Following on from this year’s Southeast Asia Yachting Conference and Yacht Style Awards, the fourth Singapore Yachting Festival will crown a hectic six-day calendar at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove in late April.

Organisers expect more than 70 boats in the water at the April 23-26 show, with over 50 berths booked two months ahead as the region’s leading dealerships and shipyard representatives firmed up their displays.

Closer to the show’s start date, superyachts are expected to be confirmed by international brokerage houses with staff and offices in the region.

Boat Lagoon Yachting will again be exhibiting by the marina’s main entrance and should again offer visitors a powerful first impression of the four-day show.

Southeast Asia’s largest dealership plans to exhibit a Princess Y95 – the British shipyard’s current ‘joint-flagship’ – alongside a Princess X80 and Princess F65, as well as a Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1295 Fly.

At the other end of Dock E, Sanlorenzo Asia-Pacific and Simpson Marine – who have offices on Quayside Isle, overlooking the show’s in-water exhibition area – expect to again display multiple Sanlorenzo and Bluegame motoryachts. Their provisional line-up included a Sanlorenzo SD118, the second-largest model in the Italian shipyard’s semi-displacement series, as well as a Sanlorenzo SX100 and Bluegame’s BGX60.

Azimut is set to have a strong presence with a Seadeck 7 (71ft), Fly 62 and Magellano 60 exhibited by Marine Italia Asia, the Italian shipyard’s dealer in Hong Kong, Macau, southern China, Taiwan and Singapore.

The show’s strong ‘Made in Italy’ presence continues with inland builder Absolute, whose display could include a Navetta 64, Navetta 53 and Navetta 52.

Gulf Craft Group, led by CEO Erwin Bamps, plans to have an on-water stand alongside an in-water display led in size by one or two Nomad yachts from 70-101ft and potentially including models from the UAE shipyard’s Majesty, Oryx and SilverCat brands.

Sunreef Yachts hopes to display one of its luxury sailing catamarans, either a 60 or 80, as the Poland-based shipyard with an additional production facility in the UAE continues to promote its semi-custom multihulls in Asia.

From UK, Sunseeker’s presence could be fronted by a Manhattan 68 and Manhattan 55, displayed by DCH Marine.

The fast-growing Asia-Pacific dealership also represents Saxdor, with the Finnish brand’s boats set to include the Asia premiere of the 340 GTWA walkaround along with the enclosed 400 GTC and open 320 GTO.

Asiamarine, another thriving regional dealership, is set to have a wide style of boats, potentially ranging from a Galeon 440 Fly motoryacht to a Beneteau Oceanis Yacht 54 sailing monohull and a Lagoon 51 sailing catamaran.

Leopard Catamarans could host up to three Asia premieres, with the brand staging the continental debut of the 2026 edition of its flagship 53 Powercat, which features a host of upgrades including the aft cockpit’s new ‘Alfresco’ modular furniture option.

Depending on shipping, the Leopard line-up could also include the Leopard 46 and 52 sailing catamarans, which would both also be Asia debuts.

Aquila will boost the show’s powercat presence, with Thailand-based dealer Primus Marine planning to exhibit the brand’s 54 Yacht and 42 Yacht flybridge inboard models, as well as a 42 Coupe outboard cruiser, having staged the latter’s Asia debut in Phuket earlier this year.

An Excess 13 could also be among new models at the show, just a year after the model’s world premiere in France. The sailing catamaran is set to be exhibited by Pro Sail Asia, the new Singapore dealer for Excess, in cooperation with Primus Marine, the French brand’s Thailand dealer.

A Prestige M48 multihull motoryacht will be displayed by Asia Yachting, while a Greenline 45 Fly (hybrid), Greenline 48 Fly (diesel) and an Axopar 37 will be exhibited by Derani Yachts.

UX Marine – with two of its three owners based in Singapore – will again exhibit and showcase models from its Noordic line of dayboats. Oceanwalker is returning as an exhibitor, while fellow Chinese shipyard Moon Ocean is set to make its Singapore debut.

On land, JP Morgan Private Bank is back as the Official Bank Partner of the show, while Damen Yachting reaffirms its support as a major sponsor and again presents the Superyacht Lounge, following the Dutch superyacht builder’s positive experience last year.

New features this year include an invitation-only VIP experience, with buyers invited to exclusive VIP luncheons and cocktail receptions aboard a superyacht, where they will network with ultra-high-net-worth guests and enjoy bespoke culinary presentations by private chefs.
