Asia premieres from Azimut, Wally, Fairline, Leopard, Jeanneau and Saxdor are among the provisional line-up for this year’s Singapore Yachting Festival at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove.

This year’s Singapore Yachting Festival at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove from April 25-28 could feature about 70 yachts, according to the show’s new owner, ONE°15 Events Management. The four-day show will be preceded by the ICOMIA Boating Industry Conference (April 23-24) followed by the YACHT STYLE Awards gala dinner on the Wednesday evening (April 24), with both events also held at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove.

A subsidiary of SUTL Enterprise – owner of the ONE°15 Marina brand – ONE°15 Events Management is organising the four-day Singapore Yachting Festival and has engaged Wade Pearce of SG Marine Guide as an event consultant.

As well as an increase in yachts on the water, a notable addition to this year’s show is a ‘Lifestyle Festival’ market on land featuring pop-up F&B stalls, carnival activities, live music, roving entertainment and much more.

Arthur Tay, SUTL Enterprise’s CEO and Executive Director, said: “ONE°15’s acquisition of the Singapore Yachting Festival signifies a transformative journey towards elevating our brand influence in the marine industry. SYF positions Singapore prominently on the global yachting calendar, reinforcing our marina’s standing as a premier destination. Most importantly, it drives substantial economic benefits for the local marine industry and government stakeholders.”

In the same way the event has had a change behind the scenes, it will be a showcase for many dealers publicising new additions and notable changes to their yacht portfolio. Following the completion of its acquisition by Sanlorenzo, Simpson Marine will continue to display Sanlorenzo, Bluegame and Fairline models, while Nautor Swan is set to join a portfolio that no longer includes Lagoon, Beneteau and Aquila.

Aquila 54 Yacht

Marine Italia, a multi-market Azimut dealer, will exhibit an Aquila 54 Yacht following the company’s new representation of the powercat brand in Singapore and Hong Kong, while Asiamarine was recently appointed as the Lagoon dealer in both markets as well as Thailand, and representative for Beneteau’s sailing yachts in Hong Kong.

Aquitalia 68

Aquitalia Yachts will make its Singapore debut with the Aquitalia 68 following the appointment of Raffles Yacht as its regional representative, while Saxdor’s new Asia-Pacific dealer, DCH Marine, will publicise its appointment with the Asia debut of the brand’s flagship 400 GTO along with a 270 GTO.

The show’s largest yacht could be the 55.7m Galileo, a steel hull and aluminium expedition yacht built by Perini Navi and exhibited by IYC.

Silentworld

The show will include several superyachts including the 40m Silentworld charter yacht exhibited by Iseo Yachting, the new Hong Kong-based company founded by Adam Blackmore and Bryan Tse. Others include the 36m Azimut Hye Seas 2 by ONE°15 Charters Luxury Yachting.

Simpson Marine’s provisional line-up includes Sanlorenzo SD118, SL96A and SX88 superyachts, plus Bluegame’s flagship BGX73 and a BG42, which are both Southeast Asia premieres. Asia’s largest yacht dealer is also staging the Asia premiere of Fairline’s two-balcony Squadron 58, which had its world premiere last September.

Sanlorenzo SL96A

Richard Allen, Simpson Marine’s COO, said: “In light of our recent acquisition by Sanlorenzo, our fleet will be more curated, highlighting larger vessels. Furthermore, representatives from Simpson Superyachts, Simpson Yacht Charter and our comprehensive range of yachting services including brokerage, management and registry will be on-site to provide advice.”

Wally wallywhy200

Wally’s 89ft wallywhy200 ‘spaceship’ and the wallypower58 will both make Asia-Pacific premieres, while Ferretti Group Asia-Pacific and dealer Hong Seh Yachting will also show a Ferretti Yachts 780 and stage the Singapore debut of the Rivamare, the elegant 39-footer from Riva’s Open line.
