ICOMIA Podcast Episode 11: Spain’s Evolving Nautical Culture
From superyachts in Palma to traditional fishing boats across the Balearics, Spain’s marine landscape is as diverse as it is world-class. Yet, as Fernando from ANEN (Asociación Nacional de Empresas Náuticas) explains in the latest ICOMIA podcast episode, the nation’s nautical culture is still evolving.
“It’s about reshaping perceptions,” says Fernando. “Boating in Spain should be for everyone—not just the elite.”
A Cultural Shift
This shift from ownership to experience-based access is a cornerstone of Spain’s emerging strategy. Younger generations are seeking adventure and connection to the sea without the long-term commitment of ownership. To meet this demand, the sector is embracing charter opportunities, boat clubs, and flexible access models that allow people to enjoy the water in more accessible and sustainable ways.
Spain’s advantages are undeniable: unmatched cruising grounds, strong maritime infrastructure, and easy connectivity with the rest of Europe. These assets position the country to become a global marine destination that balances luxury with inclusivity.
