The 40m Benetti superyacht Amoha is for sale. 

Koh Samui and the Gulf of Siam in Thailand have recently reported a steep increase in the amount of superyachts visiting the area this season. This area is one of the world’s newest destinations for superyacht cruising, and boasts a cruising season of 6 months. The rise in visitors demonstrates the ever increasing popularity of Asia to the maritime industry.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/151047/image/large-3db586bdbd33ce1ff2a3ddba0ccd71cd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/151047">Captain Charlie Dwyer of Asia Pacific Superyachts report that superyachts visiting Koh Samui and the Gulf this season include, the 55 metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/888" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Keri Lee III53.9m (176'10&quot;)">Keri Lee III;</a> the 51 metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1436" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Double Haven51.0m (167'4&quot;)">Double Haven,</a> custom built in 1993 by Feadship in the Netherlands; the 50 metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1528" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sapphire50.5m (165'8&quot;)">Sapphire</a>; the 39 metre luxury Sail yacht built by Custom in 1999 and designed by Joao Paquito and the 40 metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1973" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amoha40.3m (132'3&quot;)">Amoha</a>, custom built in 1991 by Benetti with interior designed by Zuretti, among others.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/151048/image/large-2bc6309f67ab548d7f4809bb88c8a2cd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/151048">The cruising season in the Gulf of Siam is reportedly very good from February to September. Captain Charlie adds, “One of the visiting yachts arrived in May and cruised the Gulf until the end of August. The vessel then continued the cruise on to Vietnam and Cambodia and this same yacht plans to visit Singapore before continuing their journey on to Phuket, Thailand in November 2014.”<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/151049/image/large-4a90b72a9176cdfe3ee61c7776690aac.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/151049">Though Koh Samui does not have an established superyacht marina at this time, visiting Superyacht captains report many safe anchorages which were acquired very simply. Commenting on all provisioning and services needs being met while in Koh Samui and the islands dotted throughout the Gulf, Captain Derek of Amoha wrote the following about his journey, “The wealth of local knowledge and experience from the APS Samui team has made our visit to Koh Samui and the Gulf of Thailand a memorable, hassle-free and enjoyable experience. Koh Samui and its surrounding islands are a great place for superyachts to visit and with your expertise it was an absolute pleasure.”Highlights of cruising in Thailand include world renowned diving, kayaking and trekking through the uninhabited islands of the Ang Thong National Marine Park, located 20 nm from Koh Samui.

Superyacht shipyard Expansion for Yacht Solutions 

Southeast Asia’s Yacht Solutions, has just secured a new superyacht refit facility in Bangkok Thailand. Responding to the need for more superyacht refit and repair facilities in the Asian region from both owners of superyachts based in Asia but also those travelling from Europe, Yacht Solutions has found the perfect site. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135546/image/large-ccc4396dff558b094cf76820a84cb107.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135546">This new facility was required to cater for alongside work and can take some of the largest yachts in the world. Its location, being in the vibrant city of Bangkok and only one hour from Bangkok international airport (the transiting hub of Southeast Asia) works because it is extremely appealing to owners, captains and crew. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135547/image/large-eda120e0f80b700ecaa488619ab7637e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135547">The facility (300 metres x 100 metres) comfortably caters for vessels up to 200 metres in length. The Yacht Solutions Bangkok facilities now boast a haul-out for a maximum of 85 metres and 1,500 tonnes as well as access to two 115 metre dry docks, alongside berthing, two floating docks up to 160m and 3000 tonnes lift capacity. Gareth Twist, the Managing Director of Yacht Solutions comments that “we have been in the marine refit and repair business in Thailand for 10 years and this seems the natural progression for our business. The superyacht industry in Asia is growing and recent trends show that there has been a year on year increase in the number of superyachts either in the region or transiting through the region and we are very keen to attract those vessels to our facility in Thailand for planned or emergency refits, repairs or conversion work”. Mr Twist adds that “we have a tremendous pool of talented craftsmen here in Thailand and our Yacht Solutions facility combines European management, standards and quality with the renowned finishing skills of Thai craftsmen. Our unique combination ensures international standards are maintained while owners receive exceptional value for money and service due to the efficiencies of operating out of Thailand. With this facility we are able to compete with the European yards but with the distinct advantage of a lower labour cost base”.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135548/image/large-a682cd539692b238a8bdcb49c41e1342.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133282">Yacht Solutions has successfully completed extensive refit projects on the 54-metre M/Y <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1402">Pegaso</a>, 40-metre M/Y <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1973">Amoha</a>, 35-metre M/Y <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3544">Nymphaea</a> and a 36-metre MY <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/215">White Rabbit Charlie</a>.Yacht Solutions Gareth Twist +66 76 239 114 <a href="mailto:gareth@yachtsolutions.net?subject=Yacht%20Solutions%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">gareth@yachtsolutions.net</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.yachtsolutions.net/">www.yachtsolutions.net</a>

Yacht Solutions secures new superyacht refit facility in Bangkok 

Yacht Solutions has teamed up with Scott Taylor to head up its paint division to ensure the firm meets increasing demand for world-class yacht detailing and finishing. The highly-experienced Mr. Taylor brings 25 years experience in yacht painting, fairing applications and project management to the company, having been employed by many of the world's leading firms such as Camper &amp; Nicolson, Devonport Yachts, VT shipyard UK and Royal Denship Denmark while working on well-known superyachts such as <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/301">Mirabella V</a>, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2299">Christianna B</a> and <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/218">Leander</a> during his career. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133282/image/large-88e98e1422e35e327cce8938b5802ac2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133282">Mr Taylor also recently completed a metallic paint project for a 105ft superyacht in southern Thailand with outstanding results and comes to Yacht Solutions from Marine Coatings. The high-profile working relationship is a further boost for Yacht Solutions' already highly skilled and experienced team and to a company very much in expansion mode having recently launched a superyacht new-build division called Ruea Yachts. Yacht Solutions Managing Director Gareth Twist said he was thrilled that Mr Taylor is now an integral part of the Yacht Solutions team. "More yachts are coming to Thailand for their paint solutions, thanks to the growth in the superyacht industry in Asia, and we are seeing an increase in yachts being re-fitted and repaired here. Yacht Solutions provides teams of highly experienced craftsman offering exceptional quality in finishing and superb value for money." Yacht Solutions is equipped to work with either Awlgrip or Hempel paint systems and Mr Taylor brings certificates in both these paint disciplines in application and technical management. Worldwide Business Development Manager for Hempel Mike Lister said that to get the very best and desired results when painting a superyacht is the combination of the applicator's skills, the working environment and using the best paint products. "Hempel have found that in Thailand, during the application of their superyacht paint system - ProSystem, the products have shown enhanced application characteristics, the weather conditions in Thailand make Hempel products easier to mix and apply and this is especially true of the ProFiller, and other advantages of course are reduced paint drying times," he said. Mr Taylor said that he was delighted to be working with a company clearly establishing itself as a leader in Asia. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133283/image/large-2aefda3cecaacb0fef14f605be2fe589.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133283">"To have the opportunity to team up with Yacht Solutions – a company that is paving the way for world-class standards in the region – is very exciting and I am looking forward to playing my role in contributing to their further growth and success," he said. Yacht Solutions has successfully completed exterior paint projects on the 54-metre M/Y <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1402">Pegaso</a>, 40-metre M/Y <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1973">Amoha</a>, 35-metre M/Y <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3544">Nymphaea</a> and is now in the final stages of completing a 60-metre superyacht in Bangkok – M/Y <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3574">Fox</a>. Teaming up with Mr Taylor, enhances Yacht Solutions' commitment to providing highly experienced hand-picked teams who are the very best in their specific trades, with extensive experience working on both private and commercial vessels. This dedication is further reinforced by working with European engineers and designers, in order to deliver the world-class standards in finishing for discerning clients.
