Sails Up, Glam On: Sanya Debuts Yacht Spectacle
The 5th China International Consumer Products Expo just dropped its coolest feature yet: a floating paradise at the Sanya International Yacht Pavilion! Over 62 exhibitors from 20+ countries and regions brought ≈150 swanky yachts—think of it as Coachella for maritime trendsetters.
Yachts Meet Lifestyle Extravaganza
The ‘A Thousand Yachts, Setting Sail for the Future’ theme wasn’t just hype. Visitors dove into yacht wedding showcases, deep-sea diving demos, and static displays across 166,800 sqm (90% on water!). Imagine saying ‘I do’ on a luxury deck or snapping TikTok-worthy sunset pics!
UK Steals the Marine Spotlight
As this year’s guest nation, the UK turned heads with a pavilion fusing classic boat-building craftsmanship with tech-forward marine innovations. Visitors even got to ‘race’ in simulators inspired by the Volvo Ocean Race—no life jackets required.
Government Waves Support for Yacht Boom
‘We’re boosting yacht-friendly policies,’ said Li Gang from China’s Ministry of Commerce. Plans? More public berths, ‘Yacht+’ consumer projects, and turning Sanya—already home to 1,400 yachts—into Asia-Pacific’s top maritime hub.
Sanya’s Big Blue Ambition
Local leader Wang Qiyang vowed to make Sanya a one-stop hub for yacht R&D, sales, and services. The expo closed with the ‘Sanya Yacht Industry Initiative,’ a global call to anchor innovation and sustainability in marine economies.
