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.

An indispensable asset when cruising in the Balearic Islands area

Estela Shipping is following certain quality standards under the norm of the UNE-EN-ISO 9001:2008 as we put great emphasis on receiving feedback from our customers in order to constantly improve our services. In relation to this we developed a customer satisfaction sheet adapted to the standards that are asked for in the UNE-EN-ISO 9001:2008 regulations. Apart from that Estela Shipping is a member of the AYSS- Association of Yacht Support Services, a global network which you only can be part of if you meet certain quality standards and obtain recommendations from captains and industry companions. Therefore, we continuously send out customer satisfaction sheets. These official satisfaction sheets from the AYSS and UNE-EN-ISO 9001:2008 clearly state that all captains, crew and partner agencies that are working with us would recommend Estela Shipping to others. The AYSS recommendation sheet also includes the question if Estela Shipping can be considered as being fair and ethical and only if it is answered with a ¨yes¨ you can enter the AYSS. Other opinions by captains that were often used in this context are ¨indispensable asset when cruising in the Balearic Islands area ¨ or ¨available 24/7¨.
