Yacht agency and services company Pesto Sea Group has launched Pesto Sea Group South Africa to offer visiting yachts and the growing local fleet full service high-standard support operations needed.

Pesto Sea Group has been an established yacht and maritime services company in the Mediterranean for 50 years, operating from its base in Genoa, Italy.

Now, Pesto Sea Group South Africa says it aims to translate that experience into the South African yacht and superyacht sector.

The venture is established with FemoBunker as a partner, a globally active specialist in yacht fuel supply, to offer reliable, world-class bunkering services – available to the new branch immediately.

“We see immense, untapped potential along Africa’s coastlines,” said Fabio Pesto, chairman and CEO of Pesto Sea Group.

“We didn’t come here to simply replicate a European model. We are here because we believe in this market. By partnering with individuals who have a deep, practical knowledge of the local context, we can offer the reliable, high-quality assistance superyachts require, tailored precisely to the conditions here.”
