Hainan Ya Qing International Clearwater Bay Marina: Yacht Rentals, Marina & Seaside Getaway in Lingshui

The sun dances on the snow-white hulls of elegant yachts, and the air is filled with the promise of adventure — this is what the dream of escaping everyday routine looks like: unforgettable journeys with family or friends, and the freedom under sail. 

On Hainan, this dream takes tangible form: the island is home to some of the finest marinas, where the life of sea enthusiasts brims with energy and excitement!

A marina is far more than a mooring for yachts, motorboats, and sailing boats. It is a fully equipped hub with safe berths, maintenance services, fuelling stations, and boat washes. But beyond that, it's a vibrant world of leisure, sport, and community — a place where people united by their love of the sea and the wind come together.

On the stunning island of Hainan, in Lingshui County, this marina is not an exclusive enclave for the privileged few — it's a welcoming port open to all. Here, everything is in place to turn your sailing dreams into reality: yacht and sailing boats, premium accommodation, luxury dining, and an array of exciting water activities.

And if you're looking to mark a milestone in true premium style — luxury yachts await, ready to host unforgettable dinners, wedding ceremonies, romantic proposals, or simply heartfelt moments with those closest to you.

Recognition at the Highest Level: Best Marina in Asia 

In 2026, the Ya Qing International Clearwater Bay Marina reached a historic milestone — at the Yacht Style Awards ceremony held during the Singapore Yachting Festival, it received the prestigious "Marina in Asia — Best Marina in Asia" award, becoming the first club from China to be honoured with this title.

This award is one of the most authoritative in the yachting industry of the Asia-Pacific region. It is presented for outstanding management, service quality, infrastructure, and client experience. Previously, the club had already received numerous national awards, including the "China Yacht Award 2022" and the title of "Leading Marina 2021". This Asian recognition was the natural outcome of years of development.

General Information

The Ya Qing International Clearwater Bay Marina is not just a marina, but an entire coastal complex covering 540,000 sq. m. It harmoniously combines yacht berths, ship repair facilities, port clearance services, resort leisure, art, education, and regatta events.

The marina project was designed by the French architectural firm NDA (Encore Heureux). The harbour waters cover 380,000 sq. m, with a total of 873 international berths planned. In the first phase, 301 berths have already been completed, including 32 superyacht berths capable of accommodating vessels up to 220 feet in length. This means the marina is ready to accommodate vessels of any class — from small motorboats to true floating palaces.

International Port: Open Gates to the World

In 2021, Qingshuiwan Port was granted the status of a state‑open port of the People's Republic of China. In 2024, a major upgrade was completed with the construction of a modern inspection and clearance building covering 12,300 sq. m, featuring an efficient "single‑window" system for border, customs, and maritime control.

In April 2026, the marina received permission for temporary entry of foreign vessels. This significantly simplifies arrival and departure procedures for international yachtsmen and opens Hainan to yacht owners from around the world.

Freedom Lighthouse and Singing Beach

The lighthouse in the port area, known as the "Freedom Lighthouse", became a true star after appearing in the film "Lost in the stars" and is now one of Hainan's most beloved attractions.

And the nearby "Freedom Beach" is one of only three "singing beaches" in the world. Its snow-white sand and crystal-clear waters meet the highest standard of marine water quality. Up to 200 metres from the shore, the depth does not exceed 2 metres, and the gentle slope into the water makes it an ideal destination for family holidays and water activities all year round.

Yacht and Sailing Boats Rentals

The yacht club offers an impressive selection of vessels to suit every taste — from graceful sailing yachts to luxurious motor yachts. Available models include:

— Azimut 72 Fly (72 ft) — Italian luxury and flawless style

— Sessa 68 Fly Gullwing (68 ft) — elegance and innovative design

— Xingrui 62 (62 ft) — comfort and reliability of Chinese craftsmanship

— Bavaria C45 (45 ft) — the perfect choice for a relaxed sailing getaway

Beyond rentals, the club offers yacht sales, yacht trading, and a full range of repair and technical services at its own 20,000 sq. m shipyard complex. The onshore dry storage facility can hold up to 30 vessels at a time.

Accommodation at the Marina

For those looking to stay a little longer, the yacht club offers 15 rooms in three categories — each with its own character and style:

— Presidential Sea‑View Suite (3 units) — for true luxury connoisseurs

— Standard Twin Sea‑View Room (4 units) — with panoramic views of the bay

— Park & Sea‑View Room (7 units) — a harmonious blend of greenery and azure

Culture, Shopping, and Gastronomy

The culinary experience at the Marina is a pleasure in itself. Breakfast is served directly to your room, while lunch and dinner can be enjoyed at the "Hai Shi Liu" seafood restaurant on the 2nd floor of Building C. Under the guidance of the head chef, the restaurant serves Cantonese and Hainanese cuisine, with a focus on the freshest seafood.

Beyond gastronomy, the building houses exhibition centres and shops: the SUNDAY HOME furniture showroom, the Sanhe vintage car exhibition area, an F1 racing car display, a Lawson convenience store, and other spaces.

The Marina also features its own art gallery with works by renowned masters, as well as the Clear Water Bay Marine Art Centre — a world-class multifunctional theatre seating nearly 1,000 guests. Its glass walls open onto breathtaking views of the turquoise waters, creating a truly unique atmosphere: a performance with a sea view.
