Invitation to the 18th AENIB Gala del Mar

Dear Members,
As previously announced in our “save the date” communication, everything is now ready to celebrate one of the most important gatherings of the year for our sector.

The Balearic Marine Business Association (AENIB) is pleased to invite you to the 18th edition of the Gala del Mar, a traditional annual event where the Balearic nautical sector comes together to recognise excellence, professional careers, and the commitment of companies and professionals linked to the sea.

This year, the event will take place on Thursday, March 26th, 2026, at the newly renovated Club de Mar (Palma), and will feature two key moments of special importance for all members:

At 18:30, the AENIB General Assembly will be held in the Menorca Room, with the following agenda:

  • Welcome address by the President
  • Review of activities and actions carried out in 2025
  • Update on ongoing actions and projects
  • Communication activities
  • Presentation and approval, if applicable, of the 2025 AENIB-ANEN financial results
  • Presentation and approval, if applicable, of the 2026 AENIB-ANEN budget
  • Questions and discussion


Following this, from 20:00 onwards, the Gala del Mar will take place in cocktail format in the Ibiza Room, where the official group photo will be taken and the awards ceremony will be held throughout the evening. The event will be attended by authorities and representatives of the Balearic nautical sector, who will support and accompany this celebration.

During the evening, awards will be presented for Loyalty and Long-standing Membership in AENIB, Collaborating Entity with the Nautical Sector in 2025, and Outstanding Professional Career. The names of the award recipients will be announced during the gala.

This event is designed for all of you. We aim to encourage maximum participation, and you are welcome to attend accompanied by members of your teams. There is no limit on the number of attendees per company — everyone is welcome.

The attendance fee for the gala is €20 per guest. Payment must be made via bank transfer to the following account:

Banco Santander IBAN: ES91 0049 1152 11 2010081204

Once the payment has been made, please send the proof of transfer to anen@anen.es to confirm your attendance, including the full names of all attendees to ensure proper event organisation. If you have any food intolerances or allergies, we kindly ask you to inform us in the same email.

We look forward to welcoming you to this special event for the Balearic nautical sector — an opportunity to come together, share experiences, and continue strengthening the nautical community alongside colleagues, partners, and institutional representatives.

We hope to see you on March 26th at the newly renovated Club de Mar.

Kind regards,
Jaume Vaquer
President Balearic Marine Business Association (AENIB)
