There are countless superstitions on the sea. Some seem strange today, but some sailors still cling to them. It's no wonder— the sea is an adventurous place, and many things happen there that can't happen anywhere else. Let’s look at this old classical myth today. - Basco Boating News - Written by BASCO Team < Back Share What happens if you empty a teapot on a boat? BASCO Team Jul 20, 2023 There are countless superstitions on the sea. Some seem strange today, but some sailors still cling to them. It's no wonder— the sea is an adventurous place, and many things happen there that can't happen anywhere else. Let’s look at this old classical myth today. There are countless superstitions on the sea. Some seem strange today, but some sailors still cling to them. It's no wonder— the sea is an adventurous place, and many things happen there that can't happen anywhere else. Let’s look at this old classical myth today. This myth is about the drink. Over 2 billion cups of this drink are consumed every day worldwide… Can you guess what this drink is about? Here's another hint to help you out The first letter of this drink is “T”. . . . . . Tea? Well done! You got it - This superstition is all about the tea. So, let’s discover this old myth. "Never empty the teapot on a boat" In ancient times, when it came to emptying the pot, English fishermen had some very strange beliefs. They would never fully empty a pot of tea when they were out at sea because this represented them ‘pouring away’ all the fish they were hoping to catch. This meant that pouring away their tea would result in having to return home empty-handed. Also, their families back home wouldn’t empty their teapots on the day the fisherman set sail for fear of causing the boat to sink. P.S. If you don't know what's happening in the boating world, you'll be at the mercy of wheeler-dealers who want to take advantage of you. You need to understand the boat market and boat ownership like a boat boss. Understanding the boat market can help you avoid overpaying for a boat or making a purchase that doesn't meet your needs. It can also help you properly maintain and care for your boat, ensuring that it provides years of enjoyment on the water.

The brand’s first model, the Wayfinder 38, will be presented in two configurations; the Cabin and the Suntop. Both will be displayed on the water, giving visitors a chance to explore and compare their layouts and features. - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Team < Back Share A New Name Turns Heads at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 Aziza | BASCO Team Aug 13, 2025 The brand’s first model, the Wayfinder 38, will be presented in two configurations; the Cabin and the Suntop. Both will be displayed on the water, giving visitors a chance to explore and compare their layouts and features. Turkish yacht brand AIATA will make its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025. The company operates under the Anadolu Group, a major Turkish conglomerate with a broad business portfolio. This background provides AIATA with a strong platform as it enters the global marine industry. The brand’s first model, the Wayfinder 38, will be presented in two configurations; the Cabin and the Suntop. Both will be displayed on the water, giving visitors a chance to explore and compare their layouts and features. The Wayfinder 38 has been designed by Finnish naval architect Jarkko Jämsén. It is a walkaround model featuring a beamy flared bow and twin-step hull, aimed at increasing deck space and improving performance. Twin outboard engine options will be available, with power configurations up to 850 horsepower and expected top speeds above 50 knots. The Cabin version will feature an enclosed pilothouse, L-shaped sofa, compact galley, and a private sleeping area with a queen-size bed. A separate head with a ceiling height of about two meters will support overnight stays. The Suntop version will offer an open layout with a fixed hardtop and an uninterrupted flow between interior and exterior spaces. One of the key aspects of the Wayfinder 38 is its modular design. Owners will be able to reconfigure seating, tables, and sunbeds, and even switch between open and enclosed deck structures. AIATA expects its modular concept to be a focal point of attention during the festival. The Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 will be the first opportunity for the public and industry professionals to experience the Wayfinder 38 in person, marking the start of AIATA’s presence in the European market.

Bigger is not always better. Especially when it comes to new boat owners, and buying a boat that’s more than your experience can handle is a common mistake made by first time boat owners. It's important to remember that buying a boat is a significant investment that requires careful consideration and preparation. To avoid costly mistakes and ensure that you make the right decision, it's essential to understand the various factors involved in owning a boat. As a first-time boat buyer, you must understand the various types of boats available and their uses to help you make an informed decision. Factors like licensing and registration requirements, safety tips and equipment, maintenance, storage, and operating a boat are also essential to ensure that you stay safe and maintain your boat correctly. In this email, we will dive deeper into each of these key factors that you should consider when buying a boat. Whether you're buying a boat for fishing, watersports, or leisure activities, this email will help you make the right decision and set you up for a successful and enjoyable boating experience. I. Boat Types and Their Uses: When it comes to boats, there are many different types to choose from, each designed for a specific purpose. Some common types of boats include pontoon boats, fishing boats, speed boats, sailboats, and cruisers. It's essential to understand the differences between these types of boats to select the right one that suits your needs and preferences. Factors to consider include the size of the boat, the number of passengers it can accommodate, and its intended use. II. Licensing and Registration Requirements: To own and operate a boat, you must comply with various federal and state regulations, including licensing and registration requirements. These requirements vary depending on your location and the size of your boat. It's important to research and understand these regulations to ensure that you have all the necessary documents and comply with the law. III. Safety Tips and Equipment: Boating safety should always be a top priority. Before hitting the water, it's important to have essential safety equipment on board, such as life jackets, fire extinguishers, and flares. You should also be familiar with basic safety procedures, such as checking the weather forecast and avoiding alcohol consumption while boating. IV. Maintenance and Storage: Proper maintenance is essential for the longevity and safety of your boat. Routine tasks like cleaning, oil changes, and winterizing can help prevent costly repairs down the line. You should also consider where to store your boat when it's not in use.

This new category within the Boat Guru® Marketplace & Digital Boat Brokerage is poised to redefine our approach to boat transactions. The Broker's Rolodex™ addresses the nuanced nature of digital boat brokerage, where certain vessels and their owners prefer a discreet route to buying or selling.

It also addresses the instances where boat owners, for various reasons, are not yet ready to list their boats in BASCO BoatSellPro® , where we help busy boat owners sell their boat 33% faser and at half the commissions. By including these owners boats in The Brokers Rolodex, it provides the opportunity for a Stage 1 "OMG That's Amazing!!!" Boat Match-Maker Deal to be struck in those first 1-3 months of the boat being available for sale, even without publically listing the boat for sale.

This initiative is significant for several reasons: It bridges the gap between boat owners seeking discretion and buyers looking for exclusive opportunities. It forms a crucial part of the three-stage journey to a boat sale, where connections are facilitated seamlessly and with precision in Step 2 of the 3-Stages to a Boat Sale process (see above diagram) It represents an important step towards realizing our mission of revolutionizing the boat brokerage experience.

The sporty new model is being built at their UAE production yard. Sunreef Yachts is getting ready to launch its latest power catamaran, “the Ultima 55”at the Cannes Yachting Festival this September. This will be the first time the boat is shown in Europe. Right now, it’s being built at Sunreef’s new shipyard in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE. Ultima 55 combines the speed of a monohull with the stability of a catamaran. Also, she has a modern and sporty design. The Ultima 55 is part of Sunreef’s growing Ultima line and will be shown at Vieux Port along with other models like the 80 Sunreef Power Eco and the 100 Sunreef Power. Sunreef’s CEO, Francis Lapp, recently spoke at their original shipyard in Gdańsk, Poland. He said the company is doing very well around the world, even though the US market has slowed down a bit. “This year has been amazing for us,” he said. “Our UAE shipyard is fully booked until 2027, and we already have 60 orders for the Ultima range.” The Ultima 55 is already in production. And there’s more coming. A new 66-foot model will be launched next year. Both boats have a new hull shape that makes them look sportier and more stylish. Sunreef’s PR Director, Artur Poloczanski, is also excited. “We can’t wait to show the Ultima 55 in Cannes,” he said. “It’s a fresh design that focuses on fun, luxury, and speed.” The Ultima 55 has lots of space for relaxing. It includes a semi-open lounge area, a large back deck, and fold-down platforms on both sides, perfect for sunbathing or spending time on the water. The boat runs on twin Volvo IPS 800 hp engines, and has fixed foils between the hulls to help it move smoothly. Sunreef’s appearance at the Cannes show shows its strong position in the luxury catamaran world. And the Ultima 55 is ready to shine. News credit: Information sourced from IBI News.
