    Part of the overall vision, BASCO Luxury comes to life - Basco Boating News - Written by Dione Schick < Back Share BASCO Launches Luxury Boating Division Dione Schick Sep 1, 2022 Part of the overall vision, BASCO Luxury comes to life From Phuket Thailand, BASCO announces the launch of their BASCO Luxury division, consisting of luxury boats and complementary services. BASCO Luxury is the third and final boating segment to be added to the BASCO line up of services. Since launching in 2017, BASCO started with their first niche of First-Time Boat Buyers. Spending two years building out education events, training and programs designed to help First-Time Boat Buyers understand the full risks and costs of owning and maintaining a boat (and most importantly, even if they should!) BASCO Boating then established a number of exclusive buy-sell services for "Boat Bosses"- experienced boat owners who wish to buy, maintain or sell their vessels. The latest announcement of the BASCO Luxury division is their "Boat Guru" division and provides a range of innovative solutions for boat owners with boats over 60' feet. Luxury Online Boat Auctions will be launched in Phuket, Thailand, an established service to sell boats online and faster than traditional methods. It is also suitable for boats that have proven difficult to sell and the owner is now ready to make their move. BASCO Boating brought Online Boat Auctions to Asia in 2017 through a licence with an Australian firm, and in 2019 developed a Asia-specific online auction program and marketing package that was tailored for luxury boats and larger boats that are more the norm in Asia. BASCO Luxury will also incorporate complementary services for the luxury conscious with an initial focus on the luxury on the water and Luxury Online Boat Auctions. A new Luxury Platform will be added to the BASCO platforms in early 2023. Here's more details of the Luxury vision For more information contact us at support@bascoboating.com Media Gallery ← Previous Next →

  • Do you know the nautical terms "ready about?"

    “We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.” It’s true… All you need is the skill to adjust the sail. - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza Ahmed < Back Share Do you know the nautical terms "ready about?" Aziza Ahmed Mar 5, 2022 “We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.” It’s true… All you need is the skill to adjust the sail. It’s time to “Ready about” Do you know what it means? “Ready about” is a nautical term that sailors used to give a command to their crew to change the course of a ship by tacking. "Ready about” is the order to prepare for tacking. And when you hear the term “tacking,” do you wonder what it means? Tacking is when you change tack (direction), going from side to side – it’s a sailing term. Tacking is the process of turning your boat around so that it heads in the opposite direction. This can be done for a number of reasons such as avoiding obstacles changing course or reaching a destination. Did you know tacking is an old technique? In the 1st century CE, the Greeks began using sails that allowed for tacking and jibing. The technological advancements are believed to have been introduced by Persian or Arabic sailors. So, tacking is not a new skill, it’s something that has been done by sailors for centuries. “We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.” It’s true… All you need is the skill to adjust the sail. When you're sailing a boat, there are a few things you need to remember in order to tack it successfully. First, make sure you're at the right angle to the wind - if you're sailing too close to the wind, you won't be able to make any progress. Second, make sure you're heading in the right direction - if you're going the wrong way, you'll only end up spinning in circles. Finally, use your body weight to help swing the boat around - lean into the wind and push the tiller in the opposite direction. This will help get the boat moving in the opposite direction. As an aspiring sailor, Don't stress over tacking. Once you get the hang of it, you'll realize that it's not that big of a deal, and you won't let worrying about it keep you from going upwind. Just like everything else in sailing, once you're familiar with it, it's fun to do! Media Gallery ← Previous Next →

  • What type of boat is used for fishing?

    Bass boats also have plenty of storage space for all of the supplies: fishing rods, bait, drinks, snacks… even the music you'll need to keep your energy up while casting off into the sunset! - Basco Boating News - Written by BASCO Team < Back Share What type of boat is used for fishing? BASCO Team Nov 3, 2022 Bass boats also have plenty of storage space for all of the supplies: fishing rods, bait, drinks, snacks… even the music you'll need to keep your energy up while casting off into the sunset! You probably think of boats as being for far-away adventures and long-distance travels, but did you know that there's one boat specifically for fishing? It's called a Bass Boat. Bass boats are a type of fishing vessel that is designed to catch bass, or fish. In general, these boats can vary in size from about 16 feet to 25 feet, with the cheapest bass boats in the smaller size range. Bass boats are usually powered by an outboard motor, and they usually have seats for more than one person. Bass boats were first created in the 1800s and have since been modified to be more effective at catching bass, but they have remained relatively unchanged in their basic design. The first bass boat was built out of wood and did not have any motors attached to it. The fisherman would row the boat along until he found a spot where he could drop his line into the water and wait for a bite. In addition to its basic design, a bass boat has several other features that make it an ideal choice for fishing. First, it has an open bow area where you can sit and wait for your prey; second, it has an enclosed cabin area where you can store your gear; third, it has a small motor so that you can power through shallow waters; fourth, it has two rods so that you can catch multiple fish at once; fifth, it has two anchors so that you can keep the boat stationary; sixth, it has a live well so that you can keep your catch alive until you're ready to take them home with you; seventh (and last), it has a bucket holder so that you don't accidentally drop your keys overboard while trying to reel in one big one! Bass boats also have plenty of storage space for all of the supplies: fishing rods, bait, drinks, snacks… even the music you'll need to keep your energy up while casting off into the sunset! And the amazing thing about Bass boats is - they don't have to be used just for fishing—they're great for all kinds of outdoor adventures! Bass boats tend to be narrow and long, with a pointed nose that allows them to cut through waves easily. They also have high sides so that water does not get into the boat as easily when it is being moved around on land or in water. The hulls of bass boats are usually of fibreglass or aluminium; fibreglass is lighter than aluminium but less durable. But bass boats aren't great for long trips because they don't have a lot of fuel capacity. This means that you'll need to stop frequently to refuel during your trip, which can interrupt the flow of your trip. And, the ride is pretty rough and bumpy due to the boat's size and shape. It's not ideal for anyone who gets seasick easily, or those who don't like being bounced around by waves. So, if you like being on the water and love to fish then a bass boat is right for you. -- If you're like us, you know that the idea of owning a boat is pretty much the best thing ever. But maybe you don't know what it means to own a boat in general, and you're worried it'll be too hard or too expensive. Well, it's not!

  • Naples to Host Historic 2027 America’s Cup

    The events will take place in the waters between Castel dell’Ovo and Posillipo, with Bagnoli serving as the central base for the teams. With the towering Mt Vesuvius in the background, Naples promises a dramatic and unforgettable race setting. - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Team < Back Share Naples to Host Historic 2027 America’s Cup Aziza | BASCO Team May 22, 2025 The events will take place in the waters between Castel dell’Ovo and Posillipo, with Bagnoli serving as the central base for the teams. With the towering Mt Vesuvius in the background, Naples promises a dramatic and unforgettable race setting. Naples has officially been selected as the host city for the 38th America’s Cup in 2027. This marks the first time Italy hosts this prestigious global sailing competition The decision was revealed by the Italian Government in partnership with Team New Zealand and the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, confirming that the iconic Louis Vuitton America’s Cup and its preliminary events will unfold along the stunning coastline of Naples. The events will take place in the waters between Castel dell’Ovo and Posillipo, with Bagnoli serving as the central base for the teams. With the towering Mt Vesuvius in the background, Naples promises a dramatic and unforgettable race setting. Italian Minister for Sport and Youth, Andrea Abodi, called the announcement a “tremendous opportunity” to promote Italy's natural beauty, sportsmanship, and economic development. He emphasized that hosting the Cup will not only elevate Italy’s global sporting presence but also help foster ocean-related education, sustainability, and economic growth. The event is also seen as a catalyst for revitalization, especially in Bagnoli, an area that has long awaited urban renewal. Minister of Economy and Finance, Giancarlo Giorgetti, confirmed that the Cup will boost Naples' development and showcase its readiness for large-scale international events. Naples Mayor Gaetano Manfredi added that the Cup represents one of the city's biggest sporting achievements to date and will provide a major economic and tourism boost, just as it did in cities like Barcelona and Valencia. He praised the collaborative efforts of local and national authorities in securing this win. Grant Dalton, CEO of Team New Zealand, expressed excitement over the choice of Naples, noting Italy’s deep passion for the sport and the fierce competition posed by teams like Luna Rossa. He said bringing the Cup to Naples aligns with efforts to make the sport more accessible and visible globally. David Blakey, Commodore of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, celebrated the return of the Cup to Europe, recognizing Italy’s long-standing involvement and vibrant sailing community. He highlighted the upcoming Youth and Women’s Regattas, also to be held in Naples. The 2027 edition will build on Naples’ previous experience hosting the America’s Cup World Series in 2012 and 2013, which attracted over a million spectators. This time, the city is ready to deliver an even larger, more impactful event. With the combination of heritage, natural beauty, and a bold vision for the future, Naples is poised to set a new standard for hosting the America’s Cup, and to inspire a new generation of sailors and spectators alike.

  • 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.

  • Preparing Your Boat for Sale, Now it's Our Turn

    Practicing what we preach in preparing for a fast and effortless boat sale - Basco Boating News - Written by Dione Schick < Back Share Preparing Your Boat for Sale, Now it's Our Turn Dione Schick Feb 24, 2022 Practicing what we preach in preparing for a fast and effortless boat sale Ages and stages come and go in life, and also in boating life, which is no different. We bought our first boat (yes, unbelievably we were first-time boat buyers at around, plus or minus, 50-years of age) almost 10 years ago now, isn't it incredible how time flies. If you want to read about Why I Bought a Boat Even Though I Couldn't Afford It , click the link to see how boat ownership has brought such joy and meaning to our lives! Now, 10-years on and pushing 60 years of age (well one of us anyway lol), we have new goals and family milestones to attend to! While neither of us really want to disrupt the incredible boating lifestyle, boating events, marina memories, boat owner friends and on-water activities that we have been privileged to enjoy over the last 10-years, the time has gone by so very quickly, we must prepare for the next stage of our lives, and reluctantly this includes putting our beautiful boat Sea Kiwi on the market for sale. Yes, we will be buying a replacement boat, but it will be much smaller! Sea Kiwi for sale is a 1999 Navigator Pilothouse 61' Flybridge Motor Yacht and we'll be running a series of videos featuring "Boat Guru" William Schick about what it will take to get our boat ready for sale and on the market and how we will go through the process of a sale. So stay tuned if you're interested to find out about selling your boat. Sea Kiwi has been an incredibly lovely boat to own and liveaboard over the last 5 years or so since we sold our house and officially became "boat people". Living aboard has been fabulous for us at our age and stage. When we first viewed Sea Kiwi, there were so many remarkable things about the boat that it was scary how quickly it was obvious that it was the exact right boat for us. From the swim platform, to the two entry doors into the cockpit, to the fact that we could accommodate not only an 8 seater dining table there, and many other features of this boat made it perfect for us. Our 3 children had all left Singapore for work and study in Australia and New Zealand so it was an ideal time for us to embrace the lifestyle that suited our recent "empty nest" situation. Not to mention my unexpected and therefore quite distressing redundancy from corporate Singapore 5-years ago, boat life has been soothing for the soul and a great place to manage the crazy busy-ness of building a brand new company. So, what does it take to prepare your boat for sale? Follow us over the next weeks and months while we scrub, polish and maintain Sea Kiwi so she is in the best light to be passed to her new owners. We're excited to share the journey with you, it's not only about selling our first boat, but taking the next step in our boating journey. Look forward to sharing it with you.

  • Have you ever heard the term Bareboat charter?

    Let's take a look at another nautical term today and see how it developed and why it is important today. - Basco Boating News - Written by BASCO Team < Back Share Have you ever heard the term Bareboat charter? BASCO Team Feb 16, 2023 Let's take a look at another nautical term today and see how it developed and why it is important today. We've always been interested in nautical terms. I think it's the precision, accuracy, and clarity of detail in which sailors speak that makes us want to learn more about them. I think it's safe to say that we are all familiar with some Nautical terms, even if it's just "ahoy" or "adrift". So, let's take a look at another nautical term today and see how it developed and why it is important today. Bareboat Charter. The term “bareboat” is used to refer to a boat rental agreement, by which one may rent a boat without a crew. A bareboat is a type of agreement in which a renter purchases the right to use a boat without additional services. Bareboating is often done to save money or to get the bareboat charter operator time on the water while they look for steady paying work. From the early days of sailing, the rise of the bareboat charter has been traced back to wealthy merchants looking for a way to make money. In those days, ships were often owned by wealthy merchants who hired captains with crews and cargo to sail on voyages that could last for months or even years at a time. At the end of the voyage, there was no guarantee that any profits would be returned to them; in fact, they were often left out of the loop entirely. To avoid this situation, merchants began hiring crews themselves and purchasing ships outright, which they would then rent out to captains who needed them for voyages. This allowed merchants to maintain control over their ships' use and profit from them directly. This gave birth to what we know today as bareboat chartering—a practice where an owner rents out his or her ship for a specified period of time at an agreed-upon price. A bareboat charter is a perfect way to get out on the water without having to worry about the ownership details. You can rent a boat from a marina, or you can rent from a private owner. Either way, you'll need to make sure that your boat is insured for whatever length of time you're planning on using it. Bareboat chartering is a great way to explore the world, and it's also a fantastic way to make money. It's a win-win situation! -- Do you know a boat that's been rented out many times can look worn out, and it may not have any of your own personal touches on it? It's true! If you're renting a boat, there's a good chance it hasn't been updated in years. That means the decor is outdated and the appliances are old and inefficient. But the most important factor is YOU.
