Product Info
Sailing in Wuyuan Bay allows you to enjoy the coastal scenery along the way. The sailboats are docked at the Wuyuan Bay Yacht Marina in Huli District, Xiamen. Sailing relies on natural wind power, making it a fashionable and eco-friendly sport without noise or fuel pollution. It is neither as intense as a speedboat nor as leisurely as a cruise ship; it is just right—neither too fast nor too slow. Sitting on the sailboat and feeling the sea breeze is incredibly relaxing.
Route: Wutong Sailing Port - Wuyuan Bay Bridge - Waters near Xiang'an Bridge - Waters near Crocodile Island - Waters near Phoenix Stadium - Wild Dolphin Nature Reserve - Distant view of Kinmen Island
As your feet step onto the deck, the salty sea breeze greets you—an invitation unique to the ocean. Set sail and let the wind be your guide as you embark on a dreamlike journey of exploration and discovery. Every voyage is a journey into the unknown, and every time you set sail, it is a passionate pursuit of freedom.
Wuyuan Bay Sailing Port boasts over 2 square kilometers of expansive water, surrounded by mountains, with favorable winds and ice-free seawater year-round, earning it the reputation of being "the most beautiful sailing harbor" among many sailors. The port is planned to have 300 sailboat berths and a corresponding marina, and includes a sailing culture exhibition hall, a sailing equipment exhibition area, and a 60,000-square-meter sailing park.
Wuyuan Bay Sailing Port is China's first venue to regularly host international sailing events, having hosted top-level races such as the Volvo Ocean Race and the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race.
When the sea is calm, you can lazily drift with the waves and soak your feet in the seawater for a "natural foot bath"; when the wind is right, the captain can activate the tilt acceleration mode and feel the thrill of skimming along the waves and getting wet.
Wuyuan Bay is a nature reserve for Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins. With good weather and a bit of luck, you might have the chance to witness the dolphins leaping and splashing in the water. Come and have a date with the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins!
