Call it the Pearl of the Orient, the City of Skyscrapers, or Asia’s World City. Regardless, Hong Kong holds a wealth of discovery for visitors. That includes waterborne visitors. If you’ve ever cruised Double Haven (above) or other local areas, chances are high you’ve benefitted from the knowledge of Suzy Rayment and Guy Nowell. They’re two of the most well-connected media professionals in the region. A book they published in 2019, Cruising Hong Kong, was so popular that it sold out—convincing them to create a second, newly updated edition.
This coffee table book is not something to leave as decoration. Rather, Cruising Hong Kong is for devouring. Take the advice of the former marine manager of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, for example. “Whilst it is true that this is a visual treat,” he says, “this is much more than a coffee table publication.” Throughout the book, Guy Nowell shares his stunning photography and first-hand sailing advice. Consider Cruising Hong Kong a photographic essay.
You can learn more about the book in the October edition of the Megayacht News newsletter. Sent monthly on an opt-in basis, our newsletter features content we don’t share here on our website. So, for instance, you’ll learn about a new designer-driven sustainability initiative in superyachting. In fact, it’s fair to say this initiative, the Sustainable Yacht Design Taskforce of the Water Revolution Foundation, marks a seismic shift in industry thinking.
You’ll also read about new contracts from Heesen and Nobiskrug, along with how Thunderbolt Marine is teaching local schoolchildren about yacht construction and design.
Sign up below for the newsletter if you don’t already receive it. We’ll make sure you receive the October edition, and each monthly edition thereafter.
