Learn About Berthing StrategiesWhat We Actually Solve
Two problems kill more Hong Kong yacht deals than anything else. We fix both.
The Hong Kong yacht market punishes information asymmetry. Brokers know what berths cost, what yachts really run, and what a vessel sold for last quarter — you don't. We close that gap before you sign anything.

The Berthing Crisis
Most HK buyers discover the berthing shortage after they've already bought a yacht. We map the 2026 government expansion and the private secondary market before you commit.

The Total Cost of Ownership
Fuel, crew, insurance, maintenance, depreciation. The real annual cost typically runs 2–3× what most first-time buyers budget, based on our HK Op-Ex benchmarks. Our Op-Ex modeler gives you the unvarnished number before you offer.

A 50ft yacht in HK costs HK$648K a year to run.
That's the real annual operating cost — not the sticker price. Most first-time buyers budget for the purchase and forget about everything that comes after. Our Op-Ex Calculator surfaces the full annual burden before you sign.
