Motor Yacht Acquisition in Asia
Every acquisition begins in Asia. We source motor yachts through the mature — and largely private — brokerage market of South-East Asia, where quietly-held vessels rarely reach a public listing. Our partners on the ground in Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Phuket and beyond bring us hulls that never surface through European channels. The vessel is then prepared for whichever market the owner calls home.
- Written acquisition brief and target-vessel profile
- Discreet off-market search across South-East Asia and the wider region
- Independent technical and structural pre-purchase survey
- Sea trials, valuation, negotiation and counter-offer strategy
- Contract, escrow, MOA and closing counsel with Asian maritime lawyers
- Ownership structuring, flag advice and beneficial-owner discretion
02
Refinement & Refurbishment in Asia
The heart of the practice. We refit and refine yachts at a selected circle of yards in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam — where the standard of craftsmanship, the price of skilled labour, and the availability of dry-dock capacity together allow work that would be impossible, or imprudent, in Europe. From a subtle interior renewal to a full ten-year refit, we assemble the yard, the designers, the cabinetmakers and the class surveyors, and hold the programme together on your behalf.
- Interior architecture, joinery, upholstery and materials specification
- Full systems, propulsion, tankage and electrical refits
- Class survey (Lloyd's, RINA, BV) and MCA / LY3 compliance
- Paint programmes, teak decks and exterior refinement
- Curated Asian yard selection and daily on-site oversight
- Sourcing of art, furniture, tenders and toys
03
Transport & Documentation — Asia to Home Waters
Once refined, a vessel must find its way home. We manage the full onward passage from the Asian yard to the owner's cruising ground — whether the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, the Caribbean or the Northern European coast — either on her own keel with a delivery crew, or as deck cargo aboard a semi-submersible yacht carrier. Every certificate, stamp and formality is presented as a single, quiet dossier at handover.
- Delivery captain, engineer and crew selection
- Own-keel passage planning, bunkering and weather routing
- Yacht-carrier bookings (Sevenstar, DYT, Peters & May)
- Flagging: Malta, Cayman, Marshall Islands, RIF and others
- Customs, VAT, temporary admission and cross-border formalities
- Marine hull, P&I and crew insurance placement

End-to-End Project Management
A single point of counsel across every yard, broker, craftsman and authority — from the day a brief is written to the season the vessel enters service in home waters. One project director, one master programme, one accountable partner. The principal receives written reporting; everything else is held by the house.
- Master project timeline and consolidated budget control
- Weekly written reporting and monthly on-site inspections
- Single point of contact across Europe and Asia time zones
- Coordination of yards, class, flag, lawyers and insurers
- Handover dossier: certificates, drawings, warranties, manuals
- Post-delivery stewardship through the first season at sea
