🎷 NO SAX PLEASE, WE’RE ESTELA 🎷

We’re back from a terrific Cannes Yachting Festival! But seriously, we need to have a word about the plague of solo saxophonists afflicting every boat show for yet another season.

Look, we get it. Someone told you a saxophone is sexy and sophisticated. But let’s be honest, a solo sax to a naff backing track doesn’t give yacht party vibes; its giving ‘shopping centre opening circa 1987’. Let’s face it, Kenny G hasn’t had a hit since the 90s for a reason.

Last week, we snapped three solo saxes to add to the growing list we’ve spotted at recent shows. We’ve even had saxophones on flyboards, neon-lit and spewing fireworks, but enough already! 

How about we give the guitarists, pianists, or literally ANY other musician a go? Just a thought...

BUT FEAR NOT! Therell be absolutely zero saxophone nonsense at ESTELAs End of Season Party on Friday 3rd October!

Join us at MARCOPOLOOZA, our fancy dress extravaganza in Port Adriano featuring:

 🎸 Old Noise rocking the classics
 🎺 Monkey Doo swinging you silly
 🇯🇲 Reggae Lex bringing island vibes
 🎧 DJ Leo Mas on the decks till late

Join us at Port Adriano for a sax-free extravaganza. Costumes encouraged. Dancing inevitable.

US B1/B2 visa revocations impacting yacht crew

There have been recent reports of multiple yacht crew members holding valid US B1/B2 visas experiencing unexpected revocations and even removal orders.

Examples include British nationals having valid 10-year visas revoked without warning, as authorities conduct retrospective social media reviews. 

Media reported that CBP agents are reviewing 55 million visa holders, scrutinising posts for work-seeking behaviour and other eligibility factors. 

Our A-Z of B1/B2 visas has been updated with recommended precautionary steps for travelling to the US and advice for crew whose visas have been revoked.

Balearic government deploys underwater ROV for coastal surveillance

The Balearic government has introduced a new underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to strengthen its coastal monitoring capabilities across the islands’ waters.

The CHASING M2 PRO is capable of carrying out inspections of port infrastructure and monitoring anchorage areas and posidonia meadows at depths of up to 300 metres.

The new kit forms part of a comprehensive coastal surveillance system operated by PortsIB, which currently comprises 22 vessels, qualified inspectors with enforcement powers, a centralised control centre, and aerial drone operations conducting ten-hour daily patrols.

The unit conducts daily inspections across all Balearic islands, with particular focus on anchorage monitoring and charter vessel activity. Since June, 82 compliance notices have been issued, primarily concerning expired documentation, incorrect declarations and charter contract violations.

We followed the Silk Road and Marco Polo`s travels to the Orient, discovering "China`s Hawaii", the stunning province of Hainan, the hottest yacht destination in the region.
