At the Monaco Yacht Show, connections transcend geography. Beneath the glittering skyline of Port Hercule, where luxury and innovation converge, two women stand at the intersection of heritage and progress — shaping the future of yachting across continents.
Veronica Grandi, Chief Marketing Manager at Acquera Yachting, brings the precision of Venetian tradition to a network that spans the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and the Middle East. Founded on the principle of bridging yachts with destinations, Acquera Yachting’s strength lies in its local knowledge — an understanding that excellence at sea depends on expertise ashore.
“Acquera works as a bridge between the yacht and the territory. Our agents bring the excellence of the destination directly to the yacht — combining yachting expertise with deep local insight.”
With headquarters in Venice and major offices in St. Maarten and Dubai, the company’s reach reflects a clear philosophy: success in the superyacht world depends on connection. Whether assisting captains through complex port logistics or curating bespoke cultural experiences, Acquera Yachting transforms the operational into the extraordinary — making every arrival feel like home.
Across the Atlantic, Keidy Gregorio, Office Manager at the Yacht Club Port de Plaisance in St. Maarten, represents the same spirit of excellence from a distinctly Caribbean vantage point. Her marina, renowned for its dual-side configuration and 110 slips, accommodates yachts up to 290 feet — offering a full suite of services from customs clearance and fueling to provisioning and yacht care.
“We welcome vessels of every size — from 20 feet to nearly 100 meters. Our goal is simple: to make every captain’s experience seamless from the moment they arrive.”
For Gregorio, the Caribbean is not merely a winter playground for yachts but a vital hub in the global maritime network. The Yacht Club Port de Plaisance serves as both a logistical gateway and a social nucleus — a marina where professional precision meets island warmth.
These two leaders embody the collaborative essence of the Monaco Yacht Show itself: a global meeting point where East meets West, heritage meets innovation, and relationships forged under the Riviera sun ripple across oceans.
“Yachting excellence doesn’t happen in isolation — it’s the product of shared knowledge, trust, and passion that extend far beyond the docks.”
Their stories remind us that the world of superyachts is, at its heart, a community built on connection — where Venice’s timeless waterways and St. Maarten’s turquoise harbors reflect the same dedication to service, craft, and the art of hospitality.
