𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗼 𝗬𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽 From the 24th to the 26th of September, our team was present at the prestigious Monaco Yacht Show S.A.M. , the world’s leading event for the superyacht industry. Over three days, we engaged in highly productive meetings with industry specialists, yacht captains, shipyards, Management companies and partners. The conversations confirmed the positive momentum in the sector and the growing interest in exploring new cruising grounds. The market outlook is strong: the superyacht industry is expected to reach USD 21.6 billion in 2025. This year alone, 50 new superyachts over 50 meters were launched, with a clear trend toward larger vessels, as owners increasingly seek privacy, space, and independence. Against this backdrop, we see a unique opportunity for Portugal and the Mid-Atlantic archipelago of Madeira to position themselves as a world-class cruising destination. With: -Excellence in hospitality and guest experiences, -Technical capabilities for calls and servicing, and -A distinctive triangle of Atlantic cruising grounds offering nature, privacy, and outstanding gastronomy. As the Mediterranean becomes ever more crowded in summer, the Portuguese Atlantic Triangle—linking mainland Portugal, Madeira, and the Azores—stands out as an exceptional alternative for owners and guests seeking exclusivity and authenticity. We return from Monaco with confidence in the potential ahead and with renewed energy to continue developing Portugal and Madeira as a premium yachting hub.   #superyachts #shippingagent #Blandytravelandshipping #luxurytravel #superyachtagent Cátia Carvalho Esteves Paula Ferreira
