Hello yachties.

This year really hasn't gone to plan has it? I mean, we knew that already really. But just as we started to believe that we would still be able to enjoy some boat shows in the final months of 2019, our hopes have been dashed late in the day.

With the news last week that Cannes Yachting Festival had been cancelled followed shortly after by the announcement that METSTRADE had suffered the same fate, boat show season has been well and truly wiped out this year. Given the health and safety risks associated with hosting such events I think the outcome is understandable. We just have to hope that the landscape is different in 2021 to enable the superyacht industry to come together once again.

Until then, attention turns back to the present - and no matter what you get up to, Yachting Pages has got your back. No matter what you''re looking for in the coming weeks, we're sure to have you covered.

The 25,000 businesses listed on our website are ready should you need a product, service or supplier, while our vast library of insightful Ask The Expert and Crew Corner articles remain on hand should you require advice. We're not the superyacht industry's number one resource for nothing!

A big reminder to owners, captains and crew reading this: Please remember that as of last month (3rd June), French laws came into effect which stipulate that wildlife - most notably posidonia/seagrass - must not be damaged due to boating acitivites.

Until we meet again in September, keep safe and well.

Ahoy yachties.

In comparison to other years, September has been pretty quiet, hasn't it? No boat shows to speak of, limited travel possibilities and a much more tame end to the Med season. Sadly it sums up 2020 pretty perfectly.

While we missed our annual outings to Cannes and Monaco, we all recognise that the prevalence of COVID-19 across the world left organisers with no choice. It was for the greater good and that's more important than anything else.

Here at Yachting Pages we're always keen to look forward rather than dwell on the past, so we've turned our attention to what''s coming up in October...

We've got some really exciting news that we can't wait to share with you all in due course, as YP undergoes a bit of a makeover. Keep your eyes peeled over the coming days and weeks to find out more! Needless to say, we're looking forward to letting you all know what we've been up to in recent months.

In the meantime, carry on utilising YP for whatever you might need - be it to search for a product, service or supplier, or to gain insight into the yachting industry via our Crew Corner articles.

Until next time, stay safe!

Ahoy yachties.

November is almost over and our sights turn towards the end of another year - and I think we can all agree that we'll be relieved to see the back of this one.

Thanks to COVID-19 we''ve faced lockdowns, restrictions and a distinct lack of social interaction with loved ones. To say 2020 has been a challenge would be an understatement.

With this in mind, it's fantastic news that a number of vaccine candidates have proven successful and will soon be rolled out to protect us all. This is our route out of the pandemic and is a great note for us to end the year on. Hopefully it means we can all look forward to brighter times ahead in 2021.

Here at YP we are excited to see what next year brings, but for now we're looking forward to sharing some new content with you as we approach Christmas!

In the coming weeks we will be sharing a number of end-of-year content pieces, including a look at the best ways to celebrate Christmas on board and the biggest superyachts built this year. Keep your eyes peeled as we share both new and existing content throughout December!

We're also geared up for a busy month of searches, with Ports & Marinas and Yacht Agents among the most-searched categories on yachtingpages.com each December. Interestingly, the average number of Yacht Agents searches on our website each month is larger than the number of searches Google receives. That's the power of YP!

Until next time, stay safe!

Hello everybody. On behalf of the Yachting Pages team, I want to pass on my sincere hope that you and your loved ones are safe and well.

Much of the superyacht industry has been at a standstill due to COVID-19 and businesses have had to slow down their operations in-line with demand. It''s all been very strange - but necessary - to ensure we protect our families, our friends, our colleagues and our businesses.

The big thing that I hope everyone has learned during the coronavirus outbreak so far, however, is that we are not alone. We are all in this together. It has been brilliant to see individuals doing what they can to interact and keep in touch with the people they hold dear, and here at Yachting Pages we are no different.

Throughout the pandemic we have ensured we continue to provide insightful and entertaining content, to keep you well informed, inspired and suitably distracted during these difficult times. We will continue to do this over the coming days and weeks across all of our outlets and social media platforms, so stay tuned and we will do our best to provide you with some welcome escapism.

Among our new features is the first in our new series of marketing tips guides, which outlines why marketing - now more than ever - is absolutely essential. We''ve also delved into the potentially positive environmental changes we''ve experienced as a result of the pandemic, which makes for very interesting and uplifting reading. Check them out if you haven''t already.

Like all good friends, YP will remain by your side every step of the way - during the pandemic and beyond. Remember, we are only a click away if you need us.

Until next time, stay safe.

Hello yachties.

And just like that we're into July with August just around the corner. It hasn't been the big and exciting Med season we were all hoping for, but at least we are enjoying a form of season now - it's definitely better than nothing given where we were a few months ago.

In our June newsletter we expressed our happiness that both Cannes Yachting Festival and Monaco Yacht Show were due to go ahead as planned in September. In typical fashion Monaco was cancelled a day later, much to everyone's disappointment. The 30th edition of the show will now take place in 2021 instead.

We can still look forward to Cannes Yachting Festival this year, however, with show organisers reiterating earlier this month that the show will go ahead as planned from the 8th to 13th September. This is really good news and everyone here at YP is looking forward to attending and catching up with as many people as we can.

Remember, as the season ebbs on, we've got everything you could possibly need. If you're looking for a product, service or supplier, we've got over 25,000 businesses listed online that are ready and waiting to hear from you. Alternatively, if you need advice or insight into a particular facet of the superyacht world, we have a library of articles designed to tell you everything you need to know. From Ask The Expert to Crew Corner, Yachting Pages is the only resource you need.

Another reminder to owners, captains and crew reading this: Please remember that as of last month (3rd June), French laws came into effect which stipulate that wildlife - most notably posidonia/seagrass - must not be damaged due to boating acitivites.

Until next time, carry on enjoying the Med season as best you can.

Hello superyacht industry.

It's June and it feels as though, at long last, the industry is beginning to move again. Countries are coming out of lockdown and superyachts are being welcomed back - just in time for a belated, more condensed Med season. This can only be good news.

A form of Med season is a clear indicator that life is going back to some kind of normality (it's not perfect, but in the context of a global pandemic it's an encouraging development). In truth we're all waiting to see how the next couple of months will unfold, but it has been reassuring to hear that at this stage both Cannes Yachting Festival and Monaco Yacht Show are set to go ahead as planned. The excitement for both shows is so great across the industry, so it gives all of us something to look forward to.

We have continued to share our informative and insightful content across social media over the past month, to provide you with educational escapism during any downtime you've had. We published new marketing tips articles aimed at businesses looking to navigate their way through coronavirus, while we''ve also produced a guide to looking after your mental wellbeing as we move out of lockdown that everyone will benefit from. It's important we continue to look after ourselves, and this guide lists the best ways we can all do exactly that.

As always, Yachting Pages will be here should you need us - whether that's for our industry-leading business search engine, our content or just for a chat on social media. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or queries.

A note for owners, captains or crew reading this: Please remember, that as of 3rd June French laws came into effect which stipulate that wildlife - most notably posidonia/seagrass - must not be damaged due to boating activities.

Until next time, enjoy the Med season and stay safe.
