In the world of grand seafaring vehicles, few vessels capture the imagination quite like a superyacht. One such floating spectacle, the 92.5-meter yacht named ‘Royal Romance’, seized in the maritime nation of Croatia in 2022, is set to make a temporary voyage to the historically rich port of Trogir. The purpose? Mandatory technical maintenance to ensure the vessel remains in peak condition. The impressive move was officially announced on 16 June by Ukraine’s National Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA), the authoritative entity that oversees the yacht’s current disposition.
When it comes to endurance, vigor, and resilience, few challenges can rival the intensity of the McIntyre Mini Globe Race. A fleet of the world’s most robust sailing boats, helmed by the fearless and intrepid, dared to tackle the unforgiving Pacific in a historic 4,300-mile test. The stakes were high; the risks, perilous. But these sailors were driven by an indomitable spirit that thrives on venturing into the unknown and pushing the boundaries of human endurance.
Upon embarking from the docks and venturing into the sprawling insecurity of the Mighty Pacific, the fleet had one goal. To cross 4,300 miles of churning waves, unpredictable weather, and shipping traffic, armed with nothing but grit and a spirit of camarity—capturing the essence of maritime adventure in its purest form.
