20 for ’22: Ones to watch in 2022

BY APB STAFF on 10 Jan 2022

As the luxury yacht industry continues to boom, and stakeholders react to shifting demands and unpredictable supply chains, 2022 is set to be a year filled with both surprises and successes across Asia-Pacific. We pick 20 dynamic people making things happen in APAC’s yachting industry this year. Meet our “20 for ’22” below:

Paul Whelan, country manager, Simpson Marine, Indonesia

Whelan is planning a number of boating activities for this year, such as a Lagoon Rendezvous and a fishing tournament. His endeavours have been aided by a supportive Indonesian government, which has facilitated a plethora of projects across the archipelago, such as the redevelopment of Labuan Bajo: the gateway to Komodo National Park.

Paul Whelan has led the way in growing an emerging market. We’ll definitely be keeping an eye on him in 2022.

Bart Kimman, director, Yacht Strategies, Hong Kong

For decades, Hong Kong has had a chronic shortage of moorings and berths for yachts. Kimman, who previously worked at Camper & Nicholsons’ Hong Kong office, announced in the summer of 2021 that he planned to open 600 mooring spaces in Hei Ling Chau typhoon shelter through his new firm, Delta Marina, and that he would open a service station in the shelter and provide a high-speed water ferry service from Aberdeen and Central to the shelter.

The water taxi, built by Kingship, then entered the water later that year . We are eagerly awaiting news on developments at Hei Ling Chau with Delta Marina. Given the popularity of this story, plenty of other yacht owners in Hong Kong are also anticipating updates. Bart Kimman, as a man who may finally be providing much-needed berthing spaces in Hong Kong at long last, is definitely one to watch in 2022.

Nigel Beatty, chairman of Asia-Pacific Superyacht Association (APSA), Japan; owner, Super Yacht Logistics

Beatty and his associate at SYL Japan, Kenta Inaba, recently announced a major update to regulations governing foreign-flagged superyacht visits to Japan. With more superyachts likely to visit Japan in the years to come, expect to see Beatty in the headlines more in 2022.

Now as an associate of Yachtzoo (international superyacht brokerage) he spends his time between Monaco and Tokyo. Beatty feels that “APSA’s unique position in the superyacht industry obliges us to push forward responsibly and sustainably whilst promoting business growth, starting with signing the Water Revolution Foundation Code of Conduct in Monaco in 2021.”

Charlotte Ho, director, hospitality, marketing & membership, Lantau Yacht Club, Hong Kong

Adam Waters, general manager for Princess Yachts Greater China, says Ho has been instrumental in liaising with the community. “Charlotte has been proactive and helpful in welcoming our Princess Yacht owners as new members, and has been successful in engaging the industry for events and partnerships at the marina.”

Tresno Seery, director, Silolona Sojourns, Indonesia

Tresno was born in West Java and studied naval architecture in the US. He confirmed to Asia-Pacific Boating last year that he will continue what his mother started in 022.

“There was never any question that I would carry on the legacy my mother built,” Tresno says. “All of Patti’s vision is still very much on the cards, including the building of bigger ships and new destinations (in Indonesia). Of course, with Covid-19, these have been put on pause, but they remain very much on the cards.”

Lawrence Chow, project manager, China Pacific Marine Dealership; chair of the Hong Kong Boating Industry Association, Hong Kong

“The HKBIA has been planning a boat show at Lantau Yacht Club in Hong Kong since the start of the 2021,” says Chow. “Due to the uncertainties of Omicron, the dates of the show will be announced later. We believe an industry-led show will spotlight the positive impact that boating has on our economy and community in Hong Kong.” Chow also reports strong boat sales throughout 2021, and says he expects this to continue in 2022.

Frank Hsu, GM of Frank Yachts, official Azimut dealer, Guangdong China Area, Shenzhen, China

“From day one he was steadily investing in the business and growing his team – he recently doubled the size of his Azimut Yachts showroom in Shenzhen Bay. Establishing excellent connections in Guangdong area communities, Frank’s Azimut Yacht sales are growing year on year with 2022 set to be his best to date. The arrival of three new Azimut Flybridge models – the 53, 68 and 78 – are confirmed for Shenzhen. Frank has plans to continue to expand his business, with which he has our full support. He is a great brand ambassador for Azimut Yachts in China.”

Evita Sham, customer relations manager, Pacific Leisure Boat, Hong Kong

Sham is passionate about the sea and is a keen wakesurfer herself. Also holding a Hong Kong pleasure vessel grade II licence, she uses these skills to help her clients learn how to use their Radinn boards and gives insightful demonstrations of Saxdor Yachts to potential owners. Sham says her favourite aspect of her role is “helping customers find something they love and that brings them joy – this inspires me to do better and provide the best experience for them.”

Tee Tzer-Yu, co-founder, Amal Yachting, Taipei, Taiwan

“Taiwanese yacht owners care a lot about living spaces on a boat; hence speedy yachts like Pershings have not aroused much interest yet,” says Tee. “Nevertheless, we believe when the market becomes more mature, there will be a number of inquiries for [sporty] brands.”

And looking forward, he sees the potential for another Ferretti Group brand in the region. “Japan is a popular destination for Taiwanese yacht owners; hence Custom Line’s large, adaptable spaces, extraordinary performance and contemporary design appeals to the Taiwanese market.” Adamant that yacht sales “should not be limited to a one-day transaction”, Tee says he is focused on “offering the best products, experiences, after-sales and customer services such as captain and crew sourcing.”

Erwan Her, sales director Asia-Pacific, Beneteau Yachts, Beneteau Group office manager, Hong Kong

“Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore are the biggest markets, but our yachts sales are all over Asia,” he continues. “Together with our dealers, we constantly look for new ways to entertain our clients. Across Group brands, during the pandemic, we created Boating Rendezvous events to showcase yachts in private and safe environments in the APAC region.”

Her and his team are also extending sailing in places where it’s less common, including Thailand and the Philippines. “Our local partners have sailing schools with our First range – to introduce new ways to enjoy water activities,” he says. “We also held the Beneteau Cup in Hong Kong – a very big success last year. We are already working on the second edition with [dealership] Simpson Marine, planned for May 2022.” Her says it’s a very busy year for Beneteau, as the brand will also be launching a number of boats. “Of the new models, we are very excited to launch the First 36, which the sailing community has been waiting for.”

Martin Lo, director, CL Yachts, Hong Kong

Lo’s bold and holistic approach resonated with clients seeking a luxury on-water lifestyle. He outlined a plan for expanding his product portfolio to target different segments, from family-oriented owners to adventure seekers. “Each vessel exemplifies CL Yachts’ core values of innovative design, cutting-edge technology, seaworthiness, and exceptional craftsmanship, all aimed to redefine the luxury yachting experience,” he says. “Moving forward, CL Yachts will further develop its global sales network in strategic markets.”

Charles Massey, head, Sevenstar Yacht Transport – Hong Kong

Bigger yachts need bigger transport to match. In December 2021, Sevenstar’s sister company DYT Yacht Transport launched a newbuild from Yantai Shipyard in China. The 213m, semi-submersible Yacht Servant has 30 per cent more deck space than her sister ships, and will sail on a liner service in 2022 and beyond. We’ve got our eyes peeled for her appearance in Asia.

Vivian Chan, director, VP Yachts, Hong Kong

It’s the stellar reputation of the yard, which Chan made much tidier on the eye since she arrived, that backed the confidence of the three yachts that she sold in one calendar year since November 2020. VP Yachts became the Hong Kong dealership for Sessa after selling that first Fly 68 Gullwing – with Chan then going on to sell one each of the Fly 47 and Cruiser Line C38.

Matthew Keay, general manager, Marine Service Asia, Hong Kong

The increase in vessel sales through the pandemic has introduced customers who are new to the space, who rightly expect a modern and professional approach to handling maintenance and technical services.” Keay has implemented new initiatives, such as a package that handles all aspects of preventive maintenance and system services supported by in-house technical management, allowing clients worry-free time on the water.

Nicolas Monges, managing director, Asia Global Yachting, Indonesia

AGY is currently the exclusive dealer for Ferretti Yachts and Pershing in Indonesia, and Nuova Jolly, an Italian brand of fast open yachts, in Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore. AGY is also the central charter agent for yachts such as Maha Bhetra , Harmony , Tiger Lily and The Maj Oceanic in Indonesia.

The big question now: will crypto be the story of the year in 2022? Monges is betting on it. Don’t be surprised if others follow.

Danny Tao, CEO, ePropulsion, China

Tao founded ePropulsion in 2012 at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and the company now has its production and headquarters in China. The company recently announced that its new R&D centre would be based in Hong Kong. In a report by Asia-Pacific Boating , the company said it is in discussions with yacht builders to provide a new range of electric motors. In December, ePropulsion expanded its Asia network with two new distributors: Badaro Yacht Co in South Korea, and Motorium, based in Phuket. We will be paying close attention to Danny Tao and his next triumphs in 2022.

Gordon Hui, senior broker, Hong Kong

“Since the summer of 2020 I have met with many top brands and their Asia distributors, discovering new product ranges with fantastic designs. Ferretti Group’s Riva, Ferretti Yachts, Wally and Pershing, as well as some from Sanlorenzo in Italy, and also the amazing new range from Princess, UK: all impress,” he says.

“These brands seem to be dominating the Asia market. In entry-level boating, great for many families, I have come across my favourite Galeon range – their 325 to 500 range with balconies and luxury options – turning a manageable size boat into a very spacious floating platform, similar to already-popular Lagoon catamarans. In larger custom yachts, fantastic designs and successful sales come from Benetti and Ferretti Group Custom Line, CRN; and Sanlorenzo – from Italy. Hopefully, we’ll get to see some sales from Dutch shipyards, like Heesen.”

Godfrey Zwygart, managing director at Marevisio Co. Ltd, Sanya, China

“The latest craze, wakesurfing, has proven super popular with the younger crowds and with ladies. Two years ago, only two boats were providing this service here, and now there are over 80 boats doing so in Sanya only,” Zwygart says.

He adds that the laws need to be clearer for larger yachts before progress is made. Zwygart, who set up a consultancy firm early last year, also reports that he is working on training courses for superyacht crews in China. Whether the new craze for on-water action among China’s younger clientele continues after Covid remains to be seen. No doubt, Zwygart will be pushing authorities to keep riding the wave.

Frankie Chau, co-founder and MD, Nextwave, Hong Kong

It was a big year for Chau and the expanding brokerage and yachting services on offer at Nextwave . In 2021, the company launched a showroom for Sunseeker yachts – which it began distributing in Hong Kong – in the glamorous locale of Repulse Bay.

“This visible location has LED displays covering three walls to create a 3D experience like walking onto a Sunseeker yacht,” Chau explains, “while having onboard fabrics and materials that we can show people.” Nextwave’s charter team has an upgraded fleet and now focuses on guest experience – specifically on tailor-made beach and dining packages – where 10 staff serve up to 20 guests. The water toys team, noticing a big trend in foiling and electric power, added more of these options.

Nextwave’s yacht management team launched an office in January 2022 at Lantau Yacht Club, which Chau says is “a great solution for those with yachts there.” This year also heralds a new shipyard in Hong Kong, to show Sunseeker yachts, Chau says, starting with a Manhattan 68 Pacific Edition – and an owners’ club.

Laura Verbrugge, charter broker, Asiamarine, Hong Kong

Originally from France, Laura Verbrugge, charter broker manager for Hong Kong’s Asiamarine , had sailing experience around the Mediterranean before joining Fraser Yachts in Hong Kong in 2018, and then Asiamarine. An enviable part of Verbrugge’s research has been travelling on charters around the world to develop her finely-tuned knowledge of the best yachts available for rental – as well scouting unique destinations for cruising.

Starting with a fleet of two luxury yachts in Hong Kong, she is now in charge of 15 yachts, available in Hong Kong and in Thailand. Verbrugge is most satisfied when she can organise a unique, memorable moment for a client – many express appreciations. Given the speed at which she has built up her book, and the demand for chartering in Hong Kong, expect to see more of Verbrugge dockside.

Covid caused a ‘massive spike' in yacht sales — now some of those boats are back on the market

By monica pitrelli,cnbc • published 6 hours ago • updated 4 hours ago.

Some pandemic-era yacht owners are headed back for dry land.

The pandemic spurred a "massive spike" in yacht sales, said Richard Allen, chief operating officer of the Hong Kong-based yachting company Simpson Marine.

"We've seen a lot of those people, that had their boats for two years, sort of now wanting to travel," he told CNBC. "In the last probably few months, talking with other people in the industry, we've seen an increase in brokerage activity of … boats being sold."

That was expected, said Paolo Casani, CEO of the Monaco-based yachting company Camper & Nicholsons.

"We sold, as an industry worldwide, more than the double the yachts [in 2021] than 2019," he told CNBC. When this happens, "they go to the market starting from a couple of years later."

Prices in the pre-owned market

Enthusiasm for yachting remains high, even if sales have fallen since 2021, said Casani.

Euro zone inflation steady at 2.4%, keeping June rate cut in play as economy returns to growth

Treasury yields rise ahead of Fed meeting

"The industry is going back to 2019," he said. "And we have to distinguish between brokerage and new builds, because the demand for new builds is still quite high."

With more yachts hitting the brokerage market, prices are down, albeit slightly, from pandemic-era highs, he said.

"Prices are still quite high," he said. "There is still a gap between the demand and the offer ... but we do believe that there will be still a reduction in the course of 2024."

Asia yacht growth 'less than expected'

Some yachts buyers in Asia aren't selling, though, said Allen — in fact, they're trading up for larger vessels.

"Some have actually really enjoyed the boating lifestyle, and are already upgrading … to bigger boats," he said.

Asia — a continent of rising wealth and numerous island nations, many bathed in year-round warmth — has long been viewed as the next frontier for global yacht growth.

Casani and Allen, who spoke to CNBC on April 26 while attending the second annual Singapore Yachting Festival, agreed that the continent's yachting market is growing.

But, Casani said, the pace is "less than expected" for many reasons, including culture, lifestyle and lack of infrastructure.

"But we still believe that Asia has a very high potential," he said.

Allen said the disparate and onerous "rules and regulations" in the region are thwarting progress.

"We need to make it easier for boats to move around between the region," he said. "In one country you might be able to drive a certain size boat, but then another you can't. So those sort of things — the red tape, shall we say."

Complex visa requirements for foreign boat crews are problematic, as are high import taxes, which can reach 40% in some markets, he said.

"We need to do a lot of lobbying with governments to make it easier to import boats," said Allen. "There's a lot of lobbying groups like ICOMIA … that are working much more collaboratively with the different dealers to have a voice to government."

The International Council of Marine Industry Associations, or ICOMIA for short, hosted a two-day conference ahead of the Singapore Yachting Festival to address issues the industry faces, from sustainable propulsion to the lack of marina infrastructure in high-potential countries, such as Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam.   

Beyond buying and charters

Simpson Marine estimates the global marine leisure market will reach an estimated $46.5 billion in 2027 — which it says will trickle down to the local economy through job creation and tourism revenue.

"The yachting industry employs thousands and thousands of people building boats, supporting boats, all the component servicing," said Allen. "This is a ... great industry for countries to embrace."

Newer forms of ownership make yachting less expensive, which is opening the industry to more people. One model that is especially popular in Australia is fractional, or syndicated, ownership, where owners buy a share of a yacht, he said.

Others are avoiding ownership altogether, opting for flexible subscription models, which are now the norm for many forms of entertainment, from music to television.

"We've seen massive growth in boat clubs," said Allen. "It's a bit like joining a gym or a golf club. You pay a monthly membership, and you get the use of a boat so many days a week. And that's very popular for people that don't really want all the hassle of owning a yacht."

Jakarta, 30 April 2024 – Hari ini, Microsoft mengumumkan komitmen untuk memberdayakan 2,5 juta orang di berbagai negara anggota Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) dengan keterampilan kecerdasan buatan ( artificial intelligence/AI ) hingga tahun 2025. Inisiatif pelatihan ini akan diimplementasikan melalui kerja sama dengan pemerintah, perusahaan, organisasi nirlaba, serta komunitas di Indonesia, Malaysia, Filipina, Thailand, dan Vietnam.

Komitmen Microsoft selaras dengan ASEAN Digital Masterplan 2025 dalam membangun talenta-talenta yang mahir AI di kawasan ASEAN. Komitmen ini juga merupakan bagian dari tujuan perusahaan yang lebih luas, yaitu untuk memberdayakan individu, organisasi, dan komunitas di negara-negara Asia Tenggara dalam memanfaatkan potensi AI untuk mendorong inovasi dan pertumbuhan ekonomi.

Dr. Piti Srisangnam, Executive Director ASEAN Foundation mengatakan, “Kami mengapresiasi komitmen Microsoft dalam meningkatkan keterampilan anak muda ASEAN di bidang AI, sebuah langkah penting yang selaras dengan ASEAN Digital Masterplan 2025. Dengan membangun ekosistem talenta digital yang berkelanjutan, hal ini akan memberikan kontribusi signifikan terhadap pembangunan kawasan kita.”

Komitmen pelatihan Microsoft akan berfokus pada empat bidang: membangun tenaga kerja yang inklusif dan mahir AI; menjembatani kesenjangan talenta keamanan siber; meningkatkan keterampilan AI para developer ; dan memberdayakan organisasi nirlaba untuk memaksimalkan dampak sosial mereka.

Inisiatif-inisiatif ini dibangun atas sejarah panjang Microsoft dalam membantu menutup kesenjangan keterampilan digital di negara-negara di Asia Tenggara. Selama dua tahun terakhir, sekitar 1,7 juta orang telah berpartisipasi dalam program Skills4Jobs dari Microsoft.

“Yang menarik adalah pola pikir inovatif yang sudah umum di Asia Tenggara. Berinvestasi dalam keterampilan AI sama dengan berinvestasi pada masa depan di mana pertumbuhan ekonomi bersifat inklusif, memberikan setiap orang kesempatan untuk berkontribusi dan mendapatkan manfaat. Dengan talenta-talenta kuat yang mahir dalam teknologi disruptif, Asia Tenggara berada pada posisi yang tepat untuk bersaing dalam teknologi global,” kata Andrea Della Mattea, Presiden Microsoft ASEAN .

Membangun tenaga kerja yang inklusif dan siap menyambut AI

Era digital menuntut tenaga kerja yang terampil, dan peran lembaga kejuruan akan sangat krusial dalam memberikan pelatihan praktis untuk menjawab kebutuhan serta peran yang selaras dengan industri. Microsoft akan membantu memperkuat sistem pendidikan kejuruan di seluruh kawasan Asia Tenggara untuk menyediakan keterampilan AI melalui kemitraan dengan ASEAN Foundation dan kementerian-kementerian pendidikan di 10 negara anggota ASEAN, yang akan memberi manfaat bagi sekitar 644.000 pelajar kejuruan.

Melalui program AI TEACH Indonesia dan AI TEACH Malaysia , Microsoft dan ASEAN Foundation akan memberikan pendidikan teknis dan kejuruan, serta melatih siswa dengan keterampilan AI. Microsoft juga melatih dan mengedukasi 100.000 pemuda dan pencari kerja yang kurang terlayani di bidang AI, data, serta keamanan siber melalui kemitraannya dengan Kartu Prakerja , program prakerja terbesar di Indonesia.

Selain itu, Microsoft juga meluncurkan program Keterampilan AI untuk Industri Pariwisata yang Didukung AI bersama dengan sejumlah kementerian Thailand, yakni Kementerian Ekonomi dan Masyarakat Digital, Kementerian Pariwisata dan Olahraga, Kementerian Tenaga Kerja, serta Institut Pelatihan Pendidikan Kejuruan Teknologi. Inisiatif ini akan melatih 100.000 pengusaha muda yang terlibat dalam bisnis pariwisata di provinsi-provinsi minor di kelima wilayah Thailand.

Di Filipina, Microsoft berkomitmen membekali 1 juta pelajar Departemen Pendidikan dari taman kanak-kanak hingga kelas 12 dengan keterampilan AI dan keamanan siber, memastikan kesiapan mereka untuk berkarier dan memperoleh kesempatan kerja di masa depan. Terlebih lagi, Microsoft akan memperkuat kolaborasinya dengan Otoritas Pendidikan Teknis dan Pengembangan Keterampilan (Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA)) Filipina dengan berinvestasi dalam inisiatif baru untuk membekali 100.000 pelajar perempuan TESDA dengan keterampilan AI dan keamanan siber. Inisiatif ini akan membantu mengembangkan pipeline yang terdiri dari talenta dengan bakat yang beragam untuk mendukung transformasi digital Filipina.

Microsoft juga akan memperluas kemitraannya dengan Program Pembangunan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa Asia Pasifik (United Nations Development Programme Asia Pacific) di Indonesia hingga Malaysia dan Vietnam, membantu 570.000 pemuda dari komunitas yang kurang terlayani dalam meningkatkan kemampuan serta kesiapan kerja melalui akses ke keterampilan kefasihan AI.

Membantu menjembatani kesenjangan talenta keamanan siber

Kawasan Asia-Pasifik mengalami kesenjangan keterampilan terbesar dalam tenaga kerja keamanan sibernya secara global, dengan kekurangan 2,7 juta orang di tahun 2023. Pada saat yang sama, kemampuan keamanan yang didukung AI menjadi kebutuhan dalam upaya melawan ancaman siber modern.

Sebagai bagian dari Inisiatif Pelatihan Keamanan Siber global, Microsoft telah merancang dan mengkurasi program pelatihan dengan organisasi-organisasi nirlaba untuk membantu menciptakan berbagai jalur alternatif bagi kaum muda yang kurang terlayani untuk masuk ke industri keamanan siber.

Program Ready4AI&Security Microsoft akan melatih 15.000 pemuda di Indonesia dan Malaysia, berfokus dalam menyediakan peluang bagi perempuan untuk membangun karier di bidang keamanan siber. Program ini juga menyediakan akses ke pelatihan dan sertifikasi Keamanan Microsoft.

Meningkatkan keterampilan AI para developer untuk menciptakan inovasi

Dalam rangka mendukung komunitas developer yang mencapai 7 juta orang di kawasan Asia Tenggara, Microsoft telah meluncurkan kampanye AI Odyssey Asia , yang menyoroti bagaimana Keterampilan Terapan AI Microsoft mampu memvalidasi kompetensi teknis spesifik yang dibutuhan untuk membangun aplikasi AI transformatif. Kampanye tersebut sedang berlangsung di seluruh Asia dan bertujuan melatih 30.000 developer di negara-negara Asia Tenggara, mendorong penggunaan layanan AI yang lebih masif dalam ekonomi digital.

Memberdayakan organisasi nirlaba untuk memaksimalkan dampak sosial mereka

Pada Juni 2024, Microsoft akan menggelar Pertemuan Pemimpin Organisasi Nirlaba pertamanya untuk membekali 1.500 karyawan nirlaba dengan pengetahuan dan keterampilan AI dan teknologi digital.

Microsoft juga akan menyediakan akses ke Microsoft Resources Hub dan LinkedIn for Nonprofits Resource Hub untuk organisasi nirlaba di negara-negara Asia Tenggara, guna membantu memaksimalkan dampak sosial mereka dan memimpin perubahan di era AI.
