Introduction
A
ll of us will remember our early days at sea... discovering new places... heading out on that first ocean passage as a Captain - with full responsibility for the vessel, her systems and her crew. Before we make ‘landfall’ in any new port, one would always have the same two things to consider... a job list and a time schedule.
This need for a ‘database’ of reliable service contacts is something that stays with us. So, this was the very ‘raison d’être’ for the Superyacht Services Guides back in 2002... to collate an ‘Inside Guide’ of Captains and crews own ‘Recommended Services’, for others to be able to access, in order to share the benefits of each other’s collective experience.
The challenge comes in a new region... who to use!?
Every year, we interview and receive services feedback (usually good, though negative on occasions also!) and recommendations from Captains and crew throughout the year. These comments really do get listened to and ‘actioned’ accordingly by us... for in just the same way that we have researched / followed up new recommendations, we have also dropped services from last year, after receiving consistently poor feedback for them.
We often quiz fellow Captains & Crew, to find out who they recommend – for their experience and insight... ‘did the service actually do what they said they would, keeping to the time frame and cost?’ With online searches, forums and groups, there’s no end to accessing information, we are often spoilt for choice! So now more than ever, who is reputable and good, who offers the better service – WHO DO WE TRUST?
Recommended Services… As a ‘Captain’s Recommended Service’ they receive a free basic listing in the Guide and are offered the opportunity to advertise / promote their service further, both in our printed Guides and online. It is important for Captains to understand the concept behind the advertising; for without it, there simply would be no book! As this is a relatively small specialist niche market, book sales alone could never support the cost of researching and publishing such a Guide.
Over time, Captains and crew slowly acquire their own database of reliable service contacts: these quality contacts represent part of our ability to perform roles on board. We all know where the ‘buck stops’ as Captain on a charter or owner’s cruise, when the generator goes down... or when the guest’s specially requested provisions don’t arrive in time!

This book is simply ‘your inside’ Guide... Over the past 18 years our regional Guides and comprehensive online database have really proved themselves as incredibly useful points of reference, often on the Bridge or in the crew mess, full of ‘stickies’ and folds, marking certain pages and services!

There is a useful ‘Superyacht Events Calendar’ for the region (p12-15) & Events Leading up to the America’s Cup 2021 in Auckland (p220/221). For Captains and crew needing information for other areas: we have a total of six Superyacht Services Guides - to The Mediterranean & Northern Europe in two Volumes, The Caribbean in two volumes, East Coast U.S.A, and this Pacific, Asia & Middle East Guide. All available as digital flip books or to buy through our website.
Our website, www.superyachtservices.com, lists well over 10,000 Captains Recommended Services worldwide and is a unique database to search for services, or peruse a region/country… seeing what services are available in each destination.
Finally, a very special ‘thank you’ to our hard working adventurous SSG team, whom you may meet at Boat Shows or Regattas worldwide – our designer Simon Udal for his diligent commitment, superb graphic design skills and patience, and to our Admin/Webmaster team who do alot of work behind the scenes... you are all truly appreciated. Andrew would be proud!
With the Olympics in Japan in late 2020, and New Zealand hosting the 36th America’s Cup in Auckland in 2021, the cruising grounds of the South Pacific and SE Asia are seeing an increase in visitors, with some excellent refit and repair yards offering superb quality workmanship and facilities. We just hope that at the time of going to print, the coronavirus epidemic settles.
Keep well, stay safe and fair winds to you all.
This 2020/21 Pacific, Asia & Middle East Guide covers a vast region, laid out chapter by chapter geographically: starting with Panama & Central America, West Coast USA, the Pacific North West & Alaska, Chile, the exotic Pacific Ocean Islands to New Zealand & Australia, through the myriad of Islands and country destinations of South East & North Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Middle East & Red Sea to the Gulf of Suez.
Respect this precious world of ours, ‘Leave only footprints in the sand’.

Caroline Blatter Publisher & Director, Superyacht Publications Email: caroline@superyachtpublications.com Website: www.superyachtservicesguide.com
By reading through the introductory page of individual chapters, you will find out a little more on each location. Whilst the main Superyacht ‘base’ ports have more extensive listings of services available, off the beaten track locations generally have one ‘Yacht Services’ contact, who can be your main ‘port of call’ for everything you might need!

Authors Profiles To get in touch with us, please contact us by email: info@superyachtpublications.com or through www.superyachtservicesguide.com With their collective professional experience in the marine industry, and their knowledge of this region, Clare, Zara, Marieke, Bert & Caroline are able to create an authoritative insight into the best Superyacht Services available in the Pacific, Asia & the Middle East.
Clare Sudlow Author New Zealand, Pacific Islands claresuperyachtguide@gmail.com With an RYA Yachtmaster Offshore certification and CordonBleu diploma, Clare found employment in the Superyacht industry at an early age. Crewing aboard both motor and sail boats she gained wide experience in various different roles... as Deckhand aboard a 65' ketch; Mate aboard an 80' classic; Stewardess aboard a 180' motor yacht, and Chef aboard the very first Superyacht to carry a helicopter on her upper deck! In 2004 she joined the Superyacht Publications team to carry out research for the first edition of the Superyacht Services Guide to the Mediterranean before moving on to the Caribbean Guide. As well as researching and writing for the Caribbean Guides, Clare has been instrumental in developing the Pacific, Asia & Middle East Guide – at the request of yacht captains and services further afield, to be included in a Pacific Regional Guide! She looks after the Pacific Islands and New Zealand with annual visits to Auckland and outlying Pacific Islands, where she carries out substantial research for this region, enjoying having services recommended that are off the beaten track! In this ever developing industry, Clare is extremely knowledgeable, personable and well respected to research and represent these areas in our Guides.
Marieke Derks Author Australia, Asia, Indian Ocean and Middle East marieke@superyachtpublications.com Amsterdam born Marieke grew up on the shores of the North Sea learning sailing at a young age from her father, a sea pilot. Her studies and professional career followed a path through educational technology, business development and marketing. In 2002 she fell in love with Thailand and Myanmar, moving to Southeast Asia with her partner Bert van Muylwijk, and worked as dive instructor and charter / delivery captain for several seasons. She now combines her three passions (marketing, yachting and love for Asia Pacific destinations) by consulting yachting companies on internet marketing & sales. She is an agent for Sevenstar Yacht Transport since 2013, initiated the annual Sail Thailand cruising rally, consulted governments on marine tourism development and co-produced the 2017 Asia Pacific Superyacht Conference. Marieke firmly believes in collaboration, providing value and in social responsibility. As part of the SSG team, she is determined to help put Asia Pacific on the global superyacht map in a sustainable way.

Zara Tremlett Author Australia, Asia, Indian Ocean and Middle East zara@superyachtpublications.com Born in Sydney but raised mainly in the UK, Sailing became part of Zara’s life after “hitching” a ride on a cruising yacht from Australia to Thailand, where she met her partner Nick Wyatt. Since then they have worked in the Med & Caribbean on various yachts, setting up Harbour Village Marina in Bonaire. Adventure followed when they then crossed the Pacific on their 32ft Phillip Rhodes, “Patience”. From 2002 until 2016, Zara & Nick managed Phuket Yacht Haven Marina, Thailand. Over the years, various stages of marina and shore-side development were achieved along with seeing major country and marine industry transformation. In 2016, Zara became the first female in SE Asia to attain her international Certified Marina Manager status and following Nick’s retirement, took on the marina management alone. She has been the secretary of the Thai Marina Business Association and remains actively involved. Zara has recently moved on from Yacht Haven, hence her time to work with SSG – a project she has taken on heart and soul!
Bert van Muylwijk Author Australia, Asia, Indian Ocean and Middle East bert@superyachtpublications.com Born in an area without navigable waters the first thing Bert did when going to University in Amsterdam was learn how to sail. The yachting virus never left him! It was destiny that years later he met Marieke Derks with that similar passion. Another passion they shared was marketing. Together they set up a marketing company and decided after 8 years to successfully sell the company and started traveling to other and exciting parts of the world. Eventually they found home in Asia where Bert worked in various capacities. Dive instructor, web developer, charter captain, charter marketing and yacht broker. All of which had nothing to do with his psychology study. Now he moved on to the exciting world of superyachts and the promotion of Asia Pacific as an unmatched and diverse cruising destination. The Superyacht Services Guide is an excellent way to show owner, captains and crew what our region has to offer.
Caroline Blatter Director & Editor Superyacht Services Guide caroline@superyachtpublications.com Born and educated in Argentina, Belgium and England, Caroline learnt to adapt to an often-changing environment, developing a passion for languages, travel and embracing other cultures. She trained as a Physiotherapist, working in hospitals in England and Australia. She is also qualified to teach children with learning difficulties, working in the international schools in Mallorca whilst based there for several years. Having fallen in love with a sailor, Caroline joined Andrew working as professional crew on several yachts and a new build in the Med and Caribbean, before combining a love of the sea, boats, a family and work, to live on their own boat with a growing young family for 6 years! Home has been Palma, then Antigua for 11 years, and now England. Having set up Superyacht Publications with Andrew in 2002, Caroline now manages the business, and writes / edits for all the Guides with the dynamic SSG team. She loves the outdoors / sport, humanitarian / voluntary work and travel when time permits, as well as family life with four children!

Panama, the gateway to the Pacific Ocean.....
T
he early months of the Caribbean yachting season always see a number of boats transiting westward through the Panama Canal and beginning their long passages out to the beautiful cruising grounds of the Pacific Ocean. Never more so than in 2020/21 with the exciting lure of the Olympics in Japan and the America's Cup in New Zealand - with multiple events organised in the Pacific for the coming year ahead. Some may sail northwards traversing Cost Rica, Mexico and the west coast of North America, other adventurous sailors may head south to cruise the stunning Chilean Fjords and Easter Island. It is a time of dedicated preparation and planning for any Captain and Crew. For ‘First Timers’ to the Panama Canal, it is always an exhilarating prospect, charting new territories and adventures through this ‘8th Wonder of the World’ and beyond to Panama City and the azure ocean destinations of the Pacific Islands. We continue to receive plenty of input from yacht crews who are kind enough to give us first hand professional feedback of their experiences, and recommendations for selected service providers and yacht services agents in these areas. Please continue to send us feedback, we are extremely grateful!

ransiting the Panama Canal is always an exhilarating prospect - charting new territory and culture through this ‘8th wonder of the world’ and beyond to Panama City and the azure ocean destinations of the Pacific Islands or northwards to the Caribbean. This is also a time of dedicated preparation and planning for any Captain and his crew; particularly for ‘First Timers’ to a Panama Canal transit. The success of a yacht’s Panama itinerary relies heavily on selecting ‘the right’ yacht agent for all the necessary paperwork, arrangements for pilotage, permits, transit bookings, line handlers and warpage as required… all of which need to be pre-booked in advance. Beyond this, the Panama region itself is a little known fascinating cruising ground and in this chapter you will find a further choice of ‘Yacht Services’, and companies offering tours and excursions, a choice of marinas, great restaurants and a host of available activities in and around the cosmopolitan Panama City. We continue to receive plenty of input from yacht crew who are kind enough to give us firsthand professional feedback of their experiences, and recommendations for selected service providers and yacht services agents. The result being the following recommended short list of Captains ‘tried and tested’ proven contacts...

Pearl Island Resort Pearl Island is a serene Pacific island that is being sensitively transformed into a luxurious 5-star sustainable hideaway. One of the few remaining untouched havens on Earth, Pearl Island offers the chance to live a perfect private island existence complemented by a wide range of fully managed services and activities right next to booming Panama City. Committed to delivering low-density, premium luxury, sustainable real estate and leisure development, the developers are creating a genuinely unique project that is quickly becoming a reference point for Island destinations across the Pacific. Just an hour by boat, or twenty minutes by air from Panama City, Pearl Island offers 30 kilometers of unspoiled coastline, with 14 private sandy beaches and representing probably the largest luxury private island development in Central America.
Boasting beach club facilities, a spa, kids club, a private landing strip and a 46-slip, world-class marina, which accommodates boats of up to 300 feet, Pearl Island has something to satisfy each owner‘s dream.
70% of this historic 5,000-year-old island will remain untouched as a natural reserve, abundant in rich flora and fauna. Pearl Island is also home to an array of treasured species including humpback whales, dolphins, pelicans, parrots, over 700 species of tropical fish, turtles and a rare kind of iguana.
Pearl Island will be home of the next Ritz-Carlton Reserve, which is currently under construction. Add to this, the “Viking Enclave” Fishing Lodge – one of the finest and most exclusive Fishing Lodges in the World, developed in collaboration with Viking Yachts.
A select number of beautifully positioned home sites, cliff-top ocean-front villas and a limited number of smaller condominiums are now offered for sale within a handful of thoughtfully designed neighborhoods in the initial Founders’ Phase of the Development.

SHORESIDE ACTIVITIES / TOURS Panama is so rich with flora and fauna that a guide is almost essential to ensure visitors spot the many rare and exotic species in the jungles and learn the fascinating, “In-depth”, history surrounding the engineering and construction of the Panama Canal. Shelter Bay Marina offers a unique service by arranging for a highly knowledgeable scientist (from the Smithsonian Institute) to travel on board the yacht as a guide or alternatively, to guide a land based tour.
Fort San Lorenzo (Colon) Fort San Lorenzo, located about 8 miles to the West of Colon, lies alongside the now abandoned town of Chagres which was once the main Atlantic port on the Isthmus of Panama. The Fort guarded both the town and the entrance to the Chagres River. The wellpreserved ruins of the Fort are just a short drive through the rainforest from Shelter Bay Marina, and the site is well maintained with information boards to help guide visitors through the grounds. The surrounding jungle is vibrant and alive with bird & animal life!

nce free and clear of the last locks of the Panama Canal, as yachts head towards the setting sun, they will either be sailing out into the wild blue yonder of the Pacific Ocean, and the lure of tropical islands and atolls of Polynesia; or turning right to head up the West Coast of Central & North America, maybe reaching the less frequented cruising grounds of south east Alaska & the inside passage. Planning is crucial for this coastline: with weather routing confirmed for safe passage making and tanks full and ready to go; with paperwork logistics and entry requirements organised for the Central American countries, so a good yacht services contact is vital! Costa Rica’s Pacific coastline has a little of everything; from translucent coastal waters and desolate beaches of the Osa Peninsula in the south, rich jungle rainforest teeming with innumerable tropical species, great surfing spots around Punta Arenas and Guanacaste, to active volcanoes and beautiful protected national parks for those into serious hiking! The people of Coast Rica, known as ‘Tico’s’, are generous, welcoming and friendly and the country is safe. The government has a proactive conservation policy to protect and cherish its biodiversity and rich culture. It is an unbeatable destination, a place of discovery with increasing global appeal! Check out the marinas and excellent yacht services agent we have been recommended, who can really look after you in any of the Pacific ports along the coast of Costa Rica. With over 10,000 km of coastline, Mexico’s landmass stretches across from the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean. Again with a rich array of natural landscapes from snow capped volcanic peaks to desert plates it makes for an exciting cruising destination. The rich ancient civilisations of the Mayan and Aztec people combine with the vibrant Spanish history to create a culture full of life and energy: from the busy beaches and renowned nightlife of Acapulco to the wild coast of Baja California. This is one of the longest peninsula’s in the world stretching some 1300 km, where a wide array of marine wildlife can be found; the spectacular migrating grey whale, dolphins and sea lions. If it’s the Blue Whale you have come to see, this is one of the best places in the world to see the largest and most impressive animal on the planet. They divide their time between central and southern California, Baja California and the cold nutrient rich waters called the Costa Rica Dome. There are believed to be between 2,000 to 3,000 Blue Whales in this region altogether. Again with some good marinas and shipyards strategically placed along the coast and excellent yacht services agents we have been recommended, the challenges of yacht clearance/permits required for entry into Mexican waters is made a huge step easier! They really are agents that can help you with everything! If you are cruising this area and come across services that you feel deserve to be listed and that other Captains should know about, please let us know! Contact: info@superyachtpublications.com

Pacific Central Coast California & Hawaii
W
hilst California is comprised of nearly every landscape imaginable it is the sun drenched beaches and its dramatic coastline that has made the most populous state in the nation, affectionately known as the “Golden State”.
Home to some of the most iconic waterfronts in the world, yachts transiting the coast will undoubtedly be enticed into one of the many well known harbours. With the southern portion of the state holding the most promise for any of the demands of service requirements that yachts may have, the options get fewer and fewer the further north one travels. California has made things increasingly complicated for large private foreign flagged vessels, and many will bypass the coast in its entirety and rely on the infrastructure of the Pacific Northwest as the first port of call if coming north from Mexico. However, contact one of the yachts services agents we recommend who can help with port entry and clearance. Those yachts that do choose to visit one of California’s alluring destinations will surely be rewarded a glimpse into one of the most forward thinking, trend setting and internationally recognised places the world has ever known. Hawaii lies approx 2,270 nm south west of San Diego, in the North Pacific Ocean. Few superyachts visit – but we have been recommended an excellent yacht services agent in Honolulu.

Pacific Northwest Seattle, Canada & Alaska
T
he Pacific Northwest is a diverse geographic region that is dominated by a coastline bordered by some of the most rugged and mountainous terrain in the world. This coast stretching almost 1500 miles from Washington State to Alaska has more coastline than the rest of the Continental United States combined, and offers an infinite amount of possibilities for visiting yachts. While not many would consider this area to be a stronghold of the Spanish Crown, a closer examination of any nautical chart will reveal the names and legacy of some of history's most intrepid 17th century explorers. Whether it’s the seclusion of a quiet anchorage up one of the many fjords or inlets, or exploring one of the many seaside villages and towns that dot the coast, the Northwest has a rich and colorful maritime heritage. The cosmopolitan waterfronts of Seattle and Vancouver offer all the amenities of any world class city, but it is further afield that the wildlife and the stoic surround of a landscape carved by glaciers with snowcapped mountains falling into the sea, that one can experience the magic of the Pacific Northwest Coast.

Alaska - Ketchikan “The Gateway to Alaska”
K
etchikan is located on Revillagigedo island, 90 miles north of Prince Rupert, British Columbia and 235 miles south of Juneau Alaska. As part of the largest temperate rainforest in the world, Ketchikan is one of the wettest towns in SE receiving upwards of 150 inches of rain a year. Ketchikan’s economy is largely based on tourism and fishing - often referred to as the "salmon capitol of the world". It also houses the largest collection of standing Totem poles in the world. Most of the Totems are recarvings of older ones, a practice that began during the Roosevelt Administration through the Civilian Conservation Corps, however the Heritage Center does display poles from the 19th century. Ketchikan is a convenient port of call for visiting yachts, mainly due its geographical location and the accessibility to goods and services. The location also has made it the marine and air hub for Southern SE Alaska. While being a popular cruise ship destination, many yachts visiting take advantage of the arts and culture, fine dining, access to shopping for items uniquely Alaskan, and / or to visit one of the many local sites accessible only by air. Misty Fjords National Monument being is one of the biggest attractions. As with most communities in SE, travel to and from Ketchikan is limited to air and sea, with regular jet service in and around the state as well as direct services from the Seattle area.

Alaska - Sitka
S
itka is located on Baranoff Island, and one of the few "outer coast" communities in Southeast Alaska. Often referred to as “Sitka by the Sea”, it is one of the most beautiful and scenic towns in Southeast. While the Tlingit people originally settled in Sitka some 10,000 years ago, it wasn’t until 1799 that the Russians arrived, and made it the Capital of Russian America. As out of the way as it appears now, the settlement was once called the Paris of the Pacific and was one of the most important west coast ports for the first half of the Nineteenth century. Sitka remains an important port for both commercial fisherman, Cruise ships, and many locally based charter operators. Its colorful history and blend of both Native and Russian influences give the town itself a charm unlike any other port in Southeast. Visiting yachts can benefit from a deepwater port and over a mile of transient moorage for boats up to 200ft. There is also a myriad of shoreside attractions, shopping, restaurants, and museums… most of which are all accessible on foot. The ‘seawalk’ is a great way to navigate the town and take in the stunning landscape. Like most towns in the Southeast, Sitka is only accessible by air or sea, but does have regular jet service daily in the summertime with direct flights from Seattle and to other instate cities.

Alaska - Juneau
P
erhaps better known as the capital city, Juneau lies in the Gastineau Channel in the Alaskan Panhandle. Like many other southeast cities, Juneau was inhabited by the Tlingit people for thousands of years before the first European settlers arrived. There is a rich history behind the city that harkens back to the late 19th century when it was put on the map on account of the discovery of gold on nearby Douglas Island. This is likely the pivotal point which brought prospectors from far flung corners of the world, to strike it rich in the mining industry. Juneau is no less important today as it is the base of operations for the State Legistlature, and also welcomes over one million visitors between the months of May and September through the cruise ship industry. The population on any summer day can increase by as much as eight thousand people as the downtown waterfront can accommodate up to five cruise ships at once! Whilst there are moorings for private yachts upwards of 200ft in the downtown area, most visiting yachts choose to frequent nearby Auke Bay on the far north end of town. The channel between the downtown and Auke Bay Marina is largely un-navigable by large yachts and requires a trip around Douglas Island to get there. There is no shortage of shopping, entertainment, and of course the great outdoors to explore during a visit to Sitka. Visiting Yachts can also benefit from the access to many items that would be hard to source in some of the other southeast communities. Lacking a road system to the rest of the state, travel to and from Juneau is limited by air and sea.

Vessels more than 175’ LOA are not eligible for an exemption from pilotage in Alaskan waters. An application for a pilotage exemption and conditions of operation may be obtained from a state-registered vessel agent, or from the Board of Marine Pilots webpage at: http://commerce.alaska.gov/occ/pmar.htm State regulations require a registered agent to facilitate pilotage exemptions through the state Marine Pilot Coordinator. An application for exemption should be submitted a minimum of 30 days before arrival. A pilotage exemption does not apply to the areas of Wrangell Narrows or Peril Strait in Southeast Alaska, and if transiting these areas, a pilot must be employed.

ore brave adventurous yachts are heading south to cruise the stunning Chilean Fjords, infamous Cape Horn, Tierra del Fuego and the Magellan Straits, some even get over to The Antarctic Peninsula. The scenery is truly spectacular, from islets & fjords to magnificent glaciers, uncrowded anchorages and unspoilt land. During the warmer summer months, the ice is usually open enough for a yacht to reach the northern part of the Antarctic Peninsula from the end of November to late April. The Antarctic is protected by the international community’s Antarctic Treaty, which reserves the area south of 60°S latitude for peaceful purposes and international scientific research. There are no facilities, and a very small number of protected anchorages, so yachts must be totally self sufficient. We highly advise interested guests and yachts to liaise with a Yacht Expedition company, or a Yacht Services / Yacht Agent, who can advise with an itinerary, suggested travel plans and appropriate support. A warm south American welcome awaits yachts, their guests and crew.

The Galapagos Islands
T
he Galápagos Islands are located in the Pacific Ocean, approx. 600 miles west of Ecuador, offering a unique experience to view wildlife and landscapes found nowhere else on earth, a showcase of awe-inspiring biodiversity. An isolated group of 21 volcanic islands, quite barren of vegetation with a fragile ecosystem, where the human footprint is kept to a minimum. As part of Ecuador, in 1959 the islands were declared a national park and subsequently listed as a World Heritage Site in 1978. January to May is the best time to visit… The Humboldt Current brings cold water to these islands, causing frequent drizzles during most of the year. The three main Islands are San Cristobal, Baltra Santa Cruz, Isabela. San Cristobal The government capital, a population of 7500, with a rich history, friendly sea lions and imposing rock Kicker. Baltra Santa Cruz The commercial capital with approx. 12000 inhabitants and the presence of giant tortoises! Isabela A unique and the largest island of the group, with the highest peak of Volcan Wolf at 1,707m high! With a population of only 2500, active volcanoes and the only island to have the Equator run through it! Giant tortoises, sea lions, penguins, marine iguanas and different bird species can all be seen and approached, but before you swim with the sea lions or even step ashore there are some essential pre-planning procedures to be undertaken. The Galapagos Islands operate strict controls on tourist access in an effort to protect the natural habitats therefore all visitors must be accompanied by a national park-certified naturalist tour guide. In this chapter you will find highly recommended services to assist with all a visiting Superyachts needs to ensure the best possible Galapagos ‘experience’ for Captains, their owners, guests and crew.

he first large port of call for many yachts transiting the South Pacific, we picked up a multitude of positive comments from Captains for beautiful Tahiti and her islands which come highly recommended as being a prime yachting destination in the South Pacific. Shopping and provisioning is excellent with many French ‘high street’ outlets found in or close to the main port of Papeete, with a great range of technical service companies working to European standards, well recommended too. Yacht support services are excellent with Marina Taina being well set up to receive and welcome Superyachts, providing a comprehensive range of service companies with many highly recommended yacht service agents & ship agents to assist with all a visiting yachts requirements (see ‘Yacht Services section’). According to Captains and crew there are a multitude of advantages in making Tahiti more than just a quick stopover in the South Pacific! “Very, very friendly people” “A perfect blend of South Pacific and French / Europe Lifestyle” “Foreign flagged vessels are eligible for rebated fuel” “Easy charter base” “Fine food and wines, and yet can still easily get off the beaten track” “6 flights daily to Bora Bora” “Outstanding scenery, dramatic peaks and beautiful lagoons” “Protected anchorages” “Va’a (local canoe outriggers) racing, surfing, canyoning, Tahitian dancing etc. for crew” and they don’t stop here!

Samoa

e heard how Samoa is well worth a visit for yachts cruising through the northern or southern Cook Islands heading towards Fiji or Tonga. Despite limited facilities in some regions, with a recommended local yacht services provider, (details in this chapter) planning a visit to these beautiful islands is made easy. From the capital Apia exploring some of the sights of either Upolu or Savai'i islands by taxi or rental car is recommended, or from the various anchorages you can visit rainforests, waterfalls, and experience a way of life little changed over recent years.

The Kingdom of Tonga Tongatapu, Vava’u & Ha’apai

ecommended by Captains time and time again as being “A ‘must stop’ – these islands are truly beautiful to visit!” There are 176 islands within the Kingdom of Tonga and the waters surrounding the four main inhabited islands of Tongatapu, Ha’apai, Vava’u and ‘Eua offer (little known) world class deep sea fishing, whale watching / swims, pristine diving, cave snorkeling and diving and, on stepping ashore, you soon see why captain Cook named them ‘The Friendly Islands!’ Whilst Tongatapu offers the only facility for short term Superyacht berthing (see Marina / Docking section) Vava’u’s protected harbor at Neaifu is attracting more Superyachts each year as the word spreads that Tonga has a great deal to offer visiting yachts. Between July and October swimming with whales is a highlight - Tonga is one of the few places in the world where this activity is correctly monitored under strict safety & security guidelines. Additional crew / guest activities include diving, surfing, kite surfing, ATV tours, vanilla farm visits, attending traditional feasts and visiting stunningly beautiful outlying islands.

A destination providing everything from world class surfing, diving, water sports and unrivalled scenery and culture, Fiji offers visitors a vast arrange of cruising options. With a total of 330 islands, there’s more to Fiji than can ever be seen on a short trip! Viti Levu is the largest of Fiji’s islands and whilst Suva in the south is the capital, the majority of yachting activity and services can be found in Port Denarau, providing easy access to the fabulous cruising grounds of the Mamanuca and Yasawa Groups of islands. However, the Yasawas and Mamanucas – as lovely as they are – are only part of the equation as The Lau Group, in particular, located to the East of Viti Levu is a spectacular untouched maritime wilderness, so unique that this area must be seen to be believed. “Fiji is a fascinating blend of cultures and colour that has something to offer all yacht visitors.” “Fiji is all you could imagine of a tropical island paradise, gentle warm breezes, crystal clear sea lapping on deserted beaches, swaying palms, azure lagoons and friendly smiling people!” enthused Captains and crew we caught up with on our recent island visit to these beautiful islands. The underwater scenery is spectacular - some of the finest, and most accessible dives in the Pacific can be found here: Fiji’s reputation as the ‘soft coral capital of the world’ is well justified. The main cruising season is between May and November, though the islands are increasingly being cruised year round. The local Superyacht marina, Port Denarau Marina, can accommodate vessels up to 85m LOA. In return and in respect of the warm welcome and generosity offered by the islanders, Captains and crew stressed the following: “When you go to the islands of Fiji, it is very important that visiting yachts uphold and respect the islanders traditions by going ashore to do ‘Savu Savu’ with the village chief so that he allows you to cruise their waters, visit the beaches etc.” “You must give a Kava root. Most markets will sell Kava root.” “In recognition of their hospitality and environment you should take some gifts; educational items for the kids... games, paints, stickers etc.” We also heard how - very importantly - surplus medical supplies are always most welcome, particularly in the far outlying islands. The highly recommended yacht service agents in Port Denarau can offer further advise on distribution of medical supplies to the outlying islands (see ‘Yacht Services’ section).

Failure to give 48 hours notice of arrival will result in a fine.

Super Yacht Coatings Vessel Works, Tauranga & Auckland This highly recommended company has carried out many major Superyacht paint projects in New Zealand and overseas. Now operating from an impressive designated yacht facility at Vessel Works in Tauranga, they have recently built a new 50m long enclosed paint shed, which is accessed by a 350 tonne travel lift, currently New Zealand’s largest. The company has been operating for 12 years and is the culmination of a combined 35+ years skills, experience & expertise of its two principle painters, Regan Woodward and Mark Hanna. Their complimentary skills were brought together as a coherent team to form Super Yacht Coatings, now complimented by a staff of 45+ who are split between two bases in Tauranga and Auckland, making Super Yacht Coatings the largest paint team in New Zealand.
Based on experience, yacht owners and captains are understandably fussy about what materials and processes are used on their yachts, however they don’t necessarily want to look over each contractor’s shoulders throughout the entire proces. Good documentation is a win-win aspect of this operation – as described to us, “It gives peace-of-mind and reassurance to both parties. The owner knows exactly what is being used, what techniques have been applied, and at what stage.” They assert tight control and management of the full end-to-end refit process. Gorilla Commercial Coatings Super Yacht Coatings has a sister company (Gorilla Commercial Coatings) that provides a range of commercial services, such as Dustless Vapour Blasting, Sand Blasting, Commercial Marine Painting and High Pressure Hydro Blasting. Between the two companies they have ALL marine coating requirements covered.
Why Choose Super Yacht Coatings? End-to-end Project Management Super Yacht Coatings project manages the full end-toend refit process and they document everything they do.

REFIT & REPAIRS / PROJECT MANAGEMENT Integrated Marine Group (see also ‘Yacht Services / Concierge Services’ & ‘Crew Placement / Relief Captains’ sections) Integrated Marine Group was formed in Auckland in 2003 following a rapid influx of Superyachts visiting for the two successive Americas Cup defences. They developed a unique approach to the Superyacht Refit and Repair market responding well to the increasing size and complexity of yachts. This highly recommended company plans and actively manages the complete range of services expected to meet the most demanding requirements of refit, repair and maintenance aboard Superyachts and Expedition vessels. They work with clients well ahead of their yard periods, developing a detailed scope and work list to select the optimum resource and facilities for each project to ensure an on time, on budget quality result. IMG then engages its highly experienced staff, all with a ‘make it happen attitude’, to run with the project works start to finish and beyond. They transform the refit process for their clientele who bear testament to their highly tuned processes returning as repeat customers. When skilled resource is scarce they are a good company to know, they make things happen. Refit & Repair services include: Vessel Painting (wet berth and shipyard), interior work (specialized experience), deck systems (and all related deck services), mechanical engineering, electrical & electronics, plumbing & domestic Systems, hydraulics navigational equipment, galley & domestic Services, slipway or docking periods, safety systems & Class Surveys, design & new build and vessel warranty repair support services for Shipyards. The Auckland based company is also located in Singapore and Europe and genuinely supports yachts on the move. Heading the company, Mark Wightman has worked in the marine industry for 40 years offering wide experience and knowledge, with over 20 years focused on supporting Superyacht clientele.

oving westwards from Fiji along the main Transpacific northern cruising route, the island archipelagos of Vanuatu and New Caledonia offer some diverse and beautiful stop-over destinations whilst traversing the Southwestern Pacific Ocean. Vanuatu is an Independent Republic consisting of about 82 islands with the “French Overseas Territory” of New Caledonia located about 390 nautical miles to the south-south west. These island archipelagos offer some stunning cruising grounds alongside diverse and memorable shoreside experiences; with Vanuatu being steeped in ancient rituals and ethnic culture, New Caledonia offering a somewhat opposing degree of French ‘metropole’ sophistication.

Virginia Craig of Port of Call, comes highly recommended for providing Superyacht support services in Vanuatu. Having gained experience within the yachting industry herself and worked for a former well respected yacht agent in Vanuatu, she understands exactly the services superyachts require.

New Caledonia

ew Caledonia is a French Overseas Territory located just west of Fiji and Vanuatu, north of New Zealand and approx 900 miles north east of Brisbane. It is made up of dozens of islands, with the main island Grand Terre surrounded by a huge barrier reef, and the Capital city of Noumea in the south west. New Caledonia is renowned for sublime white sand beaches, a UNESCO World Heritage Site lagoon sheltering a huge diversity of corals and underwater wildlife, forests, waterfalls, stunning views and even retail therapy in the cosmopolitan city of Noumea, a great place to provision. Special permissions must be sought for Superyachts and Expedition Vessels that require special government permissions for their equipment or activities – like helicopter flying, filming and pilotage for yachts over 60m. Contact Yacht Services agents for support. According to the Captain recently returned to Tahiti from New Caledonia: ‘New Cal is great for kitesurfing, climbing, rock climbing and diving.’

ustralia is part of the Commonwealth, a sovereign country with Queen Elizabeth II as monarch of the Australian Continent, the Island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands. It is the largest country in Oceania with a population of 25 million, largely concentrated on the Eastern Seaboard. Sydney is the largest city, and land locked Canberra is the capital city where the Australian Government sits. While the indigenous peoples of Australia have been inhabiting the continent for at least 65,000 years, remaining an integral part of the culture, the first to “discover” Australia was the Dutchman, Able Tasman, in the 17th century. In 1770 the British claimed the Eastern half as “territory” and started settling their penal colonies. Over time, various territories were claimed and this led to the development of the Commonwealth of Australia, representing 10 territories and 6 states, which is today operated under a liberal democratic system. Famed for the outdoor lifestyle and diverse cultures, amazing wildlife and unlimited choice of activities, Australia certainly has it all and will not fail to capture the soul of the most discerning of travellers. *** MARINE INDUSTRY & CHARTER LICENSE NEWS *** Australia has leapt forward in terms of focus on the marine industry. The leading industry body, Australian International Marine Import & Export Industry (AIMEX), has been very proactive in tackling bureaucratic issues while acting as the umbrella for several organizations including AUSTRADE, The Marina Industry Association, Boating Industry Association and Superyacht Australia. Very recently both a charter license and crew visa have been granted for visiting superyachts (vessels of 24 m and over). The Superyacht Australia website is keeping a wealth of up-to-date local information, including how to obtain crew visas and references for Superyachts operating within Australia & its ports check their “Entering Australia” section online. www.superyacht-australia.com/entering-australia/

While, as professional yacht people, you are the experts in your field, in turn you understand when It Is time to call on outside skills and knowledge, as never would you wish guests underwhelmed and disappointed. Pre-packaged tours, one-size-fits-all experiences or average guides simply won’t do.
At Touring Treasures, we specialize in creating premium, personalised, land-based experiences for VIP clients in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. We’ve been featured in Forbes, Robb Report, Elite Traveller and Luxury Magazine for our ability to craft the most amazing bespoke tours with first-class service.

1. BE PART OF A REAL OPERA SHOW AT THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE One of our esteemed guests was an Opera fanatic. We surprised her with an invitation to be part of a real opera performance at the iconic Sydney Opera House. A day before the actual performance, she rehearsed with the show’s Director and Choreographer. On the night of the performance, the guest entered the iconic Sydney Opera House via the stage door like a real artist. She then reported to hair and makeup to have her show make-up and wig applied. When she heard her half-hour call, she was getting dressed in a costume fitted just for her. She followed the stage Director and came on stage with the chorus singing while her lovely husband watched her opera debut from the auditorium. A true experience of a lifetime limited to very few and a story she has been sharing with many friends.
congregates. Guided by the best experts in the country, our clients got the thrill of their lives when a 6-meter female Great White Shark emerged from the depths and passed right next to their cage. An amazing day and a truly unforgettable experience for this great couple. We wanted to end the day in a special way. After a beautiful scenic Heli-flight, a private chauffeur drove our clients to their hotel to freshen up and then drove them to the private residence of a celebrity Chef, in Port Lincoln, for a Master class cooking demonstration and 6 course dinner of local produce and wine. The setting was divine overlooking the waterways of the Port Lincoln Marina. The Chef provided our clients with the freshest, most sumptuous seafood Australia has to offer. Wild caught Abalone, Squid and Prawns, locally farmed Kingfish, Mussels and Coffin Bay Oysters as well as fresh Lobsters caught that day. A fantastic way to finish off a day on the Eyre Peninsula.
3. MAGICAL WINE TASTING EXPERIENCE ON YOUR SUPERYACHT Our Private Jet Tour clients were wine connoisseurs and lovers' of food, so we wanted to give them a culinary showcase. We flew a Wine Ambassador from an internationally renowned South Australian winery over to Sydney to conduct an ultimate luxury wine tasting & dining experience on the guest’s Superyacht while cruising on the spectacular Sydney Harbour.
2.ADRENALINE RUSH WITH A CULINARY TWIST Have you ever thought of diving amongst the world’s most feared and most misunderstood predator – the Great White shark? This is what we planned for one of our clients, a lover of truly wild nature. To make the experience really special, we had organized a private helicopter flight to the Neptune Islands where one of the planet’s most amazing predators'
To enhance the dining experience, the eightcourse menu was designed so that each course was paired with each wine that had been carefully selected by the Ambassador. The guests were delighted to experience such an exclusive and intimate masterclass on a superyacht, overlooking the harbour.

4. PRIVILEGED CULTURAL CONNECTION WITH ABORIGINAL ELDERS
5. AUSTRALIA’S MOST EXCLUSIVE GOLF COURSE AND SPA RETREAT
Connecting with the oldest living culture on Earth is something truly special. At Touring Treasures, we strive to provide our clients with truly authentic and immersive Aboriginal experiences. Far away from the crowd, our clients gain privileged access to remote Aboriginal homelands and communities that are only accessible to very few because of their location and distance from the modern world.
We had 4 couples traveling together in Australia on a Superyacht. From their travel profiles, we knew that all husbands were golf fanatics however their wives had other interests. To provide a true bespoke experience, we crafted an amazing land-based day for the group. We organized a special food, wine and golf day at one of Australia’s most exclusive golf courses where access to non-members is extremely difficult to obtain. Our solid network enabled us to provide our clients with the opportunity to enjoy such a privilege reserved to very few.
Exclusive and authentic are the only words that can accurately describe our Aboriginal experiences. Deep in the outback, our clients connect with the local population and learn about a culture so rare and different to their own. Touring Treasures give them the opportunity to fully immerse in the Aboriginal culture by meeting and connecting with heads of the communities visited, accessing very special rock art sites, trying their traditional food and even listening to ancient stories.
We made sure their helicopter flight to the Estate was scenic. Of course, we had organized a special day for the wives as well. We flew them by helicopter to a legendary and luxurious health retreat where they enjoyed one of Australia’s best spa treatments for a full day. Of course, fine food and bubbles were part of their bespoke program. Husbands and wives were ecstatic upon their return to their yacht and talked all night about their very special day.
Ensure Your Guests Have the Experience of a Lifetime These experiences were tailor-made to the travel profiles of our guests. This is what makes them truly special. You don’t get generic activities, or pre-packaged holidays that anyone can buy online. You get a unique and ultraexclusive adventure, perfectly planned to suit your VIP guests’ interests and desires and exceed their expectations. This is exactly what we do at Touring Treasures and why we’ve been recognised as Australia’s premier travel company by Tourism Australia for many years.

Dive Addiction – Dive Guide Australia Cairns, Queensland We received very positive recommendations for Dive Addiction. Tom Lang, and his lovely wife Erin are the driving (and diving) forces behind this company. With a long track record in diving in general and diving in the Great Barrier Reef in particular, they have a wealth of knowledge and experience in this area. Best dive itineraries, best guiding, best practice they have everything covered. Erin has specialised in diving for and with kids; Perfect for families that want to go as a group.
What makes them even more special is their ability to not only bring you to show you around but they have the expertise and experience to help run the complete dive operation, including the logistics on board of your yacht. If need be they can also help with the diving permits, provide all necessary equipment, fill the tanks, prepare the dive sets for all divers, give the briefings, guide the dives, do de-briefings etc. In other words, a turn-key solution for yachts that are not fully prepared or are under-staffed for scuba diving and now still can offer it to their guests with confidence. Dive Addiction will organise all needs on-board including PADI courses for (re-)certification. Dive Addiction is operating out of Port Douglas, Queensland but can assist anywhere in the Great Barrier Reef area and beyond. Just give them a call and tell them what you need; They will move mountains to make it happen.

risbane City, the capital of Queensland is a wonderful place to spend time, is a very manageable city and for those living on yachts, it does not overwhelm, in fact, Brisbane welcomes. With a vast mix of cultures Brisbane is seen as the “Country City” by those in New South Wales, although this is changing. This is a true Aussie, “outdoor living style” City, with many concerts, markets, theatre, arts and of course a great restaurant and nightlife scene as well! From the arts of South bank, the Botanical Gardens then to the trendy streets of Fortitude Valley, ‘Brissy’ offers easy access to it all. The walking and cycling paths along the river take you past restaurants, bars, cafes and parks, linking the central areas with ease. The free river ferry service and the large City Cats make getting from A to B a fun easy adventure, keeping everything so accessible. Stroll down Queen Street to The Mall or go to the various weekend markets, options abound. The transport around the area is very good and the City Cats also come under the same overall management. A “Go Card” can be purchased which covers all transport options. www.translink.com.au During the month of September Brisbane holds an amazing festival with International artists attending: Live Concerts, Theatre, Art, Exhibitions, Circus and so much more. If you are lucky enough to be around do not miss out! Moreton Island, the second largest sand island after Fraser Island, forms part of Brisbane Bay and offers great 4-wheel driving, off the standard tourist track. Here you can sand toboggan or take a dip in the “inland champagne pool. This is an easy day trip from Brisbane. Of course, a couple of the major yards and marinas are based near the mouth of the Brisbane River and offer very high-quality services and facilities.

Commitment to Environmental Sustainability A thoroughly modern and sustainable yard, on-site initiatives include water harvesting, treatment and recycling, hard and liquid waste recycling and the largest marine solar power facility in the world. GCCM’s longstanding commitment to environmental best practice is demonstrated by the facility’s recent 100% score on its Clean Marina Accreditation. Future development To accommodate the growing size of yachts, GCCM is developing an adjacent 20-hectare sister facility. This new yard will augment the current capacity to accommodate yachts up to 75 metres and in excess of 1,000 tonnes on the hardstand and 85 metres in the water.
GCCM is located on Australia's Gold Coast. This thriving city is known for its golden beaches and world class surf breaks. Yet, more than a beachside town, the Gold Coast is a modern cosmopolitan city with a thriving restaurant, bar and events scene. The beauty of the 57 kilometres of pristine surf beaches is matched by the tranquillity of the lush rainforest which sit behind the Gold Coast in the Scenic Rim. Many crew have commented GCCM is the only shipyard in the world where you catch a break in the morning, complete a full day on the shipyard then relax with sunset drinks looking over the ocean. Not to mention bush walking and wine tasting on the weekends.

continued... The supersized shipyard prides itself on being the cleanest yard anywhere. International visitors from every part of the globe assert that The Boat Works is impressive for its high calibre facilities and fastidious standards, all underpinned by the most advanced water collection, filtration and recycling systems, solar arrays and bio-gardens. The yard’s impeccable presentation teamed with exceptional service and a unique culture surpass every Captain’s or owner’s expectations. Set in a tranquil, tropical oasis, it’s essentially a ‘resort for your vessel’. The choice of a staggering number of individual refit sheds, 50+ over the two yards, provides Captains and owners with the confidence of quality-controlled work environments. The 25+ Superyacht Sheds, all screened with double sheeted walls fitted out with latest generation LED lighting, internal cameras & multiple high amp power options. Each Superyacht shed will include private en-suites with showers, dedicated airconditioned work offices to accommodate tools, plans etc. In the style of an Airline Club Lounge, a VIP lounge with large panel glazing and 5-star amenities will be located adjacent to the superyacht lifting bay as a vantage point for Captains and owners to view their vessels during haul out and water blasting. Parking and concierge services are conveniently on the doorstep.
The expansion of the superyacht refit and repair facility will include a world-class lifestyle offering: restaurants, bars, boutiques, professional offices, mixed retail, conference and function centre and crew accommodation. Given its exceptional amenities and warm hospitality The Boat Works is renowned for, it will be a preferred pitstop for migrating yachts cruising the east coast to the Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef. All this is in addition to the thriving southern yard, which has been evolving since it was established in 1980. Operating at full capacity with a current haul out rate of 50 vessels per week using three specialist lifts, the south yard features a comprehensive Chandlery and paint supplies superstore and 60+ tenants on-site, who represent every facet of the marine industry. Food and beverage venues, The Galley Restaurant and Espresso Twenty5 Cafe with its prestige car museum, are a genuine point of difference and have become a lively social hub. According to owner Tony Longhurst, The Boat Works’ superyacht yard sets a new benchmark in Australia. “We will be the cleanest, greenest and most high-tech superyacht facility and marina,” said Mr Longhurst. “Our vision is to become the refit and service yard of choice for Australia’s charter fleet and privately-owned superyachts as well as foreign-flagged yachts visiting our waters.”

A sample of the projects through the shipyard this year include:
The Yard Brisbane 44 Barku Ct, Hemmant, Queensland, 4174, Australia Finishing off 2019 strongly with more Superyachts and bigger projects than ever before. It is known in the industry that the second half of the calendar year is the stronger of the two halves. The Yard Brisbane is certainly finishing the year off strongly. The number of Superyachts (over 35m) visiting The Yard Brisbane this year increased by 20% over the previous calendar year. Vessels taking advantage of The Yard Brisbane at the time of writing the special edition include:
• Warranty work for Royal Huisman, Delta, Lagoon, Damen • Engine/Generator Change Outs • Split Bus Electrical installations syncr system • High Horsepower Main engine rebuilds • Interior re-design and refit • Full vessel refinishing • Rig refurbishment and servicing – Large Sailing Yachts with our partners Rig Pro • Lifting Keel Servicing – done on site.
• Hardstand: Antares (45m – just departed), Last Vintage (36m)
• Fibreglass, aluminium and carbon fibre hull repairs – all done on site by marine tenants.
• Work Berth: Endless Summer (50m)
• Rebuilds on a variety of feathering propeller systems for large sailing yachts
• Project Halls: Pursuit (51m), Legacy (50m), Murcialago (36m), Broadway (25m) • Scheduled to come in this year: Rochade (50m), Adix (68m), Texas T (36m), Bravado (45m) and Moatize (45m). The changing nature of the superyacht marketplace The Superyacht sector in Australia is growing and certainly The Yard Brisbane is benefiting along with their neighbouring boatyards and shipyards in the South East Queensland marketplace. Increasingly captains and owners are using the services of MCA Projects, The Yards’ on-site project management service, for coordinating refits. The buying power, coordinated billing and trusted relationships with tenants and preferred suppliers are important elements of the refit coordination service.
• Working with all survey classification societies • Underwater gear – shaft bearing, both gyro stabilisation systems, install and service. Facility Upgrades The Yard Brisbane has constructed a new front gate access system. This new front gate serves to facilitate a new ‘Outside Contractors’ policy. Both have been designed to assist in driving up standards at the shipyard. The focus is on better quality, health, safety and environmental outcomes in the facility. The Yard’s 65T Precinct has now been relocated and all vessels and marine tenants are now operating within one shipyard, allowing clients to access all capabilities the facility has within one well-resourced precinct. The TYB Team The Yard’s on-site marine team of tenants and preferred suppliers now constitutes 250+ skilled marine professionals. Captains we interviewed reported on the technical capabilities and ‘can-do’ attitude of all onsite staff and tenants. The Ultimate Superyacht Refit Centre.

T
he State of New South Wales covers a vast area from Byron Bay in the North, famous for its beaches, surf and subsequent lifestyle to the miles of pristine beaches, coves and bays in the South, including Eden. Heading inland, The Snowy Mountains border the State of Victoria, offering spectacular scenery, skiing and snowboarding or during the summer hiking, climbing, cycling and horse riding. Staying inland, the Blue Mountains and Southern Highlands are both a day trip from Sydney, the latter offering bushwalking, pubs and antique shops while the Blue Mountains have caves to explore and offer a little more of a wilderness experience…with a bar & restaurant or two! No trip to NSW is complete without a visit to the Hunter Valley and its many vineyards, most of which are open for tastings and many have great restaurants to help you enjoy a lazy, wine infused lunch. The area capitol, Newcastle, is settled at the mouth of the Hunter River, with Lake Macquarie, the Southern hemisphere’s largest, permanent coastal salt water lake there to explore. Also some of the most beautiful forests exist in this area, offering more great walking and cycling. As one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Sydney will certainly take your breath away not only when you see the view of the harbour and iconic Opera House. The capital of NSW and the most populous city in The Southern Hemisphere has an extremely lively night scene, restaurants and bars for all tastes, an active China Town and of course, a strong beat of Aboriginal cultures. Sydney Harbour is the life blood of the city and to think a yacht can anchor or berth in the middle of this, is quite something!

Haul-out
MARINE INFORMATION Sydney Harbour is a very busy waterway, managing all types of marine traffic and hence falls under MARPOL and IMO regulations, along with local rules and regulations. At all times, when operating within Sydney Harbour or within a 5-mile radius, the monitoring of VHF channel 13 is mandatory, along with the required check-ins with Sydney Ports VTS.
Marina berthing Marina berthing for the larger superyachts in Sydney is offered by Sydney Superyacht Marina and Jones Bay Marina. There is also the possibility to berth alongside Campbell’s Cove Jetty with direct view on the Opera House. Other marinas in Sydney and NSW offer berthing to smaller yachts up to 30-40+ meters, like D’Albora’s two marinas, Rosebay, Soldiers Point, The Spit and a few others. For details see the Marinas & Mooring section.
Haul-out is possible at Sydney City Marine (800 tonne syncro lift and very busy so planning required), Thales in Newcastle are looking into facilitating superyachts and Garden Island in Sydney (navy/commercial). Smaller facilities exist for tenders/runabouts. Find full up-to-date details on guidelines for superyachts in Sydney in this downloadable handbook: www.rms.nsw.gov.au/documents/maritime/usingwater ways/sydney-harbour-superyacht-guidelines.pdf More information on cruising within Australia as a whole on: www.superyacht-australia.com.

Pittwater Anchorages “I’d recommend that you incorporate a few days on anchor in Pittwater and the Hawkesbury River. The Hawkesbury River is just north of Sydney Harbour and offers deep water and sheltered anchoring locations in most bays. The Hawkesbury is surrounded by National Parks offering privacy and a rich natural environment with plenty of opportunities to take a tender and goashore on a local beach. If you visit the Hawkesbury outside school holidays period (10 to 26 April 2020) you’ll notice few boats around. The Hawkesbury is really, really breath taking”.

Since that taste of racing on the high seas – one hand for the camera, one on the grinder – Grant has emerged as keenly sought photographer within the sailing fraternity, thanks to his unique signature that has helped document the sport at regattas from Bass Strait to the Mediterranean.

Major Yacht Services Sydney Superyacht Marina, NSW Major Yacht Services, (MYS), has been especially designed to meet the growing needs of Superyachts visiting Australian waters. MYS can assist with all your superyacht customs clearance and quarantine requirements in any Australian port. They can arrange to have most of the paperwork completed, prior to the yacht arrival, allowing for a seamless and stress-free entry into Australia. At the time of arrival, MYS will plan for the Authorities to meet at your vessel at her berth instead of clearing at a Customs clearance anchorage or wharf. MYS has organised Superyacht Berths for both foreign and domestic superyachts in most major ports in Australia. No matter your cruising destination or port of arrival we have the local knowledge to provide the right advice. At MYS they have over 20 years of experience in assisting Captain’s and Crew to obtain Visas. Thereby streamlining the process and making the Sponsorship and Visa application process as seamless and as easy as possible. Any Superyacht travelling into Australia who has foreign crew on board must have valid visas for the Crew prior to entry. In some cases, it requires a Sponsorship to be in place so that the foreign crew members can acquire the most appropriate Visas. The sponsor can be the Captain or the Owner of the Superyacht, or the Ownership Company.
MYS is also a leading supplier to the Superyacht industry of diesel fuel and lubricants, Australia wide. They supply bunkers to both foreign and domestic superyachts. Depending on your location, they can offer bunkers from either truck, barge or bowser. Holding trade accounts with several major fuel suppliers throughout Australia, Major Yacht Services is consistently doing the fuel volume to enable fuel supply at the most competitive prices.

SUPERYACHT SERVICES GUIDE • TASMANIA
Tasmania
T
he Southern Island State of Australia, Tasmania or “Tassie”, is renowned for its wilderness, wildlife, farming, wineries and UNESCO heritage sites of the penal settlements. Tassie is also legendary for the fantastic warmth the locals show to visitors and the enigmatic and iconic Tasmanian Devil, once a resident of mainland Australia, now only existing on Tassie and the tiny Maria Island. In 1982 The World Heritage Committee included the Western Tasmanian Wilderness National Parks into the World Heritage List – about 1/5 of the state. This area consists of 6 national parks and a number of reserves, creating a wilderness of “indescribable beauty”. When we asked the locals what is good about Tasmania for visiting superyachts, they answered: ”Scenery! Clean & green, large empty beautiful beaches, bays, cliffs, sheltered anchorages, National Parks, wilderness, World Heritage sites, hiking, views, wildlife, vineyards, cellar doors, food!, local produce, cheeses, the best meat, freshest seafood, distilleries, surprisingly nice weather, deep sea fishing (just 10 nm East of Tasman Island), restaurants, very upmarket lodges, MONA and MOFO modern art, golf!, historical sites, mountain bike parks (Grand Prix), scuba diving, deep water ports (Hobart), excellent marine services and supplies!! (almost everything you need is there and can be supplied). Some may say that Tasmania offers the best cruising grounds of Australia; Its smaller size means it is possible for guests to see so much of the Island state, with stunning new anchorages almost every night and minimal time spent underway. Of course, the weather can be temperamental and obviously colder than Northern areas, but this is nothing that a well-prepared yacht cannot handle, to make the owner’s trip special and everything we have heard and seen says this place is truly special.

Best time is late Feb-April with less wind and still fairly warm temperatures (into 20+ degrees Celsius). Dec-Jan is warmer (up to 25 degrees), but with more wind and certainly busier with island visitors. Oct-Nov is possible, but more wind and colder than the Feb-April window. Not dissimilar to Melbourne, the weather can change suddenly. It can be sunny and 25 degrees one minute, only to have the wind shift direction to a southerly coming straight from the Antarctic the next. Keep a warm jacket close by at all times!
Pilotage Pilotage rules apply, similar to everywhere else in Australia, exemptions can be given based on local knowledge and yacht size. See Pilotage section.
With predominantly Westerly winds, this means that when weather systems hit, the West Coast gets battered and the East Coast and South East Coast are often spared from the worst weather. The East and South East provide fantastic sheltered sailing grounds between islands with stunning anchorages, beaches and rugged cliffs. The North of Tasmania is less sheltered, but yachts can berth 6nm into the Tamar River at Beauty Point. The heavily forested West Coast, covered in dense rainforest, is less protected for cruising and needs the right weather window. It features two stunning inland bays and rivers. Port Davey / Bathurst Channel: entrance is subject to size and currently only up to 40m, due to environmental protection. The government is looking into possibilities of allowing larger yachts to enter. The second is Macquarie Harbour, another large inland bay, with draft restrictions of about 3m for Kelly Passage at Macquarie Heads. With access to Strahan town, Gordon River and Sarah Island (historical penal settlement).

It has its own winery (Moorilla) with Cellar Door and created the Mona Pavilions, super flash luxury accommodation dens on the River Derwent. Two special MONA ferries run between Hobart and the museum. You can’t come to Tassie and miss this place; it is simply amazing- this is a truly world class Museum. Mona and the internationally renowned music/art/dance festivals Mofo (taking place in Launceston) and Dark Mofo are also closely related as initiated by the same group. Mona organises private experiences and even dinners with Mona Director David Walsh, who started the museum after making millions as a professional gambler.

Salamanca Market Mures Seafood Victoria Dock, Hobart, Tasmania Known to be the go-to for oysters, fish, muscles and pretty much anything that comes from the ocean! Chefs would be wise to place an order with them as they do sell out quickly. They stock Bruny Island Oysters and Barilla Bay Oysters. They also have a restaurant just near the Airport, so chefs could drive out and speak with the oyster farmers themselves, if they wanted to source directly.

Every Saturday morning, the best part of these markets for chefs is the fruit and veg section run by the Hmong People every Saturday. Lovely vegies laid out in neat rows. They are situated in the flat part of the market – the only stores selling vegies under tents so hard to miss. Some 100% organic vegie stores on Saturdays too – would be a good place for chefs to go to talk to the actual farmers if they wanted to have deliveries from farmers direct.

WINES / SPIRITS / BEVERAGES Many award-winning wineries, cellar doors, craft beer breweries and excellent whisky and gin distilleries are based in Tasmania. They have been placed under Shoreside Attractions and Events. In Australia, you cannot buy alcohol at the supermarket so have to go to a separate bottle shop. Tassie has all the same chains as the rest of Australia, however, by far the best in Tassie are 9/11 Bottle shops. They stock all the local beer and wine, and at their Gasworks shop have a separate Tasmanian Wine Tasting room. Chief Stews and Chefs would be best to go up to Gasworks 9/11 and have a wine tasting, then make their selections from there. Some fantastic new breweries starting up in Tasmania too so, if guests are into their beer this is the place to get them!

M
elbourne is the coastal capital of the southeastern Australian state of Victoria and was recently voted one of the “World’s Most Livable Cities”. Superyachts visiting Melbourne have the (impressive) opportunity to park right in the middle of the city at Melbourne Superyacht Marina after crossing Port Phillip Bay. From the marina into the city center is a 20-minute walk or you can take a ride in a free tram as the marina is at the free tram zone of Melbourne’s CBD. At the city’s center is the modern Federation Square development, with plazas, bars, and restaurants by the Yarra River. In the Southbank area, the Melbourne Arts Precinct is the site of Arts Centre Melbourne – a Performing Arts Complex – and the National Gallery of Victoria, with Australian and Indigenous Art. Major Events accessible by water Victoria hosts more prestigious international events than any other state in Australia; most of these events are accessible by tender or runabout directly from Melbourne Superyacht Marina. Just to name a few: The Australian Open (Jan/Feb), Formula 1 Grand Pix (March), MotoGP (October), The Melbourne Cup (November), The 2020 ICT T20 World Cup Cricket, and various Polo events at high level. For more event details see under ‘Shoreside Activities / Events’. Grampians National Park Rising abruptly from the surrounding Western Plains, the Grampians (Gariwerd) are a series of rugged sandstone mountain ranges and forests rich in wildlife. One of Victoria’s most popular holiday destinations, the park is a great venue for camping, climbing, scenic drives, bushwalks and nature study. A network of walking tracks throughout the park allows you to explore cascading waterfalls, brilliant spring wildflower displays, and panoramic views from lookouts. Drive to Reeds and Boroka lookouts for spectacular views or visit the magnificent Fish Falls. The area has a rich Aboriginal heritage and a number of important rock art sites. The Grampians National Park is located about 250 km northwest of Melbourne. Head for Hall’s Gap as being the main access point. For skiing you need to be in the higher mountains of New South Wales. Twelve Apostles Southwest from Melbourne at the town of Torquay the 235 km famous Great Ocean Road starts - famous for its dramatic scenery, and Iconic Twelve Apostles. The Twelve Apostles are a collection of limestone stacks off the shore of Port Campbell National Park, by the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. Their proximity to one another has made the site a popular tourist attraction. For the not too fainthearted the Twelve Apostles Lodge Walk is a beautiful experience. Fully guided walks with private accommodation along this famous chiseled coastline are available. Return each evening to a private eco-lodge where you'll be served gourmet meals. Unforgettable experience. Total distance about 55 km in four days. So, for the fit amongst us totally doable.

DIVING AND SNORKELLING Who would believe that Port Phillip Bay and the Mornington Peninsula sport some very good Dive Sites with clear water, plentiful sea life and underwater scenery? With more than 500 species of sea animals and 1000 species of sea plants there is a lot to explore. A 5 or 7 mm suit is recommended to discover the huge variety of colourful sponges, fish in any size or shape, sea rays, sea stars and sea weed forests. You’ll find the elusive pipefish, pygmy seahorses hiding in the seaweed and octopuses lurking in the sand. Seals and dolphins abound and you can slip into their communities by donning some suits, masks and fins. Or witness annual migrations of thousands and thousands of giant spider crabs to the shallow parts of Port Phillip Bay to shed their old hardened shells to grow new and bigger ones. Not yet convinced? Then watch “Who would believe this is Port Phillip Bay?” on www.youtube.com.

Western Australia
W
estern Australia, covering the entire western third of the country, has a coastline of 12.900 km (and 20.800 km including islands). It has the longest coastline of any state or territory in Australia and there is much to be discovered. Its population is concentrated in its fertile southwest corner, home to the Margaret River wine region, the riverside capital, Perth and lovely Fremantle at the seaside. In the far north, the Kimberley region is home to indigenous communities, ancient Aboriginal rock art, the Bungle Bungle sandstone domes, vertical and horizontal waterfalls and Broome, with Cable Beach camels and a pearling industry. Inland WA is made up mostly of the arid Outback. For visiting yachts there are many coral reefs equalling the Great Barrier Reef in beauty and very close to the coastline. In many places the reef is at swimming distance from the beach. Two of the reefs that stand out ae Ningaloo Reef and Montgomery Reef. WA is also the destination for whale and whale shark watching. The scenery of seascapes, beaches, estuaries and water inlets is unmatched. Bring or charter a helicopter for taking all in from the sky as well.

SUPERYACHT SERVICES GUIDE • NORTHERN TERRITORY
Northern Territory
T
he Northern Territory is vast, extending from the centre of Australia’s map, near Uluru and the town of Alice Springs, to the coastal capital city of Darwin and its neighbouring islands.
Despite its geographical footprint, this is a territory rather than a state due to the small population, with just over 250,000 people – less than half that of Tasmania. Strong indigenous cultures offer thriving art practices, ancient storytelling and deep spiritual tradition, while diverse national parks provide striking landscapes and call you to adventure. The Outback is what defines the Northern Territory as one of the most unique environments on the planet. The vast ochre deserts, spectacular skies, surreal rocky outcrops and deep, snaking canyons of this sparse and iconic landscape reward visitors with an unforgettable Territory experience. Darwin Darwin is Australia’s northern most capital city. More than 50 nationalities make up its population of just over 100,000, including its traditional landowners, the Larrakia Aboriginal people. With a rich and interesting history, Darwin's involvement in World War II is evident at the many preserved sites in and around the city. The tropical climate sets the scene for a variety of unique outdoor experiences and activities thanks to its balmy weather and the friendly, easy going attitude of locals. Darwin is also an excellent base from which to explore the internationally recognised World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park, along with other unique natural attractions like Litchfield and Nitmiluk National Parks, the Tiwi Islands and Arnhem Land. Information on Darwin Port: www.darwinport.com.au/sites/default/files/uploads/2019/Darwin Port Handbook July 2019.pdf Arnhem Land Escape to one of Australia’s last true wilderness areas. Arnhem Land is one of the Top End’s most spectacular natural destinations. Beautiful scenery, rugged coastlines, remote islands, rivers teeming with fish, rainforest, towering escarpments and savannah woodland. Arnhem Land is a vast area occupying a large proportion of the Northern Territory’s Top End. It is bordered by Kakadu National Park, the Arafura Sea and the Gulf of Carpentaria. At 91,000 square km, Arnhem Land is bigger than many countries but is sparsely populated. Arnhem Land’s small population is predominantly made up of Aboriginal people (Yolgnu being the dominant group) whose traditional culture is largely intact. Aboriginal artists here are highly respected and many have an international following. Eastern Arnhem Land is the spiritual home of the didgeridoo, or yidaki, as the Yolngu refer to it. Arnhem Land is Aboriginal land and visitors require permits to enter. https://www.australia.com/en-gb/places/darwin-and-surrounds/guide-to-darwin.html Marine An agent is required to handle port entry into Darwin – see Pilotage section in the Northern Territory chapter on page 474 for further details.

he archipelagos of Vanuatu & Solomons’ create part of the Northern Pacific route and offer some of the most diverse and “untouched” areas in The World. The Sovereign State of The Solomon Islands are about 780 nm north west of Vanuatu, both offering spectacular diving and shore side scenery. Not only do these islands offer stunning cruising, which is starting to open up these remote destinations but they are steeped in tradition and rich, ancient culture which is still alive and very much part of today’s life. Of course the NE Coast of Australia, with their superb and large choice of facilities and services, can act as a base from which to head off to these destinations. Once again, we highlight that on visiting these regions you work closely with the locals and respect their culture and nature at all times. Some highly recommended services have been suggested in the chapter, with good reason. We look forward to hearing more from you!

TETEPARE …The Last Wild Island A conservation jewel in the Western Province of the Solomon Islands. Cloaked in tropical rain forest and fringed with biodiverse reefs, this is the largest uninhabited island, unspoilt by mankind, in the Southern Hemisphere. Home to one of the Solomon Island’s leading conservation projects and a small Eco lodge, this island is otherwise forgotten by time. Offering various conservation programs and community projects, permission to visit the island must first be obtained and of course, all support is gratefully welcomed for this incredible conservation project.

Papua New Guinea
T
he World’s third largest Island is in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. Papua New Guinea (PNG) encompasses the eastern half of New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago (New Britain, New Ireland, the Admiralty Islands, and several others); Bougainville and Buka and small offshore islands and atolls. The national capital, Port Moresby, is located in southeastern New Guinea on the Coral Sea. Papua New Guinea is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. There are 851 known languages in the country, most of the population live in traditional “customary communities” and of the 8 million population around 18% live in urban centers. We are informed there are only about 50,000 cars, leaving walking as the key form of travel. With the islands isolation and the challenges of diverse topography, including the New Guinea Highlands, vast untouched rainforest and some of The World’s best remote diving, it is no wonder tribal traditions and nature’s beauty have been able to remain in place. There is no doubt Papua New Guinea offers such unique experiences. There are now services catering to the Superyacht Industry, enabling crew and guests to taste this history while maintaining the integrity of the people, culture, oceans and lands.

Palau
P
alau is an island country located in the West Pacific with a population of about 21,000 spread over 250 islands. The country was originally settled approximately 3,000 years ago by Philippine migrants and has a checkered history of invasions throughout this period. Palau comes well recommended as having some of the best diving in the world! This region has become very well known amongst visiting yachts for its wonders of nature – lush tropical rainforests and pristine coral reefs with an abundance of sea life. As of 2020, Palau has become the first country in the world to ban sun cream that is harmful to corals and sea life – so sunscreens that include oxybenzone, and other common ingredients are not allowed to be worn or sold in the country. Before arrival, please check first what sun screens are acceptable.

outheast Asia, historically known as The Orient, in general covers the countries between The Indian Ocean and The Pacific – the diversity, variety and experiences offered are incredible: remote, pristine anchorages, some of the most high tech cities in the world, cultural experiences that open “your eyes”, extravagant religious celebrations, traditional simple living & the ultimate in luxury…more than enough to keep the most discerning visitor fully immersed in new and wonderful experiences and yet, always, close enough to modern services and comforts. Infrastructure, particularly with the advent of the 2020 Olympics in Japan and the 2021 America’s Cup in New Zealand, both marine and land based, is constantly evolving & improving within Asia, as a whole. There are obvious “maritime hubs” within the area, due to strategic locations established from the days of The Silk Routes but now, very much, offering superb “western standard” marine facilities and services. Thanks to the Monsoon seasons, SE Asia offers wonderful year-round cruising. The North East Monsoon, from November through to April offers idyllic cruising in the Indian Ocean and along the Andaman Coast, from Myanmar to Singapore. The South West Monsoon from April to November, opens up the Western coasts, from Singapore up to Japan, Hong Kong and China or follow the trades through the thousands of Indonesian and Philippine Islands...the list is endless and with such year-round cruising options it is no surprise that growth in the marine industry remains positive here. Accessibility by yachts to so much remote territory is truly special, and can be an opportunity to “help others” as they pass various islands and more off the beaten track locations; the need for basic medical supplies, educational material or even clean water can offer rewarding experiences for all on-board. Keep in touch with the team at YachtAid Global whose motto “changing the world without changing course” could not be more apt. www.yachtaidglobal.com

J
apan, hosts of The Rugby World Cup 2019 and 2020 Olympics, has been making massive efforts to upgrade (more) facilities to accommodate Superyachts with comfort.
Added to the fact that there are almost 7,000 islands to discover, Japan is most definitely a destination establishing itself on the World Cruising Map. With year-round cruising, Japan offers an intriguing mix of high Tech, First World infrastructure alongside ancient history, 2600 years of it! The Inland Sea, in particular offers annual cruising opportunities & we understand you can experience world class skiing in the morning, then relax on a sunny beach on that afternoon! Technically advanced Japan also offers the infamous “Bullet Train” alongside over 100 airports, making travel, within the country, a pleasure and... everything tends to be on time! This technical ability also makes Japan a great place for jet and helicopter services. Sub-Tropical, Southern Japan has crystal, warm, waters and coral reefs while the far Northern Islands are temperate, with high snowfalls in winter, similar to Maine & Newfoundland. The classic seasons of Japan are well known, in particular Spring, for the Cherry Blossoms blooming from March to early May, which has a whole culture surrounding this beautiful event of nature. This is a country that definitely needs local agents on the ground to help organise the general bureaucratic tape - it is so worth it!

hina is a nation of vast landscapes encompassing grassland, desert, mountains, lakes, rivers and more than 14,000km of coastline. The cities showcase a country that has been experiencing huge financial and populous growth with their mix of ultra-modern and ancient history. From the iconic Panda bear to the history of Tiananmen and the Great Wall there is no doubt there is so much to see. Presently, it remains a country that may be easier to fly to but huge marina developments – mainly lifestyle focused – have brought attention to this industry and efforts are underway to create change and make cruising this immense coastline a reality of manageable effort. The nation is not new to shipping and boat building and has now started to wake up to the Superyacht Industry, with new yards developing alongside the country’s growth. Some of the more adventurous have joined regattas in order to enter the country, as this move to being seen as “international” aids regattas to help with permits etc. However, once in, you are restricted in cruising movement. In 2018, at Singapore Yacht Show, it was announced that Hainan (the smallest and Southern most Province) is to be designated as a large-scale pilot project in developing yachting and overcoming the tiring bureaucracy for permits etc. However, the follow-up congress planned for mid-2019 for all main players involved where actionable plans and funding were to be discussed was cancelled. Another initiative, The Greater Bay Area Development scheme (Hong Kong and Macau yachts can enter part of the Hainan cruising areas without paying the 44% tax) seems to move slowly forward. The developments in (super)yachting infrastructure and opening up areas to visiting yachts throughout the country has become part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative. With the BRI having a planned completion date of 2030, it is not clear at this point of writing when the actual marine infrastructural developments will take place at a larger scale. Smaller initiatives seem to be in place though.

hen thinking of Hong Kong, most people think of The Island of Hong Kong, host to the great buzzing financial center, miles of escalator systems, luxury malls, traditional markets and the famous skyline - in fact there is so much more... particularly on Lantau Island and in the New Territories, offering hiking trials and some wonderful beaches with quaint restaurants serving local seafood. Hong Kong works off the “Octopus Card” system, similar to the Oyster card in London. This card is readily available and should be purchased as soon as possible, as it enables access to public transport, supermarkets, grocery stores... it opens up a whole easier way of getting around Hong Kong. You are strongly advised to check visa regulations, as some nationalities have tighter restrictions; for example, for Filipinos, despite the past student protests. Hong Kong offers a really eclectic mix of East meets West and this really is a fascinating and enthralling place to visit.

ietnam is an easy-going, friendly country, one of Southeast Asia’s most beautiful – with golden sand beaches, lush tropical mountain scenery, magnificent limestone cliffs and bustling cities, not to mention the fabulous culinary delights available. It is very much an emerging market on the travel scene which also applies to the marine industry. In general, infrastructure is being upgraded particularly for airports and major hotels. Also, marine facilities are starting to appear and have been built to international standards with the aim of accommodating Superyachts. Its strategic location between Hong Kong and Singapore and the availability of fuel, water, and fresh provisions makes it very convenient as a stopping point.
The definition of a pleasure yacht is still to be made but local officials are learning and do try to make life easy. A dialogue is evolving between yacht agents, authorities and law-makers, that should further improve the situation. For now, you are strongly advised to go through a Yacht Service Agent. Highlights for this destination, such as Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), peaceful Nha Trang or the dramatic UNESCO natural wonder of Da Nang, are must see attractions to this wonderful country The best time to visit is from April to November.

Formally Saigon, this vibrant exciting city with a skyline that is now dominated by towering high rises, five – star resorts and international shopping chains. Ho Chi Minh is also famous for its food, from street eating to haute cuisine and the influence of French staples. Ho Chi Minh makes a great base to then explore the tunnels at Chu Chi, the Cao Dai temple at Tay Ninh or jet off to the sublime Con Dao, and of course the entire Mekong Delta to explore.

Hoi An
SHORESIDE ATTRACTIONS (With special thanks to Mr. Ruurd van Putten, Nha Trang)
Da Nang There's more to Da Nang than just the gorgeous China Beach. Da Nang boasts the excellent Cham Museum, which is a great primer for a visit to My Son further to the south. The city also has a large Cao Dai temple, a pleasant riverfront and wide leafy boulevards. There are some good restaurant options.
In 1999, the riverside town was listed a UNESCO World Heritage site in an effort to preserve its core of historic architecture, a unique mix of Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and European styles. The majority of Hoi An's most beautiful buildings were constructed from the 15th to 19th centuries. Restaurants offer menus of local specialties and American breakfasts; tailors offer suits made in less than 24 hours. Most people who visit are charmed by this picture postcard setting.
The immediate area includes attractions like Marble Mountain, Monkey Mountain and the Ba Na.
Hill Station Ha Long Bay Ha Long Bay or ‘Bay of the Descending Dragon’is easily one of the most popular destinations in the country, this UNESCO World Heritage site is both mystical and magnificent, an incredible feat of nature that almost never fails to impress, with nearly 2000 limestone cliffs creating this breath-taking scenery. Some fishermen still live on the bay today, on floating fishing villages, set atop barges, the inhabitants catching and cultivating fish year-round.

WATERSPORTS
Vietnam's most popular beach destination, Nha Trang is the capital of Khanh Hoa province, in the south of Vietnam and sits in a spectacular setting, surrounded by paddy fields which eventually yield to a semi circle of mountains that loom over this bustling coastal centre.
Kiteboarding Asia (KBA) We received good feedback for this well established Kite surfing company, who operate 10 kite surfing schools across Thailand & Vietnam. Contacts Tel: +84 12 6757 7038 (outside Vietnam) Email: vietnam@kiteboardingasia.com Website: www.kiteboardingasia.com
The beach is perfect for a few days relaxation, where the sand stretches along the bay for 6km and for most of the year the sea is a brilliant turquoise colour. The city also has arguably the best nightlife in Vietnam outside of Saigon. Diving here is also meant to be the best in Vietnam, with great visibility and marine life that includes Reef Sharks and Stingrays. Other attractions in the surrounding area include the Ba Ho waterfalls, the mineral mud baths, the Cham Tower and Long Son Pagoda.

his incredibly friendly nation of seafarers, a skill born out of necessity due to the 7,641 Islands, offers exploration of some of the more isolated islands in SE Asia. From the Southern Mindanao region, to Luzon and North to the Visayas region, the scenery above and below water can be spectacular. Some of the World’s greatest biodiversity exists here and some consider the rice Terraces of Cordilleras one of the World’s eight wonders; they are in fact world heritage listed and a very special experience to visit. The Philippines offer iconic diving experiences and not just at Palawan but throughout the islands. Add volcanic vistas, iconic surfing breaks and islands of palm fringed sand, there is definitely something for everyone. The key marine area, of Subic Bay, offers many services and provides protected anchorages and facilities. This is a country plagued by cyclones so please refer to the recommended facilities and services for local advice. We always welcome up to date feed-back from you, with thanks. The Filipino nation is predominantly Christian and so very hospitable. Almost every corner will have a bar where the locals share their talent and love for music; you will always feel the warmth and energy of a local welcome in this vast island nation.

ndonesia has over 17,500 islands, of which about 8000 are inhabited, with over 300 languages spoken across the islands. It is a country of many different peoples, religions, cultures and customs creating some fascinating & diverse cruising destinations. Spanning a distance similar to crossing the USA, from East to West Coast, the highly diverse islands offer everything from Volcanic scenery to the infamous Komodo dragons but maybe, it is Raja Ampat that is top of the list, with breathtaking scenery for those lucky enough to experience it. There is no doubt this is a region that is enjoyed so much more with knowledgeable and reliable shore support services, simply due to mix of cultures and the mere fact that some key areas are so remote. On the other hand, there are a few marina developments underway, as we go to print, which can only enhance visits to the region.

Borneo
B
orneo came about millions of years ago when an island erupted from the sea as a single volcano. Over time smaller eruptions and earthquakes formed the island of ‘Borneo’ the third largest island in the world. Today three countries share the island: Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei. Borneo is emerging as a superyacht hub, offering stunning journeys along some of the world’s most beautiful coasts of white sandy beaches and uninhabited islands coupled with a rugged landscape of steep mountains and remote river valleys offering incredible sea and land options. Visitors to Borneo will discover tropical rainforests with some of the richest biodiversity on earth, river trips through a present-day paradise bursting with a variety of rare plants and wildlife. All this and more awaits those seeking new cruising adventures. It’s not just the journey but the travel to the different areas of Borneo that makes the cruise so interesting. To experience what mystical Borneo has to offer, the following itineraries by Asia Pacific Superyachts – Borneo offer glimpses of the fascinating discoveries found only in Borneo. The itineraries proposed (in part or whole) has been adopted by superyachts such as M/Y Mayan Queen IV, S/Y Gygnus Montanus II, M/Y Double Haven, S/Y Naos, M/Y Northern Sun, M/Y Braveheart, M/Y Andiamo, M/Y CV-9, M/Y Karima, M/Y EOS and S/Y Yanneke Too in the past few years with trips along the eastern and western coast of the Malaysian State of Sabah. NOTE: all cruising, national parks entry, anchorage and special dive permits must be applied 30 days in advance before such itinerary can be adopted on any foreign visiting yachts cruising in Borneo (Sabah) waters. Recommended best cruising month for this area to run is between March and October.

Malaysia
M
alaysia has a population of around 30 million, with 13 states and 3 federal territories. It is also separated by the South China Sea creating the Malaysian Peninsular and East Malaysia (Malaysian Borneo). The country has about a 61% Muslim population alongside massive influence from the rest of Asia, with Buddhism, Christianity & Hinduism. This, in turn, has created – arguably - the best range of food in SE Asia with a mix of Thai, Indian, Chinese and Indonesian. Malaysia has some stunning National Parks hosting some amazing creatures. En-route from Singapore to Thailand, in Langkawi, you will easily find the now not so common, Hornbill and many long tailed Macaque monkeys. The rainforest is spectacular and the beaches idyllic. Low impact tourism is a feature in Malaysia, as a whole. Marine infrastructure remains limited for large yachts and primarily exists, with some good facilities, in Langkawi about 140nm from Phuket. Due to cruising permit requirements in Thailand, Langkawi has become a major and very convenient port, particularly due to the Duty Free status. Website for further information: www.tourism.gov.my

Singapore
T
he island state of Singapore, considered one of the most successful and safe places in SE Asia, is a hub for commerce, finance and commercial shipping. The multinational companies in turn attract an international workforce, which has created a high level of infrastructure and living standards; along with this comes tourism, leisure and a thriving yachting scene. Singapore offers a massive East meets West mix, in every sense, from hawker stalls to gourmet dining with every style or taste imaginable, alongside top brand shops and local markets. They also host a great Grand Prix in September, have international concerts and sports competitions, all in all, offering just about everything you could possibly need. The strategic location of Singapore makes it an ideal point to stop and even use as a base for the region. With four major marinas, it is easy to prepare from here to explore the area, be it heading off to the remote Anambas Islands, Indonesia, Malaysia or Thailand. Also, the dry dock facilities offer professional alternatives for yard periods; the overall support is very much established and to hand in Singapore.

YACHT / BOAT SHOWS Asia Yachting Conference ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove Co-located with the Singapore Yacht Show, the Asia Yachting Conference is a vitally important B2B element of the annual show programme. It has become the goto event for leisure marine professionals from around the world to meet with business partners to network in Asia, discuss new opportunities and receive critical insights into the region’s local markets. Set to return on 18 March 2020, the day before the Yacht Show opens, with a brand-new agenda, the main speakers will be industry stakeholders (and potential stakeholders!) from China – specifically the ‘Greater Bay Area’ – and from all round this huge, yet virtually untapped region. Discussions will focus on how Asian countries with yacht tourism aspirations and a desire to grow a new leisure industry, could and should work together – particularly China with the ASEAN bloc. Topics will include developing competitive international sailing, powerboating and watersports events, growing the engagement in the on-water lifestyle at grassroots level, and attracting foreign yachts for cruising and charter.
For yachting industry professionals around the region and further abroad, this is a first-class opportunity to maximise your time out of the office amongst an exceptional network of peers, partners and prospects.

Singapore Yacht Show Message from Andy Treadwell, owner & organiser of the Singapore Yacht Show: “In view of the continuing and escalating coronavirus epidemic and the likely effect it would have on attendance and participation in the Asia Yachting Conference & Singapore Yacht Show scheduled for March 2020, we reluctantly announce that it will be postponed to October 2020.” The Singapore Yacht Show (SYS) is Asia’s leading yachting and boating lifestyle show, fully supported by the global yachting industry and the Singapore Tourism Board. SYS 2020 will bring together some 16,000 affluent people looking to discover the biggest and most impressive fleet of boats and superyachts anywhere in Asia, to engage in on-water activities and enjoy some great entertainment, parties and business networking. Held at the award-winning ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, the Show will be presenting more entertainment and activities than ever before – with new culinary experiences, workshops, car rendezvous, fashion shows, children’s zones, hospitality lounges and of course the stars of the Show – the on-water display of around 100 of the latest boats and superyachts to charter or buy, many of which will be making their debut in this part of the world.

Thailand
T
he Kingdom of Thailand, formally Siam and often referred to as “The Land of Smiles” is an engaging country, captivating those that visit. With a population of around 69.7 million, Thailand has become a strong emerging market, with major reliance on Rice, Tourism and Manufacturing markets. Famous for tropical beaches and forests that line the coasts and the limestone obelisks of Phan Nga, alongside Golden Buddha’s and temples, the rich cultures and proud history offer so much to stimulate the body and mind. Of course, the infamous Thai cuisine will have you hooked…if you are not already! The Government has been supportive of growth within the marine industry and as a founding member of ASEAN sees Phuket as a “Marine Hub” for the region. Government focus has also turned to the East Coast, with plans to create a new economic corridor as this side of Thailand, obviously, links to the rest of SE Asia. Thailand, as it is for ever evolving, is a country where it is strongly recommended to use local yacht services and to take heed of the knowledge shared, by those that live and work there. “Respect” is key in Thailand, in fact in Asia, and as long as this is remembered, the Land of Smiles will captivate you. Please make sure you check all visa and yacht permit needs prior to arrival; it is best to check with your agent. This country is rapidly changing so we really appreciate your support, with new and updated recommendations, thank you! For further information, visit www.tourismthailand.org

BOATYARD / SHIPYARD / HAUL OUT Phuket Boat Lagoon 22/1 Moo 2 Thepkrasattri Rd., Kohkaew, Muang, Phuket, 83000 Thailand Phuket Boat Lagoon - Thailand’s Premier Marina Phuket Boat Lagoon is Phuket’s first integrated marina complex. Officially opened in 1994, the Marina is situated at the end of a two-mile creek called Klong Tha Rua on the East Coast of Phuket in Southern Thailand. The circular marina provides moorings for vessels up to 32m LOA. Most sailors consider the complex to be on a par with other leading marinas across the globe. Located strategically in the center of Phuket Island, traffic from the international airport using the main highway must pass their entrance in order to get to Phuket town or the west coast beaches, so they are 20 km from the airport, 8 km to Phuket town and 15 km to Kata, Karon & Patong beaches. Intended to be a marina first; and with increased demand and need, hardstand facilities were introduced with travel lift services. As the marine industry in Thailand took a greater step, with Phuket being the region’s hub, vast opportunity was shining for Phuket Boat Lagoon’s expansion. With international yachting and marine businesses making Phuket and Phuket Boat Lagoon as their base, there was need for this complex to grow.

Myanmar (ex Burma)
M
yanmar is very much an attraction for visiting yachts with the old port of Myeik and the Mergui Archipelago, off the Southern coast, being the key draw due to the ancient history, stunning, undeveloped shorelines and its pristine beaches. Offering idyllic, private anchorages there is still a sense of adventure when visiting this country. Having gone through a 60 year period or so of ‘no tourism’, this amazing country has preserved ways of life and natural habitats that are no longer visible in some other parts of Asia. For example, the traditional Sea Gypsy life remains an important way of living amongst the 800 odd islands of the Mergui group. A few resorts have developed in the area but logistics still keep them in check, regarding any grand scale and thus the pristine beauty of the area is maintained. Of course, for the more adventurous it is possible to head further north and navigate the river to Yangon, where the tradition of Myanmar is now starting to mix with the western world. The current rules in place mean you must always have a local guide onboard and you are strongly advised to use a yacht agent for all permits and permissions. Supplies are limited so once again, a trip to Myanmar needs pre-planning with your chosen agent. www.tourism.gov.mm/about-myanmar

The Indian Ocean
A
sia, Africa and Australia surround the Indian Ocean, along with India, The Malay & Arabic peninsulas. Within the Indian Ocean are the six island nations of Comoros, Madagascar, Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles and Sri Lanka. Needless to say there is a vast diversity of cultures, level of development or remoteness and of course topography in this region. Marine facilities have been developing slowly and to a high level within many of the region’s islands and continent. At present, a massive land reclamation “Dubai Style”, marina complex is under development in The Maldives. While remoteness may be part of the attraction for visiting this region, almost everything can be available with proper research, planning and a good shore support team. However, emerging markets while obviously not Western can often surprise, as well as frustrate, with the services and facilities they offer. Within this chapter we have recommendations for security services, key yacht services agents as well as many other listings which will help create positive experiences of the region. Of particular note are The Maldives, which are becoming more popular, year on year, as a transit stop between The Mediterranean and SE Asia, of course offering some of the World’s best diving.

he Andaman & Nicobar Islands, some 410nm from Phuket and about 1086 nm from Colombo, Sri Lanka make them a great stop over, but note they require Indian visas.
The Nicobar Islands remain closed to visitors in order to protect 2 indigenous tribes. To visit The Andaman Islands, at the time of going to print, permits are needed, along with a planned itinerary. While tourism is growing, The Andamans offer some stunning scenery and unique cultural experiences. Of particular beauty is Barren Island, an active volcano offering some incredible diving. However, restrictions may be in place so we remind you to respect them along with the local culture and customs in this remote part of the world. The vast continent of India is also slowly opening up to the yachting world, offering some stimulating experiences culturally & visually, by land and sea. With a growing marine service industry, very much on hand to help guide and support, be it for tourism, clearance needs or maintenance. We really look forward to your feedback on this fascinating and emerging cruising area.

he Maldives are an Island nation of stunning fringe reefs and atolls. The amazing water clarity and sea life offers some of The World's best diving making it a key reason to visit these many uninhabited, islands and atolls. The Maldives have very much increased in popularity for visiting yachts and in turn, some massive marina infrastructure is now under way. Being an island nation, it relies heavily on air & sea transport for supplies and simply getting from A to B, making the services available extremely knowledgeable in this region. The development of high end resorts has also created very modern and high-tech systems on these inhabited islands but it must please be noted to respect local customs, particularly when on the islands inhabited primarily by locals, which are predominantly Muslim with a growing Chinese influence, due to investments in the region… As the strategic position and undeniable beauty of the waters grows in popularity, we look forward to your personal feedback and recommendations.

Seychelles
A
n archipelago of 115 islands stretching over an area of about 700 nm, this piece of paradise offers tropical beaches, coral reefs, rainforests and land side nature reserves, and is also home to some rare creatures such as the giant Aldabara Tortoise.
The local people have a reputation of being very friendly and welcoming, with a creole heritage and charm. Creole and French is widely spoken. The island of Mahe hosts the capitol of Victoria, which is the only Port of entry and exit by sea. There is an overall population of about 96,000 people. Since these islands are outside of the cyclone belt they offer year round cruising, with the North West Monsoon from November to April, with March & April generally being the hottest, driest periods. The 41 granite inner islands are rocky with peaks close to 1000 m featuring impressive granite boulders and seascapes. It is here that the main inhabited islands with most services and facilities are found: Mahe, Praslin and La Digue. The inner islands offer stunning beaches and coves and are most sheltered. UNESCO heritage site “Vallee de Mai” with the famous coco de mer palm trees is found on the island of Praslin. The more exposed 72 Coraline outer islands, include the UNESCO heritage site of Aldabra, the largest atoll on earth. These islands offer high quality services, with a friendly Franco-Creole charm. Most provisions are readily available, the superb marina offers that ease of management and there are some wonderful high end resorts for guests to enjoy, all set in idyllic surroundings.

Sri Lanka
T
his “teardrop” shaped island, South of India offers a remarkable amount of diversity in such a small area. It is independent and in fact officially called “The Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka”. With 8 UNESCO heritage sites and 15 National Parks, alongside a culture going back 2,500 years, this is a captivating island. Sri Lanka has recently waived visa fees for many key countries, in an effort to try and ease bureaucracy. While they are working on attracting the superyacht industry to their facilities there are still many hoops to jump through and all costing something! Having said this, some successful new builds and also refits, such as of Kalizma, are coming out of Sri Lanka. Presently there is a small-sized marina in the Port of Galle which is being upgraded and able to accept smaller superyachts. As part of the re-development of Colombo Port City, plans are being realized for building a larger marina capable of accommodating superyachts in the near to midterm future. For refit and repair purposes there are two companies able to accept superyachts with dry docks up to 150 m and able to provide the necessary services: Colombo Dockyard and Walkers Colombo Shipyard.

The Middle East
T
he Middle East, part of the old spice routes midway between Europe and Asia (‘Middle East’) usually includes the Arab countries from Egypt east to the Persian Gulf, plus Israel and Iran. Turkey is sometimes considered part of the Middle East however, for our purpose Turkey is within the Eastern European version of the Superyacht Services Guide. As an integral part of the spice route, both ancient and modern, this exotic region hosts markets and “bazaars or souks”, so rich in culture they really stagger the senses, with gold & jewels, fabrics, antiquities and of course, all those spices. The history of the religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam lay their foundations from these lands; a visit to Jerusalem or Bethlehem is awe-inspiring, whatever your faith may be. Then there are archeological sites such as Petra, settled in around 9000 BC, the Pyramids, palaces of past rulers and ancient streets, breathing history through todays inhabitants. The incredible modern cities built from the desert, in the UAE, host everything from World Cup Football & Grand Prix’s to indoor ski slopes! The marine facilities are first class, as are the supporting services who after all, are catering to some of the wealthiest and most discerning customers possible. While “piracy” seems to have become almost non-existent, it is still strongly advised to plan security, especially when transiting the Red Sea to the Arabic Coasts or elsewhere. Some highly recommended services have been included in this Guide and we would always love to hear further recommendations or feedback. Also recommended are some Yacht Service Agents who will help with the immigration, visa and permit challenges. These guys have been long established and we gather are extremely helpful with itineraries etc as well. Finally, a gentle reminder to respect the customs and laws of each country, to avoid unnecessary issues. Please contact us with any services that you feel deserve to be listed, we always appreciate hearing from you.

Port Said & The Gulf of Suez / Red Sea
P
ort Said is the Egyptian City at the northern end of the Suez Canal. Opened in 1869, the 160 km of canal links The Mediterranean with the Red Sea. As this is one of the most important waterways in the world, it is also one of the most heavily used shipping lanes in the world! Pilots are required to transit the canal from either direction. The vessel may be required to wait for entry time into the canal so it is important to be organised ahead with your chosen pilot. Immigration formalities are simple with no visas issued if the yacht is simply waiting to transit the canal. Please follow all Egyptian Formalities and contact a trusted agent – as we have heard that clearance fees can vary.
