YCA attended Shenzhen Dameisha Boat Show

YCA is very pleased with the success of the Shenzhen Dameisha Boat show 2008 held Oct.23-26 2008. Billy Baycroft - CEO and Sunshine Jiang - G.M attended the show with Greentea Yang - Procurement Manager were present to represent YCA. The Shenzhen Boat Show was the 1st Boatshow in Water in China and is considered by many to be one of the best Yacht shows in all of Asia.  In attendance were many well known Yacht Builders, Designers and Suppliers.  The booth at the show generated a lot of potential clients and interests for YCA and it was a great opportunity for YCA to meet new Clients and rekindle old relationships.

We would like to thank Maggie for her friendly and professional approach in setting up this year's Shenzhen Boatshow. Please visit our booth in 2009.

YCA Folding Bicycles for Yachters, Young and Old…

We have searched long and hard to find a bicycle builder who can really understand and could meet the Yachter's need for the not so humble bicycle.

Our requirements were seemingly simple!

  • Non rusting
  • Durable
  • Easily stow able
  • Light weight
  • Cost effective
  • And of course a high 'COOL' factor!

Finally, in the Spring of 2008 we found an already successful and well established bike designer/builder that would allow us to have full participation in design, QA, parts availability and branding as well as cooperate in every possible way to get it right and keep it that way!

Please view our folding bicycles catalog on the following pages http://www.yca-hk.com/yacht-bicycles.php. We believe you'll agree, that they are well built and engineered with the Yachter in mind….and yes… "COOL"… too!

YCA’s China Operations Office Moves to Shekou.

We are (r-eeeaaally) pleased to announce that we've relocated our Operations office from Baoan (near the Shenzhen Airport), to "The Peninsula" just blocks away from the Shekou ferry terminal. Amongst just about every modern amenity possible, the Peninsula boasts a waterfront Marina and Yacht Club, complimenting to what we think is one of the most prestigious (Yacht related) addresses in Southeast China.

Macao, Zhuhai and Hong Kong are easily accessible by Turbo Jet ferry at a very reasonable cost and excellent service, as are direct nonstop service to and from the Hong Kong Airport.

Nearing completion, the Shenzhen NanHai Marina is found only a few blocks away, making YCA easily available to the Yachting public from just about anywhere.

We're looking forward to assembling our YCA "in-house" design team as well as the new YCA Yacht Brokerage office at our new location, within a few months.

Visit our contacts page to get our new address and contact information; we're looking forward to your visit!
