Bradford Marine’s Post

Thrilled to present the best moments from our partner event Superyacht Summit held last week, focusing on yachting, nautical, and marine life themes. This year in Split we have gained insights into the industry's leading trends, understood the factors contributing to the high costs of yacht ownership, and learned what characteristics to consider when purchasing a new yacht. #ALBA #AdriaticLuxuryBusinessAssociation #adriaticluxury #yachting #conference

Good analysis in the latest issue of Yachting Monthly (March 2024) on the Chenal du Four, close my village.

[EXPUNGED] A lovely little example of when I put this ideology into practice was when I recently went on a week long Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Competent Crew Course with some fellow students at the University of Westminster. Originally, this trip was only open to full-time students but with a suitable amount of applied pressure (thanks Cher-Crystal Hewitt-De Lisle for the assist) I acquired a spot. I’m honestly in awe of how much of a good time I had, I reckon sailing is something I should have gotten into much earlier. Thank you The Royal Southern Yacht Club for offering every student who attended a free membership to the club, you’ll certainly be seeing a lot of me. Special thanks to Dr Phill McGowan for getting this trip off the ground, I know you had to slay some dragons to do so. Dr Jan Wilcox, Scott King, Teigan Newman thanks for being such legends and giving me faith in academia. Cheers to the following for making this old man feel like a proper student again: Lara Browne, Eric Gherman, Uzair Ali, Aryan Bassi, Funmi Gazal, Pamindu Thehan Gallehewa. …and as a bonus, as someone who loves etymology, did you know that the term telltale, as in, “His telltale smirk revealed he knew more than he was letting on.”, comes from the name of the little flapping ribbons on sails that let you know if you have them correctly trimmed (are at the correct angle to the wind)?

My thoughts on the recent Monaco Yacht Show. https://lnkd.in/ecB9WeqA #yachtlaw #superyachtindustry #maritimelaw #yachting #superyachtlaw #monacoyachtshow

🚤 **Monaco Yacht Show vs. METS: Where's the Real Action?** 🚤 A few weeks ago, I posted about the superyachts show, and Feadship dropped a bombshell: no stand at the Monaco Yacht Show this year! People were floored, but Farouk’s explanation made it all crystal clear. After chatting with various companies, I noticed a trend: everyone feels like they need to be at the Monaco Yacht Show, but no one’s really making it rain there. It’s more of a fancy yachting reunion than a sales bonanza. So, why do companies shell out big bucks for a show that doesn’t boost their bottom line? Is it fear of looking like they’ve hit rough seas if they skip it? Now, let's talk about METS (Marine Equipment Trade Show). I’m hearing rave reviews, and it seems like METS is set to grow even bigger. I’m curious: captains and owners' reps, do you actually hunt for refit or new build products at the Monaco Yacht Show, or is METS your go-to? And suppliers, don't be shy – jump in with your thoughts! I’ve tossed some suggestions to the METS crew, like creating secluded areas for project discussions, so people aren’t feeling like they're being stalked while checking out new products. So, let’s hear it! What’s your take? #YachtShow #METS #Superyachts #YachtingIndustry #Networking #Sales #MonacoYachtShow #MarineEquipmentTradeShow Amels B.V. METSTRADE Monaco Yacht Show S.A.M.

THOUGHTS FROM THE ANKOR TEAM ⚓ | Between the Cannes Yachting Festival, Monaco Yacht Show S.A.M., and the International Yacht Brokers Association (IYBA) Charter Seminar, our team have been learning a lot. Here are some insights...   1️⃣ Brokers don't need wholesome changes to the yacht hop experience, but they know there's a better way. We love seeing their jaws drop when they discover how much simpler things are with YachtNoter.   2️⃣ Internet connectivity at shows is still an issue (and it looks like it always will be). Thankfully, YachtNoter is built to work in low-connectivity environments. 3️⃣ The valuable experiences and insights we gain from spending time with our incredible customers are unparalleled. Thank you for helping us make YachtNoter, Trips and Ankor better and better!   Download YachtNoter ➡️ https://lnkd.in/grbrDuYq Book a time to chat to us online or at FLIBS ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gptg6Y2R

🛥 The keys to succeeding in brokerage by Antoine X. Larricq 🙏 de Fraser Yachts - 👏 Interview by Francesca Webster 📣 "In my view, you have to go through the whole spectrum of life at sea; spending time with crew, understanding the complexities of life onboard, repairing and cleaning a vessel, working in a shipyard – it is this that gives you a depth of understanding and teaches you that yachting is a human industry. " 📣 "The most successful brokers have an intimate knowledge of the way a yacht operates, and understand the value and importance of the crew." 📣 "I would also say that at the heart of the industry is the experience of yachting itself. There is a preoccupation with luxury in the sector today, but at its core, people buy yachts to enjoy the raw experience of yachting and an obsession with luxury will not help you build relationships." ⚓ This is why as naval technicians and captains - at CMM Yacht Service - we strongly bellieve that we are yacht brokers and not salesmen: ✅ Understanding the complexity of a yacht, ✅ Knowing who rules the world at sea, ✅ Giving the best advices to yachtmen (One yacht, one programme), ✅ Educating new owners to optimize their benefits from her.
