Yachts in Hong Kong: prices, charter and rules

Updated 4 November 2026

A used sailing yacht in Hong Kong starts at about HK$210,000, a motor yacht of model 35 costs roughly HK$0.9 to 3.4 million, and 48 to 55 ft motor yachts are listed from about HK$6.9 to 16.6 million. Charter listings start near HK$3,500. For current prices, describe the boat you want in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rules for visiting and registered yachts

Visiting yachts need the Marine Department's permission to navigate in Hong Kong waters. Since 2016 the requirements for that permission have been relaxed, but a visiting yacht that stays more than 182 days in any 365 consecutive days must follow the Department's separate notes for masters. Yacht management is governed by strict maritime rules, including the Merchant Shipping (Local Vessels) Ordinance, so check the registration papers before you pay.

Season and weather

Winter runs from December to February and summer from June to August, so November sits between the two. Summer is the hot season and is likely the busiest time for charters, so book summer weekends weeks ahead. For a purchase, the sea trial matters more than the season, so arrange one before you sign.

How yachts are bought and chartered here

Listings give length in feet (38 ft, 55 ft) and model numbers, so ask the seller for the length in metres too. Charter prices in the sources do not say whether they are per day, per week or per trip, so ask for the terms in writing. Yachts that cross to mainland ports in the Greater Bay Area must complete entry formalities at designated ports and are inspected at each entry and exit.

What to write in your request

Say whether you want to buy or charter, the yacht type, the length, the number of people, the date and duration, the condition (new or used), the port and your budget. Name the area where you want to view the boat: Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan or Tuen Mun.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the yacht in your own words in a chat, and it is free for buyers. The AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Hong Kong, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to exchange them. You can also send your request link to a broker you already know. Start from the request field on the home page, or read how it works.
