❤️ A Personal Story

The Hong Kong Container Port Tours have always been run by the family behind HK Yachting. Created and operated for years by James Hargraves, the tours became a local favourite until his tragic passing in 2020. His wife, Jessica Hargraves, returns to Hong Kong to continue the tours and share his legacy. They are only run when she visits so get booked in when you see new dates pop up.

Jessica, an Australian sailor with over 15 years of experience in Hong Kong, helped bring the yachts Jungle Jane and Tarzan here from Australia. Today, she carries on James’s vision — offering guests not just a tour, but a deeply personal and unforgettable insight into Hong Kong’s maritime world.
