A semisubmersible floating platform (1) for supporting at least one wind turbine, comprising four buoyant columns (3), each of them being attached to a ring pontoon (2); a transition piece (4) configured to support one wind turbine, disposed on the buoyant columns (3); and a heave plate (5) assembled to the internal perimeter of the ring pontoon (2). The ring pontoon (2) comprises four pontoon portions forming a quadrilateral-shaped ring pontoon (2) wherein the first end of each column (3) is attached to a respective corner of said quadrilateral-shaped ring pontoon (2). The heave plate (5) is located in the internal perimeter of the ring pontoon (2), both defining a hollow. The pontoon (2) is preferably divided into a plurality of compartments or construction blocks that may be filled with fixed ballast, such as concrete. The transition piece (4) has four arms arranged in star configuration and protruding from a central point at which the wind turbine is located, the connection between the transition piece (4) and the columns (3) being designed to be located above the sea splash zone. Each of the buoyant columns (3) comprises at least one ballast tank configured for allocating sea water in order to adjust the draft and to compensate for the inclination of the platform (1), said at least one ballast tank comprised in each column (3) being independent of the at least one ballast tank of the other columns (3).
