Inside the adventures of superyacht owners around the world

It’s an amazingly engineered solution. We’re getting two antennas installed on Artefact, which should work out at roughly $5,000 (£4,400) a month, which is relatively inexpensive for the performance. On top of that, the hardware itself is costing around $10,000. Coverage isn’t global yet, but it should work in the places we’re planning to visit.

Will you keep any traditional satcom capacity?

Yes, since coverage isn’t 100 percent. The plan is to continue using VSAT and bonded 4/5G mobile connectivity for internet coverage in areas where Starlink doesn’t have coverage yet. As Starlink’s coverage expands globally, we’ll reduce dependency on these other services; however, we’ll keep VSAT as a backup

  • Newport is as much a tourist town as it is a seafarer city
  • The park is on the waterfront, which means boats can anchor out
  • The most famous harbor on Narragansett Bay is the one Newport

Ahpo saw owner Michael Lee-Chin reunite with Nuvolari Lenard, Lürssen and Moran Yacht & Ship – the same team that had worked on the creation of the 86 metre Quattroelle. One of the most talked about launches of the year, his new build was a big step forward in terms of size (she is 5,257 gross tonnes compared to Quattroelle’s 2,925), complexity and detail.

A true highlight was passing through the Panama Canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific side on Vijonara. The canal is an engineering masterpiece, opened in 1914 and operating flawlessly ever since. They can fill a lock, using only gravity, with about 300 million litres of water in eight minutes. The scale is mind-boggling, and I’m happy we got to experience it.

From Panama, the crew sailed the yacht to Tahiti in three weeks, and we joined them there for our summer vacation. It was an incredible experience, exploring all the islands and atolls that I dreamed of as a boy reading Captain Cook’s adventure stories. We went to Mo’orea, Bora Bora, Taha’a, Huahine…

Following a successful edition in Milan in 2022, the next edition of the Superyacht Design Festival will return to the mountains in the Italian town of Cortina d’Ampezzo. The opening evening will see the winners of the BOAT International Design & Innovation Awards crowned before two days of insightful talks, panel discussions and presentations from across the world of superyachts and design.

Between the Bays

  • Newport is as much a tourist town as it is a seafarer city
  • The park is on the waterfront, which means boats can anchor out
  • The most famous harbor on Narragansett Bay is the one Newport

Taking place in the Caribbean islands of Anguilla and Saint Martin, the inaugural Between the Bays event will see superyacht owners come together to enjoy two of Belmond’s finest properties – Cap Juluca and La Samanna. The four-day programme, which is supported by event sponsors Feadship and Anguilla Tourism, will include an adventure day exploring Anguilla, a cruise in company between the two islands and a closing party on La Samanna’s beach.

Every year, the finest sailing talents from across the world make the pilgrimage to the port of Gustavia for three days of exhilarating racing. The origins of the race date back to 1986 when a lack of trophy resulted in a bucket being presented to the victors. Nowadays, racing is a far more competitive affair, but the event still maintains its relaxed vibe, and onshore parties are an equally key component of the event.

At sea with Siebensee: Two superyacht furniture giants join forces

The following morning participating yachts will enjoy a cruise in company to the neighboring island of St Martin, home to the world-renowned Belmond, La Samanna.  Photographers will be on hand to capture the Between the Bays fleet underway on a cruise across the Anguillan channel.

Another added bonus is that the flight time to get to these mountains is usually reduced, and runs may end right on the shoreline, meaning that skiers and snowboarders can watch seals or penguins after they descend, before returning to the yacht by tender.

The second day gives attendees the chance to discover why Anguilla is considered one of the Caribbean’s most sought-after cruising destinations. Guests will take part in an island adventure with each yacht working together to decipher hints, enjoy activities and find hidden treasures around the island.

  • The yacht acts as a floating lodge, transporting you
  • An incredible way to access snow-packed areas

Controlled by a wireless remote with eight-speed settings, the board can run for an hour at a standard speed and can reach up to 16mph. A hydrofoil fin allows the board to skim the water (so there’s less bump from the waves). There’s a handle on both sides making it easy to climb up from the water and hold on when using it like a body board.

The hints and activities will celebrate Anguilla’s history and culture and give an insight into the varied activities it has to offer visitors. Guests will then enjoy beach games and a Belmond Beach pop-up luncheon in Crocus Bay at one of Anguilla’s most picturesque white-sand beaches – the perfect place to sample a traditional rum punch.
