Day 7 started with a trip to an island in Mikkelsen Harbour to put some nesting gentoo penguins in our eyeholes. Nope, still not board of the waddling little comedy shows wrapped in a tuxedo. Those piles of stones they're lying on are their nests, they've all got eggs. If you close one eye and squint with the other this could be a scene of tourists sprawled on the pebbles at Brighton beach. It looks about as comfortable. Also featured were a load of weddell seals. If you don't catch a seal with its head up you might as well be looking at a field of huge slugs. Imagine waking up in your tent on a long distance trail and a slug that size is right there watching you sleep. That afternoon we shifted to Cierva Cove where the water was so still it could almost be described as glass. You could even see the delicate ripples made by tiny bits of brash ice as it floated silently past the ship. And the scenery? This is what we’d paid money for. These were the photos you’d see in the brochures. The landscape practically screamed “Antarctica” loud enough to cause avalanches. We were taken out in zodiacs to look at ice. There was a leopard seal just floating around on its little iceberg having a lovely time until several boats of tourists breezed past disturbing its peace. I think this little excursion was one of my favourite things we did on this trip, the zodiac grinding through the brash ice as Matt told us what we were looking at. We saw another weddell seal too which stared right back at us for a couple of seconds before diving out of sight. Awesome day! . https://travelnshit.com/2023/01/08/antarctica-day-7/ • • • #Antarctica #GAdventures #GExpedition #antarcticaexpedition #antarcticacruise #cruise #wildlife #wildlifespotting #nature #naturegram #instanature #penguin #marinelife #marinetour #travel #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #bucketlist #travelcouple #couplegoals #antarcticpeninsula #iceberg #leopardseal #weddellseal #landscape #landscapeporn #ciervacove #mikkelsenharbour (at Antarctic Peninsula) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnrWAWPOwMu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Southeast Asia’s Yacht Industry Sees Rapid Growth and Opportunities

Southeast Asia's yacht industry is expanding rapidly, establishing its presence on the global stage. The region's strategic location, stunning coastlines, and growing affluent population have made it a hub for yacht manufacturing, chartering, and tourism. In 2023, the market reached a value of $1.5 billion and is expected to grow by 12% annually. Among Southeast Asian countries, Indonesia stands out with its rich maritime tradition, vast coastlines, and dynamic economy.

Factors Behind Southeast Asia’s Yacht Industry Growth

Several key factors contribute to the significant growth of the yacht industry in Southeast Asia:

Strategic Location: The region's extensive coastline, numerous islands, and archipelagos offer ideal conditions for yachting. Its proximity to major Asian markets like China and India also makes it an attractive destination for yacht enthusiasts.

Economic Growth: Rapid economic expansion in Southeast Asia has led to an increase in high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs). This affluent population drives demand for luxury experiences, including yacht ownership and charters.

Government Support: Several Southeast Asian countries have recognized the potential of the yacht industry. They have introduced policies such as tax incentives, simplified regulations, and investment in infrastructure like marinas and docking facilities.

Tourism Surge: Southeast Asia is famous for attracting millions of tourists each year. Its natural beauty, diverse cultures, and warm hospitality make it a prime location for yacht charters, further driving industry growth.

Opportunities in Southeast Asia’s Yacht Sector

The yacht industry in Southeast Asia offers numerous opportunities for businesses and investors:

Yacht Manufacturing: The region has become a manufacturing center for yachts, thanks to skilled labor, affordable costs, and easy access to suppliers. Local shipyards produce high-quality vessels that compete globally.

Yacht Chartering: With the rise of HNWIs and tourist arrivals, the demand for luxury yacht charters has grown. Companies can meet this demand by offering tailored experiences that cater to varied client preferences.

Yacht Tourism: Southeast Asia's stunning landscapes and countless islands make it ideal for yacht tourism. Businesses can create exclusive itineraries that showcase the region’s natural wonders and cultural attractions, appealing to both experienced yachtsmen and newcomers.

Yacht Services: As the industry grows, the need for specialized services like maintenance, repairs, and refits also increases. Companies that offer these services can tap into a profitable market and build long-term relationships with yacht owners.

Challenges in Southeast Asia’s Yacht Industry

Despite its promising prospects, the yacht industry in Southeast Asia faces a few challenges:

Infrastructure Development: Some countries have invested in yachting infrastructure, but more is needed. Building additional marinas, fueling stations, and repair facilities is essential to support the industry’s growth.

Regulatory Differences: Regulations around yacht ownership, chartering, and operations vary across Southeast Asia. Navigating these complexities is crucial for businesses to ensure legal compliance.

Environmental Impact: The yacht industry can affect the environment through fuel use and waste disposal. Companies must adopt sustainable practices to reduce their ecological impact.

Indonesia: A Rising Star in the Yachting Industry

Indonesia, with its 17,000+ islands, has the potential to become a premier yachting destination. Its vibrant marine life, untouched beaches, and rich cultural heritage offer a unique experience for yacht travelers. The Indonesian government's initiatives to boost marine tourism and invest in infrastructure have enhanced the country's appeal in this sector.

The growing middle class and the rise of HNWIs in Indonesia have increased the demand for yacht ownership and chartering services. Moreover, Indonesia's strategic location in Southeast Asia makes it an ideal starting point for yacht journeys to nearby countries like Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore.

The local yacht industry in Indonesia is also seeing growth in yacht production capabilities. Several domestic shipyards are now recognized for their craftsmanship and ability to produce world-class yachts that meet international standards.

Siang hari itu kami disambut dengan ramah oleh Bapak Sil, pengelola Bajo Komodo Eco Lodge. Kami dibawa berkeliling di salah satu hotel di Labuan Bajo tersebut. Berdiri sejak 2003, hotel inilah yang pertama mengangkat konsep hunian lestari di kota ini. Penginapan yang ada terdiri atas 17 kamar ini menggunakan air daur ulang yang ditampung dalam rain barrel. Seluruh pasokan listrik pun telah direstorasi di dalam panel surya! Bahkan bagian belakang hotel ini juga ditumbuhi ilalang yang sengaja dibiarkan liar. 71 jenis burung tak ragu menjadikan halaman ini tempat persinggahan mereka. Senang rasanya Komodo Eco Lodge berkomitmen untuk bergabung dalam #SigningBlue Rabu 23/11 lalu. Semoga gerakan penyedia akomodasi yang ramah lingkungan semakin meluas di pusat atraksi wisata Indonesia! Atau adakah yang bisa kasih rekomendasi penginapan ramah lingkungan lainnya? Please let us know! 😉 #bajokomodoecolodge #ecolodge #labuanbajo #manggaraibarat #indonesia #responsibletourism #marinetourism #ecotourism #signingblue #wwf #wwfid #togetherpossible #alexamaheswari (at Bajo Komodo Eco Lodge)

Day 6 started with killer whales (photos 6 & 7) but also a humpback whale in amongst them. Apparently they're not the type of killer whale to take down a humpback and it's more likely the humpback was trying to chase them out of its area like a grumpy old bloke shooing teenagers off his lawn. Or in this case, a slightly murderous family. Next came penguins of the adelie variety. You can smell the buggers before you see them. There were fluffy chicks too, you can see one in photo 4 if you look closely and try to imagine a face on the fuzzy black blob in the middle. Photo 5 is a skua so a big boo hiss from the audience, please. It likes to steal and eat penguin eggs and isn't above going for a chick as a tasty snack. It's only trying to survive like everything else but I think most of us are Team Penguin. There was some cracking scenery today too as we cruised down the Lemaire Channel. Icebergs and glaciers and all manner of your quintessential Antarctica eyehole fodder. Yeah I'm sorry but if you're not here to see an obnoxious quantity of ice then you're probably in the wrong corner of the Internet. . https://travelnshit.com/2023/01/07/antarctica-day-6/ • • • #Antarctica #GAdventures #GExpedition #antarcticaexpedition #antarcticacruise #cruise #wildlife #wildlifespotting #nature #naturegram #instanature #penguin #humpbackwhale #marinelife #marinetour #travel #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #bucketlist #travelcouple #couplegoals #antarcticpeninsula #killerwhale #orca #adeliepenguin #yalourislands #lemairechannel #iceberg (at Antarctic Peninsula) https://www.instagram.com/p/CndS216jEax/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Day 5, and we woke up to an Antarctic blizzard, the snow sweeping in sideways and settling on the deck. Obviously this meant we had to spend a few minutes after breakfast lobbing it at each other like the mature and sensible adults we are. We couldn't visit Port Lockroy because they'd taken damage in a storm last night. To be fair the winds were around 100kms per hour so I'm surprised they still have a building. We did get to land at an Argentine base called Almirante Brown though and it's actually on the peninsula rather than an island so I definitely feel we can tick the seventh continent off. We can go home now. We were in the last group for the landing so we had to wait for a few people to leave first but they took us on a little zodiac ride to look at someblue eyed shags. That was awesome, they had some fluffy chicks, but also awesome was the humpback whale that was so incredibly close to the zodiac I could have fingered its blowhole. We landed right by a gentoo penguin colony and oh sweet Jesus, they fucking stink. I've totally rethought stealing one to keep in the shower. They're very cute though. We had to cross their little penguin highway so we had to sidle quite close to them. Not sad about this. We walked up a fuck off great hig hill for a spot of excellent eyehole fodder which was all when and good but then we had to get down again and I have all the grace of a giraffe trying to get on a lilo in a swimming pool. I definitely stacked it a couple of times which wouldn't be so bad but the only contact between you and Antarctica should be your disinfected bog boots, not your grubby mitts and fat arse. That evening we moored in a sheltered bay where the water was so still and it was so peaceful. We had a few drinks and watched whales in the distance. . https://travelnshit.com/2023/01/06/antarctica-day-5/ • • • #Antarctica #GAdventures #GExpedition #antarcticaexpedition #antarcticacruise #cruise #wildlife #wildlifespotting #nature #naturegram #instanature #penguin #humpbackwhale #marinelife #gentoopenguin #marinetour #travel #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #bucketlist #travelcouple #couplegoals #antarcticpeninsula #almirantebrown #blizzard (at Antarctic Peninsula) https://www.instagram.com/p/CndG1UUOyoZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Standby for days and days of Antarctica spam. I'm going to be working this trip into conversations for the rest of my life with even the most tenuous link. Bit cold? Not as cold as that time I went to Antarctica. Getting married? Nice white dress. Reminds me of the time I went to Antarctica. Grandparent dead? Just like Shackleton who went to Antarctica and now you mention it, did I tell you that I also went there? Day 1 was in Ushuaia. Days 2 & 3 were spent crossing the surprisingly calm Drake Passage so if someone can point at the deity responsible for that I'll sacrifice them a penguin. Day 4 was when shit got real and we landed on one of the South Shetland Islands to gawp at elephant seals and penguins. We got so close to them and they gave exactly zero fucks. It was pretty amazing. Staff were on hand to make sure we didn't get TOO close, mind. Tourists are gonna tourist and they'll tourist extra hard for that selfie. That evening a whole shit tonne of humpback whales showed up, bang in the middle of dinner, the inconsiderate bastards. They don't usually hang out with each other, they were probably all just feeding. The ship was steered closer, we stopped and the whales surrounded us. Later on we were told there could have been up to thirty. We didn't know where to look, there were so many, blasting air through their blowholes with a terrific noise. We spent about an hour watching them and honestly, I can't think of a better way to spend an hour. . 1. Our first iceberg 2. Scuse me, mate. Your seal melted 3. Elephant seals 4. Chinstrap penguin 5. Gentoo penguins 6. Elephant seals, mock jousting 7. Young elephant seal 8-10. Humpback whales . https://travelnshit.com/2023/01/05/antarctica-day-4/ • • • #Antarctica #GAdventures #GExpedition #antarcticaexpedition #antarcticacruise #cruise #wildlife #wildlifespotting #nature #naturegram #instanature #southshetlandislands #elephantseal #penguin #humpbackwhale #marinelife #chinstrappenguin #gentoopenguin #marinetour #travel #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #bucketlist #travelcouple #couplegoals (at Antarctic Peninsula) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnazN0qD4Pq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
