What Does Simpson Marine Have Planned for the Thailand Yacht Show 2022 in Pattaya?

(03 June 2022, 09:29 +07)  Established in Hong Kong in 1984, Simpson Marine specialises in luxury yacht sales, charters, management, pre-delivery and after sales services.

Over the past 35 years, the company has grown substantially and today has offices and service points in seven countries, representing some of the most impressive names in yachting, including Sanlorenzo, Bluegame, Fairline Yachts, Beneteau, as well as Lagoon and Aquila Power Catamarans.

The Fairline Squadron 68 will be making its regional premiere at the Thailand Yacht Show 2022 in Pattaya from 9-12 June

Having completed over 3,000 yacht sales around Asia, Simpson Marine regularly attends most of the leading yacht and boat shows in the region and in Thailand has been a regular supporter of the annual Pattaya Boat Shows and Thailand Yacht Shows.

With the Thailand Yacht Show 2022 taking place in Pattaya for the first time from 9-12 June, Steven Howard of TravelNewsAsia.com sat down with Howard Prime, Country Manager - Thailand at Simpson Marine, to ask him what plans the company has for the yacht show.

In this interview, filmed over the internet on 2 June 2022, Howard tells us which and how many yachts Simpson Marine will be taking to the show - including two beauties that will be making their regional premieres, how the company plans to get people involved and out on the water, and explains a little about what the Simpson Marine Academy is all about and what it will mean to those in Thailand.

Simpson Marine has not attended a boat show in Thailand since January 2020 and Howard tells us how the pandemic has affected their marketing budget, how this year's budget compares to pre-pandemic budgets and what Simpson Marine aims to get from each of the different boat shows that it attends.
