Every September Monaco plays host to a yachting showcase like no other. The Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) always presents a stellar line-up of extraordinary, one-off superyachts built by the world’s most esteemed shipyards.
This year, the Kata Rocks Superyacht Rendezvous (KRSR) team made its presence felt at the world’s leading superyacht show with a busy schedule of meetings with owners, builders, designers, brokers, luxury goods brands plus yachting and luxury lifestyle media.
However, all work and no play is not part of the KRSR experience, so we also made sure to attend as many of great parties as possible in support of our partners. While too numerous to list here, top celebrations of the luxury superyacht lifestyle included the Camper & Nicholsons Soirée attended by over 400 guests, and the Boat International & Burgess event. We look forward to returning next year and thanks again to our partners for making it all possible.
Back on the water
These stunning superyachts caught our eye and proved most popular in show:
JUBILEE + CLOUD 9 (Burgess)
Jubilee stands out not only because of its size (100 m) but the way its exterior (by Lobanov Design) so elegantly comprises six decks. Cloud 9 lived up to its name when the 74 m superyacht made its debut in Monaco.
AQUARIUS + SAVANNAH (Feadship)
The 92 m Aquarius combines a near perfect marriage of interior and exterior for a seamless integration with the sea. The iconic 78 m Savannah with its Philippe Starck design remains a benchmark of elegance since its launch in 2012.
ASTON MARTIN
Where sportscar meets sport boat. Each of the impressive bespoke new Aston Martin 37 powerboats, with a speed of up to 50 knots, offers the perfect balance of design and engineering, performance and comfort, luxury and functionality.
MERCEDES MINI YACHTS
Mercedes has also throw its hat into the ring with the new Arrow460-Grantourismo. This branding collaboration with a marquee car brand positions the GT460 as the marine cousin to leading luxury automotive sedans like the Mercedes S-Class.
ASIA’S PREMIER SUPERYACHT EVENT
Ready for Thailand’s busiest charter season ever:
Now we turn our attention to the KRSR after the positive feedback we received from partners and media in Monaco.
“The KRSR really set the bar last year and we had some great conversations with owners at Monaco about attending the event this year, as the perfect way to kick off the Asian charter season. It is already established as the leading luxury superyacht event in Asia as owners look for alternative cruising grounds and new charter opportunities.”
Stewart Campbell, Editor Boat International
“Boat Lagoon Yachting is one of Asia’s largest importers and distributor of luxury yachts in South East Asia, representing some of the most prestigious brands in the world of yachting. We have been the sole distributor of Princess Yachts since 1995 and are proud to showcase the exquisite Princess 32M superyacht at the eagerly awaited Kata Rocks Superyacht Rendezvous 2017. KRSR is the right platform at the right time, showcasing the region as the world’s leading new superyacht hot spot.”
Vrit Yongsakul, Managing Director Boat Lagoon Yachting
With just two months left before The KRSR, we look forward to welcoming owners and esteemed guests to Phuket in December. More news and updates coming soon…
