Yacht Refit Asia manages these refits for owners. The cards are grouped as coatings work outside Thailand, yacht refit in Thailand, and refit work elsewhere in Asia. Each card shows the place. A yard is named only when it is Yacht Refit Asia's own base at Ocean Marina, or Bangkok Dock as a project site. The products those cards name are collected on the refit products and systems page.
Two programmes are in progress. First, a 76.6 m explorer yacht refit in Singapore. Second, three 33 m newbuilds in Haiphong, Vietnam. The same cards are first in their categories below.
