Furthermore, the fitting-out is held by the Brotherhood of Sant Pere FishermenAmarres deportivos, STP, Autoridad Portuaria, Lonja Chárter and the restaurant “El Pesquero”, where next Tuesday’s press conference will take place.

The counsellor of economy and competitiveness, Joaquín García, has said that the expectations for the International Boat Show Palma are "very positive" and will exceed last year’s numbers: from 36,000 to 40,000 visitors during the five days of show.

This year, it has been necessary to expand the surface area both on land and at sea to accommodate the demands of all exhibitors and boats: in total, the show will occupy an area of about 5,000 square meters and 180 moorings.

The show has also revealed that it will feature more than 2,800 brands from fifteen countries, an increase of 75% since 2012.
