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.

Meet our Platinum Members

Dear APSA Members and Friends,

While many of our members are in Palm Beach for the boat show, I am in Japan celebrating the start of Spring, along with the opening of the Japan International Boat Show. YACHTZOO and Creation Co Ltd, are here exhibiting at the show and so drop by to see us and we look forward to welcoming you. Based as I am between Monaco and Japan, it is here in Japan that the superyacht community will continue to grow in the future, especially with the new Superyacht Base Kobe which is now in development and will be able to accommodate any size yacht alongside, with stern to dockage for up to 80m.

Port Louis Marina recently hosted an incredible gathering of the highly esteemed Oyster World Rally 2025, with a total number of 21 yachts in the fleet this year, and circa 70 owners and crew onboard. Port Louis Marina in collaboration with the Victory Bar and the Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA), organised two fantastic drinks receptions to welcome the Oyster Yachts.

The Asia-Pacific Superyacht Summit organised by Superyacht Times will be held on 7 and 8 May 2025 in the Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View Hotel, with the aim of increasing the visibility of yachting in the region. The Simmit which is the second edition will focus on the development of Asia as a superyacht cruising destination and how to get more Asian clients interested in the construction, purchase, and charter of superyachts.

Global Marine Travel is sponsoring the Oasis Lounge at this year’s Palm Beach Yacht Show along with Dockwalk, Yacht Chandler’s, Derecktor Shipyard, Engineered Yacht Solutions and Shipyard Supply. The lounge gives captains and crew a casual spot away from the bustle of the show to have a drink and a bite to eat, and catch up with friends. This is the Palm Beach show debut for the lounge, which will be similar to the Oasis Lounge at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. From 2025, Dockwalk will also partner with GMT at the FLIBS lounge.
