Vrit and Jean-Marc shared that beyond serving yachting clients, another pillar of their partnership will be to help build Thailand and Phuket in particular as the epicentre of yachting in Asia. 'We both truly believe that Phuket and its surrounding cruising grounds are absolutely world class and can provide all the facets of a fabulous yachting experience: amazing seascapes, great restaurants, world-class resorts, diverse land activities, and all with very convenient access from across Asia.'
