臺南市觀旅局以亞果台南安平遊艇碼頭為中心，結合在地文化、演唱會以及遊艇觀光資源，打造遊艇旅遊新風貌。觀旅局特別攜手知名市集品牌La Rue文創設計舉辦海洋特色市集，，鼓勵民眾親近海洋、擁抱海洋，認識台南的海洋文化。此外，為推廣遊艇觀光，觀旅局特別安排遊艇體驗活動，讓民眾親自登船參觀，欣賞遊艇內部的裝潢設計與港濱風情，親自感受遊艇的迷人魅力。此外，觀旅局也提前開放民眾報名參加遊艇繞港活動，讓船長帶領你駛入海洋，體驗乘風破浪的快感。

The Tainan City Tourism Bureau, centered around the Anping Yacht Pier in Agong Tainan, combines local culture, concerts, and yacht tourism resources to create a new style of yacht travel. The Tourism Bureau collaborates with the well-known market brand La Rue Creative Design to organize a marine-themed market, encouraging people to get closer to the ocean, embrace it, and learn about Tainan’s maritime culture.

Additionally, to promote yacht tourism, the Tourism Bureau arranges yacht experience activities, allowing people to personally board and explore, appreciate the interior design of the yachts, and experience the charming allure of yachting. Furthermore, the Tourism Bureau is also opening early registration for people to participate in yacht harbor tours, where captains will lead you into the sea to experience the thrill of sailing.

落實向海洋致敬的重要政策是台南觀旅局未來的發展重點之一，對此，觀旅局會扮演總舵手角色，建構更完整的台南海洋遊憩產業政策。期許未來透過產官學三方攜手合作，結合台南豐富的海洋資源，共創永續及友善的遊艇發展環境。

The important policy of paying tribute to the ocean is one of the future development focuses of the Tainan City Tourism Bureau. In this regard, the Tourism Bureau will play the role of the captain, constructing a more comprehensive policy for Tainan’s maritime recreational industry.

It is hoped that in the future, through collaboration between the government, industry, and academia, and by harnessing Tainan’s abundant maritime resources, a sustainable and yacht-friendly development environment will be created.

為了響應觀旅局對於海洋活動的支持，位於台南安平的樂活海洋學院特別藉由這次機會捐贈一艘帆船「樂活號」給南台科技大學，搭起海洋休憩產業產學合作的橋梁。未來，南台科技大學計畫籌辦海洋休閒系所，將海洋教育向下紮根，培養專業人才進入海洋遊憩產業，為未來台南海洋遊憩產業發展的奠定基礎。

In response to the Tourism Bureau’s support for marine activities, the Le-Hua Marine Academy located in Anping, Tainan, has taken this opportunity to donate a sailboat, the “Le-Hua Hao” to Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology, bridging the gap between the maritime recreational industry and academia.

In the future, Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology plans to establish a marine leisure department, grounding marine education and nurturing professionals to enter the maritime recreational industry, laying the foundation for the future development of Tainan’s maritime recreational industry.

在黃偉哲市長的見證之下，樂活海洋學院董事長侯佑霖將乘載著海洋教育理念的帆船捐贈給南臺科技大學副校長張瑞星，象徵雙方展開合作的契機。未來，雙方將繼續深化在地海洋觀光的產業基礎與連結，共同為台南的海洋遊憩產業努力。期許未來透過產官學三方攜手合作，共創永續及友善的遊艇發展環境，逐步將台南打造成世界級的遊艇灣區，共築航海夢想，讓台南海洋遊憩產業迎向光明的未來。 

In the presence of Mayor Huang Wei-Che, Chairman Hou You-Lin of the Le-Hua Marine Academy donated a sailboat carrying the concept of marine education to Vice President Zhang Rui-Xing of Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology, symbolizing the beginning of cooperation between the two parties. In the future, both sides will continue to deepen the industry foundation and connections in local maritime tourism, working together to promote Tainan’s maritime recreational industry.

It is hoped that through collaboration between the government, industry, and academia, a sustainable and yacht-friendly development environment will be created. Gradually, Tainan will be transformed into a world-class yacht bay area, building maritime dreams and ushering in a bright future for the maritime recreational industry in Tainan.

臺南市長黃偉哲表示，本次活動為安平帶來全新的遊艇休憩產業與商機，希望未來能持續舉辦海洋相關的活動，推廣台南海洋之美。市府團隊將會扮演好舵手的角色，全力支持與配合，也會借助中央交通部和港務公司的政策力量加速前進，期盼安平遊艇碼頭會成為臺南觀光的新亮點。未來安平碼頭若發展起來，對於帶動地方經濟、增加就業機會以及開拓觀光發展，都會有非常正面加分的效果。 

Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-Che expressed that this event brings a fresh opportunity for yacht leisure industry and business prospects to Anping. He hopes to continue organizing marine-related activities in the future to promote the beauty of Tainan’s maritime resources. The city government team will play the role of a capable captain, providing full support and cooperation.

They will also leverage the policy support from the central Ministry of Transportation and Port Authority to accelerate progress, with the expectation that Anping Yacht Pier will become a new highlight in Tainan tourism. If the development of Anping Pier progresses, it will have a highly positive impact on boosting the local economy, creating job opportunities, and expanding tourism development.

臺南市觀旅局長林國華表示，本次遊艇生活節活動結合海洋教育、遊艇觀光以及文化活動辦理，希望透過相關遊憩體驗活動，讓台南市民能夠認識海洋、親近海洋、愛上海洋。未來，觀旅局將持續推動海洋系列活動，讓台南成為台灣海洋觀光的重鎮，本次活動也是為了明年的台南400盛典拉開序幕。 

Tainan City Tourism Bureau Director Lin Guo-Hua stated that the Yacht Lifestyle Festival combines marine education, yacht tourism, and cultural activities. The goal is to allow the residents of Tainan to get to know the ocean, get close to it, and fall in love with it through various recreational experiences.

In the future, the Tourism Bureau will continue to promote a series of marine-related activities, aiming to make Tainan a prominent hub for marine tourism in Taiwan. This event also marks the beginning of preparations for next year’s Tainan 400th-anniversary celebration.

臺南市觀旅局長林國華指出，遊艇向來被大眾認為是「昂貴」、「高端」的休閒活動，然而，近年來海上遊艇遊憩活動愈來愈受歡迎，且相關產業愈來愈受到政府重視。台南安平碼頭景色迷人、水質靜穩、潮差小，是相當優質的遊艇碼頭環境。在亞果集團的規劃與耕耘之下，可望在未來成為南臺灣海洋休閒活動的重鎮，吸引各地的遊客到此感受海洋府城的魅力。

Tainan City Tourism Bureau Director Lin Guo-Hua pointed out that yachting has traditionally been perceived as an “expensive” and “high-end” leisure activity. However, in recent years, maritime yacht recreation has been gaining popularity, and related industries have received increasing attention from the government.

Tainan’s Anping Pier boasts captivating scenery, calm waters, and minimal tidal changes, making it an excellent location for yacht activities. With the planning and efforts of the Agong Group, it is expected to become a key hub for marine leisure activities in southern Taiwan in the future, attracting visitors from all over to experience the charm of the maritime city of Tainan.
