bound to find this an attractive event to visit.
Some of the other attractions to compliment the comprehensive range of yachts in the water (from 8m to >30m, power and sail), will be the all important chandlers and yachting accessory exhibits, with special prices on some items exclusively for the show.
There will also be jet-skis, RIBS, outboard motors, kayaks, tenders/toys and dinghies on show. And if one prefers to charter a yacht for an idyllic holiday in The Balearics, or to take an instructional course towards gaining a recognised yachting qualification, then there will be specialist companies on hand to help with arranging this to suit one´s requirements.
One last important thing to announce…entry to the Portals Nautical Weekend will be FREE!
