According to Li Chunqiang, chairman of the club, the club has world-class hardware facilities and a professional management team. It will bring a new fashionable lifestyle to Haikou and offer a distinctive social platform for all walks of life.

Liu Xiaotao, deputy director of the Coast Defense and Port Office of Hainan Province, said that the Huacai Jetpon Marina Club, with its integration of exhibitions, sales, services, exchanges and leisure will help build a yacht model brand in Haikou and promote mass consumption in the yacht industry. It is expected to become a pilot base for the reform, development and innovation of Hainan's yacht industry and a first-class tourist destination that can facilitate the construction of the pilot free trade zone and the free trade port of the island province.

Hainan has taken the lead in offering policy support for the development of the yacht industry among domestic provinces. At present, it has 14 yacht marinas with over 1,800 berths, which are mainly distributed in Haikou, Sanya and Lingshui. Some 1,900 berths are under construction. It also has more than 40 yacht clubs and about 500 related companies.
