The Kata Rocks resort hosted its 10^th annual Superyacht Rendezvous in December 2025

Yacht Style was among guests at the 10^th Kata Rocks Superyacht Rendezvous, which maintained its role as one of the opening events of Phuket’s high season for yachting.

Richard Pope, CEO of Kata Rocks and organiser Infinite Luxury, reflected: “For 10 years, the Kata Rocks Superyacht Rendezvous has signalled the start of the yachting season in Phuket. Once again, it was nice to see old and new faces reconvening at Kata Rocks.”

Supported by the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the annual invitation-only event is one of the most significant for the superyacht community in Southeast Asia. Kwanchai Aswawongsonti, Executive Director of Infinite Luxury and Kata Rocks, described the rendezvous as “an event that has become a key feature on the Phuket calendar”.

The three-day event began with the Kata Rocks Poker Run on the first day, with 16 speedboats and 100 participants involved in an afternoon on the water followed by celebrations on shore.

The second day, organised by Boat in the Bay and DCH Marine, was focused on more leisurely cruising, with the fleet exploring Phuket’s west coast.

There was also a presentation of several new yachts making their first appearances in Phuket, which included a Sunseeker Ocean 90 and a Princess S72, while the Leopard 43 powercat Estrella 43 added to the diversity of the fleet.

The event’s third and final day included a showcase of water toys and product tastings, and culminated in a James Bond-themed closing party. More than 300 attendees in total were present for the closing festivities, including superyacht owners and UHNWI guests, alongside yachting industry professionals and media from the region and beyond. 

The event also raised more than THB100,000 (US$3,150) for Phuket Has Been Good To Us, a local foundation that supports underprivileged children and families across the island.

Tim Sargeant, Director of Marketing at Infinite Luxury, commented: “The Closing Party is always a statement moment, but it is equally important that the event leaves a positive legacy. It is also our way of thanking our loyal Kata Rocks patrons and guests for their continued support, while supporting local causes that remain an integral part of what the Rendezvous represents.”
