Luxury-Insider.com is honored to have been appointed the exclusive online media partner as Marquis Yachts made their highly-anticipated debut in Asia with the launch of the luxurious Marquis 420 Sport Coupé at the Aberdeen Boat Club in Hong Kong.

Themed “Feel The Luxury”, the Asia-Pacific Boating-organized event got off to an apt start as the president of Marquis Yachts, Mr. Robert VanGrunsven, was chauffeured to the red carpet in a Maybach limousine and launched the evening’s festivities.

Champagne flutes were toasted and cheers called out as the distinctly sculpted Marquis sailed into the harbor, complete with models aboard elegantly showcasing Blancpain timepieces on their wrists.

Spirits high, guests were invited aboard the state-of-the-art pleasure craft to personally experience and marvel up close the finer details that so set apart Marquis from the rest. (Indeed, Marquis’ yachts boast Europe’s respected Class A distinction, an award few other yacht-builders can claim.)

Host for the evening, Ms. Rabeea Yeung.

The party continued on land with the night drawing to a memorable close for many, especially so for the anonymous “Mr. O”, proud but coy new owner of the very first Marquis yacht in Asia. Congratulations!
