Sunken Yacht Recovery Underway in Ibiza Port

Sunken Yacht Recovery Underway in Ibiza Port

In a dramatic development that could intrigue the curiosity of tourists, the Balearic Islands Port Authority has begun the complex operation to recover a yacht that caught fire and sank near Ibiza's port. Initially planned for a later date, the effort to lift the yacht has been expedited, bringing it to just ten metres below the ocean's surface at Botafoc dock. Scheduled for completion by Friday, the operation will allow post-recovery clean-up and analysis to commence. With the extraction of 900 litres of pollutants and over 1,650 kilograms of solid waste so far, the intervention underscores a strong commitment to preserving Ibiza's marine environment. The yacht's retrieval will be followed by a thorough investigation aiming to uncover the reasons behind the incident.

Three vessels are already full, but spots remain on the more premium options, priced from 777 to 1,444 euros. The journey will kick off in Cala Jondal around 3 PM, setting course for this iconic sunset vantage point. While some catamarans will be alcohol-free, others will offer a lively atmosphere with drink services and live performances by Ape Chimba. Ape Chimba's performance, incorporating a blend of African, flamenco, Latin, indigenous, and electronic sounds, will coincide with the eclipse's phases, creating an audio accompaniment to the dramatic sky changes. Passengers will enjoy this performance through wireless headphones, ensuring an intimate listening experience that is free from the distractions of the sea.
