The Marina at the Lantau Yacht Club represents the first dedicated superyacht berths to come onto the Hong Kong yachting scene in decades.
The Lantau Yacht Club (LYC) is now open and welcomed its first member yacht in August, marking a key milestone of Hong Kong’s newest state-of-the-art marina. the first member vessel, a 45-feet Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 479 sailed into the all-new Lantau Yacht Club marina. She was accompanied by visiting Ferretti Yachts 670, a well-appointed luxury motoryacht which recently made its Asian Premiere debut in Hong Kong.
Said Mr Victor Cha, Chairman of HKR International Limited (HKRI), a shareholder of the developer and operator of this premium member-only private club “We are delighted as Lantau Yacht Club embarks on a new journey. This is an important milepost for both Hong Kong Resort Co. Ltd. (“Hong Kong Resort”) and the yachting community in the region. LYC is setting a new standard and direction for marinas and superyacht industry development in Hong Kong and in Asia.”
The simple yet chic Marina Office will be the key gathering point before and after cruising trips. It is also the office of our Member Service, Concierge and Marina Operations teams who offer one-stop seamless service for all members and crew. Right in front of the Marina Office by the shore is the lawn patio where everyone can chill out and enjoy the captivating sea view of the South China Sea. The service yard, dry stack and hardstand are all ready to provide top notch professional maintenance and repair services.
“I am delighted to be the first member boat in the new LYC Marina. Its sturdy breakwater and pontoons and the stringent security measures are very reassuring, particularly during the typhoon season. As a long-time Discovery Bay resident, I have been very much looking forward to this new facility – its proximity to home, the ease of access to my boat, and the marina services, offer much greater safety and convenience, and mean that we can enjoy the beauty of local waters at any time, while making a long term base for exploration further afield,” said the owner of the first full member vessel of LYC.
Italian luxury yacht builder Ferretti Group recommends LYC as a new berthing option for current and potential yacht owners. “It is our pleasure to bring our new Ferretti Yachts 670 to the highly anticipated LYC Marina. We are impressed by the world-class infrastructure and provisions, as well as the professional team. LYC is one of the few new marinas opened in the region in the last decade. We believe more visiting yachts will come to Hong Kong and berth at LYC as it offers custom-built superyacht berths that were not available before,” said Mr Andrew Pitchford, Sales & Marketing Manager Asia Pacific of Ferretti Group. More members expected to moving into the LYC Marina in the coming months, while certain number of berths have been allocated for visiting yachts from overseas, there are also places for local yachts looking for safe shelter amidst the typhoon season.
