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.

Horizon Yachts proudly announces a major milestone with the arrival of FD80 Hull 15, the first FD80 to enter the European market, set to premiere at the Cannes and Monaco Yacht Shows later this year. Celebrating the custom FD80 signature interior styling by Cor D. Rover, this motoryacht showcases a high-volume, soft minimalist interior that blends elegant materials and thoughtful layouts to create a serene and sophisticated onboard experience.

We live in an increasingly complex and often unpredictable world, one that puts businesses under growing pressure to protect their people, especially those who are on the move constantly. This is where crisis management companies step in to identify potential threats, analyse vulnerabilities, and develop comprehensive protocols to prepare for, respond to, and recover from incidents that can impact operations, assets, and most importantly, human lives.

Superyacht cruising in Asia-Pacific has enormous growth potential when compared with the Mediterranean or the Caribbean. Unlike the usual superyacht playgrounds of summer Med cruising and the Caribbean in the winter, the sailing season in Asia Pacific is year-round with more yachts coming eastward to lengthen their charter season and enjoy the region’s amazing cruising grounds   and unique cultural experiences.

Gulf Craft has recently opened a purpose-built inhouse Yacht Manufacturing Training Centre at its Umm Al Quwain shipyard. The facility will provide more than 3,000 training hours a year, up-skilling new recruits and experienced staff across the Majesty, Nomad, Oryx and SilverCAT brands. Covering 200 sq m (2,153 sq ft), the centre accommodates 30 trainees a week – about 350 graduates a year – and includes a fully equipped classroom, six specialist workshops and three CAD labs that mirror production-line technology.
