Welcome to the July / August 2025 edition of The Islander. While our readership predominantly consists of yachting professionals, expats in Spain and internationally minded locals, this issue is picked up by many visitors as well. We know we attract the type of visitors that are good to the islands. People that travel in style, seek tranquility, luxury and of course the charm of Spanish culture. Many of them dream of moving here or at least to own a second property here. We know this because our email list and traffic on www.theislander.online sees a growth spurt in these high season months. 

The Islander gives Mallorca lovers an insight into what expat life has to offer and we look forward to welcoming newcomers to our community. 

This issue is also filled with yachting news. Not only the stuff of dreams but also the matters that affect the crews running them and the ocean waters they sail on. 

You’ll also find the last reports of the 12,720Nm delivery my family and I completed from Mallorca to Fiji in the first 5 months of the year. It was the adventure of a lifetime and I hope it inspires you to make bold decisions and live life to the fullest today! Modern communication technologies are there to be used to your advantage and enhancement of your freedom. The key is of course to be in control of your mobile device and not the other way around.

So for now, I hope you enjoy a good read offline or online in The Islander Magazine’s summer edition.
