At the Phuket boat show, Simpson Marine had its multihull Lagoons and Azimut motor yachts on a linked walkway to the second pontoon row, which held an eclectic range of brokerage boats, from the show's largest, the remarkable 102' Blosson by the Asilleros Astonda yard, to two 60-70 feet explorer designs including Nordhavn offered by Northrop & Johnson's local reps, to a large air-conditioned Turkish gullet called Capricorn that Asia Marine sensibly suggests for regional roaming charters. Another broker, Hakan Lange of Delrani, pulled out, and Ferretti again had easily the largest display in an otherwise fairly sparse standing hall.
Staunch supporters of the Dubai Boat Show, Westport, greeted visitors from a prime position and many other leading yards like MondoMarine, Admiral Tecnomar and the Ferretti Group continued their support of the show. It is a tragedy that their loyalty is not rewarded through better marketing and service from organizers.
The Yacht Havan, principal marina for superyachts in Phuket, handled more than 50 regional and international big boats during the six-month high season ending in April, long-time marina managers Nick Wyatt and Zara Tremlett told Invictis. "And yet we still had to turn a few away", said Wyatt. "We have freed up some speace with the new 100' berths, but more urgently needed, so there are plans to extend pontoons out from the SE corner.
At the Hainan Rendez-Vouz bot show, a formidable 130 vessels of various lengths and models were still shown at Visun Royal Yacht Club in Sanya, at 18 degree North of China's southern-most city, on this very large island in the tropics that is often dubbed as "Oriental Hawaii", or alternatively for Europeans, "China's Riviera".
An anvil sun and temperatures in the mid 30's tested exibitors and visitors alike at the 10th Phuket Boat Show in Thailand, opening the Asian season, which nowadays sees myriad events mostly clustered in March-April an October-November.
A Po Grand Marina on Phukat, a more recent facility quite near The Yacht Haven, took up some of the superyacht slack by accommodating august visitors such as the recently launched 187' Royal Huisman Derick Van Deventer told us Ao Po, although, still lacking a mooted breakwater, also has ambitious plans to increase its berthing capability, build a yacht club, and erect villas ashore. As the 50 per cent shareholder in this project, is Ital-Thai, one of Thailand's largest developers, there seems every chance that the plans will become a reality by next season.
Despite the efforts of the organizers of the Dubai Boat Show, who's turnover of staff provides very little continuity or interaction with the local industry, the atmosphere at the 21st edition of the Dubai International Boat Show was relatively upbeat.
Hainan REndez-vouz's Delphine has a contract that expires net year, and since she started as Visun Royal Yacht Club in 2009, four more marinas have sprung up on Sanya's Serenity Coast, as have a phalan of five-star hotels. She has plans for further events in Hainan an other parts of China.
