When you’re considering a yacht for sale, the condition of the vessel is key to determining the price and speed of the transaction. A yacht with a dilapidated exterior, aging interior, and lack of recent maintenance records is often significantly underpriced by buyers in the market, or even undervalued by professional brokers. Now, Hong Kong shipowners have a cost-effective strategy: to move their vessels north to Zhuhai through VOY for a comprehensive “pre-sale refurbishment and maintenance”, which is not just maintenance but a savvy asset optimization investment.
Extensive vessel refurbishment and interior refitting in Hong Kong can be costly and lengthy, often deterring shipowners from selling their ships. However, Zhuhai’s partner shipyards, with their more competitive cost structures and ample workstation resources, can provide professional hull restoration, deep polishing, and interior renovation services. We recommend taking advantage of the price advantage of “Hong Kong Ships Going North” and investing the saved maintenance costs in interior upgrades, deck teak renovations and other projects, which are the highlights that buyers are most attracted to at first sight, directly enhancing the market competitiveness of the yacht.
Comparison of value-added northbound: key decisions before selling ships
| value-added strategy | in Hong Kong | Go north to Zhuhai via VOY | Effects and Benefits |
| Interior renovation | The quotation is high and the construction period is long | Cost savings of 30%-40% | The interior has a new look, attracting high-end buyers. |
| Hull upper row/polished | Reservations are required several months in advance | Flexible scheduling for greater efficiency | Eliminate hull defects and improve appearance. |
| Major engine maintenance | Expensive | The Hong Kong team supervises the work, and the quality is assured | Maintain up-to-date maintenance records to increase buyer trust. |
Our commitment: Hong Kong supervisors to ensure renovation quality and market value
VOY understands that the quality of refurbishment is the foundation of whether it can sell at a high price. Therefore, our Hong Kong shipyard masters or our employees will supervise the entire renovation project, from material selection to process execution. This includes durability checks on interior materials, mirror polishing effects on paint and gel layers, and performance debugging of all mechanical components. We offer not only cheap renovations, but also a “value-added report” endorsed by Hong Kong professionals. It’s definitely a worthwhile deal to invest a small one-time refurbishment that will get your boat out of hands faster when it sells and sell for 10% to 20% more than expected.
