A variety of Heliotrope 48s have been delivered around APAC. In Thailand, the tall powercat offers huge outdoor areas, multiple layouts for decks and the option of solar power for onboard systems. customyacht
The Heliotrope 48 has already made quite an impression in Asia-Pacific, with hulls cruising in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Australia. Yet although they share the same hull and superstructure, the looks, layouts and uses of the 48ft powercats built in the Gulf of Thailand by PMG Shipyard vary almost as much as their locations.
And although the first hulls had a central steering station on the flybridge, the Hong Kong hull required the helm on the starboard side before the Sydney Seabird needed it — you guessed it — to port. “When I was discussing this with shipyards and at boat shows in Europe, people thought I was from another planet,” Guenat says. “I was even told by someone very well-known at a prominent Italian shipyard that if I couldn’t afford fuel, I shouldn’t be owning a boat.”Guenat was a regular visitor to Thailand, where he had lived for a decade and still had furniture made for his hotel group in Switzerland.
Heliotrope 48 production began at the Ocean Marina facility and continued once the company relocated to its current two-hectare site in Rayong, with Guenat later buying the company and renaming it PMG. “Interior customisation is especially important and we’re particularly flexible,” says Guenat. “We design the interior based on how the client wants to use the boat. Aside from the layout and furniture, décor and fabrics can be customised.
