AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoYachting & Environment: The Yacht Club de Monaco’s SEA Index has expanded its CO₂ certification beyond superyachts to cover recreational boats from 10 metres, production vessels and catamarans, using hull- and speed-specific benchmarks developed with Lloyd’s Register—supporting more consistent comparisons for owners, shipyards, ports, marinas, banks and insurers, with Saint-Barthélemy among the network of marinas. Local Culture & Tourism: St Barth is set to host the Caribbean Rum Awards from Oct. 26–30, with five days of blind judging, beachfront parties, rare-rum tastings and chef-led dinners, anchored by events like a White Party at Les Îlets de la Plage and a final multi-course rum-and-food pairing dinner. Travel & Leisure (Cruises): Oceania Cruises is promoting late-2026 Caribbean sailings on its adults-only ships (Oceania Marina, Vista and Allura), mixing popular stops with smaller boutique ports and shore experiences such as beekeeping in St. Lucia, antiques in Pointe-à-Pitre and banana-farm visits in Martinique. Visa Update (France): France has published fees for several visa types (including Schengen, long-stay, airport transit, adopted child and short-stay) and reduced costs for children aged 6–12 on selected visas, with some applicants—like certain family members of French citizens—potentially exempt depending on their situation.
