Port Authority of the Balearic Islands and ESTELA Shipping Superyacht Agency are collaborating to present a series of seminars and presentations over three days, celebrating all aspects of the sea and nautical activity.
Port Centre will be open to the public for the duration, with various FREE events taking place throughout the building. These sessions are all about information, education and the exchange of ideas aimed at anyone with an interest in conservation, exploration and enjoyment of the sea.
We invite you to come and listen, participate, and meet fellow thalassophiles involved in the many activities and initiatives supported by the Balearic Port Authority and its collaborators.
