Lantau Yacht Club ("LYC") is delighted to announce that Lantau Yacht Club Boat Show 2026, its annual boat show, will officially return from 6 to 8 November.
This year, the highly anticipated yachting event takes on an exciting new dimension by serving as a signature component of The Festival of Connoisseurs ("the Festival"). This groundbreaking initiative is designed to position Hong Kong as Asia's premier hub for luxury lifestyle, with the yachting and marine lifestyle acting as a core pillar of its "City-as-Your-Showroom" concept.
As one of Hong Kong's most anticipated yachting events, the LYC Boat Show has grown into a vibrant gathering that brings together top yacht and lifestyle brands, dealers, media partners, and yachting associations. The show has earned a stellar reputation for showcasing the finest luxury yachts afloat, attracting an impressive roster of prestigious exhibitors year after year. Following a highly successful edition last year that drew over 1,800 industry professionals and visitors and generated more than 280 media and influencer features, this year's show promises an even grander showcase of maritime excellence.
Mr. Franklin Mak, Executive Vice President of Hospitality at HKR International Limited, commented: "We are deeply honoured to be a key partner of The Festival of Connoisseurs. As Hong Kong's first and only 5 Gold Anchor Platinum Marina and Superyacht Ready Marina, LYC offers a truly unique maritime experience that underscores our leadership position in Asia. This year, we are especially excited to strengthen our cross-border collaboration with the Zhuhai maritime industry, and we look forward to showcasing the best of Hong Kong's maritime lifestyle on a global stage."
The yacht economy is a key driver of Hong Kong's high-value tourism and luxury sectors. It generates significant economic ripple effects across yacht maintenance, trading, financing, insurance, and hospitality, while creating thousands of jobs and attracting high-net-worth visitors. By anchoring the Festival's marine lifestyle pillar, the LYC Boat Show directly supports the Hong Kong SAR Government's strategic push to promote yacht tourism and economy, effectively translating policy support into a world-class event that enhances the city's maritime heritage and global appeal.
Strategic cross-border collaboration with the Zhuhai Maritime Industry
Marking a significant milestone in regional yachting industry development, the 2026 Boat Show introduces a prominent cross-border partnership highlighting the Zhuhai industry players as a featured exhibitor. This dedicated showcase features around 10 exhibiting Zhuhai yachts and 10 specialised technology booths showcasing advanced marine equipment, customised lighting fixtures, and marina engineering solutions. The displayed yachts include the Selene 6047 by Zhuhai Jieteng Shipbuilding, the Glitter68 catamaran by Zhuhai Haizhu Yacht Manufacturing, Raptor catamaran sailboat by McConaghy Boats and the 92-foot Power SHIP, the largest vessel in the showcase, by Zhuhai Aoxing Yacht. Also featured is a Cheoy Lee yacht, built by Hin Lee (Zhuhai) Shipyard, which is owned by Hong Kong's oldest shipyard Cheoy Lee Shipyards. This collaboration aims to strengthen ties with GBA stakeholders and position LYC at the forefront of the highly anticipated upcoming launch of the southbound travel of yachts scheme.
Lifestyle celebration across sea, land, and sky
This milestone 4th edition breaks new ground by delivering an unprecedented 3-in-1 lifestyle celebration uniting premier elements across Sea, Land, and Sky. Kicking off on the first day will be an official Opening Ceremony and an industry forum hosted by Invest HK to connect global stakeholders.
