SAILING BOATS

Hong Kong has some of the most exciting and challenging sailing in South-East Asia, with 1 Olympic gold medal, 3 months of winter monsoon, 7 marinas, 12 annual overseas regattas, 263 islands and 733 km of coast line to show for it.

HOUSEBOATS

Having stayed on boats ever since he landed in Hong Kong in 2013, the Boater soon acquired a taste for life on the water: the sea breeze, the open skies, the daily ritual of the sampans and the blessed peace at the end of a long and busy day in the city.

MOTOR BOATS

Boats for angling and boats for blue-water fishing, boats for water skiing and for wakeboarding, boats for showing off, for having parties, for sailing over to the islands for dinner and for overnighting in Double Haven: Hong Kong is home to all forms and sizes of motor boats and yachts.

MOORINGS

Thanks to our transparent business practises and our network of trusted local partners, spanning Hong Kong’s waters from Tung Chung to Tai Po and the South Side, The Boater has become Hong Kong’s #1 resource for moorings rental and purchase listings.

At sea a fellow comes out. Salt water is like wine, in that respect.
