Hong Kong waters are tidy and lovely and the sail below Shenzhen was a breeze, visitors on Guangdong private yachts stated on Friday after docking here under a brand-new plan that enables them to moor, go ashore and check out the city.
A ship owner surnamed Sheng took a trip to the SAR on his 46-foot catamaran with 4 to 5 buddies.
“In the past, we could not dock or moor, and we could not go ashore.
“But now, with the travel scheme, yachts can sail south – and we can actually dock, go ashore and spend money here,” he stated.
A ship master surnamed Zhou stated he got about 2 days of training on Hong Kong water guidelines and berthing centers before departure.
He thinks the quick clearance and application treatments will substantially increase mainland private yacht owners’ determination to come to Hong Kong.
A guest on another luxury yacht, Eric Wang, informed RTHK he and his buddies are remaining in the SAR for 3 days.
“The journey was around 2 to 3 hours. The weather condition was truly good, it was an enjoyment. The surroundings was truly good,” he stated.
Wang stated his group of about 12 strategies to go playing golf and anticipates to invest a number of thousand Hong Kong dollars each.
“Me and my good friends wish to go to playing golf and check out around Hong Kong where vehicles can’t go to.
“Maybe we wish to wander around Victoria Harbour to see the city views, and perhaps leave the boat and do some shopping.”
