With a shopping guide following you, you won't feel like a headless fly when visiting the boat show, and you can also board a luxury yacht to visit.
This year's boat show is very large and divided into several exhibitions. The farthest one requires driving...
Chen Yuan and the others first went to the second-hand yacht exhibition area for sale. There were hundreds of large and small yachts here. Most of them were small yachts, and those within ten meters in length were more luxurious speedboats. There were also large yachts, but there were no particularly exaggerated yachts.
.
"Second-hand yachts, are there any sailboats in the TAITI.DAY.CHARTERS series?" Zhou Sheng asked.
The sailboat Chen Yuan mentioned is the Fontainebleau brand, and the representative one is TAITI 80. TAITI 80 is a mass-produced model. If other sizes are needed, it needs to be customized. The main customer base of this type of sailboat is hotels, resorts, etc., used for sightseeing, or
"There are no second-hand boats." The tour guide said, "Only new boats."
The ship models on display can be found online, including two TAITI 80s. Due to different configurations, converted into RMB, one is priced at 9.59 million and the other at 11.89 million.
The hardware of the ship is the same, and the configuration is mainly an open area design.
"That boat?" Zhou Sheng saw a Bluegame BGX70 and patted Chen Yuan: "Go up and have a look."
"Let's go."
The Bluegame brand now has three series, BG, BGX, and BGM.
BGM is a catamaran.
The two series BG and BGX cannot be said to be similar in appearance, they can only be said to be exactly the same. But with an extra X, they are much more expensive.
Parked next to BGX70 is a Sanlorenzo SL106, a Sanlorenzo yacht.
Bluegame.BGX70 is a brand of Sanlorenzo, and the design of the Bluegame yacht is inspired by the Sanlorenzo SX series.
The biggest feature of the BGX is the rear deck, which is just a little above the waterline and very long, like the rear deck of an expedition boat.
The BGX series is defined as a sports multi-purpose boat that can be used as a fishing boat, an accessory boat, or an open yacht.
But don’t mention it, this yacht is very handsome. After all, it is a yacht that has won a design award. Its appearance and comfort are beyond words.
There is a sign on the back deck with some yacht information, such as delivery time, engine usage time, and price.
"3.95 million euros?" Chen Yuan looked at Chen Yuan: "What is the exchange rate between the euro and the RMB?"
"About 1 to 7.4." Chen Yuan.
"Why is it so expensive? This boat is only 21.85 meters long." Zhou Sheng said.
"Those with X are much more expensive," Chen Yuandao said.
This BGX70, a new ship, seems to cost 5 million euros to complete, and the Luo ship also costs 4.3 million euros.
Specifically why it was so expensive, Chen Yuan and the others went in for a tour and roughly figured it out. The space of the ship was much larger than it looked, and the interior space felt very good and luxurious.
"Are you interested?" Zhou Sheng asked after looking around.
Chen Yuan said: "I will take a look at the BGX75 tomorrow. I am worried about battery life. The battery life of the X70 is too short."
BGX70 and BGX75 look exactly the same, and the internal layout is exactly the same. However, BGX75 is a limited edition and was only launched this year. There are 7 ships in total, and three have been delivered.
BGX75, a limited edition, just solves the worries about battery life. This yacht has an extra large fuel tank and is defined as a luxury multi-functional cruise yacht. It lacks the word "sport", but the cruising speed is also 25 knots.
Because it is a new yacht, a lot of data has not yet been exposed. There is one at this boat show, and I don’t know if it has been sold. I only know that the maximum endurance is 1,350 nautical miles.
As for the BGX70, there is no need to look at the fuel tank capacity...
Generally speaking, as long as the luxury sports yacht is not a special version, its range is about 300 nautical miles, and rarely exceeds 500 nautical miles.
After seeing the BGX70, Chen Yuan and the others went to the Sanlorenzo SL106 next door. This is a luxury yacht with a length of 32.31 meters, a width of 7.05 meters, an engine use time of 361 hours, and a price of 5.25 million euros.
"The interior is a little worse," Chen Yuandao said. It's not a little worse. Compared with the BGX70 I just looked at, it's not even the slightest bit worse.
In recent years, the global economy has been in recession, and yacht sales have been much lower than before. There are many second-hand yachts on the market...
On global yacht trading websites, previously rare yachts, such as the Porsche GT 115, are for sale.
At this boat show, there were more second-hand yachts than new ones, much more, and the prices were even cheaper.
For example, a sailboat of about 13 meters, converted into RMB, used to cost more than one million, but now it can be bought for eight to nine hundred thousand, or seven to eight hundred thousand.
"Look there." Zhou Sheng discovered something new and strange again.
An open luxury fishing boat, estimated to be 13 to 14 meters long, equipped with three Mercury V12 engines.
"Go over and take a look," Chen Yuandao said.
The two walked over quickly.
It's an open fishing boat type, with three Mercury V12 engines. It's something, and it says the length is 12.63 meters...
One Mercury V12 has 600 horsepower, and three have 1,800 horsepower. They are 12.63-meter open fishing boats. If these were fully powered, a wave would spiral into the sky.
There is a price tag on it. If converted into RMB, this yacht is about 1.81 million.
"The engine has only been used for 95 hours..." Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan: "Are you interested?"
"The engine is good." Chen Yuan said.
Mercury V12 costs more than 80,000 euros each, which is equivalent to giving away the hull for free.
Continuing to wander around, Chen Yuan soon discovered something good again, several Williams high-performance jet tenders, which looked brand new.
Zhou Sheng's eyes lit up when he saw the price.
Sportjet 395, priced at 11,000 euros, or 81,400 yuan.
The RMB has appreciated a bit in recent years, and its influence internationally has become much greater than before.
Of course, the US dollar is still the mainstream in the world.
However, the Singapore Boat Show mainly targets Asian customers, and the most important customer group is China. At the second boat show, yacht prices are marked in euros, US dollars, RMB, and Singapore dollars.
"It's not expensive. For the Williams brand, it's very cheap." Chen Yuan looked at the detailed introduction above and said, "If you don't want it, I'll take it."
Sportjet 395 has a length of 3.3 meters and a width of 1.7 meters. The bottom of the hull is made of aluminum alloy. If you buy a new boat, it will cost about 37,000 euros.
A tender is simply a toy placed on a large yacht.
Zhou Sheng read the boat condition description and found that this auxiliary boat was almost brand new.
There are three more here, one is Minijet 280, length 2.79 meters. One Turbojet 285, length 2.9 meters. One Evojet 70, length 7.1 meters.
The prices, converted into RMB, are 50,000, 61,000, and 350,000 respectively.
"Let's buy one and use it for commuting between the islands." Zhou Sheng said.
Chen Xin blinked and looked at Chen Yuan: "Brother, buy them all."
"Let me take a look at the engine." Chen Yuandao.
Zhou Sheng chuckled beside him.
Williams' tenders are extremely expensive when new. Now it all depends on the age of the engine and how long it has been used. If the engine is in good condition, this is a big leak.
But if you want to buy a tender, you should buy a brand new one. It’s not easy to sell second-hand tenders.
And that Evojet costs 700,350,000, which is definitely a great value. Although it is only 7.1 meters, it weighs 2 tons, and its engine has 250 horsepower, and it is a Yanmar engine.
This type of small attached boat is usually sold together with a larger yacht. If bought separately, the brand premium is particularly high.
Chen Yuanzi looked at it carefully and found that the boat was in very good condition, just like a new boat.
"Can I buy it?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"Buy it." Chen Yuan said with a smile: "I'll keep the 7-meter one, and you can choose whatever you want from the remaining three."
