Opening ceremony officiated by Dato Mohd Radzi Manan, Chairman of MYBOS, marks new chapter for Derani Yachts with yacht viewings and community celebration.
Pangkor Marina, Malaysia – 2nd September 2025 — Derani Yachts has officially opened its new Malaysia branch office at Pangkor Marina with a ceremony officiated by Dato Mohd Radzi Manan, Chairman of the Malaysian International Boat Show (MYBOS). The event was attended by distinguished guests including Dato Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu and their spouses, Datuk Normah Hanum and Datin Seri Dr Nomee.
“It is an auspicious day, because I see a development that is very encouraging for the marine industry in Malaysia,” said Dato Radzi. “Wherever Mr. Håkan is present, I see business — that is always a good sign for our industry.”
Guests were also invited to experience sea trials and viewings of the Axopar 29 Cross Cabin and Greenline 40, two premium yachts that combine innovative design with exceptional comfort on the water. These showcases demonstrated the style, performance, and lifestyle that define Derani Yachts’ portfolio, while reflecting the growing appetite for luxury yachting in Malaysia.
Derani Yachts Founder and Managing Director, Håkan Lange, reflected on the company’s long ties to Malaysia. “We started selling boats here in the 1990s, so in many ways this feels like coming home,” he said. “This industry is all about people — the partners we work with and the clients we serve. We bring the products, we team up with good people, and together we continue living the dream.”
The celebration continued with a waterfront BBQ, where guests, clients, and local community members came together to enjoy food, conversation, and fellowship. The relaxed setting highlighted the lifestyle that lies at the heart of Derani Yachts’ philosophy — building not just business, but friendships and communities around the shared passion for boating.
Dato Radzi emphasized the importance of collaboration for Malaysia’s marine sector. “The marine leisure industry in Malaysia still lacks sufficient support services, and we must work together as a community to develop this sector. With new shows, better facilities, and strong industry players, we can grow vibrant communities from Langkawi in the north to Johor in the south and beyond to East Malaysia.”
The new Pangkor Marina office expands Derani Yachts’ presence across Southeast Asia, joining its Phuket headquarters and partner representation in Singapore. The branch will offer yacht sales, brokerage, and sea trials, supported by after-sales services and a growing portfolio of international brands.
“Everyone else in the region is cutting down, but I think this is the right time to go the opposite direction with strategic partnerships,” Lange added. “We’re already planning to expand further, including hopes to open in Indonesia before the end of this year.”
With strong partners, supportive communities, and the natural beauty of Malaysia’s cruising grounds, Derani Yachts’ newest branch signals confidence in the region’s future as a vibrant yachting destination
