Part of the course on making Hainan Province into the centre of the Chinese yachting industry, local officials will open waters for temporary entry and exit by foreign yachts starting from July 16.
Starting from next week, nearly eight coastal areas of Hainan Province, including Boao and Nanshan, will be open for foreign-flagged yachts visit. Hainan will become the first administrative unit of China to adopt the legislation, albeit for a relatively short period of time. The policy will stay in action through January 15, 2020.
The provincial Cabinet has made the decision with the approval and even under some pressure from the central authorities of China. The latter see these islands established as the epicentre of the country's yachting life by 2035.
The next steps, aimed at achieving the goal, should be liberalisation of offshore duty-free trade and the promotion of cross-border cruise tourism.
Still, experts note that the yacht market in China has been very specific and closed in the recent years. In many ways, the reason for that is the policy of the Communist government of Xi Jinping, condemning the public demonstration of wealth, also through a 44% import duty and 36.5% domestic sales tax. Owning a superyacht in China is extremely difficult and unprofitable, that is why Chinese reach mainly avoid owning private yachts.

Over the past decade, Amels has produced a number of unique superyachts. During this time, the Dutch shipyard has repeatedly updated its lineup and is doing it again.
The Dutch manufacturer of luxury yachts AMELS has sold a new 62-meter superyacht - AMELS 206 from the AMELS Limited Editions series. An owner from the Asia-Pacific region will receive a yacht in the spring of 2020 and plans to go on a cruise around the world.
The Tim Heywood’s avant-garde exterior of a modern five-deck vessel harmoniously combines with a magnificent functional layout
The latest design of the Limited Editions superyacht combines classic solutions with the latest innovations, which also contribute to low noise and vibration.
“The AMELS 206 is a proven performer and a real headturner,” says AMELS and Damen Managing Director Rose Damen. “She is a beautiful yacht with striking curves. We’re proud to be completing this yacht for our client and can’t wait to see her on her maiden voyage next year.”
The superyacht has a sophisticated design and comfortable layout with 6 cabins on three decks. On the bridge deck there are 2 VIP cabins, and on the lower deck there is a “beach club” with direct access to guest cabins. A bathing platform of 29 m2 allows guests to relax in comfort thanks to the new design of the aft. On the left and right side of the ship there are folding balconies that add even more open space.
The owner chose an elegant color scheme in collaboration with exterior designer Tim Heywood and the AMELS design team - a light gray hull and a white superstructure.
With a length of 62.4 meters, the Amels 206 superyacht has several notable features. Firstly, the swimming platform turns into a springboard. Secondly, the transom door opens and demonstrates the space of a 35 m2 beach club, gym, SPA complex or another: the space will be used as the client wants. While the helipad for helicopters with a take-off weight of up to 3000 kg is not used, guests can enjoy the comfortable C-shaped lounge area in the bow. The garage for 8-meter and 6-meter tenders and water toys is located under the lounge area.
AMELS 206 is designed to accommodate 14 crew members with one service technician.
The huge interior spaces of the yacht offer luxurious accommodation for 12 guests.

Her exterior lines draw the eye to the bridge and owner’s decks surrounded by curved floor-to-ceiling mirrored glass, blurring the distinction between the upper deck and the panoramic skylounge.With accommodation capacity for 14 guests, Excellence offers a swimming pool and platform, as well as Jacuzzi and sprawling beach club and impressive limousine tenders.Hans Schaedla, CEO of Abeking & Rasmussen, stated earlier: We are very proud of this extraordinary yacht and our exceptional workforce, who mastered all requirements bravely. Never before have glass panels been installed in these dimensions. The unusual lines also repeatedly presented employees with major challenges.The 80-metre Excellence is the sixth Chambers’s vessel. Two other Abeking superyachts, the 61-metre Excellence V built for Chambers and the 78-metre Eminence, were sold in May and August 2019, respectively.

The 92-metre Feadship superyacht Aquarius launched in 2016 has been listed for sale. The vessel is believed to have been owned by US real estate businessman and entertainment magnate Steve Wynn.Luxury casino and industry entrepreneur, Steve Wynn created some of Las Vegas' most notable landmarks, including The Mirage, Treasure Island, Bellagio and Wynn Las Vegas. He also played a pivotal role in the resurgence and expansion of the Las Vegas Strip in the 1990s. At the moment, his net worth is estimated at $3.1 billion (Forbes).First known as Project Touchdown, the superyacht became Steve Wynn's newest flagship, replacing his previous 67-metre Amels Aquarius (which was eventually sold in November 2015 after several price reductions, at an asking price of €53,000,000). The 92-metre features exteriors and interiors by Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design, along with naval architecture by De Voogt. Aquarius' key features include a helipad on the bow, a beauty salon, a large pool on the aft main deck, a gym, massage and therapy room, Jacuzzi and large outdoor deck spaces.The superyacht is also highlighted with a water-level bar under her glass-bottom pool. When a party starts, the large pool can be transformed into a dancefloor. Her spacious swim platform meanwhile offers direct access to the guest gym with fold-down terrace and a beach club adjacent to a massage and beauty salon.As for the accommodation, 14 guests can be carried on board in 7 suites, including 6 VIP-suites forward on the main deck and an owner's suite on the upper deck. Speed wise, Aquarius is capable of 17 knots.
