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 operating-specific benchmarks developed with Lloyd’s Register—aiming to make emissions comparisons more accessible for owners, ports, marinas, banks and insurers, with Saint-Barthélemy among the SEA Index network. Local Culture & Tourism: Saint Barthélemy is set to host the Caribbean Rum Awards from Oct. 26–30, featuring five days of blind judging, beachfront parties, rare-rum tastings and chef-led dinners, plus a White Party at Les Îlets de la Plage and a final multi-course pairing dinner. Travel Deals & Itineraries: Oceania Cruises is promoting late-2026 Caribbean sailings on its adults-only ships (Oceania Marina, Vista and Allura), with itineraries from seven to 14 days and a limited-time offer for bookings by 8 Sept. 2026 that includes complimentary airfare and a pre-cruise hotel on select routes. Visa Costs (France): France has published updated fees for Schengen, long-stay, airport transit, adopted child and short-stay visas, including reduced costs for children aged 6–12 on selected visas, and notes some applicants may be exempt depending on their situation.
