Leading marine industry group Yacht Solutions have launched a new venture for the design and construction of superyachts. The new division which is named Ruea is targeting luxury vessels at the top end category up to 85 meters, and is expected to capture the upswing of demand in cashed up Asia.

Brother's Simon and Gareth Twist from the UK worked extensively within the upscale industry in the Caribbean and Mediterranean before partnering together 6 years ago in Phuket.

The group is using shipyards in Phuket and outside Bangkok and looks to be a leading example of brand Phuket being exported to the larger yachting world.
