Throughout the past 6 months, Asia Yachting has organized two separate brokerage boat shows in Hong Kong, involving 10 individual brokerage yachts on the Hong Kong market. Brokerage boats involved the shows range from 40ft. to 100ft., including well-known brands from Azimut, Ferretti, Sunseeker, Monte Carlo Yachts, and Princess, to Asian boat makers like Horizon and Heysea.

Since the inauguration of Asia Yachting’s brokerage boat shows, the company has successfully sold a number of brokerage boats with many more deals in the making. With similar events coming up in 2017, Asia Yachting is keen to connect with owners who are struggling to sell their yacht.

Monte Carlo Yachts’ flagship was awarded in the prestigious Wings & Water Category (yachts from 100 to 195 feet) at the 57th Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

Monte Carlo Yachts’ flagship, the MCY 105, has been celebrated by the American public during its official American Premiere at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show where more than 400 people attended the exclusive cocktail prepared for the occasion. The MCY 105 was also awarded with the prestigious Robb Report BEST OF THE BEST award in the Wings & Water Category (yachts from 100 to 195 feet), a great success for the company as this award-winning 32-meter yacht enters the American market.

Robb Report’s annual Best of the Best awards, the connoisseur’s guide to the world’s finest new automobiles, yachts, hotels, watches, wines, and more. Hand selected by the editors at Robb Report, the awards highlight over 150 Best of the Best award winners with hallmark brands including McLaren, Bottega Veneta, Rolls-Royce, Vacheron Constantin, Chanel, Ermenegildo Zegna, Mandarin Oriental, Hermès, Kiton, Breguet, Bentley, Ducati and Embraer.

This is what Michael Verdon from Robb Report wrote about the winning MCY 105: “Two things in particular distinguish this Italian-made 105-footer: an inventive interior and a short build time. The full-beam master suite is located in the bow – instead of amidships – and measures 484 square feet. That’s the size of a 150-foot yacht’s master suite. Monte Carlo Yachts builds the interior spaces and the hull concurrently, completing the inside as a single, separate module and then inserting it into the hull. The process cuts the build time to less than 6 months, which is half as long as it would take to finish a yacht this size using a traditional construction method.”

At 32 meters, the MCY 105 is the largest in the collection to date, and a most tangible exemplification of both the company’s vision and best expression of Monte Carlo Yacht’s timeless style and the naval allure of the MCY collection. Featuring the MCY collection’s iconic design elements such as a perfect balance of the hull and superstructure, a painstaking attention given to proportions, and an inherent dynamism of the lines coupled with a glowing distribution of light in the interiors, the MCY 105 is elegant and instantly recognisable, and the imposing bulwarks and high bow award the boat with the naval allure so distinctive of the timeless MCY style.

“We’re extremely proud of the MCY 105’s debut in the USA and the Best of the Best award received by Robb Report”, said Carla Demaria, president of Monte Carlo Yachts. “The American continent is a key market for Monte Carlo Yachts, and the excitement around the MCY 105’s American Premiere during the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is a clear demonstration that we’re sailing in the right direction.”

To date, the MCY 105 has won a number of international awards, including the prestigious “Most Innovative Yacht” trophy at the Cannes Yachting Festival and the “International Yacht and Aviation” Award for its interior design.

Asia Yachting’s brokerage department held its second brokerage boat show, this time during the evening at the Aberdeen Boat Club Middle Island facilities on November 3^rd and 4^th from 4pm to 9pm each day. The event attracted media and boat lovers from all around the Asia Pacific region.

Asia Yachting aims to gather and show the best brokerage yachts available in the market through each brokerage show. On display were 6 yachts ranging from 42ft. to 82ft., including the Princess 42, Azimut 58, Princess 64, Monte Carlo Yachts 65, Horizon 78, and Heysea 82. The venue was decorated with vibrant lighting to show Hong Kong the beauty of yachting during the evening. Accompanied by canapes and drinks, the event received appraisal from both visitors and industry professionals alike.

The Asia Yachting Weekend Brokerage Boat Show earlier in July led to the successful sales of 3 brokerage yachts on display to clients from around the Asia Pacific region.

Asia Yachting has more than 8 years of history in new yacht sales, yacht management, charter, and boat brokerage in Hong Kong and Asia. The team is highly familiar and experienced with the ever-evolving market, making them the perfect people to go to for brokerage listings and new yacht purchase.
