Returning from the Monaco Yacht Show 2024 Asia Pacific Superyachts (APS) attending directors & members reported keen interest in the Southeast Asia regions, interest that is growing rapidly in popularity among Superyacht Owners, Captains and industry professionals.
“Once again we found the Monaco Yacht Show brought excellent results to the APS team as we showcased Asia and its appeal”, says APS co-founder & director Gordon Fernandes. “APS was Platinum Sponsor of the Asia-Pacific Superyacht Association ‘Asia Superyacht Night ‘ at the Novotel, bringing together a varied host of industry players which was a huge success. It was great to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.”
In citing their involvement in the signature APSA event and as an exhibitor, APS co-founder Captain Charlie Dwyer says, “Our experienced yachting leaders, providing our clients with a superior level of service, brought new information to the show of the Asia Pacific region and shared a number of recent maritime changes, new marinas, and new cruising attractions in Asia.”
