There are other tenders next to the Williams tender.
There are also some more arrogant beings among them...
For example, the R27 tender of the Ribbon Yachts brand, or the Wider 32’ of the Wider brand.
Looking at these luxury tenders, Chen Yuan was a little confused: "What exactly happened? Both the R27 and Wider 32' tenders were sold separately."
Zhou Sheng spread his hands: "The R27 is not bad. Although it is an attachment boat delivered in 2021, it still looks like new."
The condition of the other Wider 32’ is much worse. It has been involved in a collision. This boat has not been well maintained and is rusty in some places.
The second-hand yacht exhibition area is like a flea market, with hundreds of boats of various sizes, ranging from ultra-luxury yachts of tens of meters to small water propellers for one person.
It was Chen Yuan's first time to come to such a large boat show, and he was surprised.
Zhou Sheng has seen several boat shows in Singapore, such as the boat show in May this year. Although there are also second-hand yachts, they are not many in number, and most of them are large boats on display on the water.
"Go over and take a look at the catamaran." Chen Xin said.
Chen Yuan signed the order, paid the deposit, and followed Chen Xin to the water exhibition area after receiving the invoice.
"Look at this, a 115-foot luxury yacht." Zhou Sheng looked at the white yacht next to him. The yacht is 35 meters long, 8 meters wide, and has a flybridge layout.
From the outside, the yacht looks in good condition, at least it looks like new.
"The engine has only been used for 330 hours..." Chen Xin looked at Zhou Sheng.
"Carter's engine, 1000 hp x 2." Chen Yuandao.
"Go up and have a look." Zhou Sheng saw the price of this yacht, 8.2 million, and was immediately moved.
This is a Chinese-made yacht, and it should be more than just second-hand.
After getting on board, the decoration on the ship was actually pretty good. But the price of 8.2 million euros was hard to understand.
Luxury yachts of the same size, second-hand... basically cost tens of millions. If it is Italy or some European countries, the price is basically one thousand to several million, twenty to thirty million.
"How about buying this yacht to transport tourists to the island?" Zhou Sheng asked.
This yacht is very good-looking. The appearance is very similar to the style of foreign luxury yachts, but the interior is a little stretched. But after all, it is 35 meters long, so it is very tall.
"This boat is not very fast. It takes more than ten hours to travel from Suva to the resort, and the fuel cost is high." Chen Yuan said: "Let's look at others."
There are sailboats next to it, but they are private sailboats and are not very suitable for resort use.
It was evening before I knew it.
"Aren't you going to buy a motorboat? Let's go see what second-hand motorboats are like." Chen Yuan said.
"I'm going sailing this year, and the price of second-hand boats is so cheap." Chen Xin said, "I can buy a few more."
Whether it is cheap or not depends on the model and brand of the boat. In addition, foreign second-hand boats are not expensive in nature, and many second-hand boats have been used for many years.
However, the market for second-hand boats this year is particularly poor, and the prices are indeed much cheaper. Especially yachts with fiberglass hulls...
There are not many second-hand motorboats, there are more than a dozen, and they are all old models with some years of use. If you really think about it, second-hand motorboats actually retain their value.
It's getting late.
Zhou Sheng left a phone number with the shopping guide and made an appointment to drive to the hotel to pick them up tomorrow morning.
Chen Xin took her mobile phone and found a restaurant: "Brother, let's eat steak."
"Let's go." Chen Yuan said with a smile.
Zhou Sheng put his arm around Chen Yuan's shoulders: "Bombardier or Yamaha for motorboats."
"Why don't you choose another brand?" Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"If you have to choose, choose a big brand."
"Bombardier."
"I also prefer Bombardier, but it's too expensive."
"The entry-level price is about 60,000 yuan," Chen Yuandao said.
The entry-level Bombardier Spark motorboat used to cost over 60,000 yuan. Now, if you purchase multiple units at one time, it should cost less than 60,000 yuan.
Walking to the restaurant, Chen Xin ordered steak and a bottle of red wine...
Zhou Sheng and Chen Xin talked about motorboats and boat pick-ups.
The best choice for transporting tourists to the island from a hundred kilometers away is a sailing boat. A catamaran is spacious, economical, and of high quality.
As for the choice of motorboats, as well as the quantity, the two were entangled.
Early the next morning, the shopping guide drove over to pick them up and brought them to the main exhibition area.
The main exhibition area is full of new ships.
A boat show is a trade fair.
At this boat show, except for some special yachts, there are basically discounts, which are cheaper than purchasing them individually.
For example, Bombardier's entry-level motorboats are priced at about RMB 57,000 each at the exhibition. Apart from the appreciation of the RMB, there are indeed discounts, and one model is several hundred cheaper.
There are not many new models of yachts this year, and the most popular one is the BGX75. The price is particularly beautiful, costing 8.5 million euros.
BGX70, the original top equipment of a new ship is 5 million euros. The second-hand ship is 3.95 million euros, but it is a ship more than three years ago.
8.5 million euros, approximately 62.9 million yuan. There are many yachts available at this price, but most of them are sports yachts.
Chen Yuan wants a long-range yacht.
BGX75, low-speed cruising, has a maximum range of 1,350 nautical miles. High-speed cruising, has a range of 1,100 nautical miles.
However, high-speed cruising is only 25 knots.
BGX75 is a new ship and requires advance reservation or VIP customers from some banks to board the ship for a visit. X75 continues the style of this series, with an even more exaggerated extension of the aft deck. A large section of the aft deck is extended and can be extended and lowered into the water as a play
water platform.
The yacht uses an aluminum alloy hull, and a large amount of carbon fiber and composite materials are used in the water surface part. The empty weight of the entire ship is 0.5 tons lighter than the BGX70, which is 39.5 tons in weight.
The interior space is similar to that of BGX70 and BG72. But there is one difference. This vessel has two sleeping cabins, a master cabin, a double bed cabin, and a berth cabin with bunk beds.
Some 70-foot yachts have three bedrooms. This X75 also has three rooms, but one of the bedrooms was converted into a entertainment room with a mahjong table... It's outrageous. I don't know if the designer has that in mind.
sick.
Chen Yuan was originally very excited and liked this boat, especially the stern design and the large glass cabin.
The cabin has extra large glass, and the glass lighting is just a little above the waterline. Especially the master bedroom, the large glass on both sides is particularly handsome.
But in this recreation room, with a mahjong table fixed in the middle, Chen Yuan instantly stopped wanting it.
There is a mahjong room on a yacht, which is nothing new.
In order to please Chinese customers, some yacht manufacturers even design separate mahjong rooms for some mass-produced yacht models.
This BGX75, at first glance, is aimed at the Chinese customer base.
Leave the yacht and find Zhou Sheng and the others.
"How about that BGX75?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"It's good, but the designer has a clever idea and changed the original double-bed guest bedroom into a mahjong room." Chen Yuan said, "I'll take another look. If there's nothing I like, I'll order a normal X75.
.”
"How many mahjong rooms are there? When you get bored at sea, you can sit down and play mahjong together. It's so comfortable." Chen Xin's eyes shone.
Chen Yuan nodded: "It's a mahjong room. Do you think a 22.86-meter yacht is suitable for a mahjong room?"
"It's suitable. What's wrong with it?" Chen Xin said, "It's great to have a mahjong room. I like playing mahjong."
Chen Yuan doesn't play mahjong himself, so he thinks the mahjong room is very useless, but looking at Chen Xin, the mahjong room seems to be particularly attractive to her.
Chen Yuan glanced at Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng spread his hands: "You know I don't play mahjong either."
Chen Yuan looked at Chen Xin, took out the black card from his pocket, pointed at the X75: "Go up and have a look."
Chen Xin nodded with a smile and said: "I think the mahjong room is pretty good anyway. It would be more comfortable if we invite girls like Xiao Xi, He Huan and others to play mahjong on the boat."
"He Huan has become a mother and still cares about girls." Chen Yuan complained.
It seems that Yan Xiaoxi also likes to play mahjong.
Going aboard X75, Chen Yuan paid attention to Chen Xin's expression. She really liked this yacht, but it was so expensive.
Chen Xin's expression said it all.
A yacht that can be equipped with a mahjong room, or a yacht that can be driven by one person, has a mahjong room, which is a bit strange.
Chen Yuan looked at Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng spread his hands: "I also think it's strange to have a mahjong room on a yacht."
Chen Xin looked contemptuous: "Let's go see TAITI 80, finish things early, and go back early."
"Do you really think it would be good to have a mahjong room?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Of course. If a group of people go out to play, it won't be as boring as a mahjong room." Chen Xin said.
"We're going to see the catamaran." Zhou Sheng said.
"good."
Chen Yuan stayed on his own, visited the X75 again, took a deep breath, and found the dealer...
There are quite a complete range of BG series yachts on display this time, including one X75 and one BG42, with a total of 9.3 million euros.
In addition, X75 comes with a Turbojet 325 tender, a Williams high-performance jet tender, which is standard on luxury yachts. It also comes with a single stand-up light motorboat and two Seabob F7 (underwater propellers)
.
This is Chen Yuan's retaliatory consumption. An X75, with a length of 22.86 meters and a width of 5.78 meters. High-speed cruising is 25 knots and economical cruising is 21.5 knots. The boat capacity is 39.5 tons. The draft is 1.59 meters. 8.5 million euros.
BG42 has a length of 12.95 meters, a width of 4.36 meters, a maximum speed of 38 knots, and a weight of 11.5 tons. It weighs 11.82 million euros.
I bought 4 second-hand Williams attachment boats and got one as a gift when I bought a yacht, a total of 5.
The lengths are 7.1 meters, 3.3 meters, 2.9 meters, and 2.79 meters respectively.
The 7.1-meter attached boat can be used as a multi-functional speedboat, and the remaining boats are toys.
