The nautical sector celebrated its most prestigious show in Monaco, where IPM Group once again had its usual stand at Quai Albert 1er where it received captains, friends, collaborators and customers from all the Group's companies: STP Shipyard Palma, Marina Ibiza, Marina Port de Mallorca, Marina Palma Cuarentena, Varadero Valencia and Varadero Ibiza.

During all four days of the show, they offered information about the news for the season.

STP’S EXTENSION AND NEW WEBSITE

For its part, STP Shipyard Palma took advantage of the show to communicate that it expanded and renovated its facilities and infrastructure to meet the increasingly demanding expectations. Works to improve the facilities or the acquisition of the 1,000 TN travelift and a restructuring in the organization of the shipyard that includes a new parking area are some of the measures taken to offer a better service to its customers.

To this news we must finally add the update of its website that, in addition to having a very functional design and navigability, incorporates an interesting commercial support tool to all professionals who work in the yard and that facilitates the client's search for professionals in each area of yacht’s ??refit and maintenance.

It is a business directory which facilitates its customers a search by type of specialty. Given the need that STP perceived before the arrival of new clients and the continuous requirement of information on accredited industrialists to work in the facilities, this practical directory was launched and will undoubtedly be a promotional platform for all certified professionals according to the quality and safety criteria to work at STP’s facilities.

This initiative has been pleasantly received by all companies and customers.

NEW LUXURY SHOPPING AND RESTAURANT AREA

Marina Ibiza maintained its prominence during the summer season completing the experience of the shopping, leisure and entertainment offer already existing in the marina, since three major changes have been made this summer.

The only luxury shopping area that exists in Ibiza has been inaugurated with the inclusion of exclusive prestigious brands such as Dior, Dolce & Gabbana and Hublot - with their special and exclusive capsule collections for these outlets in Ibiza - Bulgari - with high jewelry pieces that can only be found at Marina Ibiza and Tag Heuer or Giuseppe Zanotti among others.

On the other hand, ROTO restaurant is revolutionizing Ibiza. Unique for its location, for its decoration, for its kitchen and for its concept in general, it has been since its inception the fashion store in Ibiza this season. Even before its opening, it already had a waiting list and its commitment to the authentic connection with the soul of real Ibiza, the Ibiza of the 70s, that link with the land, the sea and the air make this restaurant something unique in the world. A place where it seems that time does not pass, where you want to stay and enjoy.

And finally, a change in the landscape and general aesthetics of the marina, as well as a strong commitment to the environment creating many more green areas that provide a fresh environment and a pleasant walk. This action together with the implementation of several original initiatives aimed at preserving the environment in which it is located, are two factors that have made this port the most “eco-friendly” marina in Europe.

NEW TRAVELIFT AND SPECIALISTS IN VARADERO VALENCIA

One of the most recent ítems of news is the incorporation of a new travelift in Varadero Valencia with a lifting capacity of 300 tons, more than double the capacity which  they can currently lift.
