Turkey: new Port of Entry

Greece: Rhodes on it´s way to finish the Marina

After years of plannings, theories, hope and desatrous situations in the old Mandraki Port opf Rhodes, the Marina seems to be in sight. Visitors report an intense activity in construction, and positive thinking people spak about an opeing in July... but they do not comment jokes about the year: 2010 or 2011 or.... but big concrete blocks were delivered and many workers around make an ambitioned impression.

The nearby small port south of the location (Germans called it Lidl port caused by the german supermarket discounter Lidl nearby, which was absolutely fulkl with garbage and unbelievable dirty was a little "cleaned", but still is no alternative. Stilkl many homelss and refugees seem to "live" there in the middle of the garbage - a pity for them and a shame for the island of Rhodes!

Mallorca: No charges for using obligatory buoys

To protect the seagrass, the government of the balearic islands Mallorca, Menorca, Inbiza and Formentera has setup 9 fields with buoys, where it is obligatory to use the buoys, and prohibited to use the own anchos.

This is to protect the underater nature. The discussion about any charges was ended recently. The use of the buoys, which have an indication, for which boatsize they are made and up to which windspeed they can be used, is free as in the past.

But reservations must be done either online via the 4-language website of Baleraslifeposidonia or by phone 902 422 425

Croatia gossip - will yachts be fined with a luxury tax up to 70% + VAT?

latest horrors-stories from Croatia alarm owners, manufacturing local and international yacht-companies and charter -companies! The plan is to ask a luxury tax of up o 70% for all boats. This would ruin croatian boat fabrics and have a massive negative impact on all european boat manufacturers as well as on chartercompanies, who would not be ble to renew their charterfleets.

However: every year new gossip comes up in and from Croatia, and create a lot of rumours and excitement.... we will see, how that goes ahead...

10.10.2008 Croatian charterboats can still be chartered with non croatian Sailing licence

Rumours and gossips in the yachtcharter branch and in several yachtforums caused irritations in the last months about the idea, that sailing with a croatian charteryacht should be able only with a croatian sailing and VHF licence, and non croatian papers and licences would not be ccepted anymore.
Information from Croatia today says, this is a gossip only and of course all licences, issued from official local sailing institutions will be accepted as before for yachtcharters in croatian waters.

9.10.2008 Yachtcharter 2009: yachtcharter branch may suffer from worldwide financial crisis

The financial crisis and the crash situation on stock exchange markets may have very negative influence on yachtcharters and it´s usualy schesules. Normally, 60% of all yachts are chartered as "early booking" between October and January of the expected new season. This year, caused by the enourmous financial insecurisations, yachtsailors and their crews may be insecure about the further financial development, a reseccios scenario, which endangers their jobs an does not let them be sure to have still a job next summer! This will surely have effects on the yachtcharter market. We expect a strong waiting scenario and that yachtcharterers will charter their boat pretty short before their boattrip shall take place. The destinations, whoich can be reached by car from the european continent will surely win in this situation: Yachtcharters in Croatia, south of France, sailing the coast of italian Tuscany, charter from islands like Elba, Sardegna and Sicily and Naples may win, because people can go their cheaper as a group in a car sharing costs, and they are not so depended on booked flights. These are usually expensive in peak holiday season times and yachtcharterers will face the problem to pay higher flight prices, when they charter pretty late a boat. That however will surely lead to a compensation of costs on chartercompany´s side, because the costs of the sailing trip alltogether shall not become higher, only the piece of cake, each fractional service like flight, food, boat, ect. will change and that will surely beat some boat owners hard! Already the fact, that they surely will not be able to have th financial liquidity very early will cause problems in companies without enough financial power in their background.

30.9.2008 Sales crisis at pleasure boat productiones BAVARIA - only the top of an iceberg?

Several german newspapers report, that german yacht-wharf BAVARIA is about to stop their production. According to the crisis on the international financial markets, it seems, as if the management is aware of less sales in the next months. BAVARIA however points to the reduction of employee´s overtime-balances. Other german wharfs like DEHLER and HANSE might suffer from the financial crisis as well, and gossips in Forums tell, that there reduction of production capacities is on schedule as well.
