    234: No way out: a superyacht trapped in the middle of London
    Nov 12 2024
    Stewart Campbell sits down with Captain Guy Booth to discuss Phi, the 58-metre Royal Huisman motor yacht that has been trapped in London since March 2022, when she was placed under a temporary detention order by the British government. This fully custom yacht now faces several looming deadlines. She is at risk of falling out of class and having her insurance revoked, and now presents an increasing danger to her crew and nearby residents. The yacht needs to be lifted out of the water urgently, but hopes of a solution are fading fast.

    This week Cecile and Katia look back on a very busy Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show during the last days of a long and hot US presidential campaign, from creative marketing by yacht King Benji to the press conferences there, including the introduction by Sunseeker of the company’s two new owners, the launch of a new Riva Residenze on Fort Lauderdale Beach and an unusual and much noticed boat show visitor, a Maine Coone cat named Romeo. Katia tells us why is looking forward to the upcoming Yacht Explorer Summit kicking off November 13 at the Monaco yacht club and highlights two speakers, TV personality Monty Hall and REV CEO Nina Jensen.
