Unfortunately, in modern times, yachts have gradually become lost in our country.
In 1660, when Charles II of England inherited the throne, Britain had the world's first finely crafted royal hunting and fishing boat with the meaning of a yacht. The nobles and wealthy people at that time competed to show off by converting sailboats.
In 1807, American Robert Fulton built the world's first steam-powered ship.
In my country, it was not until the 21st century that the economic development situation attracted worldwide attention. With the continuous improvement of living standards, people began to pursue a higher taste and higher quality lifestyle, and yachting was gradually recognized by the public again.
At the beginning, Chinese people regarded cruise ships as a typical imported product and they were widely used in film shooting.
In early movies, the new trend of cruise ships not only attracted the attention of some high-income people, but also brought unprecedented opportunities for many cities to develop new service industries.
Although there are already some yacht clubs operating in China, due to consumption conditions and other reasons, domestic investment institutions know little about this new thing. How to establish and operate a yacht club is still a little-known area.
In short, even today, cruising is still a very niche industry.
But as far as the yacht itself is concerned, its development prospects are huge.
Since the First Industrial Revolution, when the British installed steam engines and propellers on yachts, yachts have been sought after by countless people.
As early as the early 20th century.
Due to the development of fiberglass in yacht building technology and the reduction of production costs, fiberglass yachts began to enter the European market.
After World War II, yacht clubs emerged in the tertiary industry in developed Western countries.
After yacht clubs solved the problem of yacht mooring, the yacht industry has gained opportunities for vigorous development in Europe, the United States and other countries.
Western countries now equip yachts with almost all the most advanced technological products.
Almost all available materials are used to build yachts, which are the world's top-level high-end travel and entertainment tools.
In today's Europe, North America and Australia, yachts have become a tool for people to go on weekend vacations and relax and have fun.
With the continuous development of our country's economy, there will surely be more and more people who are passionate about yachts.
The yachts purchased by Li Chao are all typical British yachts with a strong classical aristocratic atmosphere.
"Fang Youqun, why are you here now? And what are you wearing?" At the invitation of Li Chao, Xiang Yang went to two yachts that were about to sail out to sea to confirm supplies, safety and other matters. As a result, Xiang Yang saw Fang Youqun at the dock.
At this moment, Fang Youqun was wearing a black top hat that he had found from somewhere, and an old suit that should have been worn by his father when he was young. He looked extremely funny, and Xiang Yang almost didn't recognize him at first glance.
"Brother Yang." Fang Youqun looked at Xiang Yang proudly, "Do I look like an aristocrat in this outfit?"
Xiang Yang's mouth twitched, "They say you look like Chaplin, but you're uglier than Chaplin, and you don't have any aristocratic qualities at all."
In fact, the hat that Fang Youqun is wearing is the one his grandfather wore, and the suit was bought by his father when he was young. The size of the suit is also awkward on him. Not to mention being aristocratic, he just looks like Sanmao in the live-action version of Sanmao's Wanderings.
Xiang Yang shook his head helplessly, "Don't embarrass yourself at the dock. Come with me to the boat first. I'll go home soon and change into this suit for me. Don't act so high and mighty in the future. Act like a decent person if you have to."
"Haha." Fang Youqun laughed and quickly agreed.
In fact, when looking in the mirror at home, Fang Youqun felt that he looked very handsome in this outfit, but when he stepped out of the house, he felt awkward.
Xiang Yang was too lazy to pay attention to Fang Youqun anymore. This guy was just like that. The more he paid attention to him, the more excited he became.
Xiang Yang climbed onto the deck of one of the yachts and looked around carefully.
Xiang Yang's first impression of this yacht was not luxury, but simplicity.
The supporting facilities of a yacht are generally customized according to the needs of the yacht owner, especially for this kind of medium-sized yacht. The supporting facilities of a yacht are usually designed and matched according to the functions of the yacht.
The supporting facilities of yachts vary according to their types and functions.
Like the Supreme series yachts, the facilities on each one have already been prepared.
Like the yacht Xiang Yang encountered on the sea before, its style was designed according to the preferences of the yacht owner, and there were countless ornamental fish on it.
As the yachts purchased by Li Chao were for business purposes, Li Chao did not equip them with supporting facilities before conducting market research, so they looked extremely simple, just like a bare house.
However, this yacht has all the necessary hardware facilities.
In the indoor space on the lower deck of the yacht, there are five rows of rooms on two floors, with five rooms in each row, symbolizing the number of the supreme ruler. The three rows of rooms on the lower floor are relatively small, while the two rows on the upper floor are slightly larger, but they have all the facilities that a room should have.
The first level of the deck, which is the middle cabin, has a cinema, billiard room, restaurant, cockpit and kitchen, and a stern door road deck platform.
There is an open-air observation deck and a cockpit on the upper deck of the cabin, as well as a chess and card room.
In order to protect the open-air observation deck from the sun and rain, a soft canopy was set up, but Xiang Yang felt that the canopy was useless. The wind and waves on the sea could not be blocked by a soft canopy. The main function of the soft canopy should be aesthetics.
Xiang Yang doesn't know much about power and technology.
But the people accompanying Xiang Yang told that the cruise ship was equipped with engines, generators, radars, professional instruments, telephone communication equipment, air-conditioning equipment, household appliances, and even a satellite navigation system.
Overall, this yacht is a floating apartment on the sea that combines modern office and family leisure.
The Supreme series yacht is a floating hotel on the sea that integrates modern office and entertainment and leisure.
"This yacht is good. It has overall functional characteristics at sea. It can be used for family leisure life, as well as for gatherings with friends or banquets for friends and clients. It fully reflects the high quality of modern life and people's high taste." Xiang Yang praised.
In fact, Xiang Yang felt that the facilities on these yachts were too simple. They did not have kitchens, guest rooms, karaoke equipment, video game rooms, extended fishing sterns, etc., which were capable of creating a family atmosphere during leisure time.
However, Xiang Yang didn't plan to tell Li Chao these words.
Because according to Li Chao, the price of riding on these ordinary yachts is very affordable.
