The sailing yachts, which included a Lagoon 450, two Beneteau Oceanis 50s and an Oceanis 34 stayed overnight at the club.

This rendezvous included several new-comers, showing that the family continues to grow, with this year’s youngest boater only two-years old.

TIOMAN RENDEZVOUS GOES ISLAND-HOPPING IN MALAYSIAN PARADISE

Simpson Marine’s annual Tioman Rendezvous to Tioman Island off Malaysia’s east coast waters took place 6 to 9 June, and once again emphasised the beauty and pleasure of yachting in Asian waters.

Sailors enjoyed four days of sun, sand and sea as they island-hopped between Pulau Sibu, Pulau Tulai, Pulau Tioman and Pulau Pemanggil, while enjoying a beautiful sunset at Rimba Resort on Saturday night.

The goal of this event is to introduce owners to new Asian sailing destinations and also promote the yachting lifestyle. For some cruisers this was their first trip to these islands and the event once again proved an enjoyable introduction to the region’s yachting potential.

YACHT SHOW 2015

The 2015 Singapore Yacht Show at ONE°15 Marina, Sentosa Cove gave Simpson Marine the chance to show off some of the newest, most eyecatching yachts in the industry. The fleet tied up at our docks included the Monte Carlo Yachts 70 and the Lagoon 630 Motor Yacht. We also brought a Beneteau Sense 55, a Swift Trawler 34, a Monte Carlo 4 and 5 and more.

This was the Asian debut of the Lagoon 630 MY, a motor catamaran with an abundance of living space. The interior layout is extremely flexible with the option to have five or six cabins and a galley up or galley down layout. She has excellent, proven seagoing qualities that open up blue water motor cruising to a whole new market.

Simpson Marine sold two Lagoon 630 catamarans at the show, helped by a cocktail party aboard the yacht hosted in partnership with Fortune Times Magazine and luxury swimwear brand KBLU Swim.
