Complimentary berthing for Gulf Craft yachts

In a newly announced collaboration, which is said to be unprecedented in the marine industry, Porto Montenegro and Gulf Craft have joined forces to offer complimentary home port berthing for owners choosing to base their yachts in Porto Montenegro. Buyers of new Gulf Craft purchased in 2022/2023 are offered annual or seasonal berthing free of charge and owners who purchased a Gulf Craft in 2021 will be given a 40% discount. For Gulf Craft owners taking advantage of this exceptional berthing offer, Porto Montenegro provides an array of additional, highly attractive lifestyle benefits, including complimentary Silver Membership of Porto Montenegro Yacht Club for two people. Members have access to the spectacular Yacht Club Pool, the Sailing Squadron and the Sports Club, with their excellent services and amenities, as well as reciprocal membership privileges in more than 15 yacht clubs around the world. The Emirates Team New Zealand and the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron have announced that Barcelona will be the host venue for the 37th America’s Cup, scheduled to be held in September and October, 2024. The NZ team will defend the title it won in Auckland last year, beating Italy’s Luna Rossa 7-3 in the final. Barcelona already has existing facilities for racing, team bases and technical infrastructure, as well as areas for the America’s Cup event village to host fans, hospitality and media. It also has an average wind range of 9-15 knots during the September-October race window.

Berthing package for hurricane season

Port Louis Marina, which is operated by Camper & Nicholsons Marinas on the spice island of Grenada in the Caribbean, has relaunched its 90-day berthing package for the forthcoming hurricane season, offering a competitively-priced solution to safe mooring throughout the season. The marina itself benefits from being a ‘Port of Entry’ on the island with its own outstanding facilities. Berths are provided with electricity and water, high speed WiFi and are protected by 24/7 security. Either on-site or within walking distance of the marina are a supermarket, shopping, fitness centre, swimming pool and chandlery store.
