History

The RCNPP's historical origins date back to 1959 when a group of residents in Puerto Pollensa took the first steps in setting up the Club Nàutic Port de Pollença. Two years later, on 23 April 1961, the Club was formally established in a General Assembly under the leadership of Mr. Francisco Javier Marichalar y Bruguera, Marqués de Ciria with 25 members and proceedings began to enable the building work to start. The foundation stone was laid on 14 August, 1961. Just over 27 years later, significant expansion and modernization works were carried out, lasting twelve months. In January 1993, His Majesty King Juan Carlos I granted the Yacht Club the title of ‘Real’ (Royal).

Since the RCNPP's beginnings, canoeing, fishing, diving, light sailing and cruising have been well-established activities. The RCNPP is a member of the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation, the Balearic Sailing Federation and the Balearic Yacht Club Association.

Each year, in addition to the regattas, Sailing and Canoeing Schools, the club also organizes other sporting and social activities, including dolphin fish (Mahi Mahi) fishing social outings. Fully modernized, the RCNPP celebrated the 50th anniversary of its opening in 2011. Work began on the redevelopment project in 2018, consisting of four phases, which involved replacing the marina’s jetties, the outer dock, the waiting dock and the breakwater promenade, crew’s building and sailing school.
