I have used MYS for both services and crew recruitment for over then years. In all my dealings with the principal and staff at MYS, they have been thoroughly professional, courteous and transparent in the provision of their services. I have no hesitation in recommending MYS to my peers in the yachting industry.

MYS was appointed the official agent of the yacht and assisted us with all relevant services to ensure our visit in Australia was successful in terms of the yachts operational requirements and enjoyable with regards to the crew and owner.

Major Yacht Services has honorably assisted MY Callisto in all areas of our business in Australia and throughout the Pacific. We enjoyed doing business with MYS and would happily recommend them to other yachts.

On the 27th of March 2019 the inaugural edition of The Superyacht Gathering was held in Auckland, New-Zealand. The event is to showcase the South Pacific to worldwide superyacht owners and to the charter industry. It is also an occasion for people of the industry to meet and do business. This show is the brainchild of two women within the yachting industry.

Linda Berry, the managing director who has been working in this field for 20 years and Ellie Brade, PR & communication director who began her career as a journalist at The Superyacht Report and now as a freelance journalist. Ellie has a history of writing for Asia-Pacific’s leading brands such as Yachting Developments.

For three days, both motor and sail yacht owners, designers, crew and industry figureheads have met to discuss several topics. On the first day, the Kiwi Luxe Welcome party was held at the Orams Marine Dry Stack with a traditional Maori ceremony. Among the guest, Jonathan Beckett, chief executive of Burgess and Sam Sorgiovanni yacht designer of Jubilee and White Rabbit responded to the invite. Day two was storytelling day. After a croissant and a juice, the speakers went from ownership to building to environment subjects. At night, the Burgess VIP Party took place. Day three began with America’s Cup breakfast at the Royal New Zealand Squadron. Then the guests were invited to go to Waiheke Island for a social day. Finally, the show ended with a word from the co-founders sharing positive thoughts and hopes for the future.

The show was firstly to advertise South Pacific to yachts owners and the charter industry. Australia and New Zealand are not the most visited waters in comparison to the Mediterranean or Bahamas. By creating this event, they wanted to promote the region. Other yacht shows already exist in Australia, like the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show in May and Sydney International Boat Show in August but they aren’t as famous as the Monaco Yacht Show or Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The Superyacht Gathering was meant to introduce New-Zealand & Australia to the superyacht market.

On the other hand, while most shows are focused on days of talking, Linda and Ellie wanted it to be a real experience. The goal was to raise awareness about the environmental issues. Those who belong in the Marine Industry realize that their place of work is being polluted for far too long. The aim is to highlight the and provide awareness to the Superyacht owners and charter Companies. In fact, The Superyachts Gathering is aimed to be the industry’s lowest impact event. It’s a call to action.

We use MYS for all our agent requirements, crew placement, customs clearance, fuel bunkers and the list goes on.

Motor Yacht DOA provides spacious comfort as you cruise the diverse waters of the Andaman Sea and surrounding South East Asia regions. Featuring a 14 person jacuzzi on the top deck with expansive sun loungers and bar she is sure to both entertain and provide sufficient space for the sun worshippers.

“The cruise was spectacular. We had the best time and several in our group called it the highlight of our vacation. The sales process was super easy. The yacht was perfect and the crew were fantastic. Captain Krill made sure everyone had a great time. The food was delicious and the servers were very attentive and left us wanting for nothing. It was a perfectly fabulous day. Thanks again for all your help in planning a very successful experience.” – Charter Guest.

After many seasons in the Mediterranean, DOA now bases in Phuket, a region which is fast growing to be the next big charter destination. DOA is available for charter in the South East Asia region including areas such as Thailand and Myanmar. With 5 cabins sleeping up to 10 guests she is very flexible to all kinds of charter parties.

A superyacht with soul, Dunia Baru combines the ability of the famed Konjo shipwrights to manipulate wood, with the latest in industry-leading technology. The result is a charter yacht which helps its guests begin their exploration of some of Asia’s most fascinating cultures and spaces as soon as they step aboard.

Dunia Baru provides the perfect platform for adventure and exploring the beautiful and remote waters of Indonesia and Asia in comfort. Completed in 2014 by an American owner in the traditional Indonesian Phinisi design, she offers seaworthiness and stability without compromise on modern conveniences and comfort. Sleeping up to 14 guests in 7 spacious and well appointed cabins she delivers ample space for large groups of friends and families to enjoy.

A sinuously-curved ironwood hull sets the exotic tone, transitioning to an elegant interior replete with hand-carvings and a luxurious finish. Every creature comfort has been attended to within the seven guest cabins, and the crew of 20 are highly-trained to cater to both guests’ need for adventure, and to provide the ultimate in relaxing charters. The most ringing recommendation of Dunia Baru’s ability as a charter yacht though, is the number of charter guests who keep coming back to her for more.

Dunia Baru comes complete with a full dive shop including 14 sets of dive gear and a fully qualified dive guide. No matter what your dive certification level, Dunia Baru’s liveaboard dive guide will show you the underwater world in safety and confidence.
