🚤 The State of the Yacht Industry: Inflation, Rising Costs, and Changing Demographics 🌊 The yacht industry is facing tough times, and in this video, we break down exactly why. With over 30 years in the industry, we've witnessed both the highs and lows, but the current "perfect storm" of economic factors—rising inflation, higher interest rates, increased insurance costs due to storms, and the rapid spike in boat prices—has made this downturn particularly challenging. 🔹 Why are yacht prices so high? Learn about how the fallout from COVID-19 has caused the price of new catamarans to soar by 25-30%, making boat ownership unreachable for many who once could afford it. 🔹 Shifting Demographics & Boating Experiences The next generation of boaters is looking for the experience of yachting without the burden of private ownership. We explore the growing demand for yacht charters, managed boat programs, and crewed experiences that offer adventure without the responsibility. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or just looking for a relaxing escape, charter programs are becoming the go-to choice for those who want to enjoy life on the water. 🔹 What’s Next for the Yacht Market? As the market shifts, larger yachts like the highly anticipated Bali 5.8 are set to make waves. Set to debut at the Annapolis Boat Show, the Bali 5.8 offers luxury features—spacious layouts, innovative designs, and competitive pricing—making it a game-changer in the 60-foot class. It comes in at an impressive price point, significantly lower than other yachts in the same range, offering unbeatable value for buyers. 🔹 Luxury for Less: Crewed Yacht Charters The rise of crewed yacht charters is another trend reshaping the industry. Discover how the experience of chartering by the cabin on yachts like the Bali 5.8 is becoming more attractive to travelers who want a personalized cruise-like experience but with far more exclusivity and access to private beaches. 🎉 Join Us at the Annapolis Boat Show! We’re excited to unveil the new Bali 5.8 at the show, and we’ll be hosting an exclusive launch party. Don't miss your chance to see this stunning yacht firsthand and learn more about the future of the yachting industry.

MARINA DEGLI AREGAI - Nei giorni compresi tra il 22 e il 24 aprile 2017, il porto turistico di Marina degli Aregai ha ospitato la prima edizione di Oltremare Exposition. Lo stand numero 46, gestito dallo Yacht Club Aregai, ha messo a disposizione le imbarcazioni RS Feva XL, mediante le quali i visitatori più curiosi e interessati hanno potuto sperimentare lo sport della vela; tutto ciò si è potuto concretizzare mediante la collaborazione con la I Zona FIV offrendo la possibilità di tesserare tutti gli aspiranti velisti gratuitamente. Alto è stato l'afflusso dei partecipanti. Tutti i ragazzi si sono dimostrati soddisfatti al termine del breve tour in barca, grazie agli istruttori che hanno gestito l'evento con professionalità. Nell'ultimo giorno di manifestazione, vi è stata una piacevole collaborazione con gli amici del Circolo Nautico di Arma di Taggia: gli allievi hanno partecipato con entusiasmo a un'uscita con gli allievi della Scuola Vela Aregai. Per concludere si ringrazia: il porto di Marina degli Aregai, la I Zona FIV, il Circolo di Arma per la disponibilità mostrata nel fornire lo stand di un simulatore e istruttori provenienti da circoli differenti che hanno messo a disposizione esperienza e simpatia.
