Ibiza-Formentera yacht & superyacht scene
July-August is the peak of the yachting scene: superyachts at anchor off Cala Jondal (in front of Blue Marlin) and Formentera, tenders to the beach clubs, lunches at Juan y Andrea / Beso Beach. The heart of Balearic nautical society (Portofino/yachting DNA). NB: not a ticketed event but a seasonal jet-set scene; commercial 'boat parties' (mass-market) remain out of scope.
