Pearl Yachts has appointed Max-Marine Asia as its exclusive dealer for Thailand, further growing its dealer network around Asia. The British-owned motor yacht builder appointed VP Yachts as its Hong Kong dealer in late 2022.

Murphy, Managing Director of Max-Marine Asia, has extensive experience of yacht sales, operations and mechanics, holding qualifications as a boat builder, shipwright, commercial captain and commercial engineer. The Australian also has a strong track record in managing yacht refits and has been involved in marina designs and installation projects.
Max-Marine Asia has an office and a factory service centre in Phuket, as well as an office in Ocean Marina Jomtien in Pattaya, a 1½ -hour drive from Bangkok.
