Do you sell to people on superyachts?
Most publications don’t make it past the ‘no boarding’ sign. ESTELA, however, connects with yacht captains, managers, crew and owners every day.
We support yachts during their charters, boss trips and yard periods. Our services range from port formalities, bunkering and cash-to-master, to VIP concierge services, provisioning, and itinerary planning.
‘The Y Yachting Itineraries’ is in its 8th edition, and is made by us, for EVERYONE on board.
Advertising opportunities for 2025/26 are now open. To request the Media Kit, write ‘Media Kit’ in the comments.
Our latest newsletter is out!
