THE WAY<br />
OF THE<br />
WATER<br />
The Jackie Chan most of the world knows<br />
is the man of thrilling stunts and hilarious<br />
movie moments. Yet there’s another side to<br />
him: one who holds a deep appreciation for<br />
the ocean and its luxury yachts<br />
Words: PAUL DARGAN<br />
The open waters stand as an escape – a<br />
refuge from the humdrum of daily life.<br />
For the elite, those acclaimed stars<br />
of the screen and titans of industry,<br />
this lure often culminates in the acquisition of<br />
personal yachts. These are not mere vessels;<br />
they are floating sanctuaries, a far cry from<br />
the ever-prying eyes of fans and media.<br />
Stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Nicole<br />
Kidman, amongst others from the showbiz<br />
realm, have long harboured love for these<br />
majestic sea vessels. Such opulence is not just<br />
about showcasing wealth but about carving<br />
out a private niche in an otherwise public life.<br />
Away from the camera’s glare, aboard these<br />
yachts, they find solitude, reflection and<br />
perhaps a connection to something larger<br />
than themselves.<br />
Hong Kong global superstar Jackie Chan is part<br />
of that exclusive club and his recent passion<br />
project, the 46m superyacht, Jinlong 4601,<br />
brings to the fore this allure.<br />
“My fascination with yachts and the open sea<br />
began quite some time ago,” the star, 70 this<br />
year, admits.<br />
“After spending hectic days on sets, I longed<br />
for solitude and peace. The ocean, with its<br />
vastness and mystery, offered that escape.<br />
And yachts? Well, they’re the perfect vessels<br />
to explore that expanse, aren’t they.”<br />
Conceived in October 2017 and meticulously<br />
crafted at the Huludao Yacht Industry Park<br />
facility, it was the culmination of an alliance<br />
between Dutch studio Mulder Design and the<br />
Chinese shipyard Jinlong, resulting in a marvel<br />
of maritime craftsmanship.<br />
Chan beamed as he spoke about it: “It’s my pride<br />
and joy! Collaborating with Mulder Design and<br />
Jinlong was a dream. This yacht isn’t just about<br />
extravagance – it’s a reflection of my journey.<br />
“It’s spacious, speedy and has some of my<br />
personal touches. The Jinlong 4601 journey<br />
through the city streets before its sea launch<br />
was definitely a memorable spectacle, as well.”<br />
