PHUKET, THAILAND - What another fantastic ASR Winner’s Cup event at the 17th annual Asia Superyacht Rendezvous regatta. The participating owners and their guests, captains and crews made this year truly special, said long-time ASR Cup organiser, Gordon Fernandes, heading up Asia Pacific Superyachts Phuket and Myanmar.

Starting off on February 19th was the Opening Day Cocktail Party aboard the absolutely stunning S/Y La Numero Uno, Perini Navi’s first-ever constructed yacht. 

Welcomed by hosts Mick and Som Cotter, upon arriving by tender guests were introduced to world-renowned bartender Salim Khoury (formerly of The Savoy), mixing up his famous cocktail ‘The Blushing Monarch’, inspired by the late Princess Diana. Ensuring a sumptuous cuisine matched the libations was Executive Chef Fabrizio Demichelis of Phuket’s own Trattoria del Buongustaio, serving up his incredible tapas throughout the evening. 

Headquarters for the ASR Cup for the second year, the Sala Phuket Resort & Spa provided the best of accommodations, combining rare historical Sino - Portuguese architecture with luxury hotel facilities. The glittering gem is situation one of the most dramatic settings in Phuket on secluded Mai Khao Beach. 

Joining Sala Phuket Resort in warmly welcoming guests were co-sponsors Asia Pacific Superyachts, Yacht Services Thailand, Asia Pacific Boating, Charterworld.com, SEA Yachting and Deluxe Vietnam.

The weather may have been a bit inclement but that didn’t stop the fun or the exciting and highly fought racing on the beautiful waters of Mai Khao Bay January 19 through 21 in Phuket, Thailand.

The first superyacht racing started the next day, January 20th and S/Y Intrigue kicked things off by crossing the start line 2 seconds early, causing them to have to restart - incidentally at the opposite end of S/Y Aphrodite and S/Y La Numero Uno, giving them a big advantage with wind direction.
