A NEW BERTHING & CRUISING TAX IN ITALY

A new yacht-berthing and yacht-cruising tax is set to go into effect in Italy on May 1, 2012. The tax impacts any yacht cruising in Italian waters. The tax will be levied on a per-day basis based on LOA, starting at about 33 feet (10.01 meters). The larger the yacht, the larger the monetary amount.
It is not yet clear if and how the new legislation will be applied, since a number of marine organizations are lobbying the Italian government in an effort to amend the law.
Lunautica will closely follow the news on this topic and inform our clients accordingly.

2012 CANNES FILM FESTIVAL & MONACO GRAND PRIX

We would like to alert our clients that, unlike last year, the dates for the Cannes Film Festival and the Grand Prix of Monaco events will overlap in 2012. This may bring about some inconveniences for yacht crews, owners and guests participating in these events.
We recommend planning your parties and events well ahead of time. With both the Grand Prix and the Film Festival taking place at the same time, last minute requests for party supplies and services in the area are likely to be impossible to meet.
Please contact the Lunautica office in Nice via nice@lunautica.com for any preparations you may need.
2012 Cannes Film Festival: May 16th – May 27th, 2012
2012 Monaco Grand Prix: May 24th – May 27th, 2012
