Superyacht Refit Southeast Asia

Superyacht Refit Southeast Asia is owner's-side refit and project management across Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, in that order. Yacht Refit Asia is independent of the yard. The founder and owner is Scott Taylor, EST. 1990. One specification can cover works that move between these places. The yard changes. The owner's project manager does not. This page compares the three countries. Each country page carries the address and the limit of what is confirmed.

The head office is Yacht Refit Asia Pte. Ltd. (UEN 202642126C) at 336 Smith Street, #05-303, New Bridge Centre, Singapore 050336. The Thailand branch and office is at Ocean Marina, Thailand. Vietnam is a project site in Haiphong, and the work there is delivered under the contract of Yacht Refit Asia Co., Ltd. (Thailand). The Singapore head office telephone is +65 8401 2442. The Thailand branch telephone is +66 (0)80 829 0122. Email is info@yachtrefitasia.com. Opening hours are not published.

Independent owner's-side management

The project manager works for the owner. Specification, tender comparison, budget, schedule and coordination of contractors, suppliers and Class surveyors stay with that manager through to redelivery. The company does not ask the owner to hold those threads separately in each country. A programme that starts with a survey in one place can be reported from another, still as one programme.

That role is set out on Superyacht Project Management in Asia. The general steps, specification and tender, yard selection, budget control, class and flag liaison, sea trials, warranty work and crew handover, are on the refit guides. They are written as process, not as a claim about a particular contract.

Class on these refits follows RINA, Lloyd's Register and Bureau Veritas. Class liaison includes ABS. The society on a given vessel is the one appointed for that vessel. A 40.8 m Benetti in Singapore in 2025 had works under RINA. That is a published programme, not a rule that every yacht uses RINA. A chemical and paint-use licence is mentioned only in general. No ISO standard or certification is claimed. Coatings, where a specification includes them, are by sister company Superyacht Painters, under the same founder and ownership.

Refit process

The published sequence is the same in each country. A pre-refit condition survey comes before a written specification. Yards are asked to price that specification so the comparison is like-for-like. Dry dock coordination covers the slot, the docking plan and daily liaison, inside the same budget and schedule. Quality control and Class and flag documentation stay with the project manager until redelivery. Every refit and repair programme managed by Yacht Refit Asia carries a written workmanship warranty. An approved system also keeps the guarantee its manufacturer gives.

A hazardous task starts only when the site lead has checked that a valid permit is in place, displayed at the job, and closed out when the task ends. The method is on the health and safety page. Interior, upholstery and dashboard work, where the specification calls for it, is on the interior refit page.

Singapore

Singapore is the registered head office. From 2026 Yacht Refit Asia is an authorised main contractor for superyacht refit works in Singapore. The yard used there is not named. The published programmes are a 76.6 m explorer yacht, name not published, with a hull and superstructure refit and an Awlgrip finish, fairing nearly complete, running ahead of schedule, delivery April 2027; a 55 m motor yacht, a refit project in 2025, including a composite repair; and a 40.8 m Benetti, works under RINA in 2025. The Singapore page is Superyacht Refit in Singapore.

Thailand

Thailand is the registered branch at Ocean Marina, Thailand, Yacht Refit Asia Co., Ltd. (Thai reg. 0205562024126). The postal address is 167/5 Unit 27, Ocean Marina, Na Jomtien, Chon Buri 20250. That address is the office. Published refits include a 60 m Oceanco at Bangkok Dock in 2015, managed to a written specification covering the exterior, the engine room, the underwater hull and the pool, with an Alexseal finish, and a 34 m Camper & Nicholsons classic at Bangkok Dock. Both were delivered by founder Scott Taylor and Superyacht Painters Ltd. A 40.2 m Benetti and a 41 m motor yacht are at Ocean Marina, Thailand. A 42 m catamaran in Thailand received fairing repairs and a full Awlgrip finish.

Phuket is part of this Thailand coverage, not a separate country. Princess programmes in Phuket from December 2020 into 2021 are the published Phuket record, managed from Ocean Marina, Thailand. They are described without yacht, client or yard names on Yacht Refit Phuket. The branch page is Yacht Refit Thailand.

Vietnam

Vietnam has no Yacht Refit Asia office on this site. The published place is Haiphong. Yacht Refit Asia Pte. Ltd. (Singapore) is the head office. The published programme is the first of three newbuild 33 m superyachts. Hull 1 started on 24 June 2026. The refit scope includes fairing and an Alexseal finish, with containment tenting installed. The contract for that work is with Yacht Refit Asia Co., Ltd. (Thailand). The Vietnam page is Yacht Refit in Vietnam.
