Boating enthusiasts may bemoan the end of summer to signal the end of the season to
be out on the water, but not so for Hong Kong.Surrounded with loved ones, amazing weather, and turquoise waters, Hong Kong’s summer is best enjoyed at sea. Despite the gradually cooling weather, we’re fortunate in that Hong Kong’s ‘summer’ really only ends, realistically, sometime in November or December. And what better way to soak up this quasi-year-round sun than reclining on the deck of a luxury yacht?
In light of the current public beach closures, Hongkongers are taking to the sea on private vessels — and even if you aren’t a proud owner of a boat, there’s no time like the present to charter a yacht. Luckily, we’ve gone the extra (nautical) mile and rounded up the best luxury yacht charter companies in Hong Kong. All that’s left to do is step on board, kick off your shoes and get the Champagne flowing.

Large parties can be exciting, but in this day and age, smaller gatherings are in vogue again. Fortunately, M Yachts offers yacht charters to groups of all sizes. For a classy, intimate gathering, the historic Wayfoong — a 1930s-style steam ‘launch,’ or an open motorboat — is available for charter with M Yachts. 1930s charm while combining luxury and comfort, the Wayfoong is always a popular choice.
If you’re looking for more modern comforts, spend a day at sea with the luxury superyacht Sunseeker 131, Hong Kong’s largest charter yacht. With room for a jacuzzi and an open bar, guests can enjoy expertly curated cocktails by mixologist Michael Chen while on board.

For an enjoyable afternoon for seafood lovers, the highly-coveted Lady Lorraine is ideal.
