WAYFOONG

Wayfoong, a luxuriously restored, authentic 1930 steam launch, is the ultimate venue for a candle-lit dinner on Hong Kong’s South Side.

She is an exact replica of her mother ship, Wayfoong Mark 1, which was launched by Aberdeen’s famous Whampoa Docks in 1898, making her an absolutely unique example of a 19th century-type launch still in service in Hong Kong. Having belonged to the HSBC for more than 80 years, Wayfoong was originally used to carry gold and silver bullion to and from ships anchored in Victoria Harbour, occasionally burning out-of-circulation bank notes in its furnaces to power its steam turbine. The original engine was replaced with the ship’s first diesel engine in 1948. From the 1960s onwards, Wayfoong was used mainly for corporate entertainment and famed for serving the best curry in town to HSBC clients and management. Privately owned since 2006, Wayfoong has been lovingly restored by its present owners. Manned by a professional English-speaking crew of 3, she will accommodate 26 guests in timeless luxury.

Brand new innovative wakesurfing boats. Now available in Hong Kong.

As wakesurfing rises in popularity in Hong Kong, even surpassing wakeboarding – a similar, yet fundamentally different sport – surfing boat manufacturers have taken the opportunity to modify, refine, and upgrade their boat designs. Unlike wakeboarding, wakesurfing requires a particular set of features, such as a different engine placement and hull shape, alongside innovative and advanced equipment to provide an enjoyable, safe, and unforgettable wakesurfing experience.

The main difference between wakesurfing and wakeboarding is that with wakesurfing, you aren’t permanently attached to the boat via a rope. Wakeboarding gained popularity thanks to being an invigorating and fun sport in which you travel at high speeds across the water behind a boat. Wakesurfing is typically a slower – but by no means easier – sport in which you surf in the waves made by the boat’s engines. This provides surfers in Hong Kong with much easier and guaranteed access to surfable waves, provided the boat is designed correctly.

The design of the boat

The design of wakesurfing boats differs from wakeboarding boats in that there is a greater emphasis on your safety. Rather than jutting out of the back of the boat, the propellers are located on the bottom – safely out of reach of anyone in the water.

In addition to this, boats with a convex V-shaped hull ride deeper in the water, creating a bigger and more surfable wave. This is different from boats with flatter hulls that might be better for water skiing, for example.

Depending on the model of the boat, there is ample storage and a luxurious cockpit with plenty of space to move around in. There is also plenty of ballast weight on the boat for extra security without sacrificing any storage space.
