PSP Logistics delivers 40M Sunseeker Yacht PRINCESS K to Dubai Boat Show 2013 on time

March 15, 2013

The world renowned boat transportation specialist, PSP Logistics, has delivered the 40m Sunseeker yacht Princess K to the 2013 Dubai International Boat Show on time. PSP, title sponsor of the PSP Southampton Boat Show, loaded the Sunseeker motor yacht Princess K onto transportation vessel ‘Palembang’ at Southampton Docks on February 7.

The 189,000-kilo Sunseeker 40M superyacht Princess K was skippered from the Sunseeker factory in Poole to Southampton Docks, where it was moored alongside ‘Palembang’ ready to be loaded.

PSP’s specially designed 45 metre cradle was positioned on the deck of the Palembang in readiness to accept the precious cargo. Palembang is equipped with substantial lifting equipment and this was rigged by the ship’s crew and PSP’s loadmaster and lowered into the water to accept the Sunseeker yacht Princess K.

Divers checked the positioning of the lifting strops under the yacht, which has a beam of around eight metres. The ship’s cranes then worked together to perform a tandem lift from the water to PSP’s cradle on the deck.

PSP then oversaw the Princess K yacht’s transportation to Port of Jebel Ali in Dubai, where she was unloaded by the PSP Worldwide Boat Transportation alliance’s members in the country. From there, she was motored to the Dubai International Boat Show ready to be displayed to the public.

Interestingly, the superyacht Princess K was loaded and unloaded on the same day that the firm loaded and unloaded a 230-tonne workboat, showing the breadth of PSP’s service across leisure and commercial.

Frank Dixie, Managing Director of PSP, said: “In January we announced how PSP is moving higher volumes and bigger models of leisure boats and this latest project is evidence of that.

“Specialising in heavy lift leisure boat transportation has always been a logical next step for us and we are only expecting this side of our business to grow in coming years.”

Singapore Yacht Show 2013 to offer the latest, greatest and best from yachting and luxury worlds

March 12, 2013

This year’s edition of the Singapore Yacht Show is gearing up to be a must-see event, that will exhibit the latest, greatest and best that the yachting as well as luxury worlds have to offer. Whether a visitor is a novice to yachting, or has been boating all his life, there really will be something for everybody at the event.

Singapore Yacht Show 2012

Held on 18 – 21 April the Show is set at the ONE°15 Marina Club in Sentosa Cove. These beautiful surroundings, in the heart of Singapore’s yachting hub, offer the perfect setting to enjoy the world of luxury yachting.

For those looking to explore the idea of owning a yacht, why not consider a charter on a yacht to really get a feel for what the world of superyachts entails? Charter is well established as the best introduction to yachting and as an entry point to ownership. A meeting with one of the Show’s exhibiting brokers should be one’s first point of call if he is considering charter or buying a yacht of his own.

Choosing the right type of yacht – for purchase or charter
Whether for charter or purchase, a key point of consideration is whether to go for a sailing yacht or a motoryacht. Sailing yachts are growing in numbers, but motoryachts are still the most popular option. When making a decision there are lots of points to consider: motoryachts make for a spacious entertainment platform, with plenty of speed and power, whereas sailing yachts appeal more to those looking for a purer form of yachting, with a wide range and peaceful cruising. Size is another choice, and every type of boat is catered for at the Show, whether it is a smaller day boat for coastal cruising or a superyacht.

Options for design and style are endless, and the Show offers a range of the world’s best builders and designers able to advise on the best yacht to suit one’s lifestyle. Big names like Sunseeker, one of Asia’s most popular yachting brands, will be exhibiting along with other popular builders including Princess Yachts, Westport and Palmer Johnson.

Premium Nautical is a first time exhibitor to the Singapore Yacht Show and will be able to speak with guests about the eight luxury boat brands they represent in Singapore. As with many of the exhibitors, they have diverse experience in sailing boats, catamarans, motor boats and yachts as well as brokerage services for those selling a boat in preparation for their new vessel.

The jewel in the crown’s fleet
With an impressive fleet of yachts on display at the Show there will be plenty of options for visitors to look at as food for thought. The jewel in the fleet’s crown is the spectacular 57.5m sailing yacht Twizzle, built by Dutch yard Royal Huisman in 2010. As one of the biggest yachts registered to exhibit so far, Twizzle is not to be missed and is sure to turn heads. Available for charter around Asia, she could be the perfect option for those considering charter for the first time.

Of course, there is plenty on offer for those who are well established in yachting as well. Whether one is considering a new purchase or an upgrade, or just wants to discuss the latest designs and innovations or speak with the industry’s leading players, the event should be firmly in his diary.

Partnering this yachting spectacular is a complimentary range of bespoke products including private jets, jewellery, art and high-end properties. Together they offer an unsurpassed showcase of the world of luxury.

Singapore Yacht Show 2013 to feature top yacht brands

February 21, 2013

With less than two months to go, the Singapore Yacht Show 2013 continues to grow at a phenomenal rate. At already twice the size of the 2012 show, more and more market top companies are signing up to attend the show, running at ONEo15 Marina Club, Sentosa Cove.

Singapore Yacht Show 2012

Speaking to media at the show’s partner hotel, W Singapore–Sentosa Cove today (Thursday, February 21), Andy Treadwell, Managing Director of Singapore Yacht Events, unveiled a number of the yachts and boats that visitors can expect to see at the April gathering, and revealed why he believes Singapore Yacht Show is playing a significant part in positioning Singapore as a true “Monaco of the East”.

Set to run for four full days this year, from April 18 – 21, the 2013 show will welcome the award-winning 58m sailing yacht Twizzle, designed by Ed Dubois and built by Royal Huisman in Holland, making her international boat show debut at the Singapore Yacht Show.

British builder Sunseeker will be exhibiting some of its world-leading range of production yachts for the first time, including their 40m flagship motor yacht Tanvas, built specially for an Asian client in 2010, alongside a newly-launched 20m model.

Another hugely popular British brand joining the lineup for the first time this year is Princess Yachts, part of LVMH’s luxury brand portfolio, who will be exhibiting no less than seven vessels at Singapore Yacht Show.

They join other world-renowned builders such as Riva, Fairline, Grand Banks, Hanse Yachts, Sealine, Cranchi and the stunningly innovative Wider Yachts will be on display for those looking to explore their coastline by day-boat.

At the superyacht end, Palmer Johnson, Benetti, Royal Huisman, Westport, Kingship, Azimut, Aycer Yacht and Gulf Craft will all be represented, while leading local dealers and brokers such as Simpson Marine, Luxury Yachts, Premium Nautical and SG Boating will all be participating, with many more exciting announcements to follow shortly.

Now heading into its third year, the show is achieving what it was always asked to deliver – an event with the vibrancy, quality and reputation of the world’s best marine shows, providing a genuinely meaningful marketing platform for the international industry in Singapore. It is the true gateway to the Asian market.

The organisers have added plenty of complementary lifestyle elements to the bill, too. Private aircraft manufacturer Embraer joins the list of exhibitors in the Luxury Pavilion, alongside BMW M-Cars and Lamborghini, and leading contemporary fine art galleries. International realtors iProperty, will also be presenting their showcase of regional high-end properties, and international fashion houses, live bands and a world-famous nightclub will be presenting live shows during the social events.

The Singapore Yacht Show will also this year sit alongside two business-to-business conferences held on April 16 and 17; the annual Asia Pacific Superyacht Conference, and the inaugural Singapore Private Aircraft Conference & Expo (SPACE). In addition, a forum for the international luxury industry, entitled Luxury Keynotes – Understanding Wealth in Asia, is being co-organised on Friday 19th April with event partners Robb Report magazine.

Undisputedly, the Singapore Yacht Show 2013 will be the region’s premier lifestyle event, set in a magnificent location. Conveniently held at ONE°15 Marina Club, the show lends itself perfectly to sunset cocktails and uber-stylish waterside dining at the club and at all the neighbouring bars and restaurants lining the show on Quayside Isle.

Mr Treadwell says the opening of Quayside Isle and the eagerly-anticipated W Singapore – Sentosa Cove, “really completes the visitor experience of the show, offering the perfect stopover to absorb the sights and sounds in style”.

The Singapore Yacht Show has grown to become a yachting event that rivals some of the most important boat shows in the world, thanks to the support of the local yachting and boating industry and the Show’s sponsors and partners.  In terms of the significance of the event, and the quality of its exhibitors, there is little doubt that the Singapore Yacht Show is playing a very significant part in positioning Singapore as the South East Asia business hub for the international yachting and boating industry.

Singapore Yacht Show 2013 opening hours:
Thursday April 18: 1 – 6pm
Friday April 19 – Sunday April 21: 2 – 8pm
