Asia Superyacht Rendezvous 2012

Soon sun, sailing and socializing will reign as sponsors Feadship and Boat International Media join the Rendezvous in welcoming owners, captains, crew and invited guests from around the globe to the host venue, Kata Rocks in Phuket’s spectacular Kata Bay. It will be full steam ahead from the opening ‘Boat Hop’ with cocktails, where guests can get to know the different boats on an individual basis.

And what a line-up it is…ten jaw-dropping Superyachts will be anchored in Kata Bay including charter yacht Maid Marian 2, motor yacht Moonsand, M/Y Maverick and the 50m superyacht Sapphire. These stunning motor yachts are really a sight to behold; beautiful engineering mixed with elegant interiors make these vast yachts truly exquisite.

Six breathtaking sailing yachts join them: the magnificent sailing yacht Argo and the beautiful charter yacht Capricorn will join for the first time, as well as the dazzling S/Y Intrigue along with the stunning S/Y Schooner Sunshine – and the hosts are honoured to have the luxurious superyacht Yanneke Too, as well as the very powerful charter yacht Shamoun, returning to the prestigious event.

Activities over the 3 days include two days of friendly but competitive sailing races, ‘Feadship Challenge’ model boat-building & cocktail party, pirate treasure hunt and ending gala dinner. All participating yachts have also been offered a week’s free berthing at Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi. Just another one of the many reasons many stunning Superyachts continually choose to participate at the Asia Superyacht Rendezvous.
