In Zhuhai Pingsha Yacht Industrial Zone, one of the largest and most spectacular factories is Sunbird Yacht (now part of Yaguang Technology Group, stock code: 300123).
The name “Sunbird” is known to almost everyone in the Chinese yachting industry. It is not only the “first stock of Chinese yachts”, but also occupies the top spot in the domestic business yacht and composite boat market share for a long time. For many first-time buyers in the yachting world, the sunbird is often the first option they can’t get around.
Enterprise status: a giant in military-civilian integration
Sunbird was founded in 2003 and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2010. Subsequently, through a reorganization with military electronics giant Yaguang Electronics, it was upgraded to Yaguang Technology Group. This background gives Sunbird a unique “military gene”.
Its Zhuhai base, Zhuhai Sunbird Yacht Manufacturing Co., Ltd., is the most important strategic fulcrum of the group in South China. It has Asia’s leading digital shipbuilding workshop and huge launching slides, with the ability to produce hundreds of large boats per year. This “large-industrialized” production model ensures extremely high delivery efficiency and quality stability of its products.
Core product: “Business Palace” on the sea
Sunbird’s product line is extremely long, covering everything from speedboats of a few meters to superyachts over 60 meters. But the most popular thing is the medium and large business yachts.
1. Phoenix series
This is Sunbird’s flagship series, tailored for the business reception needs of Oriental shipowners.
- In line with Chinese aesthetics: Unlike European and American yachts that emphasize “sunbathing” and “outdoor sports”, Sunbird’s design focuses more on spacious indoor salons, KTV entertainment systems, and luxurious mahjong rooms/tea rooms. This design concept of “maritime club” makes it the first choice for many companies to conduct high-end business negotiations.
- Atmospheric and Steady: The exterior design is usually smooth and domineering, giving people a strong visual impact, making it ideal as a business card to showcase corporate strength.
2. Catamaran
In recent years, Sunbird has made rapid progress in the field of catamarans. Taking advantage of the “wide and smooth” characteristics of catamarans, Sunbird has launched a series of catamaran business yachts. They boast a villa-like expansive deck area, greatly enhancing the comfort of living and reception.
Technological prowess: the art of mass manufacturing
Unlike small workshop-style meticulous carving, Sunbird showcases the power of modern industry.
- 5-Axis Machining Center: Sunbird’s Zhuhai base is equipped with a large-scale 5-axis linkage CNC machining center, which is rare in China, capable of directly machining oversized yacht molds. This ensures that the accuracy of the hull lines and surface finish reach the international first-line level.
- Special Boat Technology: Thanks to the background of military-civilian integration, Sunbird also has top-notch technology in the fields of high-performance law enforcement boats and unmanned boats. These hull structure technologies honed in extreme environments have been fed back into the manufacturing of civil yachts, making Sunbird’s yachts more durable and durable.
Conclusion
Sunbird Yacht is the epitome of the maturity of China’s yacht manufacturing industry.
It did not blindly pursue the Western way of life, but truly understood the needs of the Chinese market. If you need a “marine mobile living room” that can not only highlight your corporate image, but also provide top-notch business reception functions, or seek a partner with strong after-sales guarantee and brand endorsement, Sunbird (Yaguang Technology) is undoubtedly the safest choice in Zhuhai Jinwan and even the whole of China.
