Cruising between the Indonesian islands one is amazed at the diversity, the culture and the personality of each and every island.

CAMBODIACambodia, officially known as the Kingdom of Cambodia and once known as the Khmer Empire, is located in the southern portion of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia.

In turn, Cambodia greatly influenced Thailand, Laos and vice versa.

WHAT THE CAPTAINS SAY ABOUT US...

“Having travelled to India with the vessel previously we were dreading the thought of customs and immigration clearance. Your (Mr. Rathnam) guidance notes regarding paperwork were extremely useful and allowed us to arrange all the necessary documentation at a leisurely pace prior to our arrival. Your company also handled our many requests with great efficiency and our entire time in the region ran extremely smoothly.”Captain Mark Hol, M.Y. UM-HURAIR (ANDAMAN ISLANDS)

“Just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your hard work. You guys really do set the standard for yachting agents – so on the ball, always planning/ thinking ahead and an absolute pleasure to work with. Hopefully see you all again soon!!”Rebecca McArdell M/Y OCTOPUS (BALI, INDONESIA)

“Hi Clarence – Many thanks to you and Scott for the very professional service supplied by APS during our second stay in Singapore. We would certainly recommend your services to other vessels and will provide the positive feedback to our management company. Thanks again.”Alex Hart M.Y. INFINITY (SINGAPORE)

“Thanks so much for all your help during our stay in Fiji. We couldn’t have asked for a more friendly and helpful staff. Nothing was too difficult. You made our stay in Fiji a wonderful experience.”Captain Dave Shinn, M.Y. LADY COLUMBO (FIJI)

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the support staff at Asia Pacific Superyachts (APS) Samui for all your efforts and excellent service. The wealth of local knowledge and experience has made our visit to Koh Samui and the Gulf of Thailand a memorable, hassle-free and enjoyable experience. You and your staff were courteous, knowledgeable and a real pleasure to work with. The whole experience from check-in to departure has been exemplary. Koh Samui and its surrounding islands are a great place for a superyacht to visit and with your expertise it was an absolute pleasure.”Captain Derek Flanagan, M.Y. AMOHA (KOH SAMUI, THAILAND)

“Asia Pacific Superyachts Maldives were our agents and Mohamed and his team gave us great support throughout the Maldives on a daily basis. I would highly recommend Asia Pacific Superyachts to any yacht looking for a professional service with a ‘can do’ attitude.” Captain Christopher Russell, M.Y. TALISMAN C (MALDIVES)

“Asia Pacific Superyachts New Zealand were simply the most productive and supportive agents I have ever had the pleasure of engaging. Whether Jeanette or Janice were responding to a request from myself or from another member of crew they acted in the same manner and always went out of their way to deliver. The knowledge of Jeanette and the ability to make things happen were a great asset to have during our trip around New Zealand. Janice’s ability to make things appear as soon as the email was sent or phone call ended went into making the trip run as smooth as possible. They truly were a 24/7 support to us. I would highly recommend Asia Pacific Superyachts New Zealand to any yacht visiting the area.” Captain Andrew Smith, M.Y. A (NEW ZEALAND)

“We had the pleasure of working Asia Pacific Superyachts while based in Phuket and highly recommend to anyone going to Thailand to get in touch with Gordon and his team. Simply put, their assistance greatly helped and enhanced every aspect of our time in Thailand – from paperwork and service work to the whims of the guests and needs of the crew. Too many examples come to mind to list, so suffice it to say that no matter how small or big the task APS is well equipped to help clear up all of your headaches as well as help prevent many more. What’s more is that this incredible service is brought to you by a group of incredibly pleasant people that are a delight to work with. Likewise, if you are coming/going to/from Thailand via Malaysia and Singapore I can highly recommend using APS in those locations as well.” Captain Jonathon Allen, S.Y. JULIET (PHUKET AND MYANMAR)

“Dear Thomas, Hope this email finds you well. Just few words to express my full satisfaction for the service that Ms Fitri and her team at APS provided us during our Sorong/Raja Ampat cruise. She has been perfect. I take the chance to recommend you the dive guide who has proven to be a serious person, skilful diver and shown us a great knowledge of dive sites as well as area and anchorages for our and guest satisfaction. Thanks to all.” Captain Gabriele Sanna M.Y. Lady Candy (RAJA AMPAT, INDONESIA)

“Asia Pacific Superyachts have been greatly assisting us for the last few years in various locations; from well organised quick fuel and go in Langkawi to around the clock assistance in Singapore and Thailand for our multiple month stay. Scott and Clarence from APS were great in assisting us with all the customs and immigration requirements during our frequent guest turnovers and the inevitable last-minute changes. Having Gordon (APS Phuket) on site in the Ao Po Marina, being able to assist with on the stop translations and help us very efficiently with last minute request, made a noticeable difference in our demanding schedule. We are looking forward to working with APS again when we return to Asia.”Captain Elwin Bosch P.Y. QUEEN MIRI (SINGAPORE, LANGKAWI, PHUKET)

“I can honestly say that in two busy stops in Singapore, for varying duration and reason (pre owner, pre charter, crew R&R, maintenance/repair downtime) I have experienced the consistency in the types and levels of service that we require from a yacht agent. These have been provided with the honesty and integrity that I and our owner expect when someone is dealing temporarily with personal and fiscal matters relating to us and the owner. I have the utmost confidence in the abilities and integrity of Scott and his team and as such, have no hesitation in recommending them to friends and colleagues in the industry.” Captain Jerry Reid, S. Y. EOS (SINGAPORE)

“I would just like to express my thanks to you and your team of professionals for the superb help you offered over the past fourteen months while we have been in Thailand. I have used agencies worldwide and your service has exceeded my expectations in every way. From technical issues, importation of goods, sourcing, guest liaison, formalities to a host of other equally important services, Asia Pacific Superyachts Phuket have ensured that the crew and guests of Triple 8 were always taken care of in the best possible manner. I am grateful for the outstanding “can do” attitude of each member of your staff, the confident and polite manner in which they performed their duties to make our stay in Thailand completely trouble free. You have a great team, thank you to each and everyone of you. I look forward to using your services again in the future and will be recommending you highly to any boat planning to visit the SE Asia region.”Captain Nick Maccrossan M.Y.
