As the superyacht industry in Asia continues to grow, Fraser has been reinforcing its regional presence with an ongoing strategic staff expansion for the past five years. Now boasting a strong team of 10 across yacht sales, charter broker, yacht management and marketing, Fraser Asia is being further strengthened by the continuing support of the company’s global network.
