Sunseeker China has sold a sublime Sunseeker 80 Yacht to Chinese snack food giant Want-Want Group (whose Chinese characters signify prosperity).

The purchase reflects the exceptional quality of lifestyle associated with the blossoming Chinese yachting industry.

Recognised by Forbes Global as one of the finest companies in the world with a revenue stream below $500 million, in its 40-year plus history, Want-Want has become a household name in China.

The company already possesses two private jets so it was a logical step for the group’s chairman to purchase this 24.44-metre behemoth of pure luxury.

Mr. Tsai, the chairman of The Want-Want Group, flew his Gulfstream Jet to Sanya to inspect the craft in person and ordered one immediately afterwards.

The CEO of Sunseeker China, Mr. Traugott Kaminski, said: “I believe even more after this deal that private jets and private yachts are a new symbol of social status.”

“Want-Want is an extremely important customer for Sunseeker China. Their trust in us illustrates that Sunseeker China has established an excellent level of service amongst our customers and because all of our clients are somehow connected, the outstanding service we provide simply wins us more and more customers.”

Sunseeker China has built up a mature service system which offers potential buyers a completely integrated package.

Sunseeker China handles everything from yacht sales to transportation, and from importation to registration as well as the management of professional captains and crew.

The 80-footer has a cruising speed of 22 knots (40.7 km/hour) and can be used for a range of 350 nautical miles.

She is one of seven large, luxury vessels that Sunseeker China has sold this year
