There are many yachts stored in the yacht sales center.
Double barrel houseboats, small luxury yachts, recreational fishing boats, and catamaran yachts.
The largest yacht has a length of 14.8 meters and a catamaran with a width of 7.2 meters. It is purely electric driven and has large photovoltaic panels installed on it.
The yacht's battery reserve is 650kwh. When all the solar panels are unfolded, it can generate more than 75kwh of electricity every day. When fully charged, it can cruise for more than twenty hours.
The configuration of this yacht is more advanced than the BGX75. It uses idle charging. When the battery is full, it automatically disconnects from charging...
That is to say, park the yacht at the dock, and the yacht will automatically charge using photovoltaics. Moreover, when you drive the yacht out for fun, you can also use it and charge it at the same time. If it is a low-speed cruise, there is basically no worry about battery life in places like Hainan where there is plenty of light.

Technology is always improving.
Solar catamarans have appeared a long time ago.
Cars can use electricity, and so can yachts.
Many people think that the fuel consumption of yachts is extremely exaggerated. But in fact, the fuel consumption of yachts varies greatly at different speeds.
The fastest speed of a pure electric catamaran is 14 to 15 knots, and the cruising speed is usually about 10 knots. This kind of boat is perfect as a leisure yacht.
Zhou Sheng has already paid for the 14.8-meter catamaran solar yacht. The full payment is... 7.9 million. This includes household registration, insurance and other expenses. At the same time, there is also a free one-year berth at the yacht dock.
A berthing area of 12 meters to 15 meters, one berth, and the catamaran is more expensive, 100,000 per year. It also includes maintenance and so on... about 300,000 per year, all-inclusive.
This is considered very cheap in domestic yacht marinas.
According to the maintenance regulations here at Jiuxing Wharf, if a boat does not frequent the boat, it must go ashore at least twice a year to clean the barnacles and touch up the paint.
Catamaran landing is a bit more troublesome, which is why the cost is so high.
But if it is a catamaran, 14.8 meters long, the cost of one is about 230,000 to 40,000 yuan.
There is also a sailboat in the sales center.
A sailboat about ten meters long, with a bedroom, a small living room, and a kitchen, costs more than a million for a good one, and hundreds of thousands for a cheap one.
The sales center also stated that buying a house is worse than buying a yacht.
There were a lot of people coming to look at the yacht. Over at the counter, when Zhou Sheng picked up the yacht, several people signed the contract for the yacht.
The first boat Zhou Sheng bought was the catamaran, which he had already negotiated with the shipyard.
The yacht was placed on the trailer, and a pickup truck came over and towed the yacht slowly out of the exhibition area.
Housing prices in Cheung Chau are expensive.
The cheapest small apartment, with one bedroom, one kitchen and one bathroom, has an actual area of more than 40 square meters. But if you include the shared area...
A house like that costs at least 700,000 yuan, and with some simple decoration, you can buy it for 750,000 yuan.
Yachts depreciate quickly, new boats are expensive, and second-hand boats are cheap.
The cheapest domestic sailboat, 14.5 meters, can be purchased for RMB 8 to 9 million.
But to be honest, buying a house is not as good as buying a yacht, so let’s get over it.
The yacht arrived at the dock and after launching it, Zhou Sheng went over and drank a bottle of champagne.
Jiuxing Yacht Marina is very large. There are already some yachts parked here, about 60 of them, and more than 50 fishing boats.
The parking fee at Jiuxing Yacht Marina is cheap, but it is difficult for yachts to become mass consumer products in China. Without a certain net worth, it is difficult to use a small boat of more than eight meters.
The governance of Houhai in recent years has received mixed reviews.
There are also some discussions on the Internet, and the discussions are very loud.
Cheung Chau is on the seaside and has a lagoon.
Many local people were born as fishermen and turned to farming when fishery resources were depleted.
However, in recent years, net fishing has been banned in Houhai. Fishing with nets has also been banned in offshore areas. Not only are fishing nets banned, but fishing boats are also directly blocked.
There was a fishing port before Xiaoshan Pier. The fishing port has been closed down. Whether it is offshore fishing boats or fishing boats that can run farther, they are all closed. However, there are subsidies for boat owners...
It’s not just Wanxian that does this. Fishing ports are basically closed on the east coast of the South Island.
Coral grows on a large scale on the east coast of the South Island.
There are more corals, and there are more places for fish to live. In recent years, there are a lot of fish on the east coast, especially when the tide goes out and the tide goes out, you can pick up fish wherever you go.
Net fishing is prohibited, but fishing is not prohibited.
And some fishing regulations have also been issued, some conventional fish species, marking that most fish can be taken away and sold. Small fish should be caught and released.
Chen Yuan didn't know about other places.
But here in Cheung Chau, there is great resistance to implementing these regulations. There have even been turmoils on the Internet.
However, with the development of Cheung Chau, there are more people. Many people find that the income from fishing is higher than before using fishing nets.
Because there are more fish, fishing becomes easier.
There are a large number of corals, seagrass and seaweed growing in Houhai. The ecology has improved, and nets have been banned, so there are naturally more fish. And there is no commercial fishing, only hand fishing, the cost has increased, and the price of fish... It also increased accordingly.
The price of hand-caught fish and live fish here in the South China Sea is about the same as that in Guangzhou and Fujian.
For a skilled fisherman, more than ten kilograms a day is enough. A dozen kilograms of fish, brought back alive, is at least three to four hundred. If valuable fish are caught in large quantities, they can even be worth more than one thousand.
Here in the South Island, sea fish used to be cheap. Now the price, mainly for caught fish, has more than doubled.
Live fish tastes more delicious. Fish caught from the South China Sea are much cheaper. However, the price of fish has been rising in recent years, mainly because there are fewer resources in the sea.
Fishing can also make money.
If you have good skills, the income of a professional fisherman is much better than working part-time.
Fishing men have become professional in Cheung Chau. Some of these people are traditional fishermen. They were dissatisfied with the local normalcy before, but now...
When traditional fishermen see someone setting off their nets, they will basically report it.
Traditionally, the income was not high. In recent years, the ecological environment of the South China Sea has been getting better and better, and some tough measures have been taken. There are more and more fish in the offshore. Fishing has become easier, the price of fish is also high, and the income from fishing is higher than before. Fishing with a fishing net is even higher.
Moreover, a skilled fisherman can easily earn tens of thousands a month. And there are not many such people.
The fishing boats parked at Jiuxing Yacht Marina are the fishing boats of professional fishermen. Nowadays, professional fishing has a name, New Fishermen.
With the environmental management of Houhai and the completion of the wharf, all ships can no longer be parked randomly, and they are all parked at the wharf.
Fishing boats are not big, usually within 12 meters. When docked for a year, plus maintenance, the cost is at most 30,000 yuan a year.
Fishing boats parked outside also require maintenance and upkeep, and parking fees are also required in many places. After all, parking at the pier is just a little more expensive. Not many fishing people have complained about this measure...
Before the yacht was built, they brought the fishing boat over.
