Yacht Style Issue 51: ‘The Personalities Issue’ Is Out Now!

Yacht Style is excited to publish its first issue of 2020 because it features our annual special on the ‘Top Yachting Personalities in Asia’, which has expanded from 100 to 150 to reflect the growing activity across the region.

Welcome to Yacht Style Issue 51, the first edition of 2020

Growth is especially notable in developing markets – Vietnam, in particular – where a new generation of entrepreneurs are selling yachts and developing marinas along with everything else owners need to enjoy boating.

The ‘Top Yachting Personalities in Asia’ list has expanded to 150 for 2020

Yacht Style is also aware there are few women in our annual list, so we’ve added an extra section dedicated to some of the industry’s key ladies ‘who make it happen’.

In fact, women feature prominently in this issue, contributing all three Columns and handling the interior designs of three of our four yacht Reviews. Malaysia-based Edith Ho, working on a Ferretti Group brand flagship for the second time, designed the interior of the first Pershing 140, which was delivered to her Hong Kong owner late last year and features on our cover.
