Opening Asia To Superyachts

About Us

Asia-Pacific Superyacht Association (APSA) is the leading professional and regional yacht industry association for Asia; and the first ever cross-country association established in Asia.

Objectives:

  • We work to actively promote our members who are Asian yacht businesses and for worldwide yacht businesses that want to do business in Asia.
  • We promote the South, South East and Eastern Asia region to the global superyacht community as one of the world’s three main cruising regions.
  • This is achieved through collaborative promotional activities, sponsored social events and international yacht shows such as Monaco, Fort Lauderdale, Singapore and Thailand Yacht Show; and direct promotional activities year round to proactively connect our members with Captains and Owners.

Dear APSA Members and Friends,

July was a busy month for APSA members in Hong Kong, who met to discuss superyacht initiatives and ‘Marine Tourism’ developments being introduced by the Hong Kong Government. APSA is working in conjunction with the HKBIA, and will submit recommendations and provide expert knowledge, in the lead up to the Chief Executive’s 4th Policy address in September 2025, during the HK Government’s consultation period that runs from June to August.

The George Group is excited to announce the first edition of the new George Group Quarterly. This newsletter provides insights into the work the George Group does, along with helpful tips for managing the risks associated with yacht ownership. APSA members can access the newsletter as a flipbook here: The George Group Quarterly, Edition 1 and can also be found on the LinkedIn page: The George Group LinkedIn

Independent professional services group Praxis has further strengthened its yacht services team with the appointment of two specialist accountants, reflecting the evolving needs of superyacht owners who are seeking greater oversight and control of their financial affairs.
