A Gift for the Yachtsman Who Has Everything: Adopt a Sea Turtle and Track Its Movements via the Web

Here’s a novel idea for gifting the precocious child or the yachtsman who has everything.

SEATURTLE.ORG has tax-deductible donation packages that let you adopt a satellite-tagged sea turtle, or other animal, whose movements you can track through their website.

Seaturtle.org and partner organizations have fitted sea turtles, whale sharks, sea lions, even a peregrine falcon with high-tech data transmitters that relay information about their location via satellite. The information helps researchers better understand animal behavior and improve laws and regulations that protect endangered species.

Visit the SEATURTLE.ORG adoption page to view the names, nationalities and descriptions of many adorable animals like Jah, an Argentinean loggerhead or Lucy Jack, a flatback from northern Australia, or Navajo, a green turtle from New England. Seaturtle.org also has a shop with an assortment of items including apparel embroidered with the seaturtle.org logo, cute stuffed animals, even sea turtle tattoos. If you wish to adopt an animal as a holiday gift international orders must be placed by December 11 and US orders by December 17 for a timely delivery.

Board the “Yellow Submarine” at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show

Megayacht owners are taking advantage of their aft decks as an outstanding platform for private submarine operations. Including a submersible in their onboard toy collections provides the ability for owners and guests to emulate Cousteau, dive whenever or wherever there are pristine reefs or steep walls, all with glasses of chilled champagne in hand.

In fact, Dutch company U-Boat Worx submersibles were so popular at the Monaco Boat Show that the company conducted more than 30 dives in four days with additional requests received during the show.

The latest C-Quester 3, whimsically named the “Yellow Submarine”, completed its Harbour Acceptance Tests and Sea Acceptance Tests under the watchful eye of surveyors from Rotterdam and Hamburg prior to the Monaco show, and will be available for demonstration dives to qualified prospects at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

The C-Questor 3 is fully air-conditioned, features an eight-hour endurance capacity, and operates to a depth of 330 feet. U-Boat Worx will be reducing the price by about ten percent during the Fort Lauderdale show. The C-Quester 3 submersible will be on display alongside U-Boat Worx appointed USA dealer, Brownie’s Yacht Diver.

See  Super and Mega Luxury Yacht Charter to read more about Super Yacht charter, and feel free to contact us if you’re looking for a charter with a submarine aboard! We’ll be at the Ft Lauderdale show and will be happy to discuss your needs.

Free Berths at Karpaz Gate Marine: Gateway to Cypriot Yachting Adventure

Karpaz Gate Marina promises to offer an exciting new Mediterranean destination on the northeastern part of the island of Cypress. Karpaz Gate Marina will be the first luxury yacht marina in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, adding a new dimension of history, culture and adventure to a Greek Isles yacht charter itinerary.

Karpaz Gate Marina is scheduled for completion in May 2011 and will offer berths for 300 yachts, including 16 for superyachts up to 215 ft. Construction has already been completed on double breakwaters that provide a sheltered harbor that is easy to navigate and facilitates mooring. In addition, a drydock facility sprawling over 200,000 square feet and various marina buildings are under construction.

Karpaz Gate Marina plans to be more than a safe and service haven for yachts. The development plans include two world-class resorts with gourmet dining, full service spas, concierge services, a commercial promenade and a casino. As an incentive to yachtsmen, and to celebrate construction progress, the owners of the marina are offering a limited number of trial berths, free of charge, for periods of up to one year.

Northern Cypress is a picturesque island of rugged slopes descending to clear blue Mediterranean waters. Historical tensions between Greek and Turkish populations, which resulted in the partitioning of the island, have also resulted in a fierce dedication to tradition.Tourism is an important source of revenue and the preservation of historical sites, costumes, cuisine and handicrafts make Northern Cypress a unique yachting destination.
