What Asia Pacific Superyachts does

Asia Pacific Superyachts (APS) is a Singapore-headquartered superyacht agency network founded in 2008 that operates 15 regional offices across 17 countries spanning South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Asia, Oceania, and the Indian Ocean (Thailand, Indonesia, Maldives, Seychelles, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Malaysia, Philippines, Fiji, New Zealand, Tahiti, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Borneo, and the Andaman Islands). The company provides full-service agency support to superyacht owners, captains, and charter operators cruising the Asia Pacific region, including clearance formalities (immigration, customs, cruising permits), dockage and marina arrangements, bunkering, provisioning, repairs coordination, itinerary planning, helicopter and private jet logistics, and concierge services.

Each regional office is staffed by owner-agents who are described as experienced superyacht captains and maritime professionals, with co-founders Gordon Fernandes (Phuket), Captain Charlie Dwyer (Koh Samui), and Captain Scott Walker (Singapore/Malaysia) anchoring the network. The business model is professional-services based: APS charges customized service fees per yacht visit, with no public pricing. Revenue mechanics depend on episodic high-value engagements tied to individual superyacht itineraries, with multiple customer testimonials publicly available from captains of vessels including M/Y Karima, M/Y Helix, S/Y Maltese Falcon, S/Y Blue Too, and over 50 yachts listed on the website.

Distribution is direct: APS services are delivered solely through its owned regional offices with no resellers or intermediaries. The company grows demand via industry events (Monaco Yacht Show, Thailand International Boat Show, Southeast Asia Yachting Conference, Singapore Yachting Festival), content marketing (15 region-specific brochures plus a monthly newsletter), and association memberships (APSA Premium, TYBA). The firm has received regional recognition including the LUXlife Travel & Tourism Awards 2026 ('Best Super/Luxury Yacht Services & Management Business – APAC') and APAC Insider 'Superyacht Care Agency of the Year 2023.' No external funding, parent company, subsidiaries, or technology platform are disclosed; APS operates as an independent, privately held network.
