As the membership of APSA increases, the Association can speak with an ever stronger and more united voice.

ICOMIA President, Darren Vaux, who gave an inspiring keynote address at the SEA Yachting Conference 2023 in Singapore, noted that the leisure boating industry globally boomed during the pandemic. He said that when the industry wanes, it needs to find new markets; Asia is high on the list with its truly wonderful destinations and a high concentration of HNWIs.

The Asia-Pacific has an increasingly important role to play in the global superyacht industry. Its mature infrastructure is now seeing a growing stream of superyachts visiting the region. The return of regional boat shows and events this will help to strength our industry. APSA looks forward to being involved with, and supporting, the superyacht community and the new initiatives taking place in the region. APSA values each and every one of our members for their contribution and thank you again for your continued support.
