Dive guides
We can provide highly qualified divemasters or instructors to join
a superyacht trip in the area. There are books available but only somebody who has been diving in the
area for a long period of time can let you into the real high spots of each dive.
Diving equipment rental
Full equipment (diving computer, wetsuit, BCD, regulator, mask,
fins, tanks, weight-belts and weights) or individual pieces are available for hire.
Flowers
Locally grown flowers include Birds of Paradise, Orchids, Roses,
and Carnations. These can be purchased in Bunches or they can be put into arrangements of your
choice.
With prior notice flowers can be imported in from Northern Thailand or flowers can be flown in
Internationally.
Freight forwarding
From urgent documents that need to be couriered to heavy freight
no job is too big or too small.
Asia Pacific Superyachts Samui can arrange for freight to be picked up from the vessel and delivered to
the destination of your choice. Whether it be a local or international delivery Asia Pacific Superyachts
Samui staff can advise and send your packages and documents by the most cost effective method
available.
Fuel and lube oil supply
Yachts over 500 gross tons can take on Duty Free fuel providing
they check out of Thailand within 24 hours. For yachts that are under 500 gross tons Asia Pacific Superyachts
Samui can arrange for a fuel barge to come alongside. The maximum delivery is 90,000L's.
Lube-Oil can also be delivered direct to the yacht.
Helicopters / private aircraft charter
Helicopters and aircraft are available for charter. They can take
guests to both local and international destinations.
Asia Pacific Superyachts Samui can also arrange landing permits at local airports (at the discretion
of the airport) for privately owned helicopters and aircrafts.
Immigration and customs clearance
There are many rules and regulations in Thailand which are very
different to those of a Western culture and, if by some small chance they are written down, they are
unlikely to be in English. It must also be noted that not all the immigration/customs people speak
English/another language so unless you can speak Thai, communication can be very difficult. This, along
with the heaps of paperwork, can make dealing with authorities very frustrating for visiting
captains.
A Asia Pacific Superyachts Samui representative will meet the yacht at any accessible place on the
island. The captain can then sign all the paperwork and hand over all the necessary documentation needed for
inward clearance. Asia Pacific Superyachts Samui staff will then process the paperwork and all necessary
documentation for the clearance. This will be delivered back to the yacht without the need for the
captain or crew to leave the vessel.
Local Internet Connections
Asia Pacific Superyachts Samui can provide Local Internet access
via landline or Mobile GPRS. The cost of connecting to the internet locally is much less than connecting to
your overseas provider. Our local access kits will allow you to surf the web internationally and collect
your mail from your existing account. Asia Pacific Superyachts Samui also has broadband available at
our Samui office if you wish to connect your notebook to the internet to download large files or emails.
Laundry / dry-cleaning
Asia Pacific Superyachts Samui has accounts with the best
laundries on the island. We can arrange to pick-up dirty laundry and return it to the yacht professionally
dry-cleaned or washed and pressed.
Provisioning
Asia Pacific Superyachts Samui can arrange provisioning in two
ways: we can visit local shops and suppliers or we can order items from abroad.
Obviously high quality and low cost items such as seafood, pineapples, melons, mangos, sweetcorn,
chillis etc can be purchased locally but many chefs prefer to use imported meat, cheese and vegetables.
Meat is imported from Australia and New Zealand. Cheese, fruit and vegetables are imported from around
the world. Please note that imported fruit and vegetables are ordered on a Friday and delivery takes
place the following Friday.
Beer, spirits and soft drinks can also be supplied in various quantities; these items are reasonably
priced and readily available. There is a lot of duty placed on wine and champagne, however, and these
items are, therefore, very expensive.
Traditional Thai dancers and bands
 For
special occasions - perhaps to welcome the yacht's owner or guests onboard - why not hire traditional
Thai dancers and a band?
Thai ladies wearing traditional costume can also be organised to greet guests with a traditional Thai
Wai - a graceful prayer-like movement of the hands - and an orchid garland or corsage.
Dancers and musicians are available in different size groups. There can be anything from 7 - 40 members
playing and dancing.
EPIRB & Liferaft servicing
Asia Pacific Superyachts Samui staff can arrange for EPIRBs to be
sent away for servicing and battery changes.
Life rafts can be picked up and sent away for servicing/certification.
T-Shirts
Asia Pacific Superyachts Samui can arrange t-shirts or polo
shirts in many colours (white, black, navy, turquoise, red, yellow, green etc) featuring a yacht's logo
or any other design.
Locally produced, using machine embroidery or silk-screen printing, these articles are high in quality
and low in cost.
Yachts around the world can take advantage of Thailand's first-class textile industry by sending their
designs to Asia Pacific Superyachts Samui. We will organize the quantity of t-shirts or polo shirts
required and send them to a convenient address.
Baseball caps, coasters and silk scarves can also be stamped with the motif of the yacht.
Uniforms
Purchasing uniforms in the Med or the Caribbean can be expensive.
Thailand, however, is renowned for it's high quality, low cost textile industry.
Asia Pacific Superyachts Samui can organize any style and size of crew day or evening uniforms
with your yacht's logo embroidered on it.
We can also reproduce uniforms which have become worn and need replacing via the post. Just send us a
sample of the uniform you wish to be reproduced and we'll send you back the quantity - and quality - you
require.
Vehicle hire
In Samui, you can hire an executive style Mercedes Benz, Mercedes
minibus, Toyota minibus or a Cheroke Jeep with driver for when the owner/guests arrive.
There are also a full range of self-drive hire cars available on the island. We have contracts with
several of the National rental companies; this means that we get a discount and, therefore, you get a
discount. |
