Von der Heyden Yachting

A smaller brokerage working the crewed and superyacht end, with a hand-picked rather than comprehensive list. Useful when you want a short list of four yachts instead of a catalogue of forty.

What you would not get from their own site

  • Deliberately narrow selection. That is a real service when the alternative is comparing forty listings that all use the same three stock photographs.
  • German-speaking desk, which is unusual in Phuket and matters if the charter agreement is going to be read carefully rather than skimmed.
  • Covers Thailand alongside other Southeast Asian destinations, so a seasonal redirect is possible.
  • As with any brokerage: the licence and the flag belong to the yacht, and the answer has to come from the yacht's management rather than from the broker's brochure.

Charter licence

How this operator handles it

Places crewed and superyacht charters. Licence position is held by the individual yacht's management, not by the brokerage.

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?

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.
