Location & How to Get There

Jiepeng Yacht & Sailing Cruise is nestled in Xiamen’s Xiangshan International Yacht Marina, located at 3009 Huandao East Road, Siming District. This spot hugs the coastline of Xiamen Island, one of China’s most scenic cities. To reach it, you can take BRT Line 1 or Bus 87A to Huandao East Road Station, then walk 10 minutes. If you’re staying in Gulangyu Island, a 20-minute taxi ride will drop you right at the marina. The area feels remote enough to escape crowds but stays connected to Xiamen’s buzzing city life.

Natural Scenery: Ocean Meets Sky

At Jiepeng Yacht & Sailing Cruise, the real star is Xiamen’s azure waters. The marina sits where the Yudang Lagoon meets the Taiwan Strait, offering postcard-worthy views of rocky shorelines, green-topped islets, and sunsets that paint the sky pink and gold. On clear days, you might spot dolphins playing near the bow of your sailboat. The sea breeze here is refreshing—perfect for escaping summer heat or winter chills.

Cultural Touches: Life by the Sea

Xiamen’s connection to the ocean runs deep, and Jiepeng Yacht & Sailing Cruise lets you dive into this lifestyle. Local fishermen still anchor their boats nearby, and you’ll often see traditional wooden fishing ships alongside modern yachts. Try chatting with the crew—they might share stories about ancient trade routes that once passed through these waters. For a cultural twist, ask about nighttime sailing trips when the marina lights reflect on the water like fireflies.

Practical Perks: Comfort Meets Adventure

Even beginners feel at ease at Jiepeng Yacht & Sailing Cruise. The marina has a cafe with floor-to-ceiling windows where you can watch sailboats drift in while sipping coffee. Gear rentals (life jackets, waterproof bags) are included, and staff offer quick “sailing 101” lessons. Fancy a break? The shaded lounge area lets you relax between trips. For food, nearby Wuyuan Bay has seafood stalls serving fresh oyster omelets and stir-fried clams—trust me, it’s worth it!

The Thrill of Sailing: What to Expect

Booking a trip with Jiepeng Yacht & Sailing Cruise isn’t just about sightseeing—it’s about feeling the rush of steering a sailboat. You can choose between glass-bottom yachts for a calm cruise or speedboats for an adrenaline kick. During golden hour, the crew often stops the boat so guests can snap photos of the sun dipping below the horizon. If you’re lucky, they’ll let you take the wheel—channel your inner pirate (or captain)!

Insider Tips: Make the Most of It

  • Best time to visit? Early morning or late afternoon. The light is softer, and the sea is calmer.
  • Family-friendly? Absolutely. Kids love spotting fish through the glass-bottom boats.
  • Romantic vibes? Book a private sunset sail. Bring a picnic (the staff can help arrange it).
  • Hidden gem: Ask about the secret beach near the marina, accessible only by boat. It’s quiet and perfect for a swim.

Whether you’re a sailor or a landlubber, Jiepeng Yacht & Sailing Cruise turns Xiamen’s coastline into an adventure. Pack sunscreen, bring curiosity, and prepare for memories that’ll make you want to return!
