Hainan Superyacht Rendez-Vous 2011 – the Top Yachting Event in China
Bolstered by the success of the 2010 Hainan Rendez-Vous, the event’s organizers announced strong demand from new potential exhibitors for Hainan Rendez-Vous 2011.
Several leading yachting brands have already signed up for the multifaceted, ultimate lifestyle event that will take up 50% more exhibition space than last April’s edition. Running from April 1st through April 4th, the Hainan Rendez-Vous 2011 is certain to be the year’s top yachting event in China with a unique flotilla that includes the largest yachts ever displayed on the mainland.
Organizers of the Hainan Rendez-Vous, China’s first and most influential business jet and super yacht show, announced today that 90% of the leading jet and yacht brands exhibiting in 2010 have already signed up to come back for the second edition. To accommodate exhibitors’ growing demand, the organizers had to extend the show and create over 50% more exhibition space from last year. The four-day lifestyle showcase running April 1 to April 4 comprises a business aviation exhibition, a high-end property collection, luxury brand displays as well as a super yacht show featuring the largest yachts ever seen in mainland China.
The Hainan Rendez-Vous demonstrated its potential as a platform for reaching China’s ultra high net worth individuals last April when several 100+ foot vessels were sold at the show. The event takes place on the idyllic shores of Hainan Island, a tropical paradise that is fast turning into China’s version of the French Riviera as world-leading five-star hotel chains and high-end property developers continue to invest heavily in the area. Crystal clear waters, fresh ocean breezes, white sand beaches and top level resorts serve as an ideal backdrop for the magnificent yachts and super yachts on display at the show.
Yacht manufacturers from last year’s Hainan Rendez-Vous that have already confirmeded attendance at the 2011 event include Azimut-Benetti, Ferretti Group, Luerssen, Blohm+Voss, Royal Huisman, Sunseeker China, Princess Yachts, Sunbird, Speedo Marine, Beneteau, Jeanneau, Lagoon, the Brunswick group,… Also joining the show next April as newcomers are Heesen Yachts, Kingship, San Lorenzo, Nautitech, Fountaine Pajot, Hudson Yachts, and many others to be signed in the coming weeks.
There will also be a slew of companies offering complementary goods and services to sailing enthusiasts seeking that all-inclusive luxury voyage, as well as a forum that brings together the most influential names in yachting to exchange ideas on all aspects of the nautical industry – from legal and environmental issues to nautical tourism in China and other related subjects.
Norberto Ferretti, Chairman and Founder of Ferretti Group, said:
“Last year Ferretti Group attended Hainan Rendez-Vous and we had very positive feedback from this experience. We look upon the event as more than a boat show: it’s a privileged opportunity to get in touch with Chinese and other potential clients and show them the excellence of Ferretti Group yachts.”
Top executives of leading Chinese enterprises will engage with their western counterparts at the show and expected guests include Caroline Gruosi-Sheuffele, Vice President of the renowned luxury brand Chopard; Peter Luerssen, CEO of Luerssen; Mr. Norberto Ferretti and Mr. Basile of the Ferretti Group (respectively CEO, Chairman and Founder); Alice Huisman, CEO of Royal Huisman; John Rosenvallon, President of Dassault, Habid Fekih, President of Airbus Corporate Jets. Ask any of these or other leaders of the boating and aviation industries and they will surely tell you that Hainan Rendez-Vous 2011 is a not-to-be missed event.
