A PIONEERING SUPERYACHT AGENCY

Support at every stage of your journey

 

WE PROVIDE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING CAPTAINS, OWNERS AND CREW REQUIRE

 

Operating in the Balearics since 1850, Estela is a leader in innovation, creativity and professionalism in the yacht industry. We build relationships with people, we provide information and inspiration, and give guidance and support to captains and crew, owners and guests.

Just one example of how we work is our annual Superyacht Handbook, ‘The Y’, an indispensable resource for yacht cruising the Mediterranean and beyond. Not only does 'The Y' provide important information for captains, but it suggests itineraries and places of interest that are out of the ordinary.

In addition to a busy yacht show schedule, each year we host at least four social events that have become must-attend gatherings for yachties in Mallorca, such as our Superyacht Poker Tournaments and the End of Season Party.

With offices in Palma, Barcelona, Cuba and Panama, and a partner network spanning the globe, we service all needs for a wide range of private and commercial clients in the maritime world.

Superyacht Poker Tournament

Estela’s third Superyachts Poker Tournament at Palma Casino was another fun night of Texas Hold ‘Em, with some 40 entrants playing hard until late into the night, for some €2000 in prize money. The winner walked off with over €1000, while another beneficiary was the humanitarian charity, Yacht Aid Global. 15% of the total prize fund was again donated to this highly effective organisation, though the proceeds were on this occasion re-directed to the local cause of Mallorcan skipper Xisco Prieto, hospitalised in an unprovoked attack in San Remo. Xisco’s family are raising funds for a medical flight home, as his insurance won’t cover the cost of his repatriation. Our thanks go to Capt Tim Forderer of Yacht Aid Global, who promptly offered to donate all charitable proceeds towards Xisco’s repatriation. If you would like to help Xisco’s family bring him home, you can donate via this link. As we go to press, the total raised is still €2,000 short of their €25,000 goal, so any donation will be hugely appreciated. If you would like to help Yacht Aid Global and support its humanitarian initiatives around the globe, you can do so via this link. Thanks also go to our sponsors for […]

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 […]

Crew heading to Florida or the Caribbean? Best get your visa in order quickly!

The requirements for visiting, or working in, US territories have changed significantly since the end of last season and yacht crew have increasingly seen their B1/B2 visa applications denied.   As the only yacht consignatory agents in Palma de Mallorca, we have a track record for dealing efficiently with immigration and port authorities. Our expertise is not limited to the Balearics and we have been busy assisting captains and crew travelling across to the US for the winter season in obtaining their B1/B2 visas.   US Customs and Border Protection paperwork has never been straightforward and there are a number of new pitfalls to steer clear of, to avoid delays in obtaining the right visa.   If you need help with your application, email us at palma@superyachts.agency or telephone Kristy Hollingsworth on +34 619 655 955.
