Ibiza yacht club vows to fight exclusion from bid

Both bids are out: a yacht club in Eivissa, Ibiza, says it plans to challenge its exclusion from the contest to run its former facilities. On 13 November 2026, Club Náutico de Eivissa says a technical committee has rejected its proposal and the rival bid in a competition run by the Balearic Islands Port Authority.

Club president Damián Verdera calls the decision an unwelcome surprise. He says the club’s proposal meets the technical, legal and financial requirements. The club says its financial capacity exceeds the required threshold of €3.3 million by 21.6 per cent — backing it describes as an enormous effort to secure.

The club is waiting for the detailed reasons for its exclusion before taking legal action. It says it still wants to put the facilities to use for sport and the people of Ibiza. On Mallorca, the Real Club Náutico de Palma is among the organisations it thanks for their support.
