Lee Marine - Owner-operated acumen

To date, this has been an active and event-filled year for Lee Marine, and the busiest times are yet to come for yachting in South East Asia.

Lee Marine International Marine Brokerage is Thailand’s leading luxury yachting company specialising in the sale and purchase, after-sales care, management and construction of some of the finest yachts in the world.

Their respected reputation and continued upwards growth is not by chance. Other companies are stretched over the globe with various offices, outlets and agents. This wee giant is completely hands-on with Joshua Lee at the helm along with a dedicated team of sales brokers, after sales experts, boat managers, crew and support staff, collectively possessing a range of experience and knowledge far beyond any other yacht brokerage company in Thailand and South East Asia. That fact is an enormous difference – the brokerage company’s owner is at your side the entire way through purchasing your new yacht. His focus is your focus.

Based in Phuket in their new, consolidated offices does not stop this team from traveling the world with perspective clients or meeting potential buyers at global events. Following exhibiting with the largest display of on-water boats at the inaugural Thailand Yacht Show (TYS) earlier this year was Cannes Yachting Festival, then the prestigious Monaco Yacht Show.

Joshua Lee says, “We are excited to be part of these events that are featuring so many premiere yacht models from the many well known worldwide builders that we, at Lee Marine represent in Asia.” International yachting enthusiasts will discover the latest models from preferred brands such as Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Riva, CRN, Custom Line, CdM and Riviera. Lee continues, “Attending these events is paramount for gathering current information for our clients about the changing yacht market, new models, introducing clients that we bring with us to the builders and indulging in a wealth of invaluable industry networking.”

In addition to the new yachts, Lee Marine’s pre-owned yacht brokerage selection is second to none and constantly changing. Later this year the TYS, for the second time is planned, again at Phuket’s Ao Po Grand Marina and, will feature some of these outstanding yachts. Previous to TYS is the inaugural Kata Rocks Superyacht Rendezvous sponsored by Infinite Luxury, the resort developer and hosted by the award-winning Kata Rocks. “KRSR signals the opening of Phuket’s luxurious charter season, a time for superyacht owners to showcase their flagship vessels. The event is open to both sailing and motor yachts measuring over 24 meters in length, visiting or based in Phuket – Southeast Asia’s leading luxury location and superyacht hot spot, states Richard Pope, CEO Infinite Luxury & Kata Rocks.

“Lee Marine is thrilled to be supporting the first Kata Rocks Superyacht Rendezvous. Kata Rocks and Infinite Luxury group are, as usual, presenting innovative ideas for this event. Thailand’s current and upcoming superyacht market has so much growth potential and this rendezvous pushes that point home.” Josh Lee, Founder and Managing Director. Having recently sold a Feadship 69 metre custom built superyacht, a CdM Darwin 102’ new construction to Asia-based clients and more on contract, Lee certainly speaks knowledgeably.

Robb Report recently recognised Joshua Lee as one of the top 10 CEO’s in Thailand in their Anniversary issue – ‘Through Leader’s Eyes’. Lee Marine is his baby. Joshua Lee is involved in every crevice of Lee Marine. His vision for his company is deeply focused with integrity. The yacht owner’s satisfaction is superlative and fundamental. There is no surprise that an owner-operated enterprise gives you this level of passion and excellence.
