Fairview Yachting is proud to announce the acquisition of Simpson Yacht Charter Thailand, the renowned luxury yacht charter company based in Phuket and formerly part of the Simpson Marine Group. This exciting development brings Simpson Yacht Charter Thailand under the leadership of charter expert Andy Byham and luxury yachting specialist Richard Allen, two industry veterans with decades of experience and a shared commitment to excellence in customer service, yacht quality, and professionalism.
Byham and Allen are dedicated to preserving the legacy and ethos of Simpson Yacht Charter Thailand, which has long been celebrated for delivering exceptional charter experiences on both bareboat and crewed yachts from its base in Ao Po Grand Marina, Phuket. The existing team remains in place, ensuring continuity of the company’s high standards and its top-tier charter fleet.
Fairview Yachting now offers a complete range of services from yacht sales and luxury catamaran charters to charter management and yacht ownership programs, all coordinated from its headquarters in Phuket. This expansion strengthens Fairview Yachting’s position as a leading provider of bespoke yachting experiences in Thailand and South East Asia.
Richard Allen shared: “After establishing Simpson Yacht Charter in 2013 and working with Simpson Marine for the past 12 years, partnering with Andy to lead the Thailand operations was a natural progression. We share a passion for offering a quality charter fleet and excellent customer service, and we are excited to embark on this next chapter. We are also proud to represent Bali Catamarans as the official dealer in Thailand and Hong Kong, bringing their innovative yachts to the incredible cruising waters of Thailand and beyond.”
Allen will continue to take a strategic, behind-the-scenes role while managing other prominent yachting ventures in South East Asia, ensuring a seamless transition. Meanwhile, Simpson Marine, part of the Sanlorenzo Group, will continue its charter operations for larger yachts, aligning with the mother company’s international charter strategy.
