 We are all familiar with the old adage; ‘The best 2 days of a yacht owner’s life are the day you buy and the day you sell the yacht’. For many owners, this is their reality when it should be the opposite. For many, owning a superyacht offers the pinnacle of relaxation. That is why, when it comes to superyacht management, the processes inexplicably should follow-suit.Owning a superyacht can come with its own challenges; from crewing matters to mechanical failures- owners should be confident that their management can deal with such issues quickly and transparently, albeit hopefully not in the midst of your summer cruise.

The journey may involve a ground-based vehicle or helicopter and private aircraft. Noise, operational running costs and safety concerns can restrict the use of these for residences and other places of origin.  A new generation of aircraft, electric Vertical Take-off and Landing craft (eVTOL) is now emerging, heralding a new age in human air mobility, an AirvolutionTM.  VRCO LTD, a Midlands-based aviation company, is developing a hyper-luxury variant, the NeoXcraft. This will initially carry two people (180Kg) at very high speeds in absolute safety and luxury.  The craft has been designed and engineered with multiple redundant safety systems, a suite of sensors to assist pilots and also to detect and avoid objects. It features a whole craft steerable ballistic parachute system in the unlikely event of total power failure or multiple engine failures. It is also designed to land on the water, making it very versatile and unique, an ideal tender for...
