What's in a Name?

One of the first questions we are always asked is: 'Where did the name 'Smoke Dragon' come from?

In fact, this is the fourth vessel to carry the 'Smoke Dragon' name in over twenty years. The name reflects the Owner's love of London, 'the Smoke'; and a thirty-year love affair with Hong Kong, 'the Dragon'.

It is also the title of one of a trilogy of stunning novels by Tom Barling which can be found in the ship's library!

As experienced Charter Operators the Owners have enjoyed clients ranging from the Jordanian Royal Family to Spanish nobility to international financiers and business leaders. The majority of these clients came back year after year. 

Our formula is simple - provide the highest quality professional service at a reasonable price and with the utmost courtesy. To this end 'Smoke Dragon' retains permanent qualified crew and a Cordon Bleu Chef on an 'as required' basis.

'Smoke Dragon' at it's base in the Portland Marina, Weymouth Bay, adjacent to the National Sailing Academy, site of the sailing events in the 2012 Olympics. Use the 'Olympics' button for more information on charter and corporate sponsorship.
