China Sanya Yacht Import & Export Trade Association

Yihong (Shui Shen)

Association visit

The company has formally renamed itself to reflect a wider remit than yachts alone, moving toward waterfront technology equipment as a whole, though the Yihong yacht name remains in use at brand level. Strategically the business now runs on two clearly separated lines.

Shui Shen addresses overseas markets with private luxury yachts — the higher-end series, oriented toward styling and lifestyle expression. Sistela addresses the domestic market with tourism, sightseeing, charter, scenic-area support, water transport and new-energy applications, which is not private yachting in the conventional sense.

Current principal models are 64, 68, 78, 85 and 95 ft, plus a 72 ft catamaran. A new 46 ft and a 55 ft series are planned.

The Longhai plant in Zhangzhou remains in use; on site it was noted that the building's height is among the greater in Fujian province and can accommodate construction up to around 144–150 ft.

The yard's own reading of the new-energy segment is notably cautious: standards and certification for pure electric, lithium and solid-state systems are still evolving both domestically and internationally, and liability boundaries are not fully settled — a view worth weighing against the general enthusiasm around the category.
