Sailing the South China Sea: Private Luxury Yacht Day Charter

Charter a private luxury sailing yacht from Guangzhou's marina for a full-day voyage across open South China Sea waters — sundowners, snorkelling off deserted islets, and the thrill of blue-water sailing in one of the world's most storied maritime corridors.

What to expect

A private coach departs Guangzhou for the marina, where a light lunch is served before boarding your luxury sailing yacht. The skipper navigates out into open South China Sea waters, passing coastal headlands and anchoring off a quiet cove for snorkelling and swimming. Afternoon sees the yacht under full sail, cocktails in hand, as the sun drops toward the horizon. The return transfer delivers you back to the city refreshed and exhilarated.
