EXPAND YOUR REACH WITH NAUTICALL YACHTING SERVICES

“It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Nauticall and their entire team.  The support and professionalism of each team member should be an industry benchmark for others to follow.  I highly recommend them to industry peers and colleagues.”

CAPTAIN - 64m

“Full Management of the vessel was taken over in October 2021, during this process, NauticALL was able to update all the ships documentation, Class and Flag state inspection. They have been instrumental in getting vendors and inspections scheduled with works completed in a timely manner.

We have also used the Crew placement division for full and part time employment and have been very Happy with the caliber of Individuals that have been employed.

The accounting is reliable and thorough, They are working well with the officers to ensure that the owner has a good overview of the spending reports.

Gianfranco and his Team have a great rapport with all crew and owner, creating a harmonious work environment with effective communication.”

CAPTAIN - 40m

“Our program gets the real management support that we need with a Team of professionals that understand daily operations and truly help us. It’s refreshing to use NauticALL ISM App as it makes our life easier, filing checklists and forms in swift and paperless manner working on and offline. We have had several authorities praising us for the detailed and efficient safety management system that has been implemented on board. I strongly recommend NauticALL to any program for their management services.”

CAPTAIN - 60m

“I appointed NauticALL to help me in sourcing the right shipyard for a custom 50m project and they have been very professional and truly assisting me in the process. Once the yard was selected I appointed NauticALL as my Technical & Project management on site starting with an impressive technical Specification review.  As a new owner, NauticALL has helped me and my family understand all aspects of a New Build, the operations to follow and bringing lots of experience and technical expertise to the table. I can’t imagine doing it without NauticALL’s help and getting the same results which ended up exceeding my expectations.”

OWNER - 52m

“We used to source our own crew members directly, with a high turnover rate and spending a fair amount of money on flights, training and required paperwork to than see the crew leave at their first opportunity. We have been using NauticALL crew placement services and it has been not only beneficial for the entire work environment on board, but it also had a positive impact on budget and quality of service. NauticALL crewing agents take recruitment off our hands completely. They provide a thorough vetting for each candidate, verification of credentials, reference checking with reliable sources and different levels of interviews to than present each candidate with all the details we need to know. NauticALL  has by far outperformed out agencies for me, mainly because they listen to our needs, know the vessel and on top of that they used to work on yachts so they know exactly what we are look for and so far they have been fantastic”

Global Yacht Service & Support

Our boat builder’s commitment to the yacht owner.

Westport offers a full range of owner services, designed to keep every yacht meticulously maintained for flawless performance, total onboard enjoyment and maximum return at re-sale time.

At Westport, We Take The Service of Your Yacht Seriously – 24 Hours a Day

Westport’s commitment to serving our customers begins the moment each owner signs the contract to purchase a new or brokerage yacht.

At delivery, owner and captain are presented with a list of contacts at the appropriate sales center, in the service department and at the shipyard, for 24 hour-a-day access and immediate response to any need.

Stability in Personnel – Relationships

You will find a consistent relationship with the people you have come to identify and call upon during the entire length of your new construction process and delivery. Westport is proud of our decades-long company associates. The majority of the Westport craftsmen, office associates, management, and sales & services associates have been with the company for over a decade. Many have tenures of several decades.

Yacht Service & Support Anywhere in the World – From The Start

Once final commissioning is complete, experienced service representatives accompany your crew for a comprehensive sea trial and orientation, so that your Westport Yacht is delivered ready for you to board and enjoy.

Following delivery, Westport maintains regular contact with each yacht, to ensure the vessel’s satisfactory operation and advise crew on maintenance issues.

At Westport, we take service seriously. If, for example, you experience a problem, we don’t expect you to find and contact the manufacturer in order to chase down the warranty claim or repair/replacement.

Call Westport Yachts and Let Us Take Care of it For You

That way, your yacht will maintain its like-new condition, along with a detailed service and maintenance log, important and valuable documentation at resale time.

Delivering the Yachting Experience of A Lifetime

Our customers are buying an experience — adventure, relaxation, socializing and fun — as much as they’re buying a product. Westport’s obligation is to ensure that every yacht delivers that experience consistently from day one, and we believe that the best way to accomplish that is through sustaining a close relationship with the owner and crew of each vessel.

We have a growing number of second and third-time owners who apparently agree.

Service and Support – Around the World

Westport yachts – exceptional yacht building & superyacht craftsmanship.

After the fire: St. Andrews Bay Yacht Club focused on revitalizing this coming summer

PANAMA CITY — In November, the St. Andrews Bay Yacht Club building on Bunkers Cove Road was destroyed in a fire. Ever since then, questions have circulated around the community: How did the fire start? Would the Yacht Club rebuild?

The Yacht Club was up and operational for business within weeks of the fire. The Yacht Club is still taking in new members, as well. Members have joined the club even after the fire.

”The Yacht Club is in better shape than people would have imagined,” said Michael Wynn, 2024 commodore. “The staff members that we have are family to us. We believe and give to them and they give back to us.”

Wynn explained that one club member had this to say after the fire: “The clubhouse was just a building; the Yacht Club is about the people.”

The Yacht Club has discussed expanding its sailing center to provide greater resources for the community. The club expects the plans and renderings for the new club facility will be unveiled this summer.

Some of the staff members have left the club since the incident and others have stayed.

“Our staff is smaller now since the fire,” said Wynn. “We have less services being offered at the moment, but many staffers who left the club for other jobs have offered to come back once the club becomes (fully) operational again.”

The cause of the fire is still unknown. There have been different ideas and theories on how the fire started, but there has not been a definitive answer. But there was no foul play, Wynn emphasized.

”Right now, we don’t have a final number on what it’s going to cost to rebuild,” said Wynn. “We have architects and plans on rebuilding. We have members of the community who are donating services to help cut the cost (of our rebuild).”

More information about the club will be released closer to the clubhouse reopening. Wynn said the rebuild will both honor the club's history and heritage and also add modern touches.

Previous coverage: More details released as Panama City monitors St. Andrews Bay Yacht Club fire site

Wynn said the club's experience dealing with insurance after the fire has been good and the matter soon will be resolved. The experience was much better than the ones many people had after Hurricane Michael, he noted.

Wynn also is humbled and gratified by the outpouring of support and dedication from his fellow club leaders and all club members. He knew his one-year term as commodore, which began in January, would be full of challenges. But the club has rallied because the tradition and legacy mean so much.

"People care so deeply," he said.

• Introducing Experience Yacht Services: The Latin American Yachting Alliance Shaking up the Industry

Latin America is now, more than ever, a natural yachting paradise. Accessible year round, a short hop via the Panama Canal from the Caribbean or a straight shot across from French Polynesia, and with safe, predictable weather patterns, this area of the Pacific is yours to navigate. The Galapagos Islands, Panama and Costa Rica stand out from the crowd as unmissable for any megayacht itinerary, and Experience Yacht Services (EYS) are here to make your visit to them exceed even the highest of expectations.

The Superyacht Experts

“EYS works so well because we are all companies with high standards of quality and knowledge in our fields, and of the countries in which we operate.” (Allan Lucas, Maritima Interoceanica CR)

We are a dynamic alliance of five specialist businesses who, by joining forces, encompass the vast portfolio of technical, logistical and experiential resources needed to manage the unique demands of a modern megayacht. As suppliers of both yacht agency and itinerary design services for Panama, Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands, we provide captains and owners with creative and efficient solutions to meet any and every requirement. Our combined years of experience give us an expertise above and beyond our competitors, allowing us to offer bespoke and wide-ranging support and assistance of the highest standard.

At the very heart of EYS are five business leaders who have a deep passion for and broad knowledge of yachting. They, Ofer Ketter and Felipe Artinano of Origen Escapes , Allan Lucas of Maritima Interoceanica CR , Jonathan Zelcer of Truly Panama , Joe Walden of Norton Lilly International (Panama) and Johnny Romero of Galapagos Yacht Services , have not only bought together their expertise as industry-leading yacht agents and itinerary designers but a shared set of values; excellence, creativity, integrity, a client-first mentality, and to be leaders in sustainability and protectors of the environments in which EYS works.

“EYS brings a unique perspective to the yachting world in which we are able to harness the collective experience and vision of our alliance partners in order to showcase and promote our region.” (Joe Walden, Norton Lilly International (Panama) )

In short, we provide the highest level of yachting logistics and create adventure-filled, bespoke itineraries for superyachts visiting Costa Rica, Panama and the Galapagos.

In Panama, Norton Lilly International covers Panama Canal transits and yachting logistics while Truly Panama curates meaningful and high-quality itineraries. In Costa Rica, Maritima Interoceanica CR handles port agency services and logistical support while Origen Escapes designs epic itineraries and unique experiences. In the Galapagos Islands, Galapagos Yacht Services provides both yacht services and tour operations.

From permits and provisioning to incredible experiences on land and sea, with us, every service is covered. We have a broad knowledge of the requirements, wants and needs of yacht captains and owners and pride ourselves on our flexible approach to providing for them. Working with all five partners, you’ll receive fully integrated services throughout your time in Costa Rica, Panama and the Galapagos Islands, but each partner remains an independent entity, so you are able to choose the most appropriate partner/s to fit your needs. There are no obligations to work with all or any other partners, no commissions, and all your dealings will be with each business directly.

Our Destinations

“We felt it was time to put this incredible region, with three amazing yachting destinations, officially on the superyacht industry map.” (Ofer Ketter, Origen Escapes)

Costa Rica, with its 800 mile coastline dotted with safe, scenic anchorage sites, offers endless exhilaration, from swimming with mega pods of dolphins to adventuring through rainforest, volcanoes, rivers and valleys in an incredible assortment of ways.

Panama is a continental crossroads where, connected by the Panama Canal, two vast coastlines offer a multitude of marinas and anchorages from which to explore a land of paradise beaches, life-filled rainforest and the age-old traditions of indigenous communities.

The Galapagos’ isolated archipelago of islands, islets and rocks hide unique and fragile ecosystems. Anchoring in the wildlife rich waters gives access to otherworldly volcanic landscapes and the curious creatures who call them home, many of which are found nowhere else in the world.

Together, our three amazing destinations form a triangle of yachting hotspots, each distinct and sublime in its nature, culture and the experiences it provides, each crying out to be explored.

*** “…Costa Rica, Panama and the Galapagos are prime untouched superyacht cruising areas, and we want the entire industry to know it!” (Ofer Ketter, Origen Escapes)

Under the EYS banner, each of our five partners is working to open up the waters of Latin America to superyachts and megayachts, to highlight both the extensive infrastructure already in place and unparalleled beauty of the region.

We look forward to welcoming you aboard!

“It was created as the conduit for a thrilling experience—watching whales around the boat, dolphins surfing bow waves or passing glaciers in icy waters,” says Enrique Tintore, design manager for the Dutch line of expedition yachts , ranging from 197 to 345 feet. “The idea is to maximize the connection with nature, to look down over the front of the bow and feel an unusual connection. That’s something you can’t do on any other yacht.”

The open bows of Ferretti Yachts’ Infynito 90 , and recently announced Infynito 80, are less concerned with off-grid travel, but more about social possibilities. More cruiser than explorer, the 90 has an “All Season Terrace” that connects directly with yacht’s outer passageways all the way back to the aft cockpit. The 90’s bow area is designed to be private, but still open, configured with lounges, a forward sunpad and Jacuzzi. Owners can even opt for a cocktail bar with stools. Like the Damen Xplorer, it has open sides and an open front, but the overhead offers protection with slats that can open if the owner and guests want direct sunlight. “We created it as an oasis to put the people living on board front and center,” says Ferretti’s Filippo Salvetti.

Both designers claim there are no structural downsides to these unusual bows, though Tintore admits that “green water” could wash over the front during rough-water crossings. “But guests can just step back into the enclosed observation lounge to enjoy the action with a cocktail.”

Are Donald Trump's Luxury Plane, Yacht, Other Luxury Assets at Risk?

Donald Trump faces a Monday deadline to post bond while he appeals Judge Arthur Engoron 's ruling that the former president has to pay roughly $454 million in penalties for fraud.

If he doesn't come up with the money, New York Attorney General Letitia James may begin taking steps to freeze his bank accounts in order to deliver the cash or other forms of payments to her New York office.

Engoron ruled that Trump and top executives at The Trump Organization inflated the value of his assets to obtain more favorable terms from lenders and insurers. The lawsuit initially sought $250 million in damages, but James later increased the amount to $370 million, plus interest.

Trump's legal team said paying the full civil fraud penalty would be "a practical impossibility," leading to speculation that James could soon start seizing the president's properties or that he may be forced to sell off some of his real estate empire to pay the fine.

However, rather than seizing properties, Trump may see luxury items like his private jet and yacht taken by authorities.

Trump has a Boeing 757 private jet that he paid $100 million for in 2011 and owns a yacht worth $115 million. Thomas Gift. who heads the Centre on U.S. Politics at University College London, told Newsweek that they would be "a lot easier to liquidate" than his properties.

Newsweek contacted a representative for Trump by email for comment.

"Trump's luxury possessions would almost certainly prove a lot easier to liquidate than some of his marquee properties," Gift said. "Whether the sum total of those items would be sufficient to raise enough funds that Trump owes the court is unclear.

"What is obvious is that if Trump is forced to sell Mar-a-Lago, especially at a fire sale price, it will create an even greater impression in the minds of MAGA voters that Trump's political enemies are out to get him."

• Fox News fact-checks Donald Trump bond claim: "Actually not true"
• Donald Trump rages at property seizures as deadline looms
• Donald Trump complains about Fox News coverage of his fraud case

Todd Landman, a professor of political science in the School of Politics and International Relations at the University of Nottingham, told Newsweek it is more likely liquid assets will be seized first.

"The order of priority as I understand it is to seize as much liquid asset as possible, followed by physical assets," he said. "As we know, much of the real estate is either partially controlled by Trump or is leveraged such that any seizure would need to factor in existing loans and penalties.

"Seizure of items such as planes and luxury cars would also need to factor in whether these are owned outright or have loans behind them. Even if they are owned outright, seizure of these kind of assets would not add up to the significant amount of money required by the judgment."

Christopher Phelps, a professor of modern American history at the University of Nottingham, said real estate would be preferable.

"Cars, planes, yachts and such property are depreciating assets," he told Newsweek. "As most consumers recognize, the minute you drive a car off the showroom floor, it loses considerable value. So the authorities would much prefer real estate, which tends over time to hold its value and appreciate in value, despite cycles.

"With many billionaires, rare artwork would be a possibility, but let's just say that Trump is not universally renowned as a man of aesthetic taste. The paintings he has amassed are apparently heavy on portraits of himself."

Ahead of the deadline, Trump took to Truth Social to say that Engoron and James should not be allowed to take his assets, repeating his assertion that he had "done nothing wrong." But he has yet to announce how his fine will be paid or what alternative action he may take.

These are the biggest and most expensive boats at 2024's Palm Beach yacht show

• The Palm Beach International Boat Show kicks off later this week.
• Eight megayachts are expected to be on display for would-be buyers and charter customers.
• These are the show's biggest yachts — and how many millions of dollars they are going for.

The Palm Beach International Boat Show — the yacht world's flashiest event stateside — is returning this year with over 800 boats for both deep-pocked potential owners and window shoppers to peruse.

While it's impossible to know what exactly will be on display until the show begins on Thursday, it's expected that eight megayachts — generally defined as ships over 60 meters long — will be docked at the show and at nearby marinas like the Rybovich Marina in the ritzy Florida town.

Some of these are for sale at eye-popping prices, but others are available to if in case you fancy living like a billionaire for a week or two this summer (and if you have six figures to spare on a vacation).

These are the eight biggest yachts that will be at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, in size order.

Nero: 90.1 meters

Price: From $497,000 a week (charter)

Standout features: Pizza ovens, beauty salon, massage room, resistance pool

Reportedly owned by Irish billionaire Denis O'Brien, Nero is modeled after J.P. Morgan's 1930s ship , and was built in 2007 and updated in 2021.

She now boasts a gym on her sundeck with multiple cardio machines and a beauty salon, and has an on-board beautician for manicure, pedicure, hair, and massage needs. There's also an upgraded movie theater, two new pizza ovens, and both a pool and a jacuzzi.

For those who want to go overboard, she has more than a dozen toys, including a waterslide, Jet Ski, and flyboard.

Victorious: 85 meters

Price: From $876,600 a week in the summer and $950,000 a week in the winter

Standout features: Hammam (Turkish bath), wine cellar, wood-burning fireplace, children's playroom

Victorious brings a party vibe to the yacht show. With a beach club on board, a wine cellar, a cigar clubroom , multiple bars, and a lounge with a piano, the vessel is made for entertaining. Plus, there's a playroom and movie theater to entertain the kids.

For tamer charter clients, Victorious has a suite of wellness features such as a gym, massage room, beauty salon and hammam, or Turkish bath — perhaps a custom request of her owner, Turkish businessman Vural Ak.

She also boasts a treasure trove of water toys, including Jet Skis, jetsurfs, inflatable kayaks, and scuba equipment.

Casino Royale: 72 meters

Special Features: Infinity pool, helipad, private jacuzzi

Purchased and refitted by car dealer magnate John Staluppi last year, Casino Royale is the latest of his James Bond-inspired yachts (he's also owned an Octopussy and a Skyfall, among others).

Casino Royale has a helipad that turns into a dancefloor, an infinity pool, and a wellness center with a gym and sauna. The owner's cabin has its own deck, which features a private bar and jacuzzi.

However, the boat's price isn't listed, and while she's not necessarily officially for sale, that might change depending on who's prepared to buy, Mr. Bond.

Talisman C: 70.6 meters

Price: $60 million (or from $567,000 a week to charter)

Special features: Massage and beauty room, private library

Likely the largest yacht for sale (not just charter) at the show, the Talisman C is a 2011 six-bedroom boat. The owner's cabin comes with an en suite bathroom, dressing room, private library, and crystal chandeliers.

Amenities include a gym, a beauty room, oversized jacuzzi, and a fully equipped bar. Her crew of 19 includes a trained masseuse, and the toy room comes equipped with a wakeboard, eFoil , and WaveRunners.

Joy: 70 meters

Price: From $650,000 a week

Special features: Disco club, basketball court, onboard fitness instructor

Superyacht Joy testifies to the fact that owners want as many on-board experiences as they can get.

There's an expansive suite of fitness features, including a basketball court (don't shoot that hoop too hard!), a personal trainer on staff, boxing equipment, and a handful of machines. For post-workout winddowns, there's a spa with a steam room and onboard masseuse. And for entertainment, there's both an outdoor and indoor cinema, and a disco club.

Triumph: 65.4 meters

Price: From $707,600 a week in the summer and $650,000 a week in the winter

Special features: Sauna, helipad, banana boat

This 2021 superyacht is named after Triumph motorcycles — a reported favorite of her rumored owner, British businessman Chris Dawson — and even has one on display as an art piece in the upper deck's lounge. The primary suite is 1,400 square feet and has its own study , and there's a sauna, an indoor-outdoor gym, a helipad, and a massage room spread among her six decks.

She boasts an "armada of water toys," including two kinds of Jet Skis, electric water bikes, and a banana boat.

Seanna: 64.5 meters

Price: $54,000,000 (or from $462,000 a week to charter)

Special features: marble foyer, movie room, sundeck pool

The recently refurbished Seanna is available for sale and charter.

Her indoor-outdoor gym is on sea level so that passengers can take a dip after a session with the onboard personal trainer. There's also a sundeck pool, a helipad, a two-room massage facility, and, for the more cerebral guests, a library with an electric fireplace.

There are a number of toys on board, including a popular water trampoline and two WaveRunners.

Come Together: 60 meters

Price: $65,000,000

Special Features: DJ and videographer on board, ice bath, sauna

Next-to-new yacht Come Together is looking for a new owner after doing charters during the 2023 season.

The Beatles' influence is evident beyond the yacht's name, with guitars dotting the sky lounge and a crewmember who doubles as a DJ. There's also an outdoor cinema and bar for entertainment and an ice bath and sauna for the day after the party. The owner's suite has a private study and lounge, and each guest cabin has its own ensuite.

The sale includes a number of toys, like Jet Skis, kayaks, and Seabobs.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
