Jersey Boat Spotting

[JerseyDiver]

A few visitors in Jersey at present.

A lovely shiny new SL ‘Match’. Anyone recognise her ?





BUT dwarfed by the awesome Bad
Company support boat and toys

Good boat spotting! I'll take walk by to look at Bad Company later. MATCH leaves for Swanwick (maintenance visit) tomorrow, first light. There's a nice x-channel weather window tomorrow. Will be back in Jersey after that.

Yes thanks. I was aware of this, I half expected BigPlumbs to claim ownership of the Damen BCS. Heard he owns more boats than JFM

It would be interesting to see the support ship plumps carrys his fleet on.
It must be larger.

I’ve alerted the Mayor and Gosport borough council who will no doubt arrange a welcoming committee.

KHM will be closing the harbour for your entrance I assume?

Unlikey KHM will shut Portsmouth Harbour for boat going to Swanwick

I don't know anything about the owner/company, but they produce a lot of content for YouTube and Instagram etc. You can check the links below for more information:

jfm, can I ask if your Starlink service plan is the Residential Roam option? If so, do you still have connection in the UK, or did they cut you off after relocating the boat? I follow a few liveaboard sailors outside of Europe and they seem to get cut off after a month or two of relocating, but I haven't heard about relocations in Europe.

Usually all the superyachts gravitate to Gosport.

Its the Monaco, Miami, Dubai, Gosport loop……

Many Superyachts built in Gosport 90 years ago.

Hi roa312 - I have Starlink Maritime so I don't know the answer to your question - I'm free to roam anywhere. I actually have it switched off for the winter (Nov - April) because it's a 4-figures cost each month. I will re-activate it in May when the sun comes out.

Boat is initially in Swanwick but I'll be in your neck of woods Henri in early April - I have lift out (antifoul/anodes etc) booked then at Endeavour Quay

He has a huge fleet, mostly built around self sufficient Big Game fishing all over the world.

Hi JFM, she looks beautiful also in a less sunny environment. Did you put her on a vessel to the north?
I looked out for the boat tour by Aquaholic but have not seen it yet. Did he eventually make the video in Cannes?

[jfm]

Hi Eric
Thanks. Yes she came up north on a ship.

Aquaholic has not done a video yet - we could not make timings work in Cannes (my boat arrived late; he departed early!) , but he will do one soon, maybe at Swanwick in May 2025.

We are coming out just round the corner at Victoria Quay around the same time. I’m actually sailing from Barcelona to Monaco mid April onwards on a slightly bigger ship with a couple of friends. If you need somewhere to stay in Gosport message me, we have a little flat which overlooks Portsmouth harbour and the wider Solent.
