E1 reveals ‘Race to Hong Kong’

• December 28, 2023

Hong Kong has signed up to host the season finale of the world’s first all-electric race boat championship in 2024, 2025 and 2026.

Victoria Harbour; Photo: Hong Kong Tourism Board

The UIM E1 World Championship has revealed a seven-event schedule for its first series in 2024, with Hong Kong hosting the concluding event from November 9-10 and signing up to also host the season finale of the second and third seasons in 2025 and 2026.

The official standings will be known as the ‘Race to Hong Kong’ as the 2024 championship concludes in a city that has also hosted Formula E, the electric race car series inaugurated by E1 co-founder Alejandro Agag.

Kevin Yeung, the Hong Kong SAR Government’s Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, said: “We are most excited to see the debut of UIM E1 World Championship in 2024 and are proud that Hong Kong will host the grand finale of the first three seasons.

“It will be the only East Asian host city in the inaugural season, highlighting Hong Kong’s reputation as a world-renowned events capital and one of the best destinations for tourists around the world.”

E1 World Championship 2024 schedule

The 2024 season starts in Saudi Arabia as Jeddah hosts the first weekend event from February 2-3. Over three months later, the series resumes with five events in Europe from May to September, taking in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Monaco and the Netherlands.

The European swing kicks off in the Venetian lagoon from May 11-12, moves to Puerto Banus on the Costa Del Sol from June 1-2 and then heads to the ‘gateway to the Alps’ in Geneva for lake racing from June 29-30.

The series then visits Monaco from July 26-27 and Rotterdam from September 7-8, as the Dutch city welcomes back the Racebirds after hosting a test event last September. The 2024 tour then heads east to Asia for the season finale in Hong Kong.

The teams will compete in all-electric Racebirds

Rodi Basso, co-founder and CEO of E1, said: “I share the pride of everyone at E1 as we announce this spectacular calendar of events for our first season. These cities are all world renowned for their cultural, touristic and sporting offerings and will each provide our fans with a unique and unforgettable experience.

“Our race locations not only provide a stunning backdrop for our Racebirds but align with our goals of improving the ecosystems in which we race, and accelerating marine electrification.”

As of late December, eight teams had been announced with seven headed by sporting and entertainment celebrities: Tom Brady (American football), Rafa Nadal (tennis), Virat Kohli (cricket), Didier Drogba (football) and Sergio Pérez (F1), Steve Aoki (DJ) and Marc Anthony (singer) . Up to 10 teams will compete in the inaugural E1 championship, with each choosing two pilots to share driving duties. 

Alejandro Agag, co-founder and Chairman of E1, said: “The list of names in the season one calendar shows the immense confidence our city stakeholders have in E1 before the first race has even started and there’s still so much more to come from the championship.”

The global yacht market was valued at USD 26 billion in 2023 and is forecast to grow to USD 40.4 billion in 2029, registering a CAGR of 7.62% from 2023-2029.

The yacht market is marked by intense competition among global and regional players, each vying for a share in the lucrative luxury boating industry. Prominent yacht manufacturers such as Azimut-Benetti, Ferretti Group, and Sunseeker International are key players known for producing high-quality and innovative vessels.

The competitive landscape is characterized by a continuous pursuit of technological advancements, eco-friendly solutions, and unique design elements to cater to the discerning tastes of high-net-worth individuals. Yacht brokerage firms, including Burgess and Fraser, contribute to the competitive ecosystem by facilitating yacht sales and charter services.

Europe holds the most prominent share of the global yacht market, accounting for over 35% in 2023. With its vast maritime history, Europe boasts a captivating market defined by its coastlines and inclination for extravagant living standards. The European market reflects the continent's diversity and variety, offering various yacht sizes to cater to different preferences. In this enchanting landscape, smaller yachts up to 20 meters and larger-sized yachts exceeding 50 meters hold prominent positions. The market thrives as a traditional yachting hub, with countries like Italy, France, and Germany leading in manufacturing and innovation.

Additionally, emerging players in the yacht industry from the Asia-Pacific region are making notable strides, adding a new dimension to the market's competitive dynamics. As consumer preferences evolve and sustainability becomes a focal point, the yacht market remains dynamic, with companies strategically positioning themselves to stay ahead in this glamorous yet fiercely competitive industry.

MARKET TRENDS & OPPORTUNITIES

• Economic Growth and High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs)

Economic growth and the rise in the number of high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) play pivotal roles in propelling the growth of the yacht market. As economies expand, disposable incomes increase, fostering a culture of luxury and leisure. High-net-worth individuals, drawn to exclusive experiences, often view yacht ownership as a symbol of prestige and a means to enjoy a lavish lifestyle.

Economic prosperity translates into an expanding customer base capable of affording yachts, ranging from mid-sized cruisers to superyachts. The market responds to this demand by offering various vessels with cutting-edge technology, opulent amenities, and personalized features. As more individuals achieve financial affluence, the allure of yacht ownership intensifies, contributing significantly to the sustained growth and dynamism of the global yacht market.

Rising Disposable Incomes

The increasing disposable income among consumers is a key driver of growth in the yacht industry. As disposable incomes rise, individuals and families often seek unique and luxurious leisure experiences, with yacht ownership representing the epitome of exclusivity and sophistication. Yachts, from smaller cruisers to extravagant superyachts, become attainable for a broader population with higher purchasing power.

The ability to afford such a symbol of opulence and leisure fosters a growing interest in yachting, driving demand within the market. Yacht manufacturers respond to this trend by introducing various models catering to different preferences and budget ranges. The rising disposable income, therefore, not only expands the market size but also fuels innovation and diversity within the yacht industry, contributing to its sustained growth.

INDUSTRY RESTRAINTS

High Upfront Cost

The high upfront costs associated with yacht ownership pose a significant constraint on the growth of the yacht market. Yachts, especially larger and more luxurious models, come with substantial price tags, including the vessel's purchase price, maintenance, crew salaries, docking fees, and other operational expenses.

The financial commitment required upfront can deter potential buyers, limiting the market to a niche segment of high-net-worth individuals. The exclusivity of yacht ownership often stems from these significant costs, creating a barrier for those who might otherwise be interested in entering the market. While financing options and charter services exist to make yachting more accessible, the perception of prohibitively high costs remains challenging, restricting the market from reaching a broader audience and realizing its full growth potential.

SEGMENTATION INSIGHTS

INSIGHTS BY TYPE

The global yacht market is broadly segmented into sailing and motorized yachts, each catering to distinct preferences and purposes. The conventional sailing yachts, propelled primarily by wind energy, offer a timeless and elegant nautical experience, attracting enthusiasts who appreciate the thrill of sailing and the romanticism associated with wind-powered navigation.

On the other hand, motorized yachts, equipped with engines for propulsion, provide a more dynamic and versatile on-water experience, appealing to those who seek speed, convenience, and the ability to cover greater distances. The motorized yachts segment holds a higher market share and is expected to grow with a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Several countries and regions worldwide stand out for their strong and sustained demand for motorized yachts. For instance, demand for motorized yachts in the Mediterranean is buoyed by local buyers and international tourists seeking the luxury and adventure of maritime exploration.

INSIGHTS BY MOTORIZED YACHT

The motorized yacht segment represents a dynamic and diverse sector within the yacht market, catering to enthusiasts who value speed, convenience, and advanced technology. This category includes subsegments such as superyachts, flybridge yachts, sport yachts, and long-range yachts. Superyachts, known for their luxury and size, hold the highest share and are often equipped with luxurious amenities. Moreover, a relentless pursuit of innovation and cutting-edge technology marks the super yacht segment. Advancements in materials, engineering, and onboard systems contribute to developing more efficient, eco-friendly, and luxurious super yachts.

INSIGHTS BY SIZE

The global yacht market by size is segmented into 20 to 50 meters, up to 20 meters, and above 50 meters. Yachts ranging from 20 to 50 meters in length currently hold a maximum market share of over 50%, appealing to a broad spectrum of buyers seeking a balance between spaciousness and manageability. In this segment, buyers often find versatility for both private and charter use. However, the up to 20-meter category is expected to exhibit the highest CAGR, driven by increasing accessibility and affordability.

These smaller yachts offer entry-level options, making yacht ownership more attainable for a broader market. On the other end, yachts above 50 meters cater to ultra-high-net-worth individuals, providing expansive living spaces, cutting-edge amenities, and the epitome of luxury. The segmentation by size allows the market to address the diverse demands of buyers, from those seeking intimate cruising experiences to those desiring grand, superyacht opulence.

INSIGHTS BY HULL TYPE

The global yacht market encompasses diverse hull types, influencing the vessel's performance, stability, and functionality. Monohull yachts hold the maximum share of the market when compared to their counterparts. It features a single hull and is known for its stability and efficiency, making it suitable for various applications. Various manufacturers and builders populate the monohull yacht industry, each bringing their touch of craftsmanship and innovation. Renowned names such as Beneteau, Jeanneau, and Dufour have established themselves as leaders in this segment.

Moreover, displacement hulls displace water rather than riding on top, offering a comfortable and steady ride, ideal for long-distance cruising. Furthermore, specialized hulls are designed for specific purposes, such as ice-breaking hulls for polar exploration or SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) for improved stability in rough seas. Each hull type caters to different preferences, applications, and navigational conditions, contributing to the diversity and innovation within the market.
