Asia Yachting showcased nine yachts by Prestige, Monte Carlo Yachts, Fountaine Pajot and Nautique at its successful on-water Open Day on the south side of Hong Kong Island. Over 150 guests attended the Asia Yachting Open Day over the two days, which included shuttle transfer to a floating showcase in the middle of Repulse Bay.
Prestige enjoyed the standout display and included the French builder’s flagship, widebody X70 as well as the 420, 520, 590 and 680 flybridge models.
Another favourite was Monte Carlo Yachts’ MCY 70 Skylounge, which was moored separately to the other boats at the floating showcase. Adapted from the new MCY 70, the Skylounge version offers an enclosed flybridge featuring the yacht’s only one helm station.
The Skylounge design offers larger and more numerous indoor areas, and increases the ability to be used in all seasons, an attractive feature especially among the retired guests, according to Asia Yachting.
Nautique G23 and G25 Paragon wakeboats were also on show and proved popular with younger guests. The G25 Paragon features a 600hp engine and a configurable lounge area that converts from a social space to viewing area, ideal for a group of friends. A Fountaine Pajot MY6 power catamaran was also on show at the platform.
Olivier Besson, Asia Yachting’s founder & CEO, said: “We are grateful that this on-the-water boat show turned out very successfully. It’s a great way to make use of Hong Kong’s spectacular coastline and islands. Two Nautique boats and two Prestige yachts were sold recently, so we couldn’t be happier with this achievement this summer.”
