Clear Air, Clear Water, Healthier Yacht Crew
Life Onboard a Superyacht is Life Inside an Engineered Envelope
Air moves quietly through concealed ducting. Water is bunkered, stored, heated, and cooled; pipe runs sit warm for extended periods. Then the sudden, inevitable demand returns, and it’s all-hands-on-deck. When systems perform well, they disappear into the background. That invisibility is earned.

The Perseverance of Port Takola
A relatively new marina with a fascinating history has persevered through adversity to emerge as a challenger to the heart of Thailand’s boating industry in nearby Phuket.
The estate on which Port Takola in Krabi province, southern Thailand, was constructed has been in Matthew na Nagara’s family for over 100 years. In this time it has been a coconut plantation, shrimp farm, abandoned wasteland and, now, a full-service marina some 30 nautical miles east of Phuket.

As superyacht ownership continues to expand across Asia, more owners are beginning to ask a strategic question: Should charter form part of the ownership model?
