The sailing world has lost one of its brightest stars.
We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Charlie Dalin, the record-breaking winner of the 2024–25 Vendée Globe, at the age of 42.

What makes his achievement all the more extraordinary is that, while the sailing world watched him push the limits of performance, resilience and seamanship, he was quietly fighting a battle few knew about.

In an era obsessed with visibility, he chose dignity over attention and determination over sympathy. He crossed oceans, set records, inspired a generation of sailors, and showed a level of courage that extends far beyond sport.

Today, we remember not only an exceptional sailor, but an exceptional human being.

Fair winds, Charlie.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, loved ones, and the global sailing community that mourns his loss while celebrating the remarkable legacy he leaves behind.

Today we are attending the very first Nautical Business Forum.

The Adriatic charter industry is where we originally laid the foundation for what we do today. It shaped our understanding of real-world operational challenges and inspired us to build smarter, connected yacht solutions that genuinely support fleet owners and operators.

Staying closely connected to the industry is essential, not just to follow trends, but to continuously learn, adapt, and deliver technology that solves the right problems.

Thank you to the organizers (https://www.xn--arter-gya.hr/ 👏 ) for launching this new platform and creating space for meaningful discussions across the nautical sector.
