IGY Ibiza Marina has inaugurated new facilities following a €5 million investment.
The new facility has been built to accommodate vessels ranging from 20 to 150 metres in length, as well as cruise ships during part of the year.
In addition, the marina has installed direct shore power to docked vessels including superyachts.
The project, which began in November last year, involved a full-scale upgrade of both land and sea infrastructure.
A new berth layout has also been developed.
A key element of the project includes structural improvements to the breakwater footbridge, enabling the port authority – Autoridad Portuaria de Baleares – to recover around 200 metres of berthing line currently unusable due to structural issues.
Operational capacity
The enhancement has restored the port’s operational capacity and improved berth planning during peak season, helping to relieve pressure on other docking areas.
Nautical services have been upgraded, and a new customer service office has been opened to assist clients and captains.
IGY Ibiza Marina is operated by Ocean Capital Partners (OCP), Grupo Empresas Matutes and Island Global Yachting (IGY).
IGY Ibiza Marina has operated the facility since March 2024 under an eight-and-a-half-year administrative concession.
Redevelopment
The investment was made to help extend the tourism season and attract large yachts outside of the traditional summer period.
Nearly €5 million has been invested in the redevelopment, which created 55 direct jobs with the marina.
The marina is expected to generate an overall socioeconomic impact of €30.4 million – around €3.3 million annually – and to create 15 direct jobs as well as more than 300 indirect and induced positions between 2025 and 2033.
IGY, a subsidiary of MarineMax, has operations spanning 24 marinas across 14 countries.
