“Not all yacht shows are the same,” comments YPI Senior Yachting Consultant Eric Althaus. “But the Monaco and Cannes Shows are two examples where our clients properly get to see some of the vey best products and services available on the market today all in one place – whether they are buying, selling or building”.
YPI will be holding a stunning display of superyachts at each show whilst offering additional VIP tenders and limousines for clients to ensure their time at the show goes as smooth as possible.

Feadship has announced that it will be attending the Cannes International Yacht and Boat Show for the first time.

The world’s leading luxury motoryacht builder will feature one of its latest launches, the 39-meter Go. After wowing the crowds in Cannes from 8 to 13 September, Go will then join other larger yachts in the Feadship fleet at the Monaco show.
The third yacht in Feadship’s pioneering SL39 modular concept, Go is every inch a customized superyacht above the waterline. Her archetypal Feadship exterior profile has been designed by De Voogt Naval Architects, while the relatively modern interior comes from FPA Architects. The designers have taken the way modern owners enjoy cruising as
their template, creating a yacht that is characterized by bright spaces, wide relaxation areas
and a variety of places to make the most of an ‘outdoor-in’ lifestyle.

Interview of the final members of Adela’s crew as they prepare for the start of the Pendennis Cup

The Stewardess:
The crew mess is certainly living up to its name this morning. I’m told Carrie, the stewardess, is somewhere around here, but I was never any good at hide and seek. Sure enough, she pokes her head out from under the huge pile of polo, rugby and t-shirts. « Good morning, had a nice nap? » I ask; she doesn’t seem too fazed by the situation, « Oh, it’s like this every time we race. »
She wiggles herself free and is doing marvelously well to stay so calm, considering the fact that over 30 extra race crew will be arriving onboard on Sunday afternoon for the pre-race practice. Read the rest of this entry »

From 22 to 25 September 2010, the Monaco Yacht Show again promises to be the international business hub for the yachting and luxury sectors.

500 major companies exhibiting – 88% being returnees, which certainly proves how important the MYS is to the industry –, a fleet of 100 magnificent superyachts from 25m up to 90m in length, plus upwards of 27,000 private and business visitors expected.
The undeniable quality of business networking offered by the Monaco Yacht Show is an important factor in its exhibitors’ success: the cocktail parties, social events, breakfast discussions and press conferences that participating companies organise on board yachts and in the Principality’s luxury hotels provide ideal opportunities for making B2B and B2C contacts.
