????此外，中國(guó)政府近年來(lái)一直在大力整頓企業(yè)腐敗。一些富豪擔(dān)心乘坐游艇出行或是請(qǐng)客戶或官員出海享樂(lè)，可能會(huì)將他們暴露在調(diào)查人員的視野中。

????另外還有地理問(wèn)題。對(duì)于歐洲人來(lái)說(shuō)，游艇的另一個(gè)吸引力就是可以坐著它逛逛地中海的小島。但在中國(guó)，類似于南沙碼頭和一洋國(guó)際游艇俱樂(lè)部這樣的游艇碼頭寥寥無(wú)幾。此外，中國(guó)仍然缺少某些支持超級(jí)游艇的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，比如修理廠。更不用說(shuō)也沒(méi)有像地中海那樣美麗的海岸線。

????當(dāng)然，種種因素也沒(méi)有能阻止少數(shù)中國(guó)超級(jí)富豪購(gòu)買和保有游艇的腳步——只不過(guò)他們是在歐洲、美國(guó)和亞洲其它地區(qū)購(gòu)買的。中國(guó)超級(jí)游艇市場(chǎng)雖然增速緩慢，但畢竟還是在增長(zhǎng)。游艇制造公司Spirits Yachts的常務(wù)董事奈杰爾?斯圖爾特表示：“想購(gòu)買超級(jí)游艇的中國(guó)人可能會(huì)在歐洲或亞洲的其它國(guó)家購(gòu)買?！彼赋觯录悠?、泰國(guó)和馬來(lái)西亞都是“絕佳的航海目的地”。歐洲的游艇經(jīng)紀(jì)人經(jīng)常參加位于上海、大連和海南的游艇展，希望能夠吸引到那些夢(mèng)想坐著游艇周游圣特魯佩斯、戛納和卡普里島的中國(guó)富豪。

????盡管中國(guó)本身還不是一個(gè)游艇旅游的好去處，但作為游艇生產(chǎn)基地，它已經(jīng)積累了一定的口碑，特別是更低的制造成本。據(jù)《國(guó)際舟船》雜志報(bào)道，在十大超級(jí)游艇生產(chǎn)國(guó)中，中國(guó)目前排名第8位。另?yè)?jù)奧克蘭市政府的調(diào)查顯示，中國(guó)目前年產(chǎn)超級(jí)游艇28艘，生產(chǎn)基地分別位于山東和廣東。

????與意大利去年269艘游艇的產(chǎn)量相比，中國(guó)的產(chǎn)量顯得微不足道。但43%的奢侈品進(jìn)口稅也意味著中國(guó)的國(guó)產(chǎn)游艇將更具吸引力——只要需求還在增長(zhǎng)。

????In recent years, the government also has cracked down on corporate corruption, and some may fear that cruising around on a superyacht and using it to entertain clients (and government officials) might make an exec more visible — and perhaps more of a target.

????And then, there’s just simple geography. Part of the appeal of cruising has been puttering around idyllic Mediterranean archipelagos. While China has a few key marinas like Nansha Marina in Guangzhou and Ocean One International Yacht Club, it still lacks some of the infrastructure to support superyachts, such as repair yards, as well as the Mediterranean’s pretty coastline.

????Of course, none of this has stopped a few ultra-wealthy Chinese from buying, and keeping, yachts — in Europe, the U.S., and even elsewhere in Asia. The superyacht market in China is growing, albeit very slowly. “Chinese looking into superyachts may buy in Europe and elsewhere in Asia,” said Nigel Stuart, managing director of Spirits Yachts, a yacht building company. He noted that Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia are “stunning blue water cruising destinations.” European brokers are regulars at the Shanghai, Dalian and Hainan Rendez Vous boat shows, hoping to lure Chinese buyers with the dream of cruising around St. Tropez, Cannes, and Capri.

????While China may not yet be a destination for yachting itself, it is gaining a reputation as a base for yacht-building, primarily because of its lower costs. According to Boat International, China now ranks eighth in the top ten superyacht building nations, and 28 superyachts were constructed there in one year, mainly in Shandong and Guandong, according to the Auckland Government study.

????To be sure, the Chinese yacht construction is small fry compared to Italy’s 269 yachts built last year, but the 43 percent import tax on luxury goods means that domestic construction in China will becoming even more appealing, as long as demand grows.
