The Yacht Sales Co and Multihull Solutions outline Asian expansion

The Yacht Sales Co and Multihull Solutions have announced a new sales centre, new senior appointments and new brands to their Asian portfolio.

The sibling companies will open a third Thailand sales centre on 1 April 2023, at Ocean Marina Jomtien in Chon Buri. The companies’ other two Thai sales centres are in Phuket’s Boat Lagoon and Yacht Haven Marina.

The Yacht Sales Co and Multihull Solutions are exclusive Southeast Asia dealers for several luxury brands, including Fountaine Pajot, Maritimo, Neel Trimarans, Cora Cat, Absolute Yachts (Thailand), Dufour Yachts (Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore) and Tesoro Yachts (Thailand and Singapore).

In March 2023, MIN reported that Australian boatbuilder Maritimo had appointed The Yacht Sales Co as the firm’s exclusive dealer for southeast Asia.

A new sales facility is also planned to open in Hong Kong in late 2023, as well as a larger new sales centre in Sentosa in Singapore, resulting in a total of seven offices in the region. The companies also have sales centres and consultants based in the Philippines and Malaysia.

As part of this expansion, the companies have announced several new appointments, including Nicolich Boby Noman as southeast Asia service manager, Jim Poulson as the region’s Maritimo brand manager, Orawan Langjew as brokerage and administration assistant, and Toon Scholten as assistant manager of the new Ocean Marina Jomtien sales centre, with the southeast Asia team led by general manager Paul Stamp.

“We are proud to represent a discerning selection of the world’s finest brands in the region,” says chief executive officer Mark Elkington.

“This additional infrastructure and personnel investment represents our firm commitment to further developing Southeast Asia’s yachting industry and bringing the very highest standards of service to all clients across our growing sales network.”
