Yacht Management

Maintenance, repairs, or upgrades takes time. When this is done correctly, you can be confident that your boat is seaworthy and is available to meet your needs.

24/7 Support

Scheduled Upkeep

Time-sensitive Maintenance

Skippers' Concierge

Whether it's financial management and reporting, maintenance planning and supervision, boat relocation, or underway assistance, you can be assured that your vessel is secure and ready to fulfill your needs.

Perfect for a layup over winter or the typhoon season. Services include:

Planning maintenance and upgrades then optimally scheduling the work

Arranging skilled tradespeople and ensuring the tasks have been completed correctly

Sourcing parts so they are available when needed

Sea trials of the vessel to ensure all systems are functioning correctly

Cleaning and provisioning the boat so it is ready for you to step aboard and cast off

Moving your boat to your desired point of departure

This can be the result of an accident, equipment failure or you might just wish for some time off your boat freeing the boat up to have work undertaken. We provided services like those of scheduled upkeep, but they are typically smaller in scope and competed in a shorter period.

A service was born from firsthand experience.

Vessel management extends beyond day-to-day boat operations. Many of these tasks are best dealt with ashore with access to the internet and uninterpreted communications.

Marinas, fuel, hotels…

Reservations can be made, the progress of your vessel monitored, and facilities updated about your arrival.

Upkeep & repairs

Do you need your boat hoisted out for yard work, a marine electrician or gas fitter, sail repairs, or a bio clearance? To save you wasting time while you wait for availability, we can make these arrangements while you are underway.

Logistics & parts

When a part breaks at sea, Yachting Services (Asia) can locate a replacement and have it shipped to your next destination.

Ad hoc crew

We can provide additional crew for a lengthy or challenging leg or if you need to replace a current crew member.

Peace of mind

An experienced, shore-based contact assures you that someone is there to assist you whenever you need it. This can encompass:

Monitoring your progress and getting expert help should the unforeseen occur

Finding alternative anchorages or moorings at short notice

Obtaining local knowledge in places with inadequately surveyed charts

Drafting passage plans for future legs of a passage

Arranging a tow for engine breakdowns and other major equipment failures

Providing customised weather and route forecasting

Acting as a sounding board to talk through problems. Useful for the skipper but also for the crew if the skipper becomes incapacitated

Justice Clarence Thomas took more trips paid for by donor Harlan Crow, Senate panel reveals

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin says his committee has uncovered at least three additional trips given to Justice Clarence Thomas by GOP megadonor Harlan Crow as part of the panel’s ethics investigation into the Supreme Court.

Durbin, D-Ill., said Thursday the committee obtained information from Crow that Thomas took three trips, and at least six flights, on Crow’s private jet in 2017, 2019 and 2021. The panel also found evidence of private jet travel during trips to Indonesia and California that Thomas recently disclosed in an amendment to a 2019 financial disclosure report.

The Democratic-led Judiciary panel launched the investigation last year after several reports that Thomas had for years received undisclosed expensive gifts , including international travel, from Crow. The committee has since pushed the Supreme Court to adopt a stronger ethics code as trips by Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito came to light, along with six-figure book deals received by other justices.

The new information “makes it crystal clear that the highest court needs an enforceable code of conduct, because its members continue to choose not to meet the moment,” Durbin said in a statement.

There was no immediate comment from the court on the Senate report. In the past, Thomas has maintained that he is not required to disclose the many trips he and his wife took that were paid for the Texas megadonor because Crow and his wife Kathy are “among our dearest friends,” Thomas said in an April 2023 statement that he was advised by colleagues on the nation’s highest court and others in the federal judiciary that “this sort of personal hospitality from close personal friends, who did not have business before the Court, was not reportable.”

Thomas, 75, and his wife, Virginia, have traveled on Crow’s yacht and private jet in Indonesia as well as stayed at his private resort in New York’s Adirondack Mountains, ProPublica reported last year. ProPublica wrote that it could have cost more than $500,000 had Thomas chartered a plane and yacht himself.

Last week, Thomas said in his annual financial disclosure that Crow paid for a hotel room in Bali, Indonesia, for a single night in 2019, and food and lodging at a private club in Sonoma County, California, the same year. But he did not report the plane flights or the stay on Crow’s yacht.

In a statement released minutes after the Judiciary panel released its report, Crow’s office said he reached an agreement with the committee to provide information responsive to its requests going back seven years, “despite his serious and continued concerns about the legality and necessity of the inquiry.” The panel voted in November to authorize a subpoena for Crow as part of the probe, despite protests from all committee Republicans.

Crow, a longtime GOP donor based in Dallas, has maintained that he has never spoken with his friend about pending matters before the court.

The Judiciary panel said it will release a full report later this year. But among the details Durbin released Thursday were a 2017 trip Thomas took on Crow’s jet from St. Louis to Montana, along with a return flight from Montana to Dallas; round trip private jet travel in 2019 from Washington to Savannah, Ga., and a round trip flight on a private jet from Washington to San Jose, California, in 2021.

The committee said it also has evidence of private jet travel for the 2019 trip to Indonesia, along with documentation of the eight-day yacht excursion.

The justices adopted an ethics code in November, though Democrats say it is not strong enough because it lacks enforcement. The code treats travel, food and lodging as expenses rather than gifts, for which monetary values must be reported. Justices aren’t required to attach a value to expenses.

Starting last year, the justices also must report private plane travel that is given to them. Thomas has declined to report trips he took before those rules went into effect.
