New digital video show, Yacht Life, Love the Ocean ®  游艇生活 热爱海洋 ”introduces luxury yachting culture and ocean preservation to China.

House Films, the Co. which produced the first Chinese reality show in the US “Quest USA 大挑战”and the first international reality show in China “Quest China 大挑战” starts production on a new digital lifestyle show “Yacht Life, Love the Ocean ®” introducing yachting culture to China’s upscale and HNW viewers who have followed their content about food, wine and luxury lifestyle over the years. In addition to featuring luxury yachting culture, the show will highlight the importance of preserving our ocean ecosystem, an important message to all their viewers in China.

Ric DiIanni, Executive Producer at House Films®, said, “With the second biggest economy in the world, China produces 2 new billionaire families per month, yet yachting culture has not taken hold in the way most predicted it would.  We’re excited to be able to show our upscale and HNW Chinese fans what yachting is all about. It’s not about status, but about the freedom to go to the most beautiful places in the world, surrounded by the people you love to be with.”

Producer/host Sarah Zhang 张晓文  wants to raise awareness of the importance of the oceans to our survival on the planet and will highlight that by featuring organizations working to preserve the oceans. Sarah says, “It’s important that we raise awareness of these issues in China among consumers, as no efforts to protect our oceans will be successful without China on board.”
