Marina Ibiza marked the final destination of this island-island route, combining sport, networking and social impact in a breathtaking setting

Marina Ibiza once again brought together the Balearic business community for the tenth APD (Association for Executive Development) Offshore Regatta, a firmly established fixture on the Balearic Islands’ yachting and corporate calendar. In this year’s edition, the marina also claimed victory aboard the sailing yacht Aquarelle I.

Eight yachts and around ninety executives and business leaders from Ibiza and Palma took part in this year’s regatta, an inter-island journey where competition, networking and a shared passion for the sea once again set the tone for the day.

Setting sail from Mallorca, the fleet crossed from Cala Figuera Lighthouse to the finish line off Tagomago, before making landfall at Marina Ibiza. This year’s event once again highlighted the bond between the corporate world and the yachting community.

The Marina Ibiza team also took part in the competition on board the sailboat Aquarelle I, securing victory after a day marked by camaraderie, navigation and team spirit.

What’s more, as part of the regatta’s social commitment, this year a charitable donation was made to APNEEF, an association supporting people with special needs, thanks to the collaboration of participating companies and partner organisations.

The race ended with the traditional awards ceremony at Sa Calma restaurant in the marina, where Marcos Marí, CEO of Marina Ibiza, said “it’s inspiring to see how, after ten editions, this regatta continues to unite so many companies and professionals through a shared passion for the sea. At Marina Ibiza, we believe in this kind of initiative because it fosters connection, camaraderie and a different way of sharing time and experiences within the yachting world”, he continue.

This latest edition once again places Marina Ibiza at the heart of the Mediterranean’s yachting and business scene, combining its role as host port with an active presence on the water and underlining its connection to the sea, the corporate world community and sailing culture.
