機管局與摩納哥遊艇俱樂部建立合作關係 支持SKYTOPIA遊艇港灣發展

HKBIA congratulates Platinum Member Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) on signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM) to support the development of SKYTOPIA Yacht Bay and foster long-term growth across Asia’s yachting sector. Announced on 9 November 2026 (Marina World; The Standard), the agreement was signed by AAHK Chief Executive Officer Vivian Cheung Kar-fay and YCM Secretary General and Managing Director Bernard d’Alessandri, building on an AAHK delegation visit led by Chairman Fred Lam Tin-fuk during September’s Monaco Yacht Show.

Under the MoU, both organisations will explore international marina affiliation under La Belle Classe Destinations, an initiative launched by YCM in 2011 to benchmark excellence across premier marinas and yachting destinations worldwide. Collaboration will also span joint promotion of nautical and superyacht events across Hong Kong and Monaco, alongside professional maritime and hospitality training programmes delivered through La Belle Classe Academy (Superyacht Guide).

Forming the waterfront centrepiece of AAHK’s SKYTOPIA Airport City blueprint adjacent to Hong Kong International Airport, SKYTOPIA Yacht Bay is planned to provide 500 berths—around half capable of accommodating superyachts—with initial marina phases targeted for completion in 2028/29.
