After building a buzz for a couple of years now, Marina Port Vell’s developer Salamanca Group is embarking on the marina’s second development phase. Ultimately, Port Vell will have berths ranging from 33 feet (10 meters) to 591 feet (180 meters) with a majority in the 60- to 90-meter range.
Off the usual South Pacific cruising paths, New Caledonia offers unsurpassed snorkeling and diving in the world’s largest lagoon, and a lively indigenous culture. The owner of the 164-foot (50-meter) motoryacht Mary Jean, who spent time there earlier this year, takes us on a diving journey around this little-known but incredible territory.
Set on the scenic eastern shores of St Lucia, The Jalousie Plantation has completed a three-year, multi-million dollar transformation. On November 30th, it will be rechristened as Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Resort. The hotel still has its French Caribbean charm, but little else save the location remains as it was.

The Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, cable cars, Lombard Street, Alcatraz—San Francisco is unquestionably one of the world’s most iconic cities. Soon San Francisco will also be able to add the 34th America’s Cup finals to its pedigree.
If you’re considering a cruise through South America sometime soon, you may want to double check the cost of docking and marine services in Argentine ports. Marine service provider Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS), which recently expanded its presence in Latin America with an office in Port Montt, Chile, sent out an advisory concerning the rise of inflation in Argentina.
Just before the community celebrated its second anniversary, Albany is expanding with the construction of brand new Marina Residences. Located near Nassau in The Bahamas, Albany has been welcomed by the island. “This important second phase of construction at Albany is a terrific vote of confidence for the Commonwealth of The Bahamas,” said Bahamas Prime Minister Perry Christie.
Beautiful but remote, the Mexican peninsula of Baja was often overlooked as a cruising destination, attracting mostly adventurous travelers and sportfishermen. But a recent trip has shown us that the region has become increasingly well suited to cruising yachts and luxury travelers, without losing any of its natural charm or its wilder side.
Playing a new course during a yacht holiday is always a special pleasure. For golfers afloat, keeping a spare set of clubs on board is a given. But what if you had a private coach on board, who brought along a swing machine and worked with you on your short game on the aft deck and performed video analysis in the screening room at the end of the day?
