  • Cape Town’s Marine Industry Takes Charge of 2025 Boat Show

    “This is a boat show by the industry, for the industry,” organisers shared. “It will operate on a cost-only, breakeven basis, but still meet international standards.” - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Team < Back Share Cape Town’s Marine Industry Takes Charge of 2025 Boat Show Aziza | BASCO Team Jul 24, 2025 “This is a boat show by the industry, for the industry,” organisers shared. “It will operate on a cost-only, breakeven basis, but still meet international standards.” Cape Town’s marine sector is taking charge in 2025, bringing back its iconic boat show with a fresh, industry-driven approach. For the first time, the Cape Town Boat Show will be led and managed by local marine organisations, “SABBEX”(South African Boat Builders Export Council) and “BlueCape” in partnership with the V&A Waterfront. Unlike previous years, where the event was managed by external organisers, this year’s show will be guided directly by key industry bodies. “This is a boat show by the industry, for the industry,” organisers shared. “It will operate on a cost-only, breakeven basis, but still meet international standards.” Following global examples where boat shows are often owned and directed by industry associations, SABBEX and BlueCape will set the strategic direction, while a dedicated operations team will handle logistics, execution, and on-the-ground experience. The idea is to combine deep industry knowledge with event expertise to create a sustainable, long-term solution for South Africa’s leading boat show. This year’s show will run from October 24–26, and hopes are high for a strong comeback after a dip in attendance over the past few years. In 2023, just over 4,000 visitors and 61 exhibitors attended, down from nearly 8,500 attendees and 93 exhibitors in 2018. But with a new leadership model and fresh energy, there’s optimism that 2025 will set a new standard. Adding to the buzz is the African Boating Conference, taking place at the V&A Waterfront from October 21–22, just ahead of the boat show. The conference aims to highlight Africa’s growing marine industry, including bold plans to position Cape Town as a superyacht service and repair hub. SABBEX and BlueCape are also working closely with industry partners to attract quality exhibitors and increase footfall, while reinforcing the boat show’s long-term value to the sector. “With collective support, this boat show will become the flagship event for South Africa’s marine sector — uniting, strengthening, and setting the course for a thriving future,” said the organisers. The Cape Town Boat Show has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 1995 at the Royal Cape Yacht Club. It later moved to Green Point Stadium and the Cape Town International Convention Centre, drawing large crowds. Now, it’s returning with a renewed focus, guided by those who know the industry best.

  • Spanish Yacht Catches Fire Only Weeks After Purchase

    The 43.7 metres Aria SF owned by an Italian businessman was anchored at Cala Saona on the west coast of Formentera in Spain when it caught fire. - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza Ahmed < Back Share Spanish Yacht Catches Fire Only Weeks After Purchase Aziza Ahmed Aug 16, 2022 The 43.7 metres Aria SF owned by an Italian businessman was anchored at Cala Saona on the west coast of Formentera in Spain when it caught fire. The Yacht was anchored at Cala Saona on the west coast of Formentera when the incident occurred on August 11 in the Balearics. The 43.7 metres Aria SF owned by an Italian businessman was anchored at Cala Saona on the west coast of Formentera in Spain when it caught fire. The yacht was made by the Italian firm ISA and was set to make its debut at the Monaco yacht show in September and the Adler-Hp Pelzer Group Chairman Scudieri received a yacht just weeks after the incident. The Guardian reported citing the Spanish sea search and rescue agency Salvamento Maritimo. In the photo, plumes of smoke were seen coming from the superyacht. The cause of the fire in the superyacht has not yet been determined. After noticing the fire in the yacht, Salvamento Maritimo dispatched a civil guard ship and a Guardamar Concepcion Arenal to help with evacuation efforts. The superyacht had seven crew members and nine passengers on board when the fire occurred. Initially, crew members stayed onboard to contain the fire while passengers were evacuated to other boats. However, everyone was safely evacuated with no injuries. Media Gallery ← Previous Next →

  • Can flowers bring bad luck?

    “A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and a boat lover cannot live without a boat.” Do you agree? - Basco Boating News - Written by BASCO Team < Back Share Can flowers bring bad luck? BASCO Team Jan 26, 2023 “A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and a boat lover cannot live without a boat.” Do you agree? “A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and a boat lover cannot live without a boat.” Do you agree? Flowers are beautiful and we all love them… Flowers represent so much… …from longing to affection …devotion …remembrance …good luck …wealth …and grief. But! Do you know these beautiful creatures on earth gifted by nature are banned on boats? It's shocking. But it's true! We're talking about one of the strangest and oldest boating myths. "Flowers are bad luck" … Don’t Bring flowers on a boat! Flowers are supposed to be unlucky on a BOAT. It is believed by sailors that flowers are associated with funerals. Flowers are meant for graves, not for hearty sailors! Considered grave omens of bad luck, they could later be used for a funeral wreath, implying that someone would die on the voyage, and therefore forbidden from boats. Even in this modern era, many sailors still take these nautical myths with more than just a grain of sea salt. So how do you take this myth? --- If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll get the same result. That’s why each moment you hesitate is another moment you’ll struggle with your boat-buying journey. Each day that you’re not using this proven BASCO With You Boat Buying System™ is a missed opportunity.
