The 2023 Southeast Asia Yachting Conference took place on April 26, at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove Singapore, with over 150 attendees, 10 speakers, and 12 panelists from across Asia and as far as Europe and Australia. 

The final presentation for the morning was by Ruurd van Putten, the Southeast Representative for Marinetek. Van Putten has over 20 years of experience in the yachting and marina industry, and moved to Vietnam in 2007.  Van Putten outlined some of the established and emerging destinations of the SEA cruising region, along with some of the marine facilities available in Vietnam. Ana Marina Nha Trang is open and operational and Van Putten shared the extensive bi-lingual guide to port entry procedures with the audience, (which caused some smiles). Van Putten recommends using a yacht management company’s if vessels are planning a visit.
