Witness spectacles at the Thailand Yacht Show
PHUKET: The very first state-sponsored Thailand Yacht Show promises a whole lot of fun on the water, showcasing the latest luxury yachts available for charter and aquatic toys, plus the latest offerings from the region’s top boating industry specialists and suppliers at Ao Po Grand Marina today through February 14.
Additionally, there will be exhibitions and displays on the water, as well as parties and tours on board some of the world’s top yachts. Here are some of the highlights not to be missed.
MOTOR YACHT TITANIA
One of the largest motor yachts available in the Burgess fleet, the 73m M/Y Titania is ideal for fun family charter with two master suites, a massage room and beauty salon staffed with professional massage therapists and beauticians, a large Jacuzzi with swim-up bar and beach club style seating.
YACHT SALUZI
With five voluminous decks the Saluzi is the largest charter yacht based in Southeast Asia with a full range of on-board entertainment including an open-air cinema and pro dive center. Her shallow draft allows her into smaller coves where other yachts would struggle, making her ideal for exploring small islands.

MCY 70 BY MONTE CARLO YACHTS
Showcased by Simpson Marine, the MCY 70 designed by award-winning Nuvolari Lenard combines innovation and high-quality engineering with the classic elegance of teak, oak and grey sycamore trim and furnishings. Powerful twin MAN V8 1200 diesel engines give her a top speed of 32 knots.
PERSHING 92
With a top speed of 40 knots, the Pershing 92 from Lee Marine is the fastest fiberglass yacht of her size, perfectly combining speed and luxury with accommodation for eight guests and a crew of three plus a tender garage and various water toys.
PRINCESS YACHTS 72
