HONG Kong based yacht company Asia Yachting is expanding its dealership and brokerage business to Philippine shores to give Filipinos a chance to experience its top-of-the-line products and services.
“With its more than 7,100 islands, beautiful waters, and warm weather, the Philippines is a haven for watersports as well as an exciting destination for sailing and yachting—comparable to other prime locations in the region and around the world,” said Olivier Besson, Asia Yachting chief executive officer.
Founded in 2007, Asia Yachting has established itself as a trusted brand in Asia, with services covering new boat ownership, brokerage and boat management. It has an extensive and diverse brand portfolio, from multi-functional boats and luxury mega-yachts, to specialized wakesurfing boats and jetboats, plus second-hand boats.
According to Bianca Jison, Asia Yachting Philippines sales director, their products fit every taste and budget.
“When it comes to new boats, we only offer vessels from world-famous shipyards from Italy, France and the United States that are functional, versatile and beautifully made. Our vast selection of used yachts from Hong Kong also offer excellent value for money as they are in generally well maintained with low engine hours, making them perfect for resorts or first-time owners.”
Asia Yachting aims to replicate its successful Hong Kong business model in the Philippines by setting up an advanced marine service center staffed by experienced maritime technicians and specialists whose focus is on preventative maintenance to ensure yachts’ excellent condition and functionality.
