Yacht company turns focus to super-sizing

Yacht Solutions plans to upgrade its customisation service by modifying and refitting old commercial vessels into super-yachts. ‘I would like to enlarge this business in Thailand. So my company will set up a big facility in Bangkok in order to complete our objective,’ managing director Gareth Twist said last week. The company started by retrofitting a 52-metre vessel and converting it into a super-yacht in Bangkok last year. It recently received an order to renovate a 60-metre vessel into a floating palace with a swimming pool, elevators, Jacuzzis, theatres, karaoke rooms and 12 bedrooms.
