十五年深耕，从一艘游艇到一个海洋帝国
A chronicle of Fantastic Vacation's key milestones from a Shenzhen startup to a global presence, showcasing our continuous refinement and strategic evolution in the high-end yachting services sector.
Fantastic Vacation Industrial Co., Ltd. was registered and founded in Shenzhen by a core team of experienced nautical professionals and luxury service consultants. With a vision to "deliver world-class yachting lifestyle solutions to Asia's high-net-worth community", we completed our first client consultations and signed three founding member clients within the founding year.
Client Value: From day one, we established a dedicated butler service model, ensuring every client has a single point of contact to avoid fragmented communication.
Established initial cooperation agreements with several renowned Italian shipyards, becoming one of the early professional service firms to bring European high-end yacht resources into the Chinese market. Completed our first consultancy project — a comprehensive feasibility analysis and model recommendation report for a client in South China.
Client Value: Helped first-time yacht buyers avoid selection pitfalls, cutting the average decision cycle by 40%.
Developed a comprehensive service standards manual covering needs consulting, model recommendation, shipyard liaison, build supervision, and delivery training. The team expanded to 15 members, and our first client experience centre was established in Shenzhen, serving over 30 clients annually.
Client Value: Standardised service processes ensure predictable, traceable project delivery quality, eliminating the industry pain point of "easy to buy, hard to manage."
Successfully delivered our first fully customised turnkey yacht — a 38-metre flybridge series, jointly designed and built with a renowned European shipyard. The 18-month project encompassed exterior design, bespoke interiors, and hull engineering supervision. By year-end, cumulative yacht deliveries reached five with over 50 clients served.
Client Value: The turnkey customisation model frees clients from multi-party coordination between shipyards, designers, and supervisors — with transparent, manageable project timelines.
Launched our first charter route product series covering major Southeast Asian waters. Established berthing cooperation agreements with five key port cities, offering VIP-exclusive berth reservations. Charter services exceeded 80 client trips that year with a 35% repeat booking rate.
Client Value: Experience the high-end seafaring lifestyle without yacht ownership — lowering the entry barrier while offering prospective buyers a chance to "test the waters."
Our first overseas operations centre officially opened in the Mediterranean, featuring a localised maintenance team and marina resources. That same year we launched the "Mediterranean Boutique Routes" charter series, extending our service radius from Asia into Europe's core yacht consumer market. Cumulative managed fleet reached 12 yachts.
Client Value: Chinese clients enjoy localised support when cruising the Mediterranean, eliminating cross-border language and cultural barriers.
Launched our industry-leading "360° Yacht Management System", providing existing yacht owners with full-process management services including routine maintenance, annual surveys, crew management, insurance renewal, and documentation. Managed fleet exceeded 20 yachts that year with management revenue growing 120% year-on-year.
Client Value: Owners achieve professional yacht management without assembling a dedicated in-house team, saving over 30% in annual management costs on average.
Established deep technical partnerships with multiple century-old shipyards in Italy and the Netherlands, securing official authorised dealer status. Added three new partner marinas in Southeast Asia, bringing global berthing partnerships beyond 50. Cumulative clients surpassed 120 and the team grew to 45 members.
Client Value: Authorised dealer status means priority production scheduling, more favourable procurement pricing, and more reliable after-sales support.
Awarded "Asia's Best Yacht Service Provider" for the third consecutive year at an authoritative industry awards programme, becoming the first ever three-time winner. Our Elite Membership system was officially launched that same year. Cumulative high-net-worth clients exceeded 200 with the repeat purchase rate rising to 38%.
Client Value: The membership system offers high-frequency clients priority route bookings, exclusive event invitations, and preferential management rates.
Our service network spanned over 30 key ports and yacht marinas worldwide, with charter routes extending to Antarctica and the South Pacific. The team surpassed 100 members, managing over 50 yacht projects annually. Digital Client Service Platform 1.0 went live, bringing route booking, management reports, and member benefits online.
Client Value: The digital platform lets clients monitor yacht status, itinerary plans, and spending records anytime — making service transparent and fully traceable.
Full operations commenced at our Dubai and Miami representative offices, officially opening the Americas and Middle East markets. Digital Platform 2.0 upgraded to fully digitise all business processes. The electric yacht product line completed R&D, and the first hybrid custom yacht was signed for construction with expected delivery in 2027. Cumulative clients exceeded 350 with the managed fleet surpassing 80 yachts.
Client Value: Broader global route choices, greener yacht propulsion options, and smarter digital service experiences — continuously exceeding expectations.
