The total recreational vessel registrations in Spain have fallen by 17% between January and May, compared to the decrease of only 3.75% recorded in the Balearic Islands.

Between January and April 2022, 319 recreational boat registrations were recorded in the Balearics, representing a slight decrease of 4.2% compared to the same period in 2021.

Three out of every ten charter boats registered in Spain in the first quarter of the year correspond to the Balearics.
