Yacht is not a gadget, buy yacht, management yacht, yacht formalities and other processes must not be careless.

Buying a Yacht Must Be Way

Generally speaking, the cost of buying a yacht should not be higher than 10% of its own assets, so if you buy a 500000 yacht, your own assets should be more than 5 million. At present, China's yacht market is divided into two levels: luxury imported yachts and ordinary domestic yachts. Europe and the United States have a profound cultural heritage of yachts. Correspondingly, the exquisite manufacturing technology, the maturity of the technical level, the luxury and high-end of the interior, the effective use of space, and the aesthetics of the hull are much higher than domestic yachts. However, it is precisely because of these advantages that imported yachts are listed as luxury goods and need to pay a high tax burden. In contrast, the price of domestic yachts is more people-friendly and popular.

Whether it is imported or made in China, it poses a difficult problem for customers who are not familiar with yachting: how to distinguish fake yachts when fake products are popular today?

All the shoddy yachts currently appearing have three source:

First, second-hand yacht renovation. Yacht is a kind of imported goods, which has flourished in developed countries and has become a must for ordinary rich people. The strong demand and considerable transaction volume directly create a frequent replacement rate. Some businesses will let the second-hand yacht put on a gorgeous coat again, "fake and real", no matter how gorgeous the coat is, the second-hand yacht is difficult to match the new yacht in terms of service life, safety, performance, etc., and there is a great sense of "gold and jade are defeated by others.

Second, the sample ship. In order to make a stunning debut at the yacht show, both yacht manufacturers and yacht sellers will bring their own brand of carefully prepared sample ships to the exhibition every year. After the scenery exhibition, driven by interests, some manufacturers simply renovated these sample ships and sold them on the same platform as the real new ships. As everyone knows, the sample ship is just an upgraded version of the model!

Third, stock yachts. The financial turmoil has caused many brand-new finished ships to be unsalable. Once the yacht is put on hold, the mechanical part will have various hidden dangers due to the lack of normal operation. In the post-financial era, some manufacturers are willing to sell long-stored yachts as new ships at reduced prices.

It can be seen that yacht enthusiasts and manufacturers present a complete information asymmetry game state, then, can it be solved? Yes, the equilibrium solution of this game is to find a regular large enterprise to buy yachts. Regular large enterprises in the economic strength, management system, credit qualification, service quality and other aspects of the index is very high, to avoid the worries of customers.

Yacht management don't be casual

After buying a yacht, the next step involves the management of the yacht. The content of yacht management is complicated and not easy. Looking at home and abroad, the management of yachts can be summed up in the following ways:

First, it is directly handed over to the yacht sales company at the time of purchase. Many shipowners choose this method because the yacht sales company has professional maintenance personnel, so that the maintenance and maintenance of the yacht can be more convenient, worry and effort. But this approach can not avoid a phenomenon-moral hazard and reverse selection.

Second, the yacht owner to manage their own. Many yacht owners think that the management of yachts is very simple, and hiring a captain and several sailors can handle it perfectly. As everyone knows, yacht management requires professional captains and sailors to maintain cleanliness, otherwise there are bound to be many problems, because of small losses.

Third, to the yacht club to manage. In foreign countries, most yachts are managed by clubs. In line with the development momentum of China's yacht industry, yacht clubs have sprung up, and most of them can also provide yacht management services. However, judging from the current situation of domestic yacht clubs, management is not their strong point, but more inclined to focus on berth leasing, membership development, yacht leasing and sales, and even the development and sales of yacht-related real estate.

Fourth, to a professional yacht management company to be responsible. At present, there are some yacht management companies in China, which provide customers with transportation, certification, cleaning, maintenance and maintenance services. Because of their professionalism, they can rest assured.

Small details of yacht management, university asked

1. Yacht transportation

Compared with domestic yachts, imported yachts pay more attention to the quality of yacht transporters, which is directly related to the cost, safety and efficiency of yacht transportation. A professional yacht logistics provider should not only be able to integrate resources to reduce logistics costs, but also make use of professional transportation facilities and personnel to ensure that yachts are subject to minimal wear and tear. More importantly, they can arrive in Hong Kong within the scheduled delivery period, Let the owner usher in their own boat as soon.

2. Yacht License Handling

Like cars, yachts also need licenses, and license procedures are far more complicated than cars. Customs declaration, licensing and accreditation are indispensable. Generally involved are: ship name application, ship ownership registration, ship inspection certificate, ship nationality certificate, navigation visa maintenance, etc. The smooth handling of the above licenses depends on the good relationship with the local maritime bureau and the local ship inspection office. Generally, only professional yacht management companies can help boat owners to handle the above procedures smoothly.

3. Maintenance

Because of the scarcity of Chinese yacht culture, most people know little about the accessories, maintenance and maintenance of yachts. The high value of yachts determines that their maintenance needs to be operated by experienced engineers with professional training, which generally involves the following items: engine repair, maintenance and comprehensive inspection; Regular maintenance of generators; Maintenance of other equipment (air conditioner, steering gear, anchor machine, side pusher, annual inspection, etc.); yacht overhaul (paint, gel coat repair, polishing and waxing); Various faults existing in the yacht; All kinds of spare parts required on the yacht and consumables such as touch ball, cable, polishing wax, cleaning supplies, etc.

4. Club management

The yacht club is the central nerve of the conversion of pre-manufacturing, mid-term sales and later leisure and maintenance. It can be said that without the development and growth of the club, there will be no development of the yacht industry. Generally speaking, the functions of yacht consumption service are mainly undertaken by yacht clubs. Strictly speaking, the business functions of the yacht club should include: star hotels, leisure vacations, business negotiations, social entertainment, villas, water life, water sports training, yacht maintenance, etc. However, due to the large amount of investment, long approval cycle, long construction cycle and large capital recovery cycle of real yacht clubs, these four mountains have a long way to go for the fledgling Chinese yacht industry. Most of the existing clubs are small yacht clubs that cater to the market demand. According to incomplete statistics, although there are more than 100 yacht clubs in China, there are less than 10 clubs that have formed and initially have various functions of yacht clubs.

Yacht development needs "backstage"

The yacht industry, especially the yacht club, has the characteristics of "large input and slow output", which determines that this industry needs the sincere care and policy support of the government.

1. Policy support: As a new thing, the development of the yacht industry still faces many policy obstacles, and the yacht-related management regulations lag behind, which has become a "stumbling block" in front of the Chinese yacht industry. If Chinese yachts want to "swim", National policy breakthroughs and local government support are urgently needed.

2. Waterway and regional navigation support: China has more than 18000 kilometers of coastline, 6500 large and small islands, and 9000 lakes. Such data makes everyone in the yacht industry excited. However, China's yacht navigation area is divided and controlled, and lacks unified management, so that yachts from different parts of the country cannot sail across regions. This political geography artificially divides the beautiful natural geography of eastern China, which seriously affects the enthusiasm of the middle and high-yield class to buy yachts and blocks the future of the Chinese yacht market.

3. Tax relief and unified standards: huge taxes and fees are required for overseas yachts to be transported to China. From the current law of our country, imported yachts face 10% consumption tax, 10% tariff and 17% value-added tax, and the comprehensive tax burden is as high as 43%. In addition to tax restrictions, there is no clear domestic standards for importing yachts. For example, when applying for a yacht license, yacht owners must submit design drawings to judge the safety of the yacht, which poses an intellectual property risk to foreign yacht manufacturers.

4. Simplified procedures: A yacht with completely legal documents must apply to the China Classification Society and the Maritime Safety Administration for ownership certificates, ship inspection certificates, nationality certificates, etc. Only when these documents are complete can insurance be purchased and navigation rights can be obtained. But the general yacht manufacturers for intellectual property rights and patent protection considerations, will not provide buyers with yacht design. According to the current relevant regulations in China, if the design drawings cannot be provided, these certificates cannot be handled.

5. Complete industrial planning: For yachts, from design, manufacturing to navigation, consumption, from berthing infrastructure to system development policies, it is still in a fragmented state, and even some blank areas appear. Complete industrial planning can speed up the yacht industry. Adjustment and revitalization. In the developed countries of yachts, there are not only abundant waterways, but also reasonable distribution of supply station outlets along the coast, which can refuel, add water and recharge yachts at any time. There are also many yacht bays and yacht harbors for berthing boats, and there are more perfect and powerful coastal ship patrol agencies and air service agencies. China's yacht consumption started late, not only these supporting facilities are not in place, but also there is a big gap in the development of upstream and downstream industries such as marine engines, guidance equipment, yacht service industry and so on.

6. The establishment of public supporting facilities: As yachts are an emerging industry, the corresponding yacht supporting infrastructure also lacks normative standards, resulting in the construction of government authorities "unable to follow" and "no rules to follow" for acceptance. The yacht marina is the carrier of the huge industrial chain of the yacht industry. Only when the yacht marina is built can other supporting industries flourish on this carrier, resulting in a cluster effect. In China, which has a coastline of 18000 nautical miles, there is currently no public yacht marina, which is undoubtedly very detrimental to the development of the yacht industry. Government-led, policy promotion, financial support is particularly important.

7. Talent training: As the yacht industry has just emerged in China, there is a lack of professional talents, and there are no relevant courses and majors in high efficiency. Most of the existing yacht talents come from yachts. The lack of talents has become a major obstacle to the "swimming" of the industry. Colleges and universities need to be far-sighted, set up the yacht industry chain to correspond to majors and disciplines, and cooperate with schools and enterprises to work together for the development of the yacht industry.
