ASIA YACHT SERVICES The following contacts directly via email from 3 Captains of high profile yachts who had cruised around Asia as part of a circumnavigation...
“Made Gerip was our agent, who organized our cruising permit without hassle, and cleared us in easing our path with the officials. He has his finger on the pulse... did all we asked of him, and more.” Contacts:
"Mojo is the Burmese guide for Seal Superyachts, and his pleasant manner and informative knowledge of the area is second to none. He can also be organized through Gordon (see 'Thailand' section, pg. 1047), and in fact, it is not possible to cruise Burma without a guide."
“Located within the beautiful Gold Coast Marina, in the Castle Peak area, are these full service yacht agents. They provided all transportation, flowers, guide services, and official in / out clearance. They can also arrange local / pre-paid phone cards (Cingular and T-Mobile work here).” Contacts:
“This beautiful full service marina is also linked in with the Gold Coast Club / Resort, with membership available to visiting yachtsmen. Marina manager David Bowdler can arrange duty- free fuel for departure. The City Super Shops on both Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, carry an impressive array of American / Western food, including US prime grade beef, Oscar Meyer bacon and hot dogs!” Contact: David Bowdler
"Abdullah Jaleel was there as a good, professional contact." Contacts:
"Alastair, Aubrey and Kathleen at the newly established Seal Superyachts are great guys. They know the islands well, and are more than helpful." Contacts:
“Tong Jianfeng – Cruise Operations Manager – was a great help for all manner of things... including our guests fast changing transportation requirements. He speaks fluent English and was a real pleasure to work with. They can also provide pre-paid Cingular and T-Mobile phonecards. Our boarding agent – Wu Xiao Min – looked after the majority of our in / outbound paperwork, and although relatively inexperienced with yachts, they came through like champs.” Contact:
“Excellent. Great for the crew, with gym, pool, Wi- Fi and a good chandler on site who can get most stuff quickly.” Contacts:
"These guys really know how it all works. They can organize everything from Burma trips, Andaman Islands and anywhere around the west coast of Thailand. Gordon is a great guy who knows how to get most things, and more importantly, how the 'officials' operate! If you are intending to go there, do call them, or you will never get anywhere fast."Gordon was excellent... highly recommended." Contacts:
“Run by ex yacht crew - Nick and Zara - who really know how to help. Very friendly welcome, with someone always on hand.” Contacts:
“Run by Muzza Nordstrand, who did our awnings, and was very good.” Contacts: |
