Sea-Alliance Group has secured a contract to complete extensive repair and maintenance work on Vivid, a 27 metre (88ft) sailing yacht from the renowned Dutch shipyard Jongert. It is Sea-Alliance Group’s largest refit project to date. The company is responsible for the yacht’s management and has a long-standing relationship with both the owner and its super yacht Captain, Tim Forderer. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137587/image/large-0a7b7443a2fe83b1e5b93a6a11b5ccd2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137587">Sea-Alliance Group will now be managing the refit project and handling all the legal, financial and technical aspects. Work began in early November and is expected to be completed by April 2012. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137588/image/large-1200796187eb9d9e84bf8df2ff7b1e8f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137588">The refit will be extremely comprehensive, and will include exterior paintwork, a new teak deck, re-varnishing of the interior, a full refit of the rigging, main engine and thrusters, renewing all the Navigation and Communication systems, a complete Lloyds survey, the overhaul and repair of all major systems, and a completely new upholstery and fresh look and feel to the interior. Vivid has recently returned from a five year circumnavigation and, following the refit work, will continue travelling during the summer of 2012, with highlights of the planned itinerary including the North and South Poles. The yacht was built by the Dutch yard in 2001 for a Swiss owner and since then was only sold once, to the current owner six yeas ago. She has an aluminum hull and an aluminum superstructure with a beam of 6.58m (21.59ft). Offering accommodation for up to six guests across three suites, she is a solid cruiser under both sail and motor. Itay Singer, Owner of Sea-Alliance Group, said: “We are thrilled to be working with Jongert on this very famous yacht and consider this as an extremely important project for us.” Tim Forderer, Captain of Vivid said: “Itay and his team have supported our circumnavigation over the past five years. They have provided invaluable support to us as we sailed in some of the world’s most remote destinations. I am vey happy that Sea-Alliance Group has brought us back to Jongert for this major refit.” He continued: “Vivid was in very good condition when we arrived here in Holland, and will leave looking and operating like a brand new yacht. The pride the Jongert team feels with Vivid is very evident – Vivid feels very much at home.”Sea-Alliance Group +350 2006 1666 <a href="http://www.sea-alliance.com/">www.sea-alliance.com</a>

Sea-Alliance Group, the international maritime business, is adding to its portfolio a new quality control service aimed at international shipyards, as a result of growing demand for independent project managers for new build and refit work. The new service will be provided by the company’s experienced technical services team, and will give shipyard directors an independent quality control management service to help them improve their organisation and communication with a yacht owner’s team. There are numerous advantages of the new service: · Shipyards will incur fewer changes as a result of the improved management and a reduction in errors · The build stays on schedule · There is less warranty work to be fulfilled · As an independent company, well-connected within the industry, Sea-Alliance Group is also able to suggest contractors and suppliers, and to advise on the latest technologies and methods of construction, as a result of extensive experience gained from working on many different boat builds in locations around the world. As shipyards around the world increasingly use subcontractors to complete a project, the benefits of an independent project manager/surveyor, overlooking all aspects of the work and managing these, has become more apparent. Pino di Mora, Technical Services Manger at Sea-Alliance Group, said: “Traditionally we have always worked as representatives of the clients but recently we started to get good feedback from the yards where we have managed projects, and yard representatives have begun to realise the benefit of a comprehensive project management service. We help the yards by supervising and controlling the subcontractors, and representatives of many shipyards have been very enthusiastic about the concept of us working directly for them.” Highlighting the benefits of the service, Pino continued: “We can offer them fresh perspective on the new builds and refits and assist them greatly with their quality control, which saves time and money.” Sea-Alliance Group is believed to be one of the only companies offering such a comprehensive project management service for the industry. As a company which can offer an independent perspective and report directly to the Yard’s Director, there is a distinct advantage to using them - a small customer-focussed team - rather than an in-house project manager.Sea-Alliance Group Pino di Mora / Brigitte Tison +33 609 954 420 <a href="mailto:tech@Sea-Alliance.com?subject=Sea-Alliance%20Group%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">tech@Sea-Alliance.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sea-alliance.com/">www.sea-alliance.com</a>

 New management service for shipyards by Sea-Alliance Group

Karpaz Gate Marina (KGM), the eastern Mediterranean’s newest superyacht marina - located on the stunning Karpaz peninsula of Northern Cyprus – is fast becoming the region’s most desirable over-wintering destination. The marina’s brand new facilities, competitive prices and mild winter climate make the marina and resort an attractive destination for those struggling to secure a berth in the over-crowded western Mediterranean. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137430/image/large-fa504c68a172c56fba6c043a0224e916.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137430">The lack of superyacht berths in the western Mediterranean is widely reported, and a shortage results from the superyacht fleet having grown in the last decade (2001 – 2010) by 95.2 per cent, but the number of berths not having increased to meet the demand. Marinas based in the eastern Mediterranean are increasing in popularity for berthing and wintering a yacht as a result. The recent opening of Karpaz Gate Marina has meant that the unspoilt and undiscovered cruising of Northern Cyprus is now available for international yachtsman to explore for the first time. Facilities at Karpaz Gate Marina include 950 metre breakwaters, protecting not just from the north but all directions. An extensive 18,000sqm dry dock facility is available, with the space to accommodate hundreds of yachts, and a 300 tonne travel lift, suitable for yachts 45m x 10m has also recently been installed. The marina also has the resource to repair and provide maintenance for yachts. A 24-hour security, access control and surveillance system operates 365 days a year and a concierge service, that provides a full range of services, are at the yacht owners disposal when a berth is owned or a yacht is wintered at the marina. Roy Klajman, of Sea-Alliance Group, the marina management company, said: “Despite being in the first year of operation, we are receiving a high level of interest in our over-wintering offer. Karpaz Gate Marina has opened up a previously inaccessible cruising ground, providing an opportunity for yacht owners to explore the surrounding area, while wintering their yacht, and also fulfilling the growing demand for berths in this area.” <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137431/image/large-e4532e34b6afe551cf683d74ae7c7a12.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/130453">During the winter season the marina continues to provide entertainment and leisure facilities for visitors, and the contemporary restaurant and bar – Hemingway’s, which provides freshly-prepared Turkish and International dishes - is open all year round. Wintering at Karpaz Gate Marina also gives visitors the opportunity to discover other areas nearby. Turkey is just 40 miles away and it is an average of one and a half hour drive from major ports such as Famagosta, Girne, Limasol and Larnaca International Airport. Roy Klajman, continued: “Karpaz Gate Marina is an undiscovered gem of the Mediterranean. The warm winters make Northern Cyprus a year-round destination and the perfect place to rest your boat during the winter season while you discover the surrounding area.”Karpaz Gate Marina +90 392 229 2800 <a href="mailto:info@karpazbay.com?subject=Karpaz%20Gate%20appoints%20Harbour%20Master%20article%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@karpazbay.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.karpazbay.com/">www.karpazbay.com</a>

The summer was her busiest charter season since her launch in August 2009 and she was very well received by charter guests, having spent most of the season cruising in the western Mediterranean covering quite large distances from Croatia, Sardinia, Tuscany and the South of France. Donizetti, a 28 metre Sunseeker Yacht 90 built in 2007, will spend the winter in the Eastern Mediterranean before heading specifically to Croatia and Montenegro, for the first time, for the summer season. As a superior specification yacht, ideal for families, she has been extremely popular during the summer and has already attracted re-bookings for 2012. She provides a versatile layout with convertible twin cabins which enable the craft to accommodate up to ten guests in four cabins, as well as four crew members. The yacht’s amenable crew has also been extremely popular with charter guests. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137165/image/large-4c432213489d6103667138e459d79eb2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/125279">Sea-Alliance Group’s second charter vessel destined for the eastern Mediterranean next season is Darsea, a Moonen 97. Typical of the kind of craft offered by SAG for charter or sale, MY Darsea features contemporary styling and an interior that blends leather, bamboo, woven suede and original hand-crafted art set against a backdrop of cherry-wood panelling. She is a yacht of immense style and individuality, and was a World Superyacht Award finalist in 2009 – proof that she offers her nine guests the very best in luxury cruising. Jennifer Doyle, Charter Broker for Sea-Alliance Group, said: “Croatia and Montenegro are increasingly popular charter destinations thanks to more remote and secluded charter experience which is on offer there. The islands around the coastline are beautiful and provide very good shelter so it's also good for smaller yachts. We are excited about being able to offer Donizetti and Darsea there next summer for the first time.” All three yachts are available for winter charters; Donizetti - priced 39,000 EUR per week: Darsea – priced 70,000 EUR per week; Ancora – priced 135,000 EUR per week.Sea-Alliance Group Jennifer Doyle +44 (0)7887 676888 <a href="mailto:jennifer@Sea-Alliance.com?subject=Sea-Alliance%20Group%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">jennifer@Sea-Alliance.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sea-alliance.com">www.sea-alliance.com</a>

Sea Alliance highlight growing appeal of Eastern Med

Last week more than two hundred people visited Karpaz Gate Marina (KGM), the new luxury marina in Northern Cyprus, ahead of its official launch later this summer. The marina owners, Karpaz Bay Resort Ltd, and the management company, Sea-Alliance Group, welcomed more than 60 yacht owners who were participating in the Eastern Mediterranean Yacht Rally (EMYR) as well as visitors including marina berth holders, VIPs, local dignitaries and representatives of local businesses. Those who attended were the first official visitors to the marina, which is located on the stunning Karpaz Peninsula, a region renowned for its natural beauty. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135251/image/large-6402a420aca73473dd379a111b51bf49.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135251">The fleet of participants in the EMYR, an annual rally which involves sailing enthusiasts travelling around the highlights of the eastern Mediterranean, enjoyed exclusive access to the marina’s facilities and were provided with designated berthing free of charge, and entertainment including a welcoming party. They saw first hand the quality of the marina, which has been in build since 2009. Roy Klajman, Director of Sea-Alliance Group, the marina management company, said: “It was wonderful that Karpaz Gate Marina was a stop off point for the Eastern Mediterranean Yacht Rally this year. The owners and the management team have been working on this development for several years so to have our first official visitors is a fantastic and extremely pleasing achievement for all involved.” He continued: “With the Eastern Mediterranean Yacht Rally stopping at Karpaz Gate Marina for the first time, we have had a great opportunity to showcase the result of the hard work and investment that has gone into making this the finest marina development in the eastern Mediterranean.” Karpaz Gate Marina will officially open to the public in early June and the official launch ceremony will take place in a few months time.

All will be provided with designated berthing free of charge, and entertainment is being arranged including a welcoming party which will be attended by VIPs and local dignitaries. The build of the marina is in the final stages and when complete, the marina will be the most luxurious in the eastern Mediterranean. At the current time the marina breakwaters and the main marina elements of dry dock, promenade, and marina buildings are being completed. Karpaz Gate Marina recently ran an introductory free berth offer which has generated an unprecedented level of interest from sailing and motor-yacht owners from around the world. As a result, approximately 100 berths have now been allocated. All the winners have been informed and they will enjoy complimentary berthing privileges until 31st March 2012. Two hundred further berths are available at Karpaz Gate Marina with both short-term and long-term availability. Roy Klajman, Director of Sea-Alliance Group, the marina management company said: “The investment by Karpaz Bay Resort Ltd and the relentless efforts of all who have worked on the project, and their combined years of expertise and a sensible degree of flexibility, means that Karpaz Gate Marina will open on time and is expected to become one of the most popular marina destinations in the eastern Mediterranean. We are looking forward to welcoming our first guests to the marina, and to being part of this established yachting event!” Karpaz Gate Marina is the country’s first-ever luxury marina and is part of the all-new Karpaz Bay Resort (KBR). Located on the stunning Karpaz Peninsula in the north-eastern tip of the Turkish Republicof Northern Cyprus (TRNC), Karpaz Gate Marina has 300 berths available including 12 berths for superyachts up to a maximum of 55 metres in length. Every detail of the marina has been designed with yacht owners and visitors in mind, and Karpaz will be an attractive destination for day and weekend trips, and where both large and small boats, and long- and short-term visitors, will be equally welcome. The management has recently announced the addition of a beach club to the facilities, which is set to be open later in the year. The resort will also include a children’s playground, gym, as well as restaurants, hotel, a mini supermarket and a range of services such as yacht brokerage, ship chandlery, a sailing school, and a diving centre as well as dining facilities. Sea-Alliance Group, the marina management company, has already secured a number of international companies to have a presence at Karpaz Gate Marina, and is currently in negotiations with others who are interested in taking the remaining available spaces within the marina buildings.

New luxury marina set to welcome yacht rally ahead of launch

Sea-Alliance Group (SAG), the international maritime business, is undergoing significant growth and is now extending its offering to include Crew Recruitment as one of its many professional services. The company, which provides services in yacht sales and purchase, new construction and technical management, yacht management, charters, marina management and marine projects, has added this new service as it expands the scope of its management solutions in reaction to demand from its growing customer base. The SAG Crew Recruitment division will be headed up by Jennifer Thomson, Sea-Alliance Group’s representative from the south of France. The company will use its professional contacts and experience of crew recruitment to create the new division, to which individuals seeking roles such as captains, deck hands, service staff, chefs, and yacht engineers will be encouraged to sign up. Itay Singer, Director of Sea-Alliance Group, said: “As a busy yacht management company we are often coming into contact with well qualified and experienced crew, and already place all our own crew on board our managed vessels. Therefore, it was a natural progression to expand into offering this service for yachts and captains outside of our management fleet.” He continued, “As a full-service management company we understand that having the right crew onboard is imperative for the successful day-to-day running of a yacht.We also know that the person who may appear like the best fit on paper is not always the right choice for any one boat, and therefore we interview all our candidates in person and verify references ourselves. We are focused on providing a high quality service and will ensure to place the most suitable candidate to each boat.” Sea-Alliance Group +350 2006 1666 <a href="http://www.sea-alliance.com">www.sea-alliance.com</a>
