For this edition we go on a South American adventure, joining Aragon’s crew after their 21-day crossing of the Southern Ocean through the Roaring Forties and Screaming Fifties to sail Patagonia’s glacial waters and fjords. We then retreat into a place with front-row seats to the region’s wild landscapes, and onto Uruguay’s José Ignacio for a delicate Pinot Rosé at its local winery. In Panama, the remote, untamed Islas Secas beckon, followed by Caribbean waters and a private island tucked within Colombia’s Rosario archipelago – all rounded off by a route along Cuba’s south-eastern coastline. One Superyacht we catch up with before she too moves onto South America is the sublime, award-winning Sarissa, while back on the Med Black Pearl demonstrates the powerful potential of the DynaRig system – plus much, much more.
Vida, Tierra y Mar (‘Life, Earth, and Sea’
All eyes look North for this year’s Winter issue, to explore the thousands of isles that make up Scandinavia, land of mystic lights and days filled with epic sailing adventures. From Spirit match racing in Stockholm to an itinerary hopping between secret gems in the Swedish archipelago, onto a secluded eco-cabin on the tiny Finnish island of Skjulskäre, we let the region’s magic wash over us. We also explore Superyacht Nilaya with her Captain, sit down with Southern Spas and Doyle Sails to discuss the pioneering ways they’re both harnessing ‘wind as power’, and set sail for the Pacific archipelago to visit nature-first Bawah Reserve. All this before we move back to Antigua to hide away for the rest of the end-of-year season, this time at the revived and reopened Hermitage Bay – plus much, much more.
Rest, relax and enjoy your winter
For TIDE’s special tenth issue, it’s all eyes on Italy – specifically the Tuscan Archipelago, an ancient set of rugged, romantic isles set between vineyard and sea. We explore Pianosa, a former prison island for Mafia bosses which has become a beautiful example of rewilding, Elba, a gritty isle indelibly associated with Napoleon yet with so much more to her story, plus a string of smaller spots full of surprises in our La Dolce Vita Itinerary. Out on the water, we delve into a mighty trio of at once rapid and sleek boats and brands: from new ocean gladiator Maximus and the legendary Kokomo to the fast-accelerating Gunboat brand, before circling back and picking out our ten favourite destinations sailed to so far in honour of our double-digit edition – plus much, much more.
Amore, vela e sole (‘Love, sailing and sun’)
Inspired by the 37th America’s Cup, TIDE’s ninth issue celebrates the boats that helped build the prestigious contest – from meeting a Captain with 10 years’ experience sailing J Class veteran Velsheda, to remembering the Twelve Metre heroes, still the longest-running Class in yachting history. Fast-forward 173 years, and we hone in on the latest pinnacle of design: the first ever racing Superyacht, Raven. Her Captain, designer and Sailing Manager all share with us how she came to be. And while the world’s best sailors battle it out on the water, we invite you to explore Barcelona’s new wave of Catalonian cuisine, before sailing to the nearby Balearics with our sailing itinerary for each island – plus much, much more.
Prepárate, Vamos! (‘Get ready, let’s go!’)
For TIDE’s eighth and two-year anniversary issue we explore the seafarer's dream location of French Polynesia, including long-standing hidden gem Teti'aroa, an atoll that delighted Marlon Brando so much he quickly chose to call it home. We check into The Brando, the hotel he helped devise, and which continues to set ecotourism standards today. Elsewhere, we spend a calm afternoon sailing off Antigua with the owners of two yachts from go-to Dutch designers Dykstra and Hoek, have a tour around legendary designer Malcolm McKeon’s new studio and cruise 107' Ribelle, one of his creations, as well as look back at one of Perini Navi’s big distinctive boats, Asahi – plus much, much more.
From Bermuda to the Bahamas, for TIDE’s seventh issue we are on an epic North Atlantic and Caribbean tour. We experience paradise islands not lost on the San Blas off Panama; the warmth of a family-owned island resort well run at Kamalame Cay; Barbuda’s finest views from a table at its beachside Nobu restaurant; and ‘mythical sea serpents’ up-close at the world’s first Sperm whale sanctuary off Dominica. We also learn more than ever about the latest eco-friendly Superyacht building technologies, after sitting down with the owners of three beautiful boats, including philanthropist Wendy Schmidt who shares the story of her mothership Elfje – plus much, much more.
For this issue, we go on an unforgettable exploration off British Columbia, where we witness whales, bears, sea eagles and much more. We also visit Baltic Yachts as they hit 50 years of innovation, interview its trail-blazing founder PG Johansson and profile new ‘Pocket Superyacht’, Open Season. We meet the people behind pioneering Superyacht sustainability group, FoundationZero, and eco-friendly private chef service, Cru. On land, we check in to family-owned hotel Les Regalia to explore Corsica, before discovering secret beaches and the very prettiest spots on Sardinia.
Everything that the Mediterranean summer brings is the focus of TIDE Number Five: we take in the iconic blue-and-white pastels of Greece, barefoot dolce vita living on the Italian island of Elba, plus local foodie secrets on Palma di Mallorca. We also welcome Alea, the Superyacht of the year, join Ghost off Antigua, another pivotal yacht for the Vitters’ yard, and look at Sea Eagle, the three-mastered schooner that has quietly been sailing the World’s oceans – plus much, much more.
ΑΓΑΠΩ το καλοκαιρι - Love Summer
A year after the first copy of TIDE hit the shelves, we delve deeper into the uncharted waters of the Arctic Circle, explore hidden coves in Montenegro and Croatia, and sample local dishes in French Polynesia. This issue is all about fresh approaches, as we return to Schooners and Ketches from a new angle, interview 11th Hour founder Wendy Schmidt, and hop aboard an ocean rescue helicopter with CalvinAir.
This issue, we sail around some hidden Caribbean gems, put our feet up at Dominica’s eco-obsessed Secret Bay Hotel, and chart a course around Costa Rica’s Pacific coastline. Before heading off in search of warmer climes, we also took a deep dive into the extraordinary history of the Schooner, and spoke with leading ocean environmentalist Charles Clover, as well as much more.
We delve into what the changing tide of the Superyacht lifestyle means – from eco interiors to semi-custom ‘Pocket Superyachts,’ ultra-luxe adventure charters to night diving for rock lobster off Antigua. In travel, we explore Saint Tropez’ lesser-known environs, Caribbean coral reefs gardens, and an epic voyage from Panama to the Pacific.
We explore Baltic’s Canova and travel from the Seychelles to Socorro. We tour the Azores, forage in the sea, talk work-life balance with Superyacht Chefs Nathan Clements & Pip Crowley, hear from Olympic sailing gold medallists Tuke and Burling about their mission to save the oceans, and discuss the merits of the Supersloop.
