While maintaining the distinctive elegance and glamour of its ancestor, today’s Motopanfilo reflects the nature and usage of a modern yacht. The reinterpretation of traditional components found on classic boats such as the bulkheads, an age-old structural partition element, aspires to celebrate the sea as much as the idea of being on board a ship, whilst continuing to convey a sense of solidity and protection. www.benettiyachts.it/yachts/class/motopanfilo-37-m . . #benettiyachts #benetti #thehouseofyachting #FrancescoStruglia #LazzariniPickering

Visiting the Šolta, we stayed at the sheltered ‘Mojito Bay’. The name attracted us, that's why ;). The next day we noticed tourist boats in this bay stopped at a specific spot and people started looking at the water, sometimes swimming, but most of the time leaving again. It turned out that there was a shipwreck called ‘Kontesa’ which sank here and could easily be seen just below the crystal clear water! The ship was built in 1943 and served as a cargo vessel during World War II. After the war, it was sold and converted into a passenger ship, carrying tourists along the Croatian coast. Its sinking in the 1980s was due to a storm, and fortunately, all passengers and crew members were rescued safely. Today, the Shipwreck of Kontesa serves as a reminder of the island’s rich maritime history and provides a unique opportunity for visitors to explore and learn about underwater ecosystems. Over the years, the sunken ship has become a habitat for a wide range of marine life, including colorful fish, octopuses, crabs, and sea anemones. So I got my snorkeling gear and getting closer to the area you could see the top of the ship, it was only 1 or 2 meter under the waterline! Gilles filmed me with our waterproof Go Pro camera, while I was swimming towards the shipwreck.

Captain Rhys has spent a total of seven years exploring the seas, and he has been a professional sailor for nearly two years under the banner of Sail San Diego. One of his most cherished memories as a captain took place in the enchanting British Virgin Islands, where he had the opportunity to captain a magnificent 40-foot luxury Catamaran. When it comes to sea creatures, the Gray Whale holds a special place in Captain Rhys's heart, capturing his fascination and admiration. As for his sailing customs and rituals, he takes great pleasure in the tradition of untying lines, symbolizing the liberation and embarkation of each nautical journey.
