Yachting Partners International (YPI) will have the beautiful 33.5m Shamoun on display. Designed by the renowned Andre Hoek of Hoek Design, this Dutch-built cutter-rigged classic sloop is available for charter in South East Asia. Built in 1999, she can host 8 guests in 4 cabins and has a timeless interior. Her design combines all the best elements of the classic yachts of old, and the modern comforts and performance of today.
As a popular charter vessel, Shamoun is a perfect example of a yacht to enjoy seeing the sights of Asia from. Ideal for on-water adventures and exploration, she has a wide array of water toys, including diving gear for 8 people with an onboard compressor. She also boasts a range under engine of 3,100 nautical miles, backups for all vital systems on-board, and a large three stage walk-in freezer and fridge for charter operations. “We want to encourage more of our charter clients to make their yachts more available in Asia,” said Russell Crump, YPI Director of Sales. “Asia holds a treasure trove of locations begging to be explored on charter.”
YPI already has a strong presence in the Asian market with their YPI and BRS Asia divisions, and sees the Show as the perfect showcase for Shamoun. “YPI has always had the pleasure of working with Asian clients for charter, brokerage and management", said Mark Duncan, Group Marketing Manager. “We believe the Singapore Yacht Show has many of the ingredients needed to properly promote superyachts and superyachting in that region both locally and worldwide.”
