Things To Do

Tired of Skyscrapers? Go for a Boat Trip!

May 11, 2019

If you are in search of unique things to do in Hong Kong to relax your muscles and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, Hong Kong offers plenty of possibilities despite the fact that the city is seen as an urban jungle. But in a way, jungle implies nature and Hong Kong, with its unique location and culture, is a great place to enjoy outdoor activities. Camping, hiking, and cycling are among the most trending activities for Hong Kongers. But there’s one thing you can’t miss out on, especially during summer time: a boat riding trip which will allow you to explore stunning beaches in the beautiful city of Hong Kong.

The “must-do” activity during the summer months

Renting a boat is an activity anyone in Hong Kong must engage in, either locals or a tourist. You can go on a visit to nearby island around Hong Kong, approach different bays near Stanley or Lantau Island, have a romantic cruise in the evening with your loved one or gaze at the city’s skyline, savouring fine cuisine. Regardless of what you choose to do, you will return to the city relaxed, refreshed and as good as new, ready to start a new week, full of energy.

If you’re visiting Hong Kong, don’t stay in your hotel room all day; escape the busy city life by dropping anchor in a beautiful place. Enjoying the sea-side in the middle of skyscrapers is truly an amazing experience. You can charter a boat with your friends and families which will take you round the beautiful corners of the city. You can expect dramatic and fascinating views, especially if you are going to Po Toi, passing by Aberdeen and its fantastic buildings, or even drop-by Tai O Fishing Village, which is one of the most authentic places you can find in Hong Kong.

If you already live in Hong Kong and you’re looking for some fun with your friends and family, going for a boat trip is a great experience as well. While many will go for a junk party, which is one of the most popular summertime activities, some boat rental companies can help you organising unique rides if you want to have a private event. From your wedding (or proposal) to your corporate event, there are various ways to enjoy a boat trip.

Enjoy different types of boats out on the water

There are quite a good number of boats to rent for a day in Hong Kong to make your events and parties uniquely memorable.

Junk boats

Junk boat trips are very popular in Hong Kong and junk boat companies like SEA-E-O Boating are specialised to make your day unique. The boat can be offered for rent only or included with packages, such as inflatable toys, like a trampoline and slide, and a speedboat with banana boat and wakeboard to make your experience a memorable one. This type of boat can accommodate 30 to 50 people and can be rented from HK$6000 to HK$8500.

Junk boats depart from Sai Kung or Central and you can visit any one of the nice beaches, such as Repulse Bay, Deep Water Bay, Clear Water Bay, or Stanley – it’s completely up to you as this kind of trip is fully customisable.

Luxury Cruisers

Cruisers are more designed for those who want to have a luxurious day out on the water. They can accommodate from 12 guests to 55 guests and its pricing ranges from HK$13,500 to HK$18,000. The luxury cruisers are also perfect for corporate meetings and social events in case you’re looking for some different, as reported on Sassy Hong Kong.

They are equipped with a wide variety of luxuries to help you enjoy your trip to the fullest. Whether you want to go with a few people for a more intimate outing or you are having a party with a group of friends, this cruise has you covered.

Sailing boats

A sailing boat or catamaran is made up of two hulls joined together with a frame and this boat can either be motor powered or sailed. This particular model of boat gives you a special experience apart from the normal boat riding trip because all your guests on board can learn more about sailing while enjoying a peaceful time in the middle of the sea.

Many corporate organisations choose to spend a day out on a sailboat, as they can accommodate 36 or 37 people at a price range of HK$8000 to HK$13000.

Yacht charter

The yacht charter is suitable for any occasion, whether it is a business meeting or private event. It is equipped with magnificent interior and exterior designs for your comfort such as outside deck space, dining and relaxing spaces, seats and sofas for guests, bean bag chairs on the upper deck, and even mattresses at the bow. It is suitable to house 35 to 50 guests at a time and starts at HK$16000, with additional charges if you want to have an all-inclusive package.

Are you ready to rock the summer and to have some great memories with your friends and family? Don’t forget that most companies can arrange the food and drinks, which can ease the stress of planning a junk boat.
