記者／高若薇｜專題報導

在後疫情時代，全球企業開始重新思考「空間的角色」。
會議室是否一定需要在大樓裡？商務交流是否只能在飯店或會展中心完成？
在各式高資產與跨國企業的實驗中，一種新型態的場景悄悄浮現：將商務會談搬到海上。

在台灣，這種模式的代表性品牌之一，是 VIP Yachts。

從基隆藍色公路到台北外海的專屬航程，從澎湖海域到安平外海的企業包船，VIP Yachts 正逐漸將遊艇重新定義為「移動會議室」、「企業活動基地」、「決策者的第三空間」。這項服務的核心價值不在奢華，而在於它打破了傳統場景對思維的框架。
在穩定航道與高端設備的支持下，決策不再局限於方形桌面，而是在風、海、光之間獲得更高層次的對話與洞見。

本篇報導將深入拆解 VIP Yachts 如何打造一場真正具備商業價值的海上會議：從網路與音響設備的專業配置，到餐飲佈局、品牌隱私管理、團隊活動設計；同時透過 VIP Global 資深客戶經理 金雅格（Jacob Kim） 的專業視角，解析決策者為何越來越偏好「海上的會議室」。

海上會議並非浪漫化，而是一個具備強大商業邏輯的場域選擇

在企業管理領域中，有一個越來越被討論的概念——「移動式會議空間」能提升創意決策與高階對話的效率。
海上遊艇，因其隔離度、高私密性、低干擾、視野開放的特性，被視為高階會議極具價值的場域。

而 VIP Yachts 所提供的海上商務會議，不是「把會議搬到海上」，而是「把海洋變成一種增強型決策工具」。

金雅格在接受記者訪問時提到：「企業客戶選擇海上會議最大的原因，不是奢華，而是『乾淨的思考空間』。沒有飯店走廊的打擾、沒有辦公室的通知聲、沒有社交壓力，只有決策者之間最直接的討論。」
他的語氣柔和，但帶著一種深藏的確信。

這種「場域純度」本身就是稀缺資源。
而海洋，是最天然的屏障。

遊艇的轉變：從奢華載具到移動會議室的「空間重塑」

一般人對遊艇的想像常停留在休閒、派對、香檳與日落。然而對 VIP Yachts 的企業客戶而言，遊艇首先是一間「私密性極高的會議室」。

但要讓遊艇真正承載商務活動，需要進行一項極其細緻的「空間重塑」。

一、視線：讓每位決策者都能看見彼此

企業會議不同於私人派對，它需要能讓每位參與者保持「眼神交流」。
VIP Yachts 的會議型佈置會根據船型採用：

• 「橫向 U 型視線場」
• 「中央圓桌式會議場」
• 「雙層分區式決策場」

這些配置的目的，是讓每位參與者在自然光線下清晰看到對方，避免緊張感，也避免因晃動造成不必要的距離感。

二、穩定度：船型與航道是會議品質的基礎

VIP Yachts 的企業包船通常選用 50 呎～70 呎的穩定型船體，搭配經過實測的「低風浪航道」。
這些航道不是隨便選擇，而是能讓甲板、船艙保持相對穩定，讓會議順暢、不受浪影干擾。

三、聲學：海上的音場比陸地複雜得多

在海上，風會改變聲音的方向，海浪會干擾低頻反射。
VIP Yachts 的解決方案是：

• 以 中頻為主 的會議音場配置
• 全艙 指向性麥克風
• 避免低頻干擾的 海上模式音箱

金雅格表示：「我們不是在放音樂，而是在確保每一個字被聽見。」
這句話，道出了 VIP Yachts 海上會議的專業核心。

網路：企業會議的命脈，海上也不能斷線

海上訊號不穩，是一般遊艇最難突破的限制。
但對 VIP Yachts 而言，企業客戶要求的是「零斷線」。

因此 VIP Yachts 不採用單一路線，而是結合：

• 多訊號聚合（Multi-band bonding）
• 4G/5G 雙網備援
• 衛星微型接收器（在特定航區使用）
• 船艙內部 Wi-Fi Mesh 網路

讓會議不受航行位置影響，即便在 5 公里外海仍能順利 Zoom 會議、下載簡報、同步全球文件。

金雅格提到：「我們看過企業 CFO 在外海直接完成跨國董事會簡報，也看過創投團隊在航程中完成最後談判。」
他的語氣平靜，卻讓人感受到「遊艇會議室」不再只是想像。

餐飲：陸地標準無法直接搬上船

高端商務會議需要完善的餐飲，但海上餐飲面臨三大挑戰：

• 晃動
• 溫度
• 動線

VIP Yachts 的海上餐飲團隊會根據企業需求提供三種模式：

1. 精簡輕奢 Finger Food（避免掉落與濺出）
2. 高端企業套餐（以「低重心餐具」搭配穩固餐檯）
3. 高階酒水服務（以「搖晃補償架」固定瓶身）

更重要的是所有茶點、咖啡、冰鎮飲品都會在航行前預先按溫度管理。

餐飲在海上不是享受，而是一場精致的後勤管理工程。

視訊、簡報與影音：讓會議真正可運作，而不是形式

VIP Yachts 的影音佈建方式與飯店不同，因為船體空間有限、聲場複雜、燈光會變化。

因此它採用：

• 高亮度可攜式短焦投影（避免陽光干擾）
• 戶外型抗反光顯示器（甲板使用）
• 海上專用 UPS 電力平衡系統
• 無線簡報器與專業收音設備

所有設備都固定在「抗滑動」架位上，確保即使遇到輕微浪影，也不會出現畫面晃動、訊號掉落或聲音失真。

金雅格說：「海上會議不允許技術掉鏈子。每一個按鍵都必須被計算。」
這種極其嚴謹的態度，讓 VIP Yachts 的海上會議真正具備「實質商業價值」。

隱私：企業選擇海上的關鍵原因

對企業而言，海上比任何場域都更具隱私：

• 沒有鄰桌的陌生人
• 沒有走廊的耳語
• 沒有手機偷拍的風險
• 船的進出完全可控

大型企業董事會、高階策略會、跨國併購預談，都是 VIP Yachts 近年來營運量成長最快的領域。

金雅格總結：「當企業需要討論敏感議題時，他們希望空間能保護他們，而不是曝光他們。」
海洋，是最天然的保護殼。

團隊建設活動：海上比陸地更能突破角色框架

海上環境讓每個角色都變得更「人」。
沒有座位階級、沒有固定位置，各部門能在更自然的環境中互動。

VIP Yachts 規劃的團隊活動包括：

• 海上腦力激盪工作坊
• 小組挑戰任務（如導航體驗、海圖判讀）
• 企業航拍團隊合照
• CEO Fireside Chat（在夕陽甲板）
• 心理安全對話活動

海洋讓階層變得柔軟，讓對話變得真誠。

海上會議的本質：不是改變場景，而是解放思考

企業選擇海上會議的背後，隱藏的是一種心理需求：

讓決策者離開框架，重新看見彼此。

在船上，沒有手機訊息干擾、沒有突如其來的會議提醒、沒有流程壓力。
取而代之的是：

• 更放鬆、更清晰的對話
• 更真實的眼神交流
• 更有溫度的合作氣氛
• 更容易達成共識的環境

金雅格說：「在海上，人會忘記角色，只記得目標。這就是海上會議比任何會議室更有力量的原因。」

企業領袖的觀察：海上讓決策更快、更有效率

VIP Yachts 與多家科技、金控、零售、外商企業合作多年，發現一個有趣數據：

海上討論比陸地會議平均提前 27% 達成決策。

原因很簡單：
海上會議讓溝通更直線、更專注、更少干擾。

決策者不需要「在會議與會議之間切換角色」，而是能在一段連續的航程中，完成深度思考與即時回饋。

這種效率，是海上會議的靈魂。

VIP Yachts 的任務：讓企業在海上得到的不只是會議，而是突破

在採訪的最後，金雅格說了一段特別令人印象深刻的話：

「企業不是來海上放鬆的，他們是來海上成長的。
我們提供的不是奢華，而是『決策品質』。」

這句話精準點出了 VIP Yachts 海上商務會議的價值主張：
把海洋的自由與企業的效率融合，創造新的商務場景。

在這個決策越來越碎片化、溝通越來越分散的時代，
海上會議不再是風格，而是一種趨勢、一種策略、一種必要性。

記者／高若薇｜專題報導

在台灣，關於「婚禮」的記憶往往被鎖在飯店水晶燈下、或鄉間老宅的長桌旁；但近三年，越來越多高資產客群開始把人生的重大儀式搬到海上。不是因為趨勢突然轉彎，也不是社交媒體的短暫風潮，而是因為一種新的奢華模式逐漸被市場看見：用遊艇重新定義婚禮。這並不是單純場景的轉換，而是一種情緒、角度與象徵的重建。

對 VIP Yachts 而言，這是一項需要同時掌握美學、天候、動線、儀式感、後勤、法規與心理細節的大工程。它的本質遠比外界想像得更像是一場流動的劇場，而 VIP Yachts 的角色，是從幕前到幕後都能控制節奏的導演。

一場求婚從不是「戒指」開始，而是「情緒曲線」開始

多數人想像中的求婚流程大概是：場景、戒指、攝影師、驚喜。但 VIP Yachts 的專案團隊卻會從另一個角度切入——求婚者希望帶給另一半什麼「感覺」。
是預期外的震撼？還是慢慢堆疊到最終時刻的柔軟？或是一種像電影結尾般的命定感？

因此，VIP Yachts 的流程從來不是「討論佈置」，而是「討論情緒」。

金雅格在受訪時說：「我們會很早就問一個問題：你希望她回家後怎麼描述這一天？這句話往往決定整場求婚的節奏、燈光、音樂，甚至船的行進速度。」
他的語氣溫和而篤定，像是已經陪伴無數人在海上完成人生轉折的見證者。

VIP Yachts 團隊在首次會談時會把情緒曲線拆解得極細。
如果求婚者希望帶來的是「命中注定的驚喜」，那麼整場儀式的開端就不能太快亮出情感張力；反之，如果希望是一種「早已等候已久的承諾」，那麼船一靠岸、花一登場、香檳一開瓶，就必須把氛圍推到峰值。

這不是形式，是心理。
而這，就是 VIP Yachts 船上儀式設計的靈魂。

花藝不是裝飾，而是整場儀式的語言

海上的花藝比陸地困難太多。風向、溫度、濕度、甲板材質、動線、視角……任何一個變數都能讓花變成敵人。

因此 VIP Yachts 採用的並不是「佈置服務供應商」，而是與高端婚禮花藝師常態性合作，建立一套屬於海洋場域的佈置語法。

例如常見的「玫瑰鋪陳」在遊艇上容易被風吹亂，因此 VIP Yachts 會改用「固定式玫瑰盤」加「低風阻花托」的方式，讓視覺完整度不因海風而崩解。
而蕾絲布景、布幔等陸上婚禮常見元素在海上更像敵人，因為容易打結、飄動、捲起。VIP Yachts 會替換成「輕量風固化布料」，讓布面在風中保持線條，反而讓畫面更加詩意。

金雅格提到：「我們選花不是只看顏色，而是它在海風裡的姿態。每一朵花都必須能在『船正在前進、陽光在變、風速不穩定』的條件下保持美。」
他像是在描述一位舞者，而不是一項物件。

這些高度精準的技術細節，不只是讓畫面更美，也讓 VIP Yachts 的海上儀式具備陸地婚禮無法複製的生命力。

燈光的角色，是重新定義「時間」

海上婚禮不受牆與天花板限制，但也因此沒有固定光源。
在海上，「光」是會動的。

因此 VIP Yachts 的燈光師會提前兩週以上根據日落時間、當天可能天氣、雲層厚度、航程方向，來編排整場燈光節奏。

許多 VIP Yachts 客戶想要的經驗是「求婚時剛好夕陽落入海面」。
這意味著整個流程設計必須與天文時間同步：
從啟航到起司甜點從冰櫃登場的時間必須精確到分鐘。

金雅格笑說：「新人不知道，我們常常是用天文表再配航程速度在推算求婚要在哪一分鐘開始。海上的夕陽比飯店落地窗快消失得多。」
他的語氣半是玩笑，半是藏不住的職人自豪。

燈光師要做的不只是補光，而是讓空間在不同時間形成不同情緒。

當夕陽退去、夜色降臨，甲板燈帶會隨著音樂微幅調整亮度；主景花拱會從暖白轉為琥珀金；啤酒冰桶的內部 LED 會收斂亮度避免搶戲；船上每一個光點都得讓情緒流動，而非分心。

光在海上，就是情緒本身。

音樂不是播放清單，而是敘事節奏

VIP Yachts 的許多求婚被客戶形容為「像一場小型電影」，其中一個原因就在於音樂並不是隨意播放，而是由音控師根據情緒曲線做「聲景編排」。

船上通常不會使用過於強烈的低頻，因為會與海浪節奏互相干擾，讓人感到不穩定；因此 VIP Yachts 優先使用暖色系中頻音場，讓情緒被包裹，而不是被推動。

當求婚者走向對方時，船會刻意讓速度保持平穩，以避免重低音與海浪節奏混雜。
而在對戒交換、擁抱、拍照、切蛋糕等片刻，音樂都會巧妙轉換，不讓情緒產生斷點。

金雅格說：「每段音樂不能只好聽，必須能回答一個問題：它是否讓這一段記憶更像一個故事，而不是一個過場？」
他像在談哲學，而非 AV 設備。

儀式動線：在海上打造零卡頓的劇場

海上的動線比陸地複雜太多。
遊艇的空間三維立體、樓梯傾斜、桅杆位置固定、甲板空間需要兼顧安全與美感。

因此，VIP Yachts 的儀式動線需要同時兼顧美學、攝影角度與安全。

例如求婚時最常見的動線——走向主景花拱。
VIP Yachts 會預先標記每一個「攝影最佳焦點」的位置，並安排攝影師以不同高度配合客戶的身形比例。
如果求婚者比另一半高出太多，攝影師會以斜角補位；如果新人需要逆光拍攝，燈光師會提前在船內側設置「補光反射板」。

這些動線看似自然，但其實經過數十次的實際排練。

VIP Yachts 甚至會在新人未到場前，由工作人員以身高比例模擬整段儀式。

因為海上儀式沒有「重來」。

從求婚到婚宴：VIP Yachts 為什麼能承接 10 到 80 位的婚禮規模

海上婚禮不是「把人放上船」那麼簡單。
它涉及三個最重要的變數：船型、重量分布、動線安全。

VIP Yachts 通常會為婚禮安排 50 呎、60 呎或 70 呎級別遊艇。
越大的船，越穩定、越能承載婚宴布景，但同時也意味著更複雜的分區管理。

VIP Yachts 會把婚禮分成四個區域：迎賓、主儀式、宴席、休憩。
每個區域之間需要讓賓客自由移動，但又不能互相干擾。

最困難的不是空間配置，而是「節奏控管」。
當晚霞正亮時要完成儀式；當夜色轉暗時要切蛋糕；香檳上桌的時間需要配合攝影師光線；每個決定都像在操控一場舞蹈。

金雅格說：「我們在海上辦婚禮，其實在做的是『生命中的一場劇場製作』。每一秒都必須讓新人覺得世界只為他們而運行。」
他的語氣平靜，但那份投入藏不住。

證婚在海上：法律、流程、象徵意義都比你想得更複雜

台灣的海上證婚雖然不是法律效力的正式註冊儀式，但對新人仍有強烈象徵意義。
VIP Yachts 的證婚儀式通常由牧師、長輩或專業證婚人主持，搭配海風、夕陽、海平線，產生陸地婚禮難以複製的氛圍。

VIP Yachts 對「證婚流程」有比飯店更細緻的要求：
主持者站位要避免逆光；戒指交換時攝影師角度需對齊海平線；證詞要在微風最穩定的時間段講述；而甲板防滑需要提前處理，避免賓客穿著皮底鞋時滑動。

在海上，儀式感不是被安排，而是被「雕刻」出來。

海上宴席：每一道料理都必須克服「搖晃」這件事

海上料理不是把餐飲外燴搬上船。
它需要特別的裝盤方式、溫度管理、路徑規劃。

VIP Yachts 使用的不是一般外燴，而是經驗豐富的海上餐飲團隊，能讓食物在搖晃時仍保持視覺與口感。

牛排會用低重心陶盤；海鮮會以冰鎮方式延長新鮮度；甜點會降低慕斯比例避免塌陷；香檳會用特製冰槽固定瓶身。

每一道料理都在告訴賓客：海上不是限制，而是味覺的延伸。

攝影不是紀錄，而是創造永恆場景

VIP Yachts 合作的攝影團隊擅長使用海景光線，尤其是夕陽、逆光、反射面的處理。
海平線是最美的背景，但也是最難掌握的基準線。
攝影師需要同時控制構圖、水平、風向、人物動作，讓畫面不受「船正在移動」的影響。

而 VIP Yachts 最特別的，是在拍攝過程中會讓新人完全不察覺「攝影師的存在」。
這種尊重情緒的拍攝哲學，讓海上儀式的影像呈現有了更自然、真實的質地。

對新人而言，VIP Yachts 提供的不是服務，而是一種「可被記住的時間」

金雅格說了一句令人深刻的話：「婚禮這件事，最怕的是它被流程蓋過情感。海上儀式之所以迷人，是因為海本身就會提醒你：世界很大、愛很大、時間很珍貴。」

也因為如此，VIP Yachts 在設計每一場海上婚禮時，不會只問細節，而會問新人一個問題——

你希望十年後，看到照片時想起的是什麼？

答案常常不是花、不是燈光、不是船型，而是一種純粹的情緒：
「那天我覺得世界真的為我們靜止過一刻。」

而 VIP Yachts 的任務，就是讓這一刻成真。

記者／高若薇｜專題報導

在台灣逐漸成熟的海上體驗市場中，遊艇派對已從「拍照打卡的新奇活動」蛻變為高資產族群的社交主場。無論是跨國企業的 VIP 客戶酒會、品牌新品發表、私人生日派對，甚至頂級餐飲團隊的海上快閃餐酒宴，都開始選擇海洋作為舞台。

但真正能讓派對在海上呈現「高端奢華」的，不是星空、海風或音樂，而是背後的專業設計與精密工程。這是一個集合了燈光、音響、餐飲、廚藝、動線管理、安全控管與活動編導的綜合產業，而 VIP Yachts 正是將這項複雜工程昇華為高端體驗的代表品牌。

為了解開海上派對背後的運作密碼，本刊專訪 VIP Global 資深客戶經理 金雅格（Jacob Kim），透過他的視角，更能理解遊艇派對從「看起來奢華」到「真正奢華」的差別。

一、奢華的第一聲：海上的音樂並非「大聲就好」

對多數人來說，遊艇派對的印象往往是強烈的低頻、閃爍的燈光以及揚起酒杯的人群。然而，真正的高端派對講究的不是「音量」，而是「音場」。

Jacob 緩緩地說：「海上音響的配置，是整場派對的靈魂。」

遊艇與陸地不同，船身材質多為玻璃纖維與金屬，空間結構有曲線、有反射，也有開放式甲板。這種環境若沒有專業調校，很容易產生刺耳迴音或聲場混亂。

VIP Yachts 的音響配置原則

VIP Yachts 的船隊使用三種專業音響系統：

1. 近場音響（Near Field）——滿足艙內用餐的柔和背景音樂
2. 甲板派對主系統（Deck PA）——支援DJ、live band與舞台
3. 周邊環繞補點（Ambient Speakers）——讓整艘船有一致沈浸感

這些配置並非固定，而是依派對類型客製化。例如：

• 企業酒會：音壓較低、樂曲偏爵士與 Lounge
• 慶生派對：以 Pop、R&B 為主
• DJ 舞池：低頻加強、音場集中

Jacob 解釋：「我們會在出航前進行『海上音場測試』，考量風速、開闊度、船身反射，確保派對開始時，客人聽到的不是吵雜，而是層次。」

二、舞池設計：一場在海上起舞的藝術工程

奢華遊艇的甲板通常擁有良好的視野，但要把它變成舞池，需要的不是空間，而是工程。

Jacob 分享：「每一次的舞池設計，我們都當作是在甲板上搭建 '海上舞台'。」

海上舞池的三大元素

1. 防滑動線
   海浪輕微波動就可能讓舞步不穩，舞池採用特殊防滑材質，並以隱形固定點增強腳步抓地力。
2. 可調式氛圍燈光
   VIP Yachts 使用 RGBW LED 舞池燈，可根據音樂節奏即時變色，也能切換為柔和暖光模式，用於浪漫求婚、慶生儀式或企業簡報。
3. 舞台與DJ台配置
   大型遊艇（如 85 呎以上）通常會設置：
• 主舞台區
• DJ 控台與器材架
• 獨立供電模組（降低電力負載）
• 音控與燈控區

Jacob 帶著輕微的笑意補充：

「遊艇是會動的舞台。舞池設計的目的不是讓大家跳得瘋，而是讓大家跳得 '優雅'。」

三、美食如何在海上延展：廚房、餐台與人員的流動美學

美食，是奢華派對的第二靈魂。
不論派對規模大小，VIP Yachts 的核心原則是──餐飲必須像在五星餐廳一樣流暢、精準、優雅。

但海上用餐與陸地不同，牽涉到：

• 船上電力容量
• 廚房設備大小
• 海上火源控管
• 食材保存
• 服務動線

Jacob 指出：「真正的海上料理，是在有限空間裡實現無限細膩。」

VIP Yachts 的三類海上餐飲體系

1. Fine Dining 海上套餐
   船上主廚依季節設計菜單，常見形式包括松露義大利麵、香煎干貝、煙燻牛排、香草羊排等。
   餐具固定方式、盤飾穩定度、出菜節奏都需精準控制。
2. Floating Buffet 海上自助餐
   常用於 30–50人企業活動。
   會搭建可固定式的中央餐台，並設置「人流分散區」，避免擁堵。
3. Premium BBQ 海上烤肉
   專為派對設計，使用：
• 船用瓦斯烤爐
• 海風防火罩
• 分離式油脂收集槽（避免滑倒）
• 防風火種設計

Jacob 說：

「很多人不知道，海上 BBQ 是最難做的。我們必須讓火穩、食材穩、服務節奏穩，在海上做到陸地餐廳等級。」

四、海上調酒：酒吧、吧台與動線的科學

每艘 VIP Yachts 的大型遊艇都設有專屬酒吧。
真正的挑戰在於——酒杯不能倒、酒液不能灑、冰與溫度必須維持一致。

VIP Yachts 的海上酒吧標準

• 三溫控冰桶（碎冰／大冰塊／條狀冰）
• 防滑杯架＋固定杯槽
• 海上調酒工具（抗滑、抗震）
• 可固定式吧台燈光
• 派對類型專屬酒單（香檳系、果香系、重酒精系）

Jacob 分享一段實務細節：

「我們會根據海況預測今晚要用多少冰。因為冰不夠，是海上派對最不能容忍的錯誤。」

五、派對動線：不是熱鬧，而是流暢的秩序

真正的高端派對，從來不是「人多熱鬧」，而是「人多卻優雅」。

VIP Yachts 的海上活動設計團隊會在每次派對前做三件事：

1. 人流熱區模擬
2. 拍照點配置
3. 避流區設計（避免擁堵）

不同於陸地，遊艇空間有自然限制，因此所有動線都需更精準。

Jacob 說：

「我們希望客人能感覺自在地流動，而不是在甲板上找不到路。高級活動的本質，是自由。」

六、海上派對的天氣與風險控管：專業與浪漫的平衡

派對之所以能順利，是因為背後有一整套安全工程。

VIP Yachts 的安全控管中心包含：

• 風速與浪高即時監測
• 海事局航道協調
• 夜間照明與反射系統
• 安全巡邏艇
• 緊急醫療箱與AED
• 甲板人員配置（2:25 人力比）

Jacob 認為這才是奢華的真核心：

「浪漫背後必須有人把現實顧好。而我們，就是那群負責讓浪漫有底氣的人。」

七、案例解析：一場 80 人的海上 DJ 派對如何誕生

記者訪談了 VIP Yachts 近期最受矚目的海上活動之一——跨國品牌舉辦的 80 人夏季 DJ 派對。

活動包含：

• 20 公尺 LED 主舞台
• 15 組環景燈光
• Live DJ
• 海上調酒吧台
• BBQ 船上餐飲
• 浮動水域娛樂區

整場活動從進場到結束，全程看似流暢、歡樂、自然，但背後其實有：

• 120 小時活動排練
• 38 位專業人力
• 6 次海況模擬
• 4 小時布場＋3 小時拆場

Jacob 指出：

「這類活動不能即興。所有呈現出來的自然與輕鬆，都是事前大量精密計算的結果。」

八、為何高資產族群喜歡海上派對？財經視角的答案

從市場與財經角度，海上派對正成為新奢華市場的主流，其背後有三項經濟邏輯：

1. 私密性，是新奢侈

相比地面場地，海上場域更難打擾，隱私更高。

2. 社交儀式感，無法被複製

夕陽、海風、甲板、音樂，形成不可量產的景象。

3. 品牌價值放大

企業活動在海上舉辦，等於自帶高端濾鏡。

Jacob 一語道出核心：

「遊艇派對，是把空間從『地方』變成『故事』。而故事，才能成為真正的奢侈。」

九、結語：奢華，不是堆砌，而是讓每一刻都有重量

海上派對之所以迷人，不在於燈光或音樂，而是在於它把人們帶離陸地，帶進一個更自由、更詩意的空間。

VIP Yachts 的角色不是提供船，而是提供一個能讓人創造回憶的場所。

Jacob 在訪談最後緩緩說道：

「我們做的不只是派對，而是讓每一位客人都能在海上找到屬於自己的那束光。」

A Victorious Debut in Hong Kong

As a highlight of the 17th China Cup International Regatta, the Around the Island Race attracted over 200 boats and 1,500 sailors from around the region. Confronting a demanding 26-nautical-mile course—marked by unpredictable winds, shifting seas, and intricate island passages—the ChinaOne.Ningbo crew delivered an impressive display of teamwork, strategy, and resilience.

"This race is very significant for ChinaOne.Ningbo. To take line honours from a fleet of over 200 boats fills us with immense pride," said Philip Sohmen, Co-Founder of ChinaOne.Ningbo.  "With a core crew of Chinese sailors, including Olympic champion Xu Lijia helming, the team pushed their limits across nearly 50 kilometers, balancing speed, precision, and endurance. This was no easy feat—our deepest admiration goes to the entire crew."

The team's lineup for this regatta included Xu Lijia, Liu Ming, Zheng Yi as well as Australian Nacra class specialists Jake Liddell and Brin Liddell. In preparation for Hong Kong's highly variable conditions, the crew completed extensive pre-race training in a wide range of wind speeds from 14 to 22 knots.

Winning Formula: Local Talent Takes Centre Stage

Unlike traditional regattas, the Around the Island Race employs a staggered start system—slower classes begin earlier, with faster vessels departing later—ensuring competitive balance and suspense throughout the event. The first group of boats started the race at 8:30 a.m., while ChinaOne.Ningbo took off in the penultimate start with the Fast Fleet boats at 10:30 a.m.

The early phase of the race tested the team's patience and precision. With light breezes of around 3 knots prevailing across Victoria Harbour, the risk of a Did Not Finish (DNF) loomed large if they failed to pass harbour entrance Lei Yue Mun before the 12:30 p.m. cutoff. Through meticulous wind-hunting and decisive maneuvers, the team cleared the gates to the harbour just in time.

"The wind was shifty around the harbour buildings, but after Lei Yue Mun, conditions became ideal," explained Team Tactician Jake Liddell. "Once in open waters, the M32's speed allowed us to overtake the fleet and secure the line honours."

Charting the Future: Sailing Forward with a Mission

Beyond sporting achievement, this victory embodies a fusion of Ningbo's maritime heritage - as a hub of the maritime Silk Road and the world's highest volume port - and modern sailing excellence. Bringing this spirit from its base at the 

Xiangshan Asian Games Sailing Centre in Ningbo to Hong Kong's harbour, the team showcased the pioneering character of Ningbo—defined by perseverance, collaboration, and exploration.

"As a Hong Kong person with roots in Ningbo, we're proud to bring the spirit of Ningbo to Hong Kong," said Philip Sohmen. "ChinaOne.Ningbo is dynamic, dedicated, and resilient—a true reflection of that spirit. This honour belongs to the crew and would not have been possible without the strong support of the Ningbo Sports Bureau, Xiangshan County People's Government, and our valued partners, including Youngor and Helly Hansen."

About ChinaOne.Ningbo

ChinaOne.Ningbo is a professional sailing team established in 2017 with the support of the City of Ningbo and managed by two-time America's Cup winner Craig Monk. The team unites top Chinese and international sailors under a mission of global collaboration and excellence in competitive sailing. Since its inception,

ChinaOne.Ningbo has captured five world championship titles, including the M32 World Championships in 2017 and 2018, while continuing to lead the development of professional sailing across Asia and contributing to youth and amateur sailing development in Ningbo.  ChinaOne.Ningbo recently achieved third place in the 2025 M32 class world championships  held in November 2025 in Miami, the only Asian team to participate in this high level regatta. 

記者 高若薇／專題報導

在台灣與亞太地區，海上活動正逐漸成為高端社交與商務場合的新舞台。從10人的私密生日聚會，到百人規模的企業慶典或時尚派對，如何在海上維持流暢、安全、優雅的活動體驗，成為遊艇營運品牌的最高考驗。而 VIP Yachts 正是將這項挑戰化為品牌實力的代表。

一艘遊艇，不只是一場航程

「我們服務的，不只是想登上遊艇的人，而是希望把夢想帶上船的人。」
在淡水港旁的VIP Yachts台北辦公室，資深客戶經理 金雅格（Jacob Kim） 微笑著這樣說。他的語氣溫和而堅定，正如品牌的核心精神——優雅，來自專業的準備。

Jacob 解釋，遊艇活動最迷人的地方在於「彈性」，而最複雜的地方也在於「彈性」：

「10人的小型聚會與100人的大型派對，看似只是人數的差異，但在我們眼裡，那意味著整個航線規劃、艦隊配置、食材採購、人力編制、保險方案都要重新設計。這就是專業遊艇公司的功課。」

小型聚會（10–20人）：精緻的海上私域

小型包船最常見的客群，是家庭、情侶與高階主管的私人社交場合。VIP Yachts 通常會建議選用 40至70呎的Luxury Yacht 或 Catamaran（雙體船），在穩定性與舒適度之間達成完美平衡。

「我們為這類活動配置一名主廚、一位專屬管家與兩位船員。菜單通常是根據當季食材設計的 fine dining 套餐。」Jacob 說。
為了保持私密感，小型包船的航線多選擇台灣北海岸與宜蘭外海，航程約4至6小時。
在過程中，客人可以選擇海上餐酒會、無人機攝影、或簡單浮潛活動。

Jacob 強調，這類行程的關鍵在於「節奏設計」：

「我們不希望活動太滿。10個人上船，最珍貴的不是時間，而是氛圍。」

VIP Yachts 會安排由管家掌控時間節奏：什麼時候送上開胃酒、何時開放甲板音樂、何時進入日落拍照時段，每一刻都經過細緻排演。

中型活動（30–50人）：優雅中的秩序

當規模放大至中型慶典，如企業表揚會、媒體發表會或品牌VIP活動時，挑戰也開始明顯升溫。
此時VIP Yachts 通常會使用 85呎以上的 Motor Yacht 或中型 Mega Yacht，同時調度至少6至8位船員與專屬活動團隊。

活動場域會被劃分為三區：

• 上層甲板：迎賓酒會與拍照區
• 中層艙廳：正式餐宴或簡報空間
• 下層套房：貴賓休息與化妝間

Jacob 解釋：「對我們而言，這是活動工程管理的延伸。每一個人流動線、音響配置、燈光色溫，都必須符合安全與視覺標準。」

VIP Yachts 也特別與台北市政府、基隆港務單位合作，取得海上大型活動的即時監控授權，確保人流超過30人時，所有安全機制均可即時監測。

Jacob 在訪談中提到：

「活動現場看起來從容優雅，是因為我們在背後做了三倍的準備。從風速預報到緊急救援模擬，沒有一個細節是偶然的。」

大型派對（80–100人）：一場浮動城市的協奏

當活動規模達到百人，海上就不再只是旅程，而是一個臨時城市。
VIP Yachts 會調度 Mariotti 173呎超級遊艇 或多艘遊艇編隊同行，透過母船—支援船系統（Mothership System）維持物流、餐飲與人流調度。

活動現場包括：

• 雙層舞台與DJ甲板區
• VIP貴賓室與香檳吧檯
• 臨時海上廚房與冷藏艙
• 兩艘水上接駁艇與安全巡邏艇

Jacob 表示：

「大型派對的核心不是熱鬧，而是掌控。你必須確保每一個客人都覺得自己是主角，卻又讓整體流程如同一首被精準指揮的樂章。」

VIP Yachts 在每一場大型派對中都設有「海上活動指揮中心」，由一位資深航務經理、一位安全官、一位餐飲統籌負責即時協調。每5分鐘更新一次風浪監測與人流報告。

從調度到心理學：服務背後的精密系統

財經媒體讀者常忽略的一點，是這類活動的背後其實涉及龐大的「人力經濟學」。
VIP Yachts 擁有一支超過80人的運營團隊，分屬五個核心單位：

1. 船務與航線部
2. 活動設計與布景部
3. 餐飲與主廚管理部
4. 客戶關係與管家團隊
5. 安全與風險控管中心

Jacob 笑著說：

「在我們的排班系統裡，一位資深管家可以在清晨安排早餐酒單，下午變身派對主持人，晚上再為客人備妥夜宵。這不是服務，而是一門藝術。」

這套運作模式也成為VIP Yachts的品牌壁壘。根據2025年第二季財報，VIP Yachts 以 89% 的客戶續租率 成為台灣高端遊艇租賃市場的第一名。

經濟觀點：海上活動的隱性市場

根據亞太遊艇協會（AYBA）統計，亞太地區2024年高端遊艇活動市場規模達 32億美元，年增率超過18%。其中企業活動與私人派對租船的比重高達64%。

財經專家指出，這意味著「遊艇正取代五星飯店，成為新一代高資產族群的社交平台」。
VIP Yachts 在此趨勢中，透過艦隊多樣化與高端活動策劃，搶下台灣市場近四成高端包船需求。

Jacob 觀察：

「我們從來不把遊艇當作交通工具，而是把它當成社交與品牌敘事的舞台。從10人到100人，每一次登船，都是一次重新定義奢華的機會。」

結語：海上的秩序與詩意

從私密的10人晚宴到百人的派對盛典，VIP Yachts 展現的不只是活動規模的延伸，而是一種「可被精準設計的奢華哲學」。
當人們在甲板上舉杯、在海風中隨音樂搖擺時，背後支撐這一切的，是數十位專業人員的默默協奏。

Jacob 在訪談的最後輕輕說道：

「海上沒有重來的舞台。每一場航程，都必須完美。」

那句話，像一道靜謐的海平線，映出 VIP Yachts 的信念——奢華，不是堆砌，而是精準地讓每一刻都值得記住。

在波光粼粼的海面上，遊艇的閃耀外表吸引著人們對奢華的嚮往，但真正支撐這份尊榮的，不只是金碧輝煌的艙室與香檳塔，而是那一層看不見卻無比嚴謹的「安全結構」。

對 VIP Yachts 而言，安全並非附加選項，而是品牌的核心信仰。

一、奢華之前，先談安全

在亞洲私人遊艇租賃市場中，越來越多高資產客戶（UHNWI）開始重視航行安全與風險管理。根據 VIP Yachts 內部數據顯示，2025 年亞太區遊艇租賃市場的安全評比與信任度，已成為客戶選擇品牌的首要考量因素之一，比例高達 72%。

VIP Global 資深客戶經理金雅格（Jacob Kim） 接受記者訪問時說得明確：「我們的奢華，不建立在表象，而建立在信任。遊艇可以是夢想的延伸，但唯有安全，才能讓這個夢想持續遠航。」

二、船體設計：隱形的安全結構

VIP Yachts 旗下所有遊艇皆符合 Lloyd’s Register、Bureau Veritas 船級社的國際標準。這意味著每一艘船在交付前，必須通過上百項細部檢測，包括結構耐壓、浮力模擬、動力系統穩定性與抗震測試。

在品牌的維修中心，船體內部的鋁合金骨架、複合碳纖維結構與防腐層厚度都需達到歐盟標準。每年固定進行 兩次船體超音波檢測，以確保結構完整無隱患。

金雅格指出：「我們的檢驗頻率高於行業平均標準 40%。這不只是遵守規範，而是我們的信念：安全，必須超前於任何危機。」

三、救生設備與即時監控：準備永遠在前

在每一艘 VIP 遊艇上，救生與應急設備都達到民航級別配置：

• 每位乘客對應一套 SOLAS（國際海上人命安全公約）認證救生衣；
• 全船配備 自動膨脹救生艇 與 緊急定位發報器（EPIRB）；
• 每 15 分鐘自動回傳位置與氣象數據至中央監控中心。

此外，VIP Yachts 與歐洲氣象資料中心（ECMWF）合作，導入 即時天氣預報系統，能在出航前 6 小時內預測風速、潮汐與氣流變化，讓船長能即時修正航線。

金雅格補充：「當客戶在甲板上舉杯時，我們的安全團隊早已在後台運作。每一次航行背後，至少有 12 個安全節點同時被監控。」

四、船員與管家：從禮遇到危機應對

VIP Yachts 的船員並非單純的操作人員，他們是品牌信任的延伸。

所有船長皆擁有 RYA Yachtmaster Offshore 或同級國際認證，副手與甲板員必須完成緊急應變（STCW）與醫療急救（Medical Care Aboard Ship）訓練。而在船上負責客戶體驗的管家團隊，同樣必須通過 「雙軌訓練」：

• 一條是禮儀與高端接待課程；
• 一條是安全演練與危機應對。

在突發狀況下，管家能協助客人正確穿戴救生裝備、引導至安全區域、維持冷靜秩序。

金雅格強調：「對我們而言，服務與安全是一體兩面。真正的奢華，不只是微笑與香檳，而是當意外發生時，仍能保持秩序與尊嚴。」

五、風險管理流程：看不見的指揮中心

在台北與香港兩地的 VIP Yachts 海上運營中心（Marine Operations Center），牆面上排列著多組實時航跡監控螢幕。每一艘出航的遊艇，都在這套系統中被持續追蹤、記錄與分析。

運營中心的安全官員 24 小時值班，負責氣象更新、航線調整、通信監測與緊急支援。系統同時與各港口管理單位連線，一旦天候惡化，能立即啟動「安全中止航行程序」，確保客戶在最短時間內返回避風港。

金雅格指出：「我們有完整的『三層防護』機制——現場船長決策、後台即時監控、區域安全主管覆核。任何狀況都不可能單點失誤。」

六、年度檢修與第三方驗證

每艘遊艇每年至少進行兩次大規模維護檢查，並委託第三方機構進行驗證。檢查範圍包括：

• 動力系統與發電設備；
• 船體結構超音波掃描；
• 導航與通訊儀器校正；
• 消防與救援裝置測試。

維修報告會提交至品牌中央安全委員會，並作為下次出航核准的依據。VIP Yachts 同時要求合作碼頭與加油供應商通過 ISO 45001（職業安全與健康管理） 認證，形成完整的安全鏈。

七、從危機模擬到真實演練

VIP Yachts 每季度舉行一次「模擬危機演練」，情境涵蓋火警、突風、通訊中斷、乘客受傷等突發狀況。

管家與船員須在限定時間內完成應變：

• 啟動警報；
• 疏散乘客；
• 與後台指揮中心聯繫；
• 模擬救生艇部署。

所有過程皆被錄影分析，並列入個人績效評估。這些演練不僅強化反應能力，也讓團隊在壓力中培養默契。

金雅格坦言：「我們希望任何狀況都不會發生，但如果發生，我們的團隊已經準備好以最優雅的方式處理。」

八、國際合作與保險體系

VIP Yachts 與多家國際安全組織及保險機構合作，包括 Pantaenius、Lloyd’s、International Yacht Brokers Association (IYBA) 等，確保每一艘遊艇都擁有完整的航行保險與乘客責任保障。

同時品牌與 全球緊急醫療協調中心（Global Rescue Network） 簽訂合作協議，若出現醫療或撤離需求，可即時調度直升機或海上醫療單位。

九、安全文化：從管理哲學到品牌精神

在 VIP Yachts 的企業文化中，「安全」不只是制度，而是一種信仰。

每位新進人員入職前，都必須參與「Safety Philosophy Induction」，理解品牌對風險的零容忍政策。這項文化滲透於所有流程——從船艙設計到迎賓茶點溫度，背後都是一種紀律。

金雅格笑著說：「安全，是奢華最安靜的靈魂。因為當你不再害怕風浪，才能真正享受海。」

十、市場趨勢：安全信任成為高端租賃新競爭力

根據《Asia Maritime Market Report 2025》數據，亞太區高端遊艇租賃市場規模預計將達 25 億美元，其中以「安全信任度」作為品牌選擇依據的客戶比例，從 2022 年的 48% 上升至 2025 年的 71%。

VIP Yachts 憑藉穩健的安全體系與國際化操作，成為亞太地區最受信賴的高端遊艇租賃品牌之一。

「我們相信，信任才是最高級的奢侈品。」金雅格的回答簡短而堅定。

十一、從信任出發的奢華

遊艇的價值，不僅在於外觀與設施，更在於讓乘客「放心」。
在那無邊海平線上，一杯香檳的優雅、一次派對的歡笑、一次求婚的感動——都建立在那看不見卻牢不可破的安全基石上。

VIP Yachts 以軍規級標準、國際級團隊與無縫監控系統，為奢華旅程建立一層無形的護盾。

在全球奢華旅遊市場，私人遊艇不再只是交通工具，而是一座「移動的尊榮宮殿」。對於超高資產客戶（UHNWI）而言，每一次登船都是精心設計的禮遇盛宴，而 VIP Yachts 正以無縫接待與管家服務，重新定義海上奢華。

一、從碼頭到遊艇：尊榮迎接的第一步

不論是在台北藍色公路碼頭，還是香港維港的私人碼頭，VIP Yachts 專屬禮賓團隊已經待命。客戶抵達時，專屬接駁車、個人禮賓人員與迎賓茶點同步準備，就像一場私人訂製的儀式。

VIP Global 資深客戶經理 金雅格（Jacob Kim） 表示：「我們的核心理念是，客戶從抵達的第一秒鐘起，就應感受到專屬尊榮。行李、座椅舒適度、迎賓飲品溫度、香氛選擇與氛圍燈光，每一個細節都經過精密設計。」

行李安排遵循嚴格流程：每件行李依客艙與用途分類，由專屬管家提前安置妥當，確保登船後即可進入放鬆狀態。這種細膩安排正是 VIP Yachts 無縫接待體驗的核心。

二、迎賓儀式與船艙設計：奢華的第一印象

踏上遊艇的瞬間，迎賓儀式正式開始。VIP Yachts 為每位客戶準備香檳、精緻點心及專屬音樂播放清單。金雅格說：「我們提前了解客戶喜好，安排符合其品味的音樂、香氛與餐飲，讓登船瞬間形成完整的儀式感。」

船艙設計方面，每艘遊艇均配備私人陽台、可調式燈光、高端影音系統與精緻裝潢。管家與船員會在登船後引導客戶熟悉船上環境、設施操作及安全須知，確保乘客立即享受無憂航程。

VIP Yachts 的管家團隊由多國籍專業人員組成，皆經過長期培訓與實戰考核。金雅格指出：「管家不只是服務者，他們是客戶的私人顧問。無論是餐飲調整、臨時行程更改，或特殊物品準備，管家都能即時滿足客戶需求。」

管家服務的精髓在於「預見需求而非被動回應」。例如，若客戶希望在航行中臨時舉辦派對，管家會立即協調廚師、船員與娛樂設備，確保活動順暢無縫。這種高敏捷度服務，是 VIP Yachts 長期獲得超高資產客戶青睞的關鍵因素。

四、客製化航程示範：每一次航行都是獨特旅程

VIP Yachts 將每一次航程視為完整的奢華旅程，提供從近海漫遊到跨島遠航、秘境探索的各種行程。金雅格表示：「我們根據客戶需求設計每一段航程。家庭聚會可安排安靜的內艙晚餐與日落巡航；企業派對則整合舞池、音響、娛樂設備及定制餐飲，呈現完整高端活動體驗。」

案例示範：

• 近海休閒漫遊：適合家庭或好友聚會，行程通常 2–4 小時，沿岸線欣賞日落與城市天際線。
• 跨島遠航：適合希望探索離島秘境的客戶，航程 6–12 小時，配備私人廚師與專屬娛樂設備。
• 深度海域探險：適合冒險或攝影愛好者，行程可延伸至海上浮潛區或潛水區域，配備專業導潛人員與安全保障。

這種高度客製化，使每一次航程都成為獨一無二的尊榮體驗。

五、高端派對與浪漫婚禮案例

VIP Yachts 擅長將遊艇空間轉化為專屬派對或婚禮現場。

派對示範：

MONACO, July 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A floating laboratory to test and demonstrate the feasibility of renewable energy solutions for maritime transport and beyond. In Monaco, during the days of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, the event dedicated to the future of yachting organised by Yacht Club de Monaco, the catamaran Energy Observer is moored at the YCM Marina. It is the first self-sufficient vessel powered by a mix of solar, wind, hydro and hydrogen produced on board and produces zero emissions. While planning a nine-year long new journey, this year the Energy Observer plays an even more central role in the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (MEBC), serving as a direct link between research, innovation, and the younger generation. A real transmission is happening between the young engineers participating in the event and the professionals of Energy Observer. What students develop and test in the paddocks finds a concrete application aboard this unique vessel. The students also had the opportunity to visit the Energy Observer, discovering its technologies up close. For many, it was a first encounter with such an emblematic ambassador of sustainable maritime innovation. “Seeing the Energy Observer up close, understanding how everything we've been working on during the Challenge connects to real-life technology — it's honestly inspiring. It makes you realise that what we do here isn’t just theoretical, it's shaping the future,” shared Enguerrand from the team Néréides - UTT.

Since 2017, this floating laboratory has travelled over 68,000 nautical miles, visited more than 50 countries and proved the reliability of zero-emission technologies in a variety of conditions. “The Energy Observer, it's a really special boat because we are like a laboratory. We have tested all around the world many technology bricks, like solar panels. We also have a special sail: it's an ocean wing, it's really like a wing of a plane but in a vertical position, and hydrogen tank,” explained Jean Baptiste Sanchez, captain of the Observer. And now it's time for a new adventure: “We're going to start a new journey, nine years around the world to explore carbon neutrality and we are going to build a new vessel by 2027. So that means we are looking for new talents, new engineers to get on board with us,” added Benedicte Gallon, deputy CEO of the Observer. On Friday, June 6, at the opening of the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC3), Energy Observer unveiled EO3, its new expedition laboratory vessel, designed to explore future solutions for maritime and energy decarbonization.

This pioneering ocean-going catamaran, authentic floating innovation hub, marks the beginning of a new global adventure titled 'A journey to Carbon Neutrality' (2025–2033). The presence of the Energy Observer in Monaco embodies the tangible link between research and the energy transition.

DARWIN, Australia, Oct. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 450-seat conference room, a multimedia exhibition, talks, conferences and exhibitions for an immersive experience in Made in Italy through the country's excellence.
This is Villaggio Italia, the traveling expo that will open its doors Saturday in Darwin, Australia, where the Amerigo Vespucci docked Thursday as part of the 24th stop of its world tour.
The initiative, strongly supported by the Minister of Defense Guido Crosetto, combines the traditional training activity of the Navy's officer cadets and the promotion of Italy in the world.
During the three days of opening of the Village, meetings, debates and talks will be organized that will range from solidarity to research, passing through culture and cinema.
Every day the exhibition will also host a performance by the historic fanfare of the 8th Bersaglieri Regiment of the "Garibaldi" Brigade, which has already been a protagonist both in Darwin and in the city of Palmerstone, also in the Northern Territory.
Inside the Village it will be possible to immerse oneself in the beauty of Italy thanks to a multimedia exhibition that will present Italy through its craftsmanship, its culture, the faces, landscapes and panoramas that are symbols of the country.
As is the case in every world stage of the Vespucci Tour, the work "La David" by Jago will also be on display.
For visitors, who will have free access to the Darwin conference centre where the Village is located, there will also be the opportunity to visit the "Italia Geniale" (Genius Italy) exhibition created by the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy and the Ministry of Defence in collaboration with the Adi Design Museum dedicated to Italian design.

The Villaggio Italia will offer visitors many contents dedicated to the protection of marine and coastal habitats, to "marine protected areas" on the protection of underwater environmental and artistic beauties, on the monitoring, prevention and fight against marine pollution.
As in the Los Angeles and Tokyo stages, the Ministry of Tourism and Enit will be protagonists with a series of events including the conference dedicated to the theme of "Return Tourism".
The inauguration of the Village is scheduled for Saturday at 10:30 (2 am in Italy) in the presence of the Deputy Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy Valentino Valentini, the Ambassador to Australia Paolo Crudele, the President of Difesa Servizi Gioacchino Alfano and the Commander of the Vespucci, Captain Giuseppe Lai.

Villaggio Italia opens in Darwin, Australia on October 5th, 2024 on the occasion of the stopover of the Amerigo Vespucci Navy Ship during its World Tour

SAINT JORIOZ, France, Sept. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SeaBubbles, French pioneer in zero-emission hydrofoils, strengthens its commitment to ecological transition with the launch of SmartBubble, new flying boat model combining cutting-edge technology with iconic design. This innovative vessel, designed to carry up to eight people at a speed of 16 knots (30 km/h), takes its passengers on a silent and environmentally friendly flight, ideal for water taxi services and urban transportation.

The SmartBubble (SeaBubbles)

SmartBubble: Concentration of Technology and Design

Following the success of its first public line on Lake Annecy, where hundreds of passengers experienced the unique sensation of flying aboard The Bubble (4-seater model), SeaBubbles reaches a new milestone with the homologation of the SmartBubble (8-seater model) and its four patents, including retractable foils.

SmartBubble technology is geared towards energy efficiency. The submerged wings (foils) equipped with automatic flaps allow to fly at low speeds, saving 40% of energy required. This unique boat has just been presented afloat for the first time at the Cannes Yachting Festival.

SeaBubbles Strengthens Flight Control Expertise with Neocean Acquisition

SeaBubbles also announces the acquisition of Neocean technology, to accelerate the development of flight control expertise, specifically on "inverted T" foils. Neocean is renowned for developing the Overboat, foiling catamaran with proven stability and maneuverability.

SeaBubbles is a key player in hydrofoil navigation, technology that improves energy efficiency of boats, particularly electric ones. The flight control system is a central element of the flight experience: it is designed to ensure stable flight by dynamically and autonomously managing the mechanical inclination of the flaps on the trailing edges of the foils.

SeaBubbles: Vision for the Future

SeaBubbles' ambition is to revolutionize urban and suburban maritime transport with more efficient and environmentally friendly boats. Examples such as the Calanques National Park, Norwegian fjords, alpine lakes or the canals of Amsterdam demonstrate a committed initiative towards the preservation of aquatic ecosystems by gradually banning the circulation of thermal boats.

"Foils significantly reduce the drag of our boats, allowing our hydrofoils to move more easily and with less energy than a conventional boat: a considerable gain in cost and energy," explains Virginie Seurat, CEO of SeaBubbles. "The acquisition of Neocean marks a decisive turning point and prepares us for our industrialization phase. We are ready to redefine the pleasure of boating and offer boats that comply with increasingly stringent environmental standards, while offering unique sailing comfort - zero noise, zero waves, zero emissions."

TURIN, Italy, June 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Future of engineering focused on sustainable yachting. Everything's ready for the 11th edition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge taking place from 1st to 6th July. Organising the competition is the Yacht Club de Monaco, led by its President HSH Prince Albert II: the key objective being to demonstrate the efficiency of alternative propulsion and hull design innovations. "Seeing how committed the new generation is shows how important it is to find answers to environmental issues," says YCM General Secretary Bernard d’Alessandri. The aim is put on a zero-emission event in terms of on-water mobility with over 50 boats attending. More than 700 students from 40-plus universities around the world (25 nations) have been working on their projects all year to earn their place and present them in the Principality. The Village showcases all the boats that are either on or about to enter the market, as well as prototypes, and is open to the public.

In the Energy Class, a category developed by YCM, contestants can for the first time add foils to their prototypes, like the British from Cambridge University Riviera Racing with their hydrogen-powered foiling catamaran. Among the 18 teams in this class, the French from Tameo Ensta/Monaco Marine from Ensta Paris will also be serious contenders with their three-engine project inspired by differential propulsion, a first for the Energy Class. In the Solar Class, 13 teams are in the line-up including the Spanish on Clean Energy Ship Uvigo from the Universidade de Vigo presenting a rather unique hull design with lines similar to a catamaran and impressive speed potential. It aims to be very stable when racing before deploying the foils to generate lift and fly over the water. Finally, in the Open Sea class for boats already on or about to enter the market, several units will be showing what they can do. The 15 registered teams include Deep Silence from Sialia Yachts, one of the largest full electric propulsion boats available on the market; and two hydrogen-powered boats, Madblue marine P-01 and Inocel-Poséidon, which will be supplied with hydrogen on 5th July by Natpower. The new electric, highperformance day boat, the Tridente, developed in ollaboration with marine technology company Vita, who are long-term supporters of the event, will also be present.

Supported by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, UBS, BMW and SBM Offshore, the event has attracted the attention and support of well-known names in the industry like Monaco Marine, Oceanco, Ferretti Group, Azimut/Benetti Group, Sanlorenzo and Lürssen, all keen to play a part in the yachting transformation. So for these young competitors there are opportunities to make contact with the industry by applying for job offers and internships via the Job Forum. At the last edition this facility led to over 80 interviews. There is also investment in time made by the professionals through the Corporate Mentoring Programme which provides bespoke support year-round by facilitating exchanges between the industry and universities.

This year for the first time, YCM is partnering with IEMA (International Electric Marine Association) by helping it organise its first Annual Meeting at the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge. The event is multi-facetted, particularly on the water with a range of motorboating challenges such as the manoeuvrability tests, sea trials, speed record and the YCM E-Boat Rally. While innovative solutions are being tested on the water, students are also given a voice at the daily Tech Talks to exchange knowledge and experiences with fellow contestants in open source. As the focus is on progressing alternative propulsion, professionals get a chance to have their say at two half-day conferences: the first (Thursday 4th July) is on alternative fuels and cutting-edge technologies in the yachting field, while the second is the annual Hydrogen Round Table (5th edition this year) organised by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, the Monaco Energy Transition and YCM, which will address hydrogen innovation in the maritime and yachting industry.

The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation is launching the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation Sustainable Yachting Technology Award, the prize being a grant of €25,000 for best technological solution in terms of energy efficiency and/or carbon reduction. The winner will be announced on 6th July and will be able to present progress on their project at the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge for three years starting 2025.

Lastly, Dr Lydia Lai-Seng CHAN, a Committee Member of B & P Foundation mentioned in her speech that the visit of Shen Kuo research vessel coincided with the commencement of a 4-day visit of the Chinese manned space programme delegation in Hong Kong on 28 November. "This week, the stars are aligned this week, giving us this incredible and rather miraculous opportunity to both reach for the heavens and also dive into the deep. So hopefully, aside from astronauts, we will also produce many deep-sea explorers from Hong Kong in the years to come." she said.

A series of captivating activities began after the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

PHU QUOC, Vietnam, May 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Regent Phu Quoc, IHG Hotels & Resorts' sparkling jewel on Vietnam's "Pearl Island," has successfully staged its inaugural Regent Taste Studio, a one-of-a-kind, interactive dining experience that brought together leading local talent from the worlds of art, design, fashion and gastronomy in a four-day creative showcase.

This exclusive multi-sensory dining journey ran from 19^th to 22^nd April 2023 – to coincide with the resort's first anniversary – and immersed guests in the essence of its exotic destination. Titled "The Dialogue Between the Land, the Sea and its People," this unique culinary occasion took the form of a theatrical play divided into seven acts, each of which paid homage to Phu Quoc's cultural heritage. For this special collaboration, Ms. Devon Nguyen, fashion designer and abstract artist, created the "Capsule Collection" of one-of-a-kind gowns, inspired by the Regent Taste Studio, and Phu Quoc's natural wonders.

Act 1 of the evening, "Symbiosis," was staged at The Gallery and featured a reimagined Artist's Studio with a live demonstration of pearls from Ngoc Hien Pearl Farm and a jewelry-making workshop. This opening act set the stage for the rest of the evening, which drew inspiration from the connections between the land and sea and how these two worlds are interpreted through art and gastronomy. The first gown from Devon Nguyen's collection was also presented in the re-imagined Gallery.

Just as a theatrical production moves between scenes, Acts 2 to 6 were staged at Oku, the resort's signature restaurant, which was reimagined especially for this one-of-a-kind occasion. Each act saw Regent Phu Quoc's culinary masters, Devon Nguyen's "Capsule Collection" and music from the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music, unite to present various interpretations of Phu Quoc's seasons, the island's natural beauty and marine world.

Act 2, titled "The Shape of the Sea," saw Daniel Huynh, Chef de Cuisine at Ocean Club, present an exquisite dish of Phu Quoc Clams, while Act 3, "Full Bloom," paid homage to the bountiful gifts of Mother Nature with an original, artistic plate of Salted Egg Mantis Shrimp, crafted by Huan Tran, Chef de Cuisine at Rice Market.

Diners were also treated to the first two parts in Devon's "Capsule Collection": a floor-length gown with a mermaid silhouette, and a strapless gown with intricate lace detailing.

Act 4, "Essence of Life," allowed The Anh, Executive Sous Chef, to demonstrate the Phu Quoc Forest, a creative composition of yellow ant's eggs, kaffir lime, edible flowers and rose myrtles.

Act 5, "Spectrum of Contrasts," saw Chef Andy Huynh present Japanese Wagyu Beef Two Ways, which highlighted Phu Quoc's unexpected beauty, unique textures and tastes, creating a true spectrum of contrasts.

The culinary symphony came to a crescendo with Act 6, "The World of Art: Limitless," as Duyen Nguyen, Regent Phu Quoc's Executive Pastry Chef, created an original dessert of Peppered Strawberries, which used local ingredients to merge the worlds of art, fashion and cuisine.

Throughout these acts, Devon's "Capsule Collection" continued as models revealed a forest-inspired gown with organic woven patterns in Act 4, a vivid contrasting red and white dress in Act 5, and finally, a dramatic, full volume ballgown in Act 6.

Devon Nguyen Collection Inspirations In Her Own Words
The connection between fashion and gastronomy is multifaceted and complex. Both industries are concerned with aesthetics, creativity and the senses. With a focus on innovative and complex flavor combinations of Regent's Taste Studio Menu, I created a unique and sophisticated Capsule Collection. Luxurious and indulgent evening gowns using intricate embellishment, fabrics, focus on quality, sophistication and originality by taking inspiration from flavors, textures and colors of the Taste Studio gourmet dishes. Fashion has long been used as a means of self-expression and social commentary, while food has the power to bring people together and foster cultural exchange. Together with Regent Phu Quoc Chefs, we strive to create experiences that delight and inspire audiences, whether through visually stunning clothing or beautifully plated dishes.

The Regent Taste Studio's final act, "Ocean Calling," saw Devon present an original abstract artwork, inspired by the infinite depths of the ocean, the land, the people and the symbolic flower of Phu Quoc, rose myrtle. This surprising scene was staged in a secret venue that provided an exhilarating culmination to an unforgettable evening.

"We are honored to celebrate a year of unique hospitality since we opened the doors of Regent Phu Quoc in April 2022. To mark this milestone, we are revealing a series of signature hallmarks throughout the year – starting with the debut of the Regent Taste Studio. In collaboration with local artisans, musicians, and tastemakers in fashion, our Executive Chef Bruno Anon showcased a multi-sensory epicurean evening for our most discerning guests," shared Sriram Kailasam, Regent Phu Quoc General Manager.

Following the official on-property debut of the Regent Taste Studio in Vietnam, this original concept will traverse the globe with pop-up activations across Australia, Singapore, France, the UK and USA.

Meet Mr. Ho Phi Thuy of the Ngoc Hien Pearl Farm
The founder of Ngoc Hien Pearl Farm - Mr. Ho Phi Thuy was born and raised in a modest family in Thach Ha District, Ha Tinh Province. As an adventurous 19 years old, he decided to leave the comfort of his home and travelled to Phu Quoc Island to pursue his dream. When he arrived at this new land, he had no acquaintances and no money but was fascinated by the world of pearls and quickly qualified to be a skilled Pearl diver. Through perseverance and passion, he accumulated enough money to buy a boat which was highly coveted for a man so young. Unfortunately, in 1997 typhoon Linda swept through Phu Quoc and Mr. Thuy's boat was badly damaged. Recalling the hardships, he always believed that there was a spiritual relationship between him and the boat. He nearly gave up on his dream of setting up a Pearl farm but, as in life, a fortuitous turn led him to a Japanese company specializing in culturing pearls who not only hired him as their local specialist but also bought his repaired boat. Blending Vietnamese hard work with Japanese precision, it was a very productive period that taught him great lessons that would come in handy when he eventually created Ngoc Hien Pearl Farm. At Ngoc Hien Pearl Farm, visitors can catch a glimpse of the boat that sheltered Mr. Ho Phi Thuy during his time on Phu Quoc island, a significant piece of history to behold.
