LOOKING TO THE FUTURE - 2015 AND BEYOND

Simpson Marine continues to build on its 30 years of experience, and 2015 brought further growth and positive changes to the company.

MONTE CARLO YACHTS - A NEW VISION FOR ASIA

Following the successful launch of Monte Carlo Yachts across SE Asia in 2014 we have extended our exclusive distributor agreement to include Mainland China and Taiwan. The exciting styling of these Italian built and designed yachts has resonated with boaters across the region who are looking for something different yet classic. Turn to pages 54 to 59 to find out more and meet the brand new flagship MCY 105 launched in Venice in Summer 2015.

INTRODUCING SANLORENZO - MADE TO MEASURE

In June 2015 Simpson Marine was appointed exclusive Asian distributor for Sanlorenzo yachts – the Italian shipyard widely recognised for their made to measure Italian design. With impeccable attention to detail each Sanlorenzo yacht becomes a unique statement of its owner’s personality and the yachts’ timeless classic lines testament to understated refined

luxury. With a range extending from 76 feet to 62m, Sanlorenzo offers Asia customers a choice of production planning and semi displacement yachts to alloy and steel superyachts. To see more of the range including the newly launched SL86 and 460 Explorer turn to pages 46 to 53.

GETTING HOOKED ON SPORTFISHING

In June Simpson Marine became the exclusive distributor for Viking Yachts across mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and S E Asia. Viking are the world leader in high performance luxury sportfishing yachts, a fast developing niche market in Asia. Many Asia boaters are looking for more adventure, sport and versatility from their yachting experience and Viking Yachts offer the perfect balance of style, speed and functionality that can compete at the highest levels of the sport.

Turn to pages 72 to 77 to see the range and page 96 for a look at the sport in Asia.

Whilst adding new brands, locations and services is important, it is our clients who have made Simpson Marine what we are today and will be in the future. Thank you for your support.

Simpson Marine now has 17 sales and service offices in 13 locations across the region offering consistent professional levels of advice and support wherever you happen to be.

EXPANDING ACROSS ASIA SIMPSON MARINE LOCATIONS

Simpson Marine continues to grow its presence across Asia opening new offices and expanding the range of after sales and ancillary services we offer. We now have 17 sales and service offices in 13 locations across the region.

We offer customers the choice of some of world’s best yachts supported by an interconnected network of offices across the region.

The yachting industry in Asia is evolving as owners gain more experience at sea and new marinas and cruising areas are developed. Boaters are taking advantage of these new opportunities by cruising around the region or keeping their yacht in a location separate from where they live, making access to a network of trusted support and advice more important than ever.

12 Our yacht care and yacht management programs help owners enjoy hassle-free yacht ownership, and our growing charter operation helps owners offset ownership costs whilst ensuring their yacht is expertly cared for and maintained.

Simpson Marine continues to support Asia’s yachting community by introducing sailors to new waters, providing training, and advice on how to get the most out of your yacht. We are proud to help sponsor numerous events and activities around the region including the Simpson Marine Hong Kong Four Peaks Race – now in its 31st year, and the Taiwan, Penghu Regatta which has had a successful third year and is set to become a leading fixture on the sailing calendar.

At Simpson Marine our goal is to make yacht ownership easy and to help owners enjoy the yachting lifestyle wherever they happen to be.
