Menorca Island · Festes de Sant Jaume · 7th Edition
Port d'Es Castell · Menorca · 2026
History
La Exhibición Motonáutica Festes de Sant Jaume nació como un sueño compartido entre amantes del mar y las motos de agua. What began as a small gathering of pilots in the waters of Port de Mahon has grown into one of the most anticipated events of Menorca's summer season.
Integrada en las Festes de Sant Jaume, patron saint of Es Castell, the exhibition coincides with one of the island's busiest periods, guaranteeing a passionate and diverse audience. From the very beginning, the event has grown in teams, categories and spectacle — today attracting elite pilots from across Spain.
In 2025 it also became a stop on the 500 Milles Nàutiques Comunitat Valenciana – Illes Balears, catapulting the exhibition to national level. En 2026 repite este vínculo, con pilotos llegando a nado desde Valencia hasta Menorca.

Es Castell is a charming harbour town on Menorca's eastern coast, bearing the mark of 18th-century British occupation around every corner. Its colourful buildings, the esplanade surrounded by former military barracks and the Military Museum all bear witness to its rich history.
From the top of a cliff you can see the Port Natural of Mahon — one of the largest natural harbours in the world, and the perfect setting for the summer's most thrilling nautical spectacle.

Special Connection 2026
For the second consecutive year, the Es Castell exhibition becomes a destination on the 500 Milles Nàutiques Comunitat Valenciana – Illes Balears, the legendary crossing organised by the Real Federació Valenciana de Motonàutica.
Riders from across Spain cross the Mediterranean on their jet skis, arriving at Port d'Es Castell on Friday night. The crossing is a round trip — approximately 500 nautical miles in total between Valencia and Menorca. The combination of the oceanic crossing and the harbour exhibition creates a unique weekend in the national nautical calendar. The 500 Nautical Miles is a competition independent from the Jet Ski Exhibition — registering as an exhibition pilot does not include participation in the 500 Miles, and vice versa.
A night-time arrival that gives way to a Saturday of pure adrenaline in front of the Festes de Sant Jaume crowds.
