Hainan Rendez-Vous will showcase a comprehensive fleet of yachts and superyachts from the world’s finest ship builders, making it a benchmark event for China’s exploding yachting industry.

The 8,000 highly targeted attendees will be able to view a variety of brands including Royal Huisman, a family-owned shipyard established in 1884 that has been awarded a Royal Warrant. Its 30,000 sqm purpose-built facilities keep it at the forefront of yacht-building, delivering custom yachts, classic or modern, sail or motor, ranging from 26m-90m.

Another standout company on show will be Van Peteghem Lauriot Prévost (VPLP), an expert in multihulls. The firm has designed some of the largest and most luxurious catamarans in the world including the schooner rigged “Douce France” 42m (138’), the largest yacht sailing catamaran ever built, and the soon to be launched 45m Hemisphere (146’).

Visitors will also be able to explore the wares of Brunswick, a brand that produces a variety of goods aside from yachts, including top of the range fitness equipment.

Hainan Rendez-Vous is a unique, lifestyle event showcasing Asia’s largest collection of business jets, yachts and super yachts, luxury homes and high-end Chopard jewellery on 15,000 sqm of exhibition space. It will be held from April 1-4.
