Asia Global Yachting

A superyacht and expedition specialist that is unusually open about the regulatory side, including the Thai charter licence and the Myanmar permit process. One of the few desks that will actually run a Mergui charter.

What you would not get from their own site

  • Writes publicly and in detail about the Thai superyacht licence, the 24 metre threshold and the fiscal representative requirement. An operator that explains the rules in public is easier to hold to them in private.
  • Handles Myanmar permits in-house, which puts it in the small group that can run a Mergui itinerary at all.
  • Superyacht-weighted, so the entry point is high and the minimum is a full week.
  • Also publishes month-by-month weather and season guidance rather than the usual claim that the weather is lovely all year.

Charter licence

How this operator handles it

Publishes detailed guidance on the Thai superyacht licence regime, which is more than most operators in this market do.

Not on public record means no public statement was found. It is not a claim that a licence is missing, and the two are genuinely different. The licence belongs to the individual yacht and its management company, so inside one fleet the answer changes from hull to hull. What the licence covers.

  1. Ask them these five
  2. 01What flag does the yacht fly, and is it Thai or foreign?
  3. 02If it is foreign-flagged and 24 metres or longer, what is the Superyacht Charter Licence reference and when does it expire?
  4. 03Who is the Thai fiscal representative for the charter, and are they a TYBA member agent?
  5. 04Will the charter agreement name the yacht, the owning company and the licence, or only the broker?
  6. 05Is the 7 percent Thai VAT shown separately on the invoice, and against which company's tax number?

    The steel or aluminium displacement hull with range, tankage and a real dive setup. This is the class that runs Mergui, where there is no fuel dock, no chandlery and no charted anchorage to fall back on.

Routes they run, and in which version

Operators rarely run an identical itinerary. The variant matters more than the name: a four-night version of a five-night route has dropped a destination, and it is usually the furthest one.

How this profile was written

From public sources: the operator's own website, published rates and itineraries, and marina and association listings. Nothing on this page comes from the operator reviewing it first, and nothing on it was paid for.

Where a fact is not publicly stated, the profile says so instead of guessing. If you operate this business and something here is wrong or has changed, the methodology page explains how corrections are made.
