Following unsuccessful tentative by brokerage companies to build (and sell) superyacht in China, China Communications and Transportation Association (CCTA) President Qian Yongchang said that "now is the time for China to develop the yachting industry, even though at the beginning, the high-end recreational boats may be accessible only to high earners."
However, industrial insiders said that during the beginning stage, it is unrealistic to expect the Chinese to purchase yachts with the same passion as they pursue cars or houses.
Yacht renting will therefore be a major way that people can enjoy the luxury.
