‘The Y Yachting Itineraries’ 2019/20

With 8,000 copies distributed so far in 2018, planning for next year’s edition of Estela’s annual yachting guide is well underway. The book will be renamed ‘The Y Yachting Itineraries’, and the feature destination will be Rome, Italy’s ‘Eternal City’. Just 30 km inland, Rome is the perfect stop as part of an Italian coastal itinerary. Cosmopolitan, steeped in culture, a gourmet’s dream and a shopper’s nirvana, Rome is one of the finest cities on earth. As usual, ‘The Y’ will recommend the best time to go, what to see and do, where to eat and drink, always keeping in mind the finest quality that superyacht owners and guests look for. Italy’s Ligurian and Tyrrhenian coasts meanwhile offer some of the finest cruising in the western Mediterranean, with spectacular places to visit. Given Italy’s top level shipyards and marine facilities, ‘The Y Yachting Itineraries’ 2019 edition offers a perfect opportunity particularly for Italian maritime companies to promote their design and technology, showcasing their facilities, services and products alongside the region’s natural beauty and style. We will save further parts of Italy for future editions, moving on instead towards Malta and Gozo. Recent investment into Malta’s yachting infrastructure is making these ancient isles an increasingly popular stopping point for cruising […]

Antigua Charter Yacht Meeting

Almost the same age as our yacht agency in Palma, the Antigua Charter Yacht Meeting was the event’s 57th year. The show’s six-day programme was filled with viewings and trial mini-charters of more than 80 yachts, interlaced with social events, presentations, meetings and crew competitions. As a show without exhibition stands or sightseeing members of the public, it is particularly good for professional networking and viewing some of the finest yachts on the charter market. Luckily, there was also time for some private tours, so we invite you to join us on video tours of M/Y Sherakhan and M/Y Siren. We would like to thank their respective crew for taking the time to show us around and permitting us to film.

Estela Shipping at METS, Amsterdam, November 13-15

Last week we attended METS, the Marine Equipment Trade Show, in Amsterdam. METS is the world’s largest show of its kind, boasting 1,500 exhibitors from around the world, showcasing the latest technologies and innovations for the marine sector. From new diesel outboards and drone-defeat systems to cutting edge interiors and fittings, there was plenty to see for captains, engineers and boat-building clients large or small. Our visit was a first for Estela Shipping, keeping an open mind as to what, or who, we would find there. A pleasant surprise was the large number of clients we encountered on our travels, including several captains checking up on the latest products and services. We distributed over 100 copies of ‘The Y’ Yachting Handbook to exhibitors and met with a number of potential partners for next year’s edition. The show also featured a number of new exhibitors that were looking for representation in our region, which may become fruitful relationships in the future. We’ll be back at METS next year, but for a closer look at our first visit, check out the video, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T4kB7AJWwk

Thanks again to Yacht Aid Global

Dear Friends, As ambassadors for Yacht Aid Global in Mallorca, our third Superyacht Poker Tournament in Palma Casino tonight was again set to benefit this fantastic charity, with 15% of the total pot donated to the cause. However, like many of you, we were taken by the cause of Xisco Prieto, the Mallorcan skipper who is currently in a coma in hospital in San Remo, after being attacked on his way back to the boat on 23 September. As his insurance won’t cover the cost of his repatriation to Mallorca, Xisco’s family is fundraising to get him home. We told Capt Tim Forderer of Yacht Aid Global about this local cause, who immediately offered to donate all charitable proceeds towards Xisco’s repatriation. We would like to thank Tim and Yacht Aid Global for this magnanimous gesture. Hopefully this is even more reason for you to join us tonight for a fun evening of Texas Hold’em, while raising money for this worthwhile cause. And if you can’t join us tonight, you can donate towards Xisco’s flight here https://www.gofundme.com/xisco039s-road-to-recovery, while you can donate to Yacht Aid Global here http://yachtaidglobal.org/donate-now. Thanks again to Yacht Aid Global for their generosity of spirit and we look forward to […]

Celebrities Ahoy! Yes, it’s Estela Shipping’s annual end-of-season party!

You thought we couldn’t top last year’s ‘Back To The 60s’ extravaganza? Wrong! On Friday, October 5th from 8pm, we will again be taking over the Crew Bar in Port Adriano for a fun-filled night of live music, food and ‘refreshments’, as we ditch our uniforms and let our hair down. As we all love those celebrity clients with their crazy demands, crazy fashion and cosmetic surgery, we’re inviting you to do your creative best and put yourselves in their shoes for one night. Raid your wardrobes, party store or local charity shop and wow us with your funniest fancy dress celebrity outfit (easy, if you’re doing Ron Jeremy…). Prizes will be awarded for the best costumes on the night, so don’t hold back! Return transport will be provided from STP and Club de Mar to Port Adriano, so we really hope you’ll be able to join us. Just tell us the name of the boat and number of guests needing transport. Pick-up from STP will be at 19:30, and opposite Club de Mar outside our office (Av Gabriel Roca 37) at 19:45. Please note there’s a free bar until 10pm (spirits not included) and return transport will be around […]

‘The Y’ Yachting Handbook 2018 Edition

Dear Friends, It is with great pleasure that we present the new 2018/19 edition of Estela’s ‘The Y’ Yachting Handbook. Having launched the handbook at this year’s MYBA and Palma Superyacht Show, we have been overwhelmed with everyone’s positive feedback. This year, we added many more destinations, along with updated regulations, places of interest and things to do, itineraries and important information for Captains, owners and crew. You will find the online version by clicking on the above page, and we hope you enjoy reading it as much as we have loved producing it. Any feedback will be much appreciated, as well as suggestions for the next handbook. If you would like us to deliver a hard copy on board, please let us know and we will be more than happy to drop one off.
