‘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

WARNING: Posidonia Vandals Named and Shamed on Twitter

The Twitter feed of the Balearic Islands’ Ministry of Agriculture, the Environment and Regional Planning (CAIB) has been working overtime the past few weeks. The Ministry tracks, names and shames yachts that fall foul of the area’s strict anchoring laws, designed to protect the environment. Posidonia seagrass is considered to be the world’s oldest organism, at some 100,000 years old, and is responsible for the beautiful, turquoise waters that we all love so much. The Balearics boasts the largest Posidonia reef anywhere in the Mediterranean, so the local authorities are, rightly, very protective of this wonder of nature. Aware that private boat owners are mostly affluent individuals or corporations, fines for anchoring on Posidonia can be truly eye-watering, while the ultimate sanction for the most egregious offenders can include a custodial sentence! The good news is that any fine or sanction is entirely avoidable. As Balearic experts, Estela Shipping keep abreast of local rules and regulations, ensuring that our client Captains know to avoid anchoring in forbidden locations. So much so, our annual superyacht handbook, ‘The Y’ 2018/19, contains an entire section on Posidonia and other regulations. ‘The Y’ is free, so to obtain your copy just drop […]
