One of Yacht Style’s signature annual features, the listing of the top yachting leaders in Asia recognises those personalities developing and shaping the yachting industry in the region along with newcomers trying to break new ground and make things happen.

For 2021, the list has been reduced from the 150 featured last year due mainly to Covid’s impact on races and regattas, and a quietening in yacht sales in several countries and regions, although Hong Kong was the most notable exception to the rule for both racing and general yachting activity.
We highlight leaders from as far west as the UAE and India across to Japan in the east. However, the spread of countries is generally reflective of Yacht Style’s main territories across Greater China and Southeast Asia, and is dominated by personalities from Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam.
Overall, the magazine’s aim continues to be recognising people driving active dealerships, brokerages, charter and insurance companies, leaders of national or regional organisations, shipyard owners and leaders, marina investors and operators, high-profile yacht owners, successful sailors and those bringing new brands and trends into theregion.
