THE TEAM

“There is no doubt that Mona-

co, and the other pearls on the

Cote d’Azur, are the most visited

destinations and harbours in the

Mediterranean waters, especially

for superyachts. Yachting has a

major impact on Monaco – not only is it “a must” stop

destination, it is home to a major boat show, offers

some of the most scenic waters in the world, and the

yachting industry has a significant influence on the

local economy on several levels. So let us celebrate

yachting, whether private or charter, for the weekend

or a month, the important point is that the yachts

are taken out and enjoyed. Welcome summer and

welcome yachting!”

“My job takes me to many beau-

tiful and sunny places and in the

past year I visited -amongst oth-

ers- Greece twice, cruised the wa-

ters of Croatia and Montenegro is

getting a visit this summer. Thus, I

decided it was time to feature some of the highlights

of the Eastern Mediterranean. (see page 52).

If you are chartering in the Monaco area and feel

like adding variety to your holiday, the lovely people

at Luxury Water Toys have selected some great

gadgets for fun on the water. (see page 46).

Wishing you a great summer and see you in Monaco

in September.”

“After months of international

travel, it is regatta and spring party

time. A brief interlude to enjoy

some relaxing and sailing before

coming back with more exciting

news and developments.

We are looking forward to September where we can

showcase our progress and expansion at the Cannes

and Monaco Yacht Shows.”

Xavier Calloc’h: Publisher Servanne Sohier: Editorial Director Andrea Dini: Monaco

“Summer is upon

us once again and

a large number of

yacht owners will

be descending to

the Mediterranean

to sample the glamorous lifestyle,

picturesque beaches and the glori-

ous sunshine. However, the annual

influx of tourists also comes parallel

with an influx of organised criminal

gangs. Yachts and luxury homes are

clear symbols of wealth that are high

on the list of targets for these gangs.

In this edition, I give you some ad-

vice on how to protect your home or

yacht from unwanted intrusion

(see page 34).”

“There are few

more iconic symbols

than the Spirit of

Ecstasy. Exploring

Rolls-Royce’s new

off road vehicle was

eye-opening and fascinating. Explore

the Cullinan yourself (see page 60)

and discover the first super-luxury

all-terrain SUV.”

“Charter season

in the Med is truly

afoot, and it will

be an interesting

season with new

players in the mar-

ket from the digital world, such as

the much talked about and maligned

Ahoy Club which is shaking the mar-

ket up. This issue, as ever, I will be

looking at the owner and charterers

interests exploring how to protect

your charter (see page 30). I do hope

everyone has as good summer on

the water. “

”Monaco’s Tony

Mackay is set to

intensify compe-

tition in the cryp-

tocurrency arena

later this year with

the launch of Kryptos-X, a digital

asset marketplace with a difference

(see page 26). I spent a morning talk-

ing to him about his plans and the

impact cryptocurrencies are going

to have on the financial landscape

going forward.”
