The Spanish Association of Large Yachts (AEGY), based in Palma, reports that there has been a reduction in the number of superyachts in the Balearics and the rest of Spain this summer. The superyachts have been diverted to "other countries as a consequence of the pandemic".

Jeremy, spot on!
The big issue in all of this is: Armengol and the Socialists will be history at the next elections and we are stuck with her inheritance of incompentence and bad decision making. But will she be held accountable? I doubt it.
I am a boat owner Mallorca is lovely but has issues. Berthing is expensive. The island is anti tourist and the latest incarnation of this is you can’t moor up on weed. There is lots of weed !However there is no enforcement of speed limits on jet ski and the like going fast in anchorages or sufficient / any pump out stations for on board sewage. So they protect weed but are happy to risk lives in anchorages and for people to pump @&&p into this sea. They have imposed new taxes on companies working in marinas. They don’t learn. Last time they introduced matriculation tax the boats all left.
'The Balearics is of great importance for repair and maintenance.' Obviously not!
I don't suppose it has anything to do with the increase in taxes and subsequent increase in prices.. No, no, no. the great excuse this year is "Covid"
and why does this come as a surprise?......who would be under such a regime if they had a choice?
