A milestone for Carenantilles Shipyard!
A new milestone has been reached a few days ago in the Caribbean when Carenantilles Shipyard in Martinique hauled out a 400 ton yacht.
It is the first time that a boat of this weight has ever been hauled out with a travelift in the Caribbean. The captain and the owner were really pleased with the responsiveness and professionalism of the shipyard's technicians.
The 150 ft yacht needed emergency repair work done on its stern tube system and stayed 5 days at the shipyard.

When Charlie Dana’s wife rang in the middle of the night on a sailing trip to let him know that the last remaining shipyard in Newport was going to be put up for auction, Dana just couldn’t stop thinking about it. The yard’s fourth bankruptcy had obviously taken its toll, and though it would mean throwing away almost four centuries of Newport history, it was time to say goodbye and turn the once-booming yard into something a bit more modern… like condos. Or timeshares. This idea appalled the long-time sailor and former Commodore of the New York Yacht Club.

It's hard for us to believe, but 2018 will mark 10 years since we first published the Yacht Insider's Guide in 2009, as we go to press with the 10th edition this coming May.
We are grateful to have had the support of so many in the yachting community during the past 9 years, and to have formed many new friendships and relationships as we worked on the guidebook and website.

Twenty-five Ted Hood-designed boats recently gathered in Bristol RI for an enchanting weekend to honor the many accomplishments of the late renowned yachtsman, sailmaker, and naval architect. The yachts’ owners, their friends, members of the Hood family and the marine industry participated in a three-day celebration.
The “Open Boat” cocktail party on Friday night attracted many guests, eager to see the fleet ranging from the original Robin (1959), the 12-meter Nefertiti to the majestic 116’ Whisper.

The gorgeous Rox Star, a 131ft /40m sail yacht, custom built in 2015 by Oguz Marine, just left Martinique after a very successful shipyard break in Carenantilles, Martinique.
The yacht stayed at the shipyard for almost a month to undertake a serie of maintenance services before a busy season in the Med. The captain and the crew were thrilled by their stay in Martinique and by the level of professionalism of Carenantilles Shipyard. They were also delighted to discover the excellent provisioning options offered by the French island.
