Prestige has appointed Amal Yachting as its official partner in Taiwan, where the dealership is established as one of the leading yachting companies. Founded in 2014 by Tee Tzer-yu, a naval architect, Amal Yachting also represents three Ferretti Group brands – Ferretti Yachts, Riva and Pershing – as well as Leopard, Beneteau, Axopar, Delta and Targa.
The representation of Prestige was announced in late March at a signing ceremony and press conference in Amal’s flagship showroom in Taipei, where it also operates a shipyard and a marina.
The appointment was Prestige’s latest in Asia, where its dealers include Asia Yachting in Hong Kong and Thailand, Speedo Marine in mainland China, Vietyacht in Vietnam, Yamaha Motor in Japan, Hyundai Yachts in Korea and Marine Solutions in India.
Tanguy Tertrais, Asia-Pacific Sales Director for Prestige, said: “We’re excited to expand our footprint in Taiwan though our partnership with Amal Yachting, a collaboration that strengthens our presence in the Asia-Pacific region. Amal Yachting’s expertise and dedication to the yachting industry make them an ideal partner for Prestige.”
Founded in 1989 as part of the Beneteau Group, Prestige built its global reputation on flybridge motoryachts from 40-70ft and is a world leader in the sector.
As well as its F-Line of flybridge models – currently undergoing a revamp – and its S-Line of coupe versions, the French builder has introduced two new lines in recent years: the X-Line of beamy, widebody flybridge models with reverse-raked windscreens, and the M-Line of multihull motoryachts.
Tee said: “We’ve been closely following Prestige’s evolution over the years, and we’re impressed by the continuous improvements in their product lines. The interior layouts are particularly well suited to the needs of clients in the Asia-Pacific region, offering both refined design and exceptional value.
“In Taiwan, there has been a clear gap in the market for mid-sized luxury yachts and Prestige fills that space perfectly. We’re proud to officially bring Prestige Yachts into our portfolio and look forward to introducing this world-class brand to more clients in Taiwan.”
