Asia Pacific Superyachts (APS) will make its debut at this month’s Monaco Yacht Show (MYS). During the event, the leading Superyacht agency in Asia and Pacific regions will be showcasing the many benefits, private yachts and charter yachts facilities, as well as natural beauty of 17 Asia and Pacific cruising regions in 15 countries to Superyacht owners, captains, yachts management companies, as well as superyacht charter operators. APS will be on hand at Stand QH28 at MYS.
Bali Harbor
During the Show, APS will be sharing new and critical information in cruising, exploring new options and changing regulations for Superyachts and crew.
Scott Walker, a founding director of APS and various superyacht organizations while heading up Asia Pacific Superyachts Singapore, said: “Having sailed the waters of South East Asia for the past 20 years and with the continuous updating by my colleagues throughout the APS network, I and my colleagues are fully aware of the spectacular cruising grounds available to visiting Superyachts.”
Walker added: “With the overpopulation of yachts in the Med, many large yachts are also discovering the Asia Pacific region. They will require the same levels of support and infrastructure they have grown accustomed to elsewhere.”
Cruising Indonesia
This also contributes to the growth not only of visiting Superyachts, but of the Superyacht building and refit business in areas like Phuket, Thailand; Singapore; New Zealand and Langkawi, Malaysia. During the MYS, APS agents will discuss news like changing regulations in Thailand, and will share information of Superyacht cruising in the Andaman Islands, Borneo, Cambodia, Fiji, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Koh Samui (Thailand), Langkawi (Malaysia), Maldives, Myanmar, New Zealand, Philippines, Phuket (Thailand), Singapore, Seychelles, Sri Lanka and Tahiti, French Polynesia.
Walker said: “When comparing costs, level of service and increased Superyacht facilities and marinas, Asia Pacific cruising destinations come out ahead in all aspects. Add to this the intrigue and excitement of new cultural attractions, the world’s best marine cruising grounds, bio-diversity and natural beauty of the many regions, you have a hands-down winner for upcoming Superyacht journeys.”
“We will be showing superyacht voyage videos and sharing new itineraries and unique places to visit. Those interested can chat with agents from all APS covered areas and this personal interface will help those planning trips realise what we have to offer. These exchanges will also help us be even more aware of what we need to put in place to meet demands for the future and with governments in terms of regulation, planning and facilities”, reported Scott.
