PRODUCTS & SERVICES Platform for superyacht berths Finding a suitable berth for a superyacht is all set to be an easier process thanks to the launch of a global online marina platform called LuxBerths. Launched at the Thailand Yacht Show in Phuket last December, LuxBerths has a database of over 500 marinas collectively offering over 18,000 superyacht berths. Yacht operators can search, select and book easily and conveniently. “The LuxBerths platform provides a unique gateway for captains and owners to simply compare marinas plus book berths seamlessly online whilst saving money on more traditional booking options,” explains LuxBerths CEO James Wickens. As well as providing fast, convenient booking options, LuxBerths will offer captains up to date information on individual marinas as well as in depth destination features that will provide insights to key yachting locations. One of the first groups to sign up to the platform is the Aseanarean Bluewater Alliance (ABA), the prestigious group of 13 marinas in Asia that includes Raffles Marina, Ocean Marina Yacht Club and Phuket Boat Lagoon. Raffles Marina CEO Ray Parry, comments: “The industry is developing fast and it’s important that yachting embraces new technology and all the advantages that it provides. This platform not only allows our alliance to promote our individual marinas but also our destination, so it’s a great boost for the superyacht community in Asia and beyond.” Contact LuxBerths at contact@luxberths.com Fort Lauderdale office for BMI Bellingham Marine has opened a new office in Ft Lauderdale, Florida, adjacent to the world famous Bahia Mar Yachting Center.
