Opening Asia To Superyachts

About Us

Asia-Pacific Superyacht Association (APSA) is the leading professional and regional yacht industry association for Asia; and the first ever cross-country association established in Asia.

Objectives:

  • We work to actively promote our members who are Asian yacht businesses and for worldwide yacht businesses that want to do business in Asia.
  • We promote the South, South East and Eastern Asia region to the global superyacht community as one of the world’s three main cruising regions.
  • This is achieved through collaborative promotional activities, sponsored social events and international yacht shows such as Monaco, Fort Lauderdale, Singapore and Thailand Yacht Show; and direct promotional activities year round to proactively connect our members with Captains and Owners.

Dear APSA Members and Friends, There is plenty happening on the superyacht scene, with the European yacht shows 'season' about to start. APSA will be at both Cannes and Monaco, with Committee members Joe Yuen and Antony Cowie attending the Cannes Yachting Festival, and Committee members Christophe Ceard, Alex Teji, Gordon Fernandes and Antony Cowie in Monaco where they look forward to welcoming everyone to APSA’s signature event

Benetti returns to the Cannes Yachting Festival, held this year from September 10 to 15, where it will be showcasing the brand’s excellence with three models loved by customers all over the world. The spotlight will be on BO116, an Oasis 40m, on the Oasis 34m BO210 and on BMP002, a Motopanfilo 37m unit.

New Member: Island Sailor Maldives was incorporated in 2001 to provide services from the heart of the Indian Ocean. The yacht agency was created to help cruising sailors deal with the formalities when entering the Maldives and included travel arrangements, assistance for yacht chartering, surfing, diving, game fishing and inter-atoll sailing.

The mood throughout Asia Pacific and the superyacht industry has recently become very upbeat, with news of changing regulations favouring visiting yachts and new marinas on the way. Asia Pacific Superyachts (APS) directors and teams are excited to share significant changes in person at the Monaco Yacht Show APS Stand DS25 (in the air-con Darse Sud Tent) and at Asia-Pacific Superyacht Association’s exclusive invitation-only ‘Asia Superyacht Night’ (Monaco) held on the eve of the Monaco Yacht Show.
