Simpson Marine celebrates ‘Lucky 8’
2020 is proving to be a good year for Simpson Marine in Hong Kong with many clients and owners deciding to start their first or next boating adventure earlier than initially planned and enjoy their “now” time. In many ways this makes sense as a yacht represents a safe haven to retreat to and allows owners to enjoy peace of mind far away from the lockdowns and restrictions that Hong Kong has been facing on land. Similar to their counterparts in the US, Hong Kong yachtsmen and boaters have been very active at sea this year.
Being unable to travel internationally has seen boaters busy exploring their own doorstep and enjoying visiting Asia’s spectacular cruising grounds. That means Simpson Marine has been busy, assisting clients with yacht upgrades, new yacht research, purchases, delievers, refits, touch-ups, servicing and charters.
2020 has been a lucky year for the company with many 8’s being our recorded. These include:
- Total of 80 yachts sold by the end of August 2020 (8th month of the year)
- Including 8 Sanlorenzo Yachts sold in that period
- 800 Days of Charters booked from January to August 2020
Simpson Marine believes there is still plenty more activity to come, with several developments happening in Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and with the rest of SEA progressively opening up. Boating is safe and is as close to freedom as one can possibly get at this time.
Having sold this many yachts, both new and pre-owned in the 5m-45m bracket, Simpson Marine is now looking for new listings particularly in Hong Kong to compensate for the inventory sold.
