For example, the amazing Loose Cannon set up by the Michelin Chef Colin McGurran is a refreshing asset to Galleon Beach, with excellent, friendly and efficient service. There is an Indian restaurant, adored by the yacht crew and yacht guests alike called Indian Sunset, that served one of the best Indian dishes I have ever had! For fine dining, I recommend Sheer Rocks and the newly launched Asian-inspired Rokun.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/25996/image/large-b0909ee9790c2f9928f62ce020a4498e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/25996">The lesser-frequented sister of Antigua, yet only an overnight cruise away, the low-lying coral island of Barbuda provides a feeling of true seclusion.

This exclusive dining experience retains the romantic mystique of Barbuda and allows guests to experience NOBU’s finest, toes-in-the-sand service.Bobby Bigio, Charter Broker at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Camper & Nicholsons International (Company)">Camper and Nicholsons</a>, told SuperYacht Times, “NOBU restaurant in the South of Barbuda offers a relaxed sophistication for the well-heeled to enjoy lunch and a swim.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/284672/image/large-c5f34d81-8df9-4166-9b8c-7621d77cc611.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/284672">Barbuda’s beaches are generally quieter and calmer than those of other Caribbean islands.

The beach that won the namesake Pink Sand Beach is situated on the southwestern coast of Barbuda and is admired for its bubblegum pink shade that glows against the azure water that laps on the shore.&nbsp;For a fresh perspective that satisfies wanderlust, exploring Antigua and Barbuda from above allows guests a spectacular vision of the region. A helicopter tour while superyacht cruising in Antigua and Barbuda enlists guests with the full scope of the biodiversity and serenity of the natural landscape. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/258610/image/large-a96a57ae6295bafe260b9b37943ec2a6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/258610">With thick green jungles, vibrant coral reefs and epic mountain ranges, there is certainly something iconic about an aerial view of this archipelagic nation. The highlight of a helicopter cruise of the region is undoubtedly the lively Soufriere Hills Volcano, which inhabits the southern portion of the island of Montserrat and has, in recent decades, begun to bubble and erupt.While Antigua and Barbuda overflows with a dizzying suite of spellbinding nature, the nation’s patchwork of kaleidoscopic coral reefs cement Antigua and Barbuda into travel folklore. A network of gloriously intact coral reefs fringe Antigua and Barbuda, busy with ocean life unique to the tropical waters of the region, from brightly-coloured schools of fish to flotillas of mellow sea turtles.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/258609/image/large-a91a522c82d55f5b1c1d72c461d267ab.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/258609">Such thriving sea life makes snorkelling and diving a must-do activity when superyacht cruising in Antigua and Barbuda.

Chartering a superyacht for a luxurious voyage across the azure waters of Greece is an experience unparalleled in grandeur and serenity. The idea of cruising through the calm Aegean Sea, exploring historic sites, and indulging in the rich Greek culture is as appealing to the wanderlust spirit as it is to those seeking a retreat from the hustle of everyday life.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/173976/image/large-d462992fe528bcfc1ab4b8897e40883c.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/173976">Our adventure begins on board superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Africa I47.0m (154'2&quot;)Benetti SpA2010">Africa I</a>, where Captain Savvas and his highly professional crew welcomes us on board in Nafplion, a picturesque seaside town on the Peloponnese peninsula. Built by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> in 2010, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Africa I47.0m (154'2&quot;)Benetti SpA2010">Africa I</a> underwent a full refresh in 2021, including a brand new contemporary interior. The refit left her in as-new condition and proves to be an unbeatable base for enjoying a charter.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/282730/image/large-e8ed62f8-abae-4635-82d6-7d5a9f69cad5.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/282730">&nbsp;Steeped in history, Nafplion was the first capital of modern Greece and its charm is evident in its neoclassical mansions, narrow cobblestone alleys, and Venetian fortresses. As we settle into our comfortable cabins, the crew sets course to Monemvasia, whilst the guests take in views of the Bourtzi castle sitting on an islet in Nafplion’s harbor, or gaze at the imposing Palamidi fortress perched atop a hill.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/320680/image/large-112b1d9119064d9b95d2e17cbf75cf68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/320680">Monemvasia – a medieval fortress town located on a small island linked is to the mainland by a causeway, is often referred to as "The Gibraltar of the East,” Monemvasia's fairytale appearance belies its historical significance; it has resisted sieges and conquests for centuries. Captain Savvas secures a berth on the small dock close to the centre of town, which is only a short but steep taxi ride up the hill. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/320690/image/large-236cdd13faa1d69aa2699dea9993305b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/320690">We spend our evening wandering through stone streets within its mighty walls discovering Byzantine churches, charming squares, and hidden corners that whisper tales of yesteryears. Chief Steward Adonis and stewardess Marianna accompany us, making sure we find our way back from the town’s labyrinth of small alleys.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/173967/image/large-9d15c28c42eb4a158c4dcb856d92c960.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/173967">Over breakfast the next day, plans are made for a water-sports filled day, and when the captain tells us “I know just the place”, we all know we will be in for a treat. And what a treat it is. Nestled between the rocks, and hardly visible from the sea, we anchor in an incredibly Instagram friendly secluded bay. Here, the day is spend testing out all of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Africa I47.0m (154'2&quot;)Benetti SpA2010">Africa I</a>’s toys. As some of the guests take the jet ski’s to explore a nearby village built around a natural harbour, other test out the flyboards, subs, SeaBobs and wakeboards. Meanwhile the crew has set up an impromptu champagne picnic on the beach, whilst a local friendly sheep herder looks on in bewildered amusement. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/320691/image/large-7609a7fcdde317ed3a46ec7bcfff0a17.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/320691">Day three promises leisure mixed with luxury as we wake up to gentle waves carrying us towards Spetses – an island known for its pine forests and secluded beaches. Spetses exudes elegance with horse-drawn carriages being one preferred mode of transport due to restrictions on private vehicles.Once there, we explore rich captains’ mansions turned museums, followed by an evening visit of a local church to celebrate Greek Easter. Candles and fireworks light up the small street, and as night falls upon Spetses, we enjoy cocktails on board followed by a truly spectacular dinner. Our party all votes the chef, who won the Chef’s Competition at the 2024 Mediterranean Yacht Show, as the best we ever experienced on a yacht. Yet, the best was still to come.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/320689/image/large-e7594b38bdab5f787e0953c329d487c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/320689">That night, a memorable dance battle unfolds between the guests and the members of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Africa I47.0m (154'2&quot;)Benetti SpA2010">Africa</a>'s team. Outclassed by their lineup featuring a skilled break dancer, we had no choice but to concede defeat, leaving the crew to triumphantly claim the prize.The next dawn found us anchored along the fragrant, pine-laden southern coast of Poros. Tied up so close to the shore, it felt as if we can reach out and brush the island with our fingertips. A bustle of excitement lures us towards the swim platform where, to our amazement, Africa's crew is assembling an enormous barbecue. "What's a Greek Easter without the quintessential lamb roast?" Adonis proclaimed. As if on cue, the deckhands emerge bearing an entire lamb which would spend the ensuing hours slowly turning over the glowing embers. Surrounded by generous helpings of food and a crew that had come to resemble family, we extend an invitation for the whole crew to join in the communal Easter celebration on the aft deck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/320674/image/large-5a2e1c42aea24c03ab69a368e3932103.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/320674">That evening, our final leg brings us back towards mainland Greece, ending in Athens – in the bay of Vouliagmeni, for one final culinary feast; local specialties paired with renowned Greek wines culminate in a sensory celebration. We reflect on these last few days that have etched themselves not just into our photo albums but also into our life stories.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/282919/image/large-5ec8bf5b-fbb0-4800-ada4-6eedc3a5eb67.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/282919">While this journey lasts only five days - starting at Nafplion's historic elegance going through Monemvasia's medieval mystery then embracing Spetses' relaxed rhythm and anchoring in stunningly blue waters, until docking in Athens - each moment aboard crafts narratives beyond mere travel, touching essences within us about exploration's true meaning: discovery not just places but ourselves amongst them too.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/320667/image/large-4c2c707dd3c6ffc27ddc72ff836079bc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/320667"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Africa I47.0m (154'2&quot;)Benetti SpA2010">Africa I</a> can still be chartered in Greece this summer, from August 21 to September 8th, with 20% discounts for 14-18 day charters.

A closer look at the Antigua and Barbuda

Jessamie Rattray takes a closer look at the glorious Antigua and Barbuda as a superyacht cruising ground.


Ultimate Nautical Bliss: A closer look at Antigua and Barbuda

When most people envision superyacht cruising destinations, their minds often wander to the sun-soaked Caribbean or the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean. Yet the provinces of Atlantic Canada, also known as the Maritime Provinces, with their rugged charm and allure, are not typically the first superyacht cruising destinations that spring to mind. Despite this, many superyachts venture into this region. Atlantic Canada encompasses four distinct provinces: Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland &amp; Labrador.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300254/image/large-46eae81c53fc4431b2a8c8e1d69a8081.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300254"><a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a> recently engaged in a discussion with Adam and Amanda Langley, founders of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7520" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht East Coast (Company)">Superyacht East Coast</a>, a company specialising in promoting the development and interconnection of marinas in the region to optimise their operational efficiency. Adam, with his prior experience in marine operations and development for Develop Nova Scotia, a government initiative, observed that many yachts were initially unaware of Nova Scotia as a destination, perceiving it as remote, despite its proximity to the Northeast Coast of the United States.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300294/image/large-2a2af7718170971c61b1d78e74764f01.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300294">Data sourced from <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a>&nbsp; covering the period from 2022 onwards, illustrates a consistent number of superyacht visits to Atlantic Canada during the summer months. A deeper analysis reveals that there were 35 superyacht visits in 2023, closely paralleling the 34 visits in 2022.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300317/image/large-480e666286279f1ae4db7540246e582a.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300317">Reflecting on the increasing presence of superyachts in Atlantic Canada, Adam remarked: “A decade ago, there were barely any superyachts in the region, around a handful. Now, when we attend boat shows in Fort Lauderdale or Palm Beach and mention that about 40 superyachts visited Halifax last summer, people are genuinely shocked.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300307/image/large-48caad71fec562e79e8eec623b09f23b.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300307">Captain Chris Walsh of the 67.75-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/108" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Archimedes67.75m (222'3&quot;)Feadship2008">Archimedes</a> shared his perspective on the region's unique appeal, noting: “my first time in the area was in 2004, the main attraction of Atlantic Canada is its unspoiled nature. With plenty of interesting activities, readily available docks, and numerous harbours, the region is a haven for those who love the outdoors, nature, and wildlife. Its perceived remoteness is misleading, as it's quite accessible from the Northeast Coast of the USA. Its status as a hidden gem is precisely what I find appealing.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300252/image/large-30286e1893f344185741ca7a5fa7f999.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300252">Echoing Walsh’s sentiment, Amanda Langley further underscored the region's growing attraction among superyacht owners. She highlighted the distinct allure of Atlantic Canada, saying, “The distinctive authenticity offers a stark contrast to the experiences in places like Florida and Monaco.” She explained that owners are increasingly attracted to the region, not in search of experiences akin to those found in Fort Lauderdale, but for the novel and enriching adventures exclusive to this region.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300255/image/large-b63172d5acac87e80173f7bb72e548ee.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300255">In discussing the diversity of cruising destinations within Atlantic Canada, Adam and Amanda highlighted approximately five distinct areas, each with their own charm and challenges. They specifically emphasised the Bay of Fundy, famous for having the world's highest tides. Recognising the concerns these conditions may pose for captains, they stated: “We ensure superyacht captains venturing into the region have a thorough understanding of the local maritime environments by providing advice and guidance to support diverse itineraries and safe navigation through our waters.” As for Fundy’s tides, they only impact a small portion of the province with the rest of Nova Scotia experiencing 1.5–2.5 metre tidal ranges.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300286/image/large-7083005641923f9e5a9c0c1706f6f8f9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300286">Captain Emile Bootsma of the 60.35-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/185" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Blue Moon60.35m (197'12&quot;)Feadship2005">Blue Moon</a> described the region with vivid enthusiasm. “It possesses beauty to match Maine and the isolation akin to Alaska, offering everything an adventurous superyacht owner could desire and more. The region has gorgeous, isolated anchorages, flat calm waters, and an abundance of cultural and historic interests”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300302/image/large-4160adbd48b60fff2cee92e43ddbce5f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300302">Expanding on the region's diversity, Adam states, “On the western shore of Nova Scotia, there's a body of water we affectionately refer to the Mediterranean of the North with water temperatures that surprisingly reach into the high 20s Celsius during summer, often warmer than many expect.” He continued, “Additionally, our province is home to Cape Breton Island, which has an inland sea. Remarkably, a 200-foot yacht can navigate through a canal to enter this brackish, saltwater habitat known as The Bras d’Or Lake.” Amanda chimed in, commenting: “I believe it's yachting’s best-kept secret. Over the past year, we've collaborated with the tourism association in Cape Breton Island to raise awareness of this hidden gem.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300311/image/large-053369221d18a0d29a5f3777e5fc89c7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300311">Captain Walsh further emphasised the beauty of Cape Breton, articulating how the region fosters a deep connection with the maritime world, which is at the heart of what yachting enthusiasts cherish. He shared his experiences, stating, “Visiting Cape Breton feels like a reconnection to the essence of the maritime world. It's a sentiment we all deeply appreciate”. He also reflected on his journey to southern Newfoundland, drawing a captivating comparison: “The experience there was remarkable. It reminded me of the ports of Norway with their extraordinary enchantment and natural beauty.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291312/image/large-d06d20ce9ed9d3c1eccf1c1eed22078f.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291312">Captain Ken Bracewell of the 47.1-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/864" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Berilda47.1m (154'6&quot;)Feadship2001">Berilda</a> provided additional insights into the attractions of Cape Breton, particularly highlighting its golfing excellence. “Cape Breton is home to some world-class golf courses,” he explained: “Specifically, Cabot Links and Cabot Cliffs stand out as two of the best in the world. Additionally, several other courses in the vicinity deserve world-class recognition for their quality and challenge. Notably, on nearby Prince Edward Island, Dundarave and Crowbush stand out. Also, Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island, presents an exceptionally well-protected harbour and a charming city to explore”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300247/image/large-7182b984f524411d0d9807555d3d365e.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300247">Adding a further personal perspective to the region Captain Bracewell shared: “Nova Scotia, meaning New Scotland, truly lives up to its name, the resemblance to the Scottish coastline is striking. When you're there, it feels distinctly like Scotland, almost as though you've stepped out of North America and into a different part of the world”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300304/image/large-7852a5aa27ca2afa8cffbe5a38457001.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300304">The maritime heritage of Nova Scotia is deeply ingrained, showcasing a rich seafaring history that spans centuries. During the age of sail, it was renowned as one of the world’s foremost builders of sailing ships. This legacy has cultivated a wealth of professional services and maritime expertise, catering to a broad spectrum of needs, ranging from commercial and recreational vessels to superyachts. Adam Langley, emphasising this point, stated, “A crucial factor that reassures captains is the region's developing shipyard and marine service providers. They offer dependable resources for necessary repairs or maintenance, ensuring a seamless continuation of their voyage”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300330/image/large-f54bd5382a3b8b329f8a6872e07b3293.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300330">The region has been steadily enhancing its infrastructure to better accommodate superyacht visitation, with Halifax emerging as a 'port of confidence.' This term signifies a destination where captains can expect a seamless experience, supported by a full suite of services tailored to their needs. The city’s robust infrastructure contributes to its appeal as a superyacht hub. Elaborating on Halifax's allure, Amanda noted, “Superyachts can dock right in the heart of the city, providing immediate access to the finest restaurants, art galleries, and museums. You're essentially at the centre of everything. Moreover, the proximity to an international airport simplifies logistics for guests and crew, including arrivals and changes.”In further sharing his insights, Captain Bracewell highlighted the city’s charm. “Halifax is an exceptional city with a vibrant food culture and fantastic restaurants,”. He further added, &nbsp;“What’s more, just a six to ten-hour cruise away, you can reach remarkably remote areas. These locations, known for their serene beauty and tranquillity, are largely inaccessible by any means other than by sea”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300301/image/large-ee536deb4cc23de3be2601656a896b4d.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300301">Adding to the discussion of the region’s infrastructure, Chris Walsh highlighted the ease of yachting operations in less crowded spaces. "It makes it very easy to reconnect," Walsh noted. "Here, you're not competing with so many other superyachts for a little spot or a service from someone. The less crowded environment is a significant advantage, making the cruising experience more relaxed and enjoyable.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300263/image/large-097395da51eb70722090986048e3f0c6.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300263">Adam further elucidated that “While Halifax acts as a gateway supporting the broader itinerary across the province, it’s important to note that Nova Scotia doesn’t have, nor does it aim to develop, traditional superyacht marinas. This approach is part of our charm and what draws people here. Instead, our focus is on ensuring the existing infrastructure, like floating docks, power, water, and Wi-Fi, meets a high standard. We prioritise enhancing traditional settings, such as timber wharves, to accommodate superyachts comfortably, blending our rich maritime heritage with modern necessities”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300327/image/large-2b20dde4864e80172aa7dc50de863318.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300327">As we have observed, Atlantic Canada's charm as an unexpected superyacht destination is on the rise, presenting a refreshing alternative to the traditional yachting hotspots. However, this increasing popularity may present a double-edged sword. While it brings more attention to the region, there is a risk that it could impact its rustic, isolated appeal, which is part of what makes it so uniquely attractive to explorers and yachting enthusiasts. “Managing expectations of our visitors, local communities and service providers is a priority focus for us as we work to build a network of marine destinations while maintaining the authentic appeal of our people and places across Atlantic Canada”, Adam concluded.

However, the progressive involvement of the owner brought a refreshing renewal to the project. Now, the design looks elegant yet informal, simple yet refined. The main idea was to reduce the number of lines in the design to make them stronger, combining round and straight elements.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327892/image/large-3c5274b97b738f39e1d819146685d566.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327892"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327893/image/large-3b78f9cdc2b77d4dc9c66701acba23d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327893">The result is a collection of round frames that reference classic yacht designs, as well as “rational” and comfortable indoor living areas. Dose collaborated with NB111’s owner to choose a selection of natural-toned materials, including blonde walnut, earthy fabrics and marble, settling on no more than five materials per space. “This excellent design result was also greatly supported by the incredible volume of the interiors, which are comparable to a 38-metre yacht, thanks to the generous beam of 8.24-metres,” Dose adds.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/59110" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Meet designer Paolo Dose: Founder of VYD Studio (2023-11-15 14:00:00 +0100)">Meet designer Paolo Dose: Founder of VYD Studio</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327896/image/large-0f62c1d6928d166463ae12a8d3f003c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327896"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/59110" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Meet designer Paolo Dose: Founder of VYD Studio (2023-11-15 14:00:00 +0100)"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327895/image/large-b525466c26770b328d703d00276c79f7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327895"></a>Performance-wise, NB111 is powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> engines with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4531" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="International Maritime Organization (Company)">IMO</a> Tier III certification in line with the most recent emission regulations.
