“The conversations can happen once you’re in the room and that can be at Nobu’s or in the gondola going up to the ski slopes or wherever. If someone wants to talk yachting, we’re very happy to talk yachting but if they want to talk real estate or wine or art, we’re also very happy to have that conversation.” Burgess CMO Tim Davis on the moment he knew a permanent base for the business in Aspen Snowmass-Aspen Skiing Company was a good idea and why integrating organically into the swanky Colorado ski resort is key for prospecting.

"There could be increases, there could be insurers pulling out, there could be insurers cherry picking what they want to write. And there will be insurers adding in extra clauses in their wordings about manning, crew, batteries, in respect of everything that’s been happening,” says Michelle Van der Merwe, superyacht account manager at Pantaenius GmbH. Why it's important to talk about the whole picture, not just the prospect of higher premiums in light of a rash of major incidents. #insurance #superyacht #yachting #marineinsurance #yachtmanagement

The The Italian Sea Group S.p.A has reiterated the "unsinkability" of the Bayesian and is to take legal action against the The New York Times for an article it published on the sinking of the yacht in August 2024. The company says the October 31st newspaper article reported a narrative about the tragedy which was “completely devoid of technical consistency without mentioning the source which, if truly qualified, would have had no problem being quoted”. TISG says it acquired Perini Navi, the builder of the 56m sailing Bayesian, from a bankruptcy auction in 2021 and “therefore cannot in any way be held responsible for any event possibly referable to the sinking”. Seven people lost their lives when the Bayesian sank in a storm off the coast of northern Sicily in the early hours of August 19th. #superyacht #bayesian #yachting #yachtbuilding #boatbuilding
