Large charter vessel under way

About & contact

Two decades of the same strait.

Specialist knowledge is knowing which marina a hull can lie at, when the manta window opens, and which anchorage the swell rules out this morning.

Expertise here is operational, not editorial. It is knowing what the water does on a Tuesday in March.

  • Which class can lie at which marina.
  • When the cleaning stations are actually running.
  • How the strait behaves after noon.
  • What a quote leaves out unless you ask.

Where it shows

Three things a brochure cannot tell you

All three are the difference between an itinerary that survives contact with the sea and one that does not.

Marina constraints

Sanur is tide-dependent and day boats only. Benoa is the only superyacht berth and the port of entry. That single fact re-plans most enquiries.

Seasonal windows

Mantas April to October. Dry-season trades offshore on the west, wet-season westerlies turning on the east side. The itinerary follows, not the other way round.

Reading the day

Swell direction decides the anchorage order on the morning. A fixed rotation printed last month is a guess.

Put it to work

Describe the day you want rather than the boat you think you need. The desk works backwards to the hull.
