Tell us how you discovered your love of sailing. 
Honestly, I’ve always been someone who enjoys being out in the wild. I love being in nature, be it hiking up some hills or being on the ocean. Having said that, it was actually my father who first introduced me to boating when I was a child. At first, our family had a small power boat that we used to take out on weekends, but as I got older, roughly the time I started high school, we began to transition to sailing yachts instead, and that’s when I fell in love with the tranquility of being on the ocean. Even twelve years later, I very much enjoy the calm and quiet of sailing, where it’s just you and the environment. You can kind of forget about everything else for those moments.
Also, it’s a fantastic way to bond with my dad as well. Coming from an Asian family, I think a lot of things go unspoken, particularly when it comes to discussing emotions and such. But when you’re working sails and operating a boat together, there’s a sense of comfortability and camaraderie that connects us without words.

Looking back, what’s your fondest memory of sailing? 
I think the most memorable experience for me happened about four or five years ago when my dad and I participated in a sailing boat race to Macau. It just so happened that the event was held right after a typhoon, so the ocean conditions were super rough. Pretty much everything went wrong – we lost one of our sails halfway through the trip, then one of our engines stopped working as well. I think we spent about six hours trying to fix everything; roughly the same time that it should have taken us to do the entire race. My gosh it was a challenging time, but I look back on it very fondly. It showed me how truly powerful nature is, and how small you are, but at the same time it was very character-building!

Fast forward to the present, and you are about to receive your brand new Fountaine-Pajot MY6. What attracted you to this design? 
We looked at quite a lot of different power catamarans from various brands, but when my friend Justin Luk, who works as a broker for Asia Yachting, introduced the MY6 by Fountaine-Pajot to us, that’s the one we ended up choosing for several reasons. Firstly, there’s just the sheer size of it – there isn’t any other catamaran that has this feeling of spaciousness to it. From the height of the ceilings to the roomy cabins and airy lounge areas, it just feels much larger than a 40ft boat. I also liked that there was no wasted space such as superfluous corridors and connecting areas, resulting in a sleek, clean aesthetic. The attention to detail of the MY6 was also a deciding factor, whether it’s the uniformity and high-quality finish of the fibreglass exterior to the beautiful upholstery and furnishings within. From the macro to the micro, it’s truly an impressive design.

How do you feel this latest addition will complement your lifestyle? 
It’s going to be a nice change. As my father reaches retirement age and I’ve become more settled in my own career, we’re both transitioning to a new phase of life, and the MY6 gives us the chance to shift from sailing yachts to a more laid-back, convivial ocean-going atmosphere. It gives us the chance to step off the gas, forget about issues such as Covid, and just enjoy each other’s company. It’s also a great venue to socialise with friends and family, whether it’s hosting big barbecues or just having an afternoon sail with a few loved ones. Basically, whatever activity we choose, we’ll be able to enjoy it with the luxurious feeling of being in a private apartment on the water.

What is it about yachting that you love so much?
I think that in Hong Kong, there is so much to explore in the oceans around the city, so many islands, and yachting is a great way to see those sights and experience something apart from the urban jungle we live in. Just going to the waters of Sai Kung, for example, transports you to a space of tranquility and beauty, with its contrasts of verdant forests and azure waters. It also affords the opportunity to do a whole host of water sports, which I love.

Why choose the Prestige 590?
Well, once we decided to purchase a boat in the summer of 2020, I looked at several different brands. One of the things that convinced me to look at this boat more closely was the size and volume of the boat, and the spaces it provides, which perfectly matched my family’s needs. Being conscious of the environment, I wanted to minimise the amount of fossil fuels used, so I was also drawn to the new pod engine system, which is more fuel efficient and saves close to 26 percent on fuel. In the six months since we purchased the Prestige 590, it’s brought us a lot of joy.

What does a typical day on the boat look like for you?
During the warmer summer months, it’s not uncommon for us to pack a picnic lunch and set sail for Sai Kung for a fun afternoon, where the girls like to jump off from the disembarkment area on the port side into the sea. Our rear platform is moveable so we can lower it to dip our toes into the water as well. Then, of course, there’s the requisite flotation devices and unicorn floaties that my kids like to use while swimming around the boat. Occasionally, we even hire an instructor with a speedboat to teach us wakeboarding, which is something my family very much enjoys. In the winter, when it’s too cold for swimming and water sports, we take the boat out to Lamma Island and then go hiking and eat lunch there. Sometimes, on beautiful days like today, I like to take the boat out somewhere, drink a coffee, read a book and get some work done. It’s a great alternative to being in the office!
&nbsp;
Thank you.

From the beautiful Gulf of Thailand in the east to the tranquil waters of the Andaman Sea to the west, Thailand serves up a veritable treasure trove of yachting destinations for well-heeled jetsetters seeking a tropical paradise getaway from the stresses of everyday life. Indeed, the Land of Smiles is punctuated with countless hotspot locales serving up azure oceans and postcard-perfect sandy white beaches. It’s no wonder, then, that this South East Asian nation has become one of the go-to destinations for the discerning yachting aficionado.&nbsp;

Indeed, for those with a bent for a Thai nautical adventure, several names automatically spring to mind &#8211; including the likes of Phuket, Koh Samui and Krabi, to name but three. If, however, you’d like to venture slightly further off the beaten path, there’s no shortage of choice either. After all, Thailand is home to some 1,430 islands. A good starting point, though, is Koh Hong.&nbsp;
Set against the magnificent backdrop of the Phang Nga Bay in Krabi province, the Koh Hong archipelago comprises a string of four islands liberally dotted with exotic wildlife, verdant greenery and, of course, pristine beaches. The main island of Koh Hong &#8211; a key draw here &#8211; is largely uninhabited by humans. It does, however, boast a sundry collection of indigenous species including white-faced gibbons, monitor lizards and an array of birds. A study in contrasts, its white-sand beaches are juxtaposed with vertiginous cliffs, affording lucky visitors an amalgam of sights to explore.&nbsp;

While there are a number of ways to reach Koh Hong, among the most lavish ways to explore these pristine seas is aboard your own personal luxury yacht, such as the all-new Prestige 420. Measuring 42ft in length, the Prestige 420 serves as the perfect nautical base from which to explore the beauties of Koh Hong archipelago and its surrounds. The latest creation from French luxury yachtmaker Prestige, it represents the culmination of 30 years of ship-building savoir-faire, deftly blending beautiful form with high-performance function.&nbsp;

Painstaking care has been paid to the exteriors and interiors to ensure maximum comfort and ease-of-use. Outside, the jewel in its crown is undoubtedly the flybridge. Fully decked out with a sunpad mattress with adjustable headrests and L-shaped bench seating, it offers a perfect vantage point to take in the unfolding panoramas ahead. Heading indoors, sleek sophistication is evident in every corner, be it the sumptuously appointed master bedroom to the capacious wrap-around galley with its own dedicated cockpit bar &#8211; a deft touch allowing boat owners to live on board they explore&nbsp; the island’s sights.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A new benchmark of ocean-going luxury, the Prestige 420 debuted at the Thailand Yacht Show earlier this year. Speaking of the growing interest in Thai destinations like Koh Hong at the event, Olivier Besson, CEO of Asia Yachting &#8211; the representatives of Prestige yachts across Asia &#8211; said: “We are excited to be soon opening a new office in Phuket which will enable us to focus on sales growth opportunity in Southeast Asia, where we firmly believe in Thailand as the main hub for high-spending yacht tourism and for the international yachting industry in Asia. As a long-term yachting aficionado, I am deeply in love with the beautiful shores of Thailand and its islands for leisure boating.”
