Yacht brokers of Hong Kong have had a phenomenal couple of years as the local appetite for superyachts has grown. There has been a boom in “demand for anything between 15-metres through to 45-metres, and around 500 yachts have been sold in Hong Kong in the last two years,” Eric Noyel, Founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5504" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Asia Marine (Company)">Asia Marine</a> &amp; Managing Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fraser (Company)">Fraser</a> Asia, told SYT. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/223285/image/large-af2e2abb128e9080583b34b18780bff1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/223285">While the appetite has predominantly been satisfied by European builds, local yacht builders have also been kept extremely busy. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kingship Yacht (Company)">Kingship</a>, for one, currently has multiple projects underway, Managing Director, Roger Liang confirmed. “We are currently building a 45-metre motor yacht designed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Horacio Bozzo Design (Company)">Horico Bozzo of Axis studio</a>, and have just delivered a 24-metre catamaran to a buyer who’ll navigate around one of the largest lakes in Southern China.” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kingship Yacht (Company)">Kingship</a> built six steel displacement yachts, that are full class and adhere to MCA standards, in the last 10 years.

Last year <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1394" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocean Alexander (Company)">Ocean Alexander</a> delivered 13 yachts in the above 24-metre category and have a further 12 penned in to be launched this year. Whereas eight yachts built by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/119" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Horizon Yachts (Company)">Horizon</a> made their first splash last year, and the Taiwanese builder expects to put another 15 in the water before this year’s through. The bulk of these yachts aren’t destined for Asia though, “<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/119" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Horizon Yachts (Company)">Horizon Yachts</a>’ main market is Australia, the States, and Europe” Suzy Rayment, Executive Director of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5448" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Asia Pacific Superyachts (Company)">Asia-Pacific Superyacht Association</a>, explained.

The ‘Designer Label’ is as important for yacht buyers as it is for buyers of cars, watches or handbags.”&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/177088/image/large-42d416153cf207aa10a7e8215e7f1371.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/177088"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4788" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jinlong Mega Yacht (Company)">Jinlong Mega Yacht</a> is one such shipyard that is developing quickly. The yacht builder is owned by the conglomerate that recently acquired <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/434" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Balk Shipyard (Company)">Balk Shipyard</a>, Zhongying Int’l Holding Group Ltd. The Dutch shipyard will soon be working closely with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4788" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jinlong Mega Yacht (Company)">Jinlong Mega Yachts</a>, as the Chinese shipyard rolls out its expansion plans.

Quality is one thing, but &nbsp;“there also isn’t the same level of aftercare with Chinese-built boats,” Rayment said. So while these yachts might be cheaper, they still come with a price: a lower guarantee that clients know and expect from superyacht manufacturers. This may not be the case for long though; it seems we’re at a pivotal turning point.&nbsp;The forthcoming developments at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4788" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jinlong Mega Yacht (Company)">Jinlong Mega Yachts</a>, for one, but also with headway being made at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2561" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heysea Yachts (Company)">Heysea Yachts</a>. “<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2561" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heysea Yachts (Company)">Heysea</a> was established in 2007 and is currently the leading shipbuilder in mainland China,” Godfrey Zwygart, Managing Director at Marevisio Co. Limited, said. &nbsp;“They have a whole range of boats up to 43 metres, and their quality has been improving considerably in recent years – they are a serious competitor to western shipyards.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/100071/image/large-0bf6bfc76339c8dfc6a3125a232f0ff0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/100071"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/95551/image/large-7b41d18fc1e4817669080c0f3bf96c0b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/95551">The other big player in China is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3780" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pride Mega Yachts (Company)">Pride Mega Yachts</a>, located in the Yantai Shandong province. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3780" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pride Mega Yachts (Company)">Pride</a> is the yard that handled the construction of one of the largest Chinese-built superyachts: the 88.5-metre motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5634" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Illusion Plus88.5m (290'4&quot;)Pride Mega Yachts2018">Illusion Plus</a>. Currently all three shipyards are predominantly geared for export, they all have scope to expand their facilities if local demand grows – which it could.“China is completely closed off from Hong Kong at the moment, but this could change as Hong Kong is now part of the Greater Bay Area,” Reyment said. “The yachting infrastructure is waiting to happen in China – it’s just not there yet. Hong Kong is a great role model in that respect.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/95547/image/large-36050a0922739ff2d4925c9f3755d27e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/95547">“Hong Kong has been doing well with superyacht sales these last few years and has had a fair bit of success with the 40-45-metre category,” Joe Yuen, Chief Representative, Hong Kong and Macao at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/159" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Burgess (Company)">Burgess</a>, told SYT. “It’s been a slightly different story in the mainland and the market for imported superyachts is a lot slower. There is a demand for locally built superyachts, production boats and smaller yachts in the region, but not for those imported.”Yuen continued, “A lot of local owners want superyachts, but because of local restrictions there is a reduced appetite for larger pleasure vessels. We see a lot of smaller Chinese-built yachts going out fishing and day cruising around Southern China, but larger yachts aren’t a common sight.”Tax and flagging regulations are two issues. While there may be much lower tax imposed if an owner wants to fly a Chinese flag, it comes with restrictions. “Local yachts with a Chinese flag have limited access to domestic waters and need to apply for special permits to go abroad, so boats willing to sail globally would have to be registered as commercial,” Zwygart explained. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/208973/image/large-f6e2669d736b89cd112f3eb0d442eaed.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/208973"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/208974/image/large-b4a17d98ee52c159c2a131cb2bb91edd.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/208974">This explains the strong focus on export. It also provided an opportunity for other Asian shipyards to tap into the market. South Korean builder <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2478" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="GHI Yachts (Company)">GHI Super Yachts</a> "Phoenix Model Yachts", for one, supplies superyachts to its Chinese clients with an availability of flags and without an export tax. The largest yacht currently in-build at its facilities is the 39.6-metre motor yacht Legacy 135.Amidst heavy restrictions, there’s a lot of potentials. The market is maturing but the infrastructure needs developing and legislation needs lifting. There's also an issue with limited berthing available. Nonetheless, Roger Liang reports a growing number of “yachts on Hainan Island,” while this is positive the numbers “will take time to catch up” with the numbers of other affluent countries. If legislation is passed, there could be an upsurge – but, really, it’s difficult to tell.&nbsp;

What is on offer?

Built by the Hong Kong based shipyard, Kingship Yacht, and completed in 2012, the 41.9 metre steel and aluminium superyacht Star boasts naval architecture, exterior, and interior design all from the renowned Vripack team, with each piece of steel and aluminium individually cut in northern Europe before being shipped to Kingship for assembly.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/161569/image/large-fde1afb8aa68d4e6c55435dd1a0de40b.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/161569">

On board she accommodates her guests over a five en suite cabin layout, consisting of two twin cabins and two double cabins on the lower deck in addition to the large master suite on the main deck. A key feature onboard Star is her tender storage aft on the main deck with reinforced davits built into the overheads. She is able to carry two 7 metre tenders, multiple jet skis, and a variety of toys. Once launched this space turns into an excellent lounge area great for entertaining.

Why do we think this is such a great deal?

 

Star is in fantastic condition following an extensive interior refit in 2014 as well as a complete exterior paint job that was recently completed, leaving her with a gleaming white superstructure and navy blue hull. Her interior work saw carpets replaced with herringbone hardwood floors in both the main salon and sky lounge, whilst the soft goods, fabrics, and window treatments where refreshed making her interior décor neutral, yet sophisticated and inviting.

Fire damages superyacht Star

Barracuda Yacht Design unveiled three significant sailing yacht concepts at the Monaco Yacht Show last week. The new designs include a 42 metre modern classic ketch concept in collaboration with Pendennis, a 38 metre classic sloop in collaboration with JFA Yachts and a 36.5 metre Fly-Bridge sailing yacht in collaboration with Kingship Shipyard.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150949/image/large-41e92189f482457dd1b128eaa4f3a1b1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150949">The 42 metre classic ketch displays sharp, modern details, including painted surfaces and natural teak. Beneath the waterline, soft, flat lines for efficiency and a wide transom for good stability ensure a fast, compliant ride. The sail plan comprises a fully battened main and mizzen, with a self-tacking jib and overlapping Genoa, with downwind options for a Code-0 or furling Gennaker flown from the bowsprit.The design features a large, full-beam width owner’s suite with twin bathrooms, plus symmetrical guest accommodation for 8 people over 2 double and 2 twin cabins. All rooms benefit from large hull windows and luxurious appointments.Dedicated living spaces include an enclosed deck saloon with 360° views and an external central lounge protected by a permanently fixed bimini.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150950/image/large-479591603f3ef935575d209b696f9931.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150950">The 38 metre classic aluminium sloop concept is a practical and efficient design. Sporting a fairly tall rig intended for a 365m² high-roach mainsail, the sail plan offers a maximum sail area of 720m² and includes a self-tacking inner jib, large genoa and gennaker flown from the bow. Add to this a high aspect ratio rudder and the flexibility of a fully retractable deep bulb keel extending to a 4.60m draft and the prospect of either fast cruising, or competing at the front end of today’s international superyacht regattas with a suitably experienced crew becomes very real.Presented with three large double guest cabins with large bathrooms and generous wardrobe space, the design could be equally adapted to include four fairly equal size double cabins. She will have a build time of approximately 24-28 months and a potential completion and delivery for the beginning 2017.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150951/image/large-5ff89910f8845920aced4579ade0f5dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150951">Finally, the team at Barracuda Yacht Design announced the Asian shipyard, Kingship, requested the 36.5 metre fly-bridge sailing yacht design for an experienced owner looking for an orderly and ‘un-pretentious’ deck-house cruising yacht of high interior volume. The emphasis is on safe and relaxed cruising; with guests free to enjoy expansive, un-cluttered deck areas, including a large aft-deck lounge, wide side decks and a simplified foredeck.

High profile repeat bookings for Singapore Yacht Show 2015 

Since it’s beginnings in 2004, Hong Kong based company, Kingship, has rapidly established itself as one of the leading producers of superyachts in the world. SuperYachtTimes director Maarten travelled to the yard in China, to discuss current and future projects.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148845/image/large-916a194bf9ab6f0d8e24db5668b3bade.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148845">With facilities at ZhongShan port, the company is one of firsts; the first builder in Asia specialising in constructing superyachts with steel hull and aluminium superstructures as well as the first shipyard to build yachts in compliance with Lloyds and MCA in Asia. The quality of Kingship is reflected in the prestigious award from the industry, the title of Best Asian Motor Yacht Builder. They have also been certified with an ISO 9001:2008 Quality Assurance and Management System by Bureau Veritas.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148846/image/large-19a56b148f832a29ef9ec38283862836.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148846">It was founder, Roger Liang’s, firm belief in innovation and quality that brought Kingship into such vibrant life. Bringing together the most efficient, precise and reliable Dutch and German engineering, top quality European and US marine equipment and highly skilled Chinese craftsmanship, every Kingship yacht combines classic comfort and elegance with innovative ideas and technology. SuperYacht Times’ Maarten Janssen visited the shipyard in April, and viewed the three projects the shipyard are currently working on, the new build project, Green Voyager, refit of superyacht, Star, and finally, the new concept Catamaran series.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148847/image/large-4d27cb24cbdbea9a66966e69bb18f1e7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148847">44 metre Green Voyager, is currently in mid-build, and is due to be delivered in 2014. She is powered by twin C32 ACERT Caterpillar engines, giving her a top speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 13.5 knots. The revolutionary design concept combines luxurious comfort and environmental responsibility using specially designed equipment to ensure the most energy efficient and low emission yacht.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148848/image/large-fb4ddf24d96fe46bb01ce59ce7e3fddd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148848">Kingship is constructing this yacht for an Owner who seeks a high quality, low cost and low-impact motor yacht to cruise the world. One of her many fuel efficiency methods is an innovative power management system, with the requirement for her generators being only 2x 65kW, versus the standard 100kW used on a yacht of her size.Inside, Green Voyager features a five stateroom layout which extends living spaces to the exterior with full height windows and folding platforms which create lateral sea terraces. The ocean is further enjoyed with large open deck spaces on the sun deck, bridge and main decks forward and aft.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148849/image/large-8916f5a9cbfbc24675d4d948b64608f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148849">Kingship intends to achieve the highest Platinum level of Green Star Plus and hopes, in some areas, to exceed it. This means Kingships’ engineers and designer Axis Designs of Viareggio are concentrating on increasing efficiency in every area. Solutions will include heat reflecting glass, high efficiency insulation, heat recovery, heat pump calorifiers, gas treatment, ultra efficient props, and bio lubes, to name but a few.Green Voyager’s hull and superstructure are now complete, but with no seller on the horizon, Kingship have shifted their attention to their second project, the refit of Star.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148850/image/large-8c432172fc309a48db72747d98e787d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148850">Star was conceived as an adventurous luxury superyacht, aimed at sailing across the world's oceans. Designed by Vripack and built by Kingship in 2012, she was actually the first vessel to be launched by Kingship, and worked to confirm a solid reputation in the superyacht industry whilst proving the shipyard’s capacity to deliver top quality vessels at this level. The inaugural project boasts a traditional exterior look with lines showing a clean but interesting style. With a navy blue hull and crisp white superstructure, her smart and classic silhouette has connotations of a 60s style superyacht, built for both adventure and comfort. Star has a confident look that houses modern and refined interiors, with a laid-back and relaxing style. She easily accommodates up to twelve guests over five luxurious cabins, consisting of two doubles and two twins in addition to an impressive master suite.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148851/image/large-32e1b8f7f5ec81b0728971781b202ae1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148851">In regards to the current refit, Kingship are making small changes to the interior, as well as changing the new hull colour. The reason for such a recent refit is to make the yacht more appealing to a US market, as well as to ensure the boat is presented in its best possible light at the upcoming yacht shows around the world. Kingship founder Roger Liang comments, “We are planning to bring the boat to the Monaco Show. It’s our first boat to be presented to the market so we want it to look brand new. It’s actually a new boat but we want to present it in such a way that it’s really impressive, so we’re doing some interior work.”<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148852/image/large-8bead73e9298d25fd60ec90a99d5ea0d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148852">The third and final project being undertaken at the Kingship shipyard is the new catamaran series. The Kingship 55 Catamaran Motoryacht has been designed to offer more space and luxury than conventional yachts of the same size. With naval architecture and engineering by Bill Prince Yacht Design, Inc. The Kingship 55 Catamaran benefits not only from Kingship's excellent yacht building experience but also pedigreed engineering with an eye towards modern luxury.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148853/image/large-a78e3db0f8234bcf7e2e0a305b162da9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148853">The Catamaran can be custom-tailored to each owner’s performance preferences, be they for brisk, efficient cruising or just occasional outings at a hull speed of more than ten knots. With a beam spanning 7 metres, the Kingship 55 Catamaran feels like a much larger yacht inside and out. Four luxurious staterooms are available below decks. Discussing the project and it’s target market with SuperYacht Times, Roger Liang stated, “the Catamaran is conceived for the Chinese market. It’s a new market and it’s a market for people that are not familiar with yachts. So this catamaran has a lot of space. The Chinese always come with a lot of people, they want to use the boat for meetings, for entertaining, for family. One of the versions of this catamaran will be able to use an upward engine. It would be so simple that it will work very well in a market that is just beginning. It is conceived for China, but it will also work very well worldwide.”Photo by Maarten Janssen / <a href="https://www.superyachtphoto.com/media/" target="_blank">SuperYachtPhoto.com</a>
