Luxury 'superyacht' for HK$58,000 a night: Inside Hong Kong's most expensive Airbnb
Around the world, Airbnb has become an increasingly popular way to explore foreign cities, travel around a foreign country or even just get away for the weekend.
The online accommodation website forms a significant segment of Hong Kong’s burgeoning “sharing economy’’ but the fact that - technically - anyone who offers a sleeping space for less than 28 days without a license could face a HK$200,000 fine under SAR laws hasn’t stopped more than 1,000 locals putting their houses up for rent to strangers.
It can be cheaper than a hotel – or you could just spend HK$58,000 for a night aboard a Hong Kong ‘superyacht’.

Currently, Hong Kong’s most expensive Airbnb experience, it can hold up to six guests in its three bedrooms – one master, one guest room and one ‘VIP room’. It even has an on-deck cinema.
Measuring a modest 24 metres in length and only built in 2013, it also has three bathrooms, a kitchen and a staff of three crew members who come with the boat. Navigation is optional, at an extra HK$10,000.
The boat is located in Hong Kong’s southern district, near Stanley and Ocean Park, and renters will be picked up by a dinghy from Deep Water Bay.
