Damen Yachting will exhibit an Amels 60 and return as sponsor of the show’s Superyacht Lounge for a third year.
Damen Yachting has confirmed it will exhibit a Amels 60 superyacht, the blue-hulled 21.12, at the fifth Singapore Yachting Festival, which will be held at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove from April 22-25, 2027. Damen Yachting will also return as sponsor of the show’s Superyacht Lounge for a third consecutive year.
Unless a bigger yacht is confirmed for the 2027 edition, the 197ft-long Amels 60 will be the largest vessel displayed at the Singapore Yachting Festival since the show was inaugurated in 2023.
Featuring exterior design by Espen Øino, the Amels 60 is a Limited Editions model, with hull one delivered in 2022. Order six, 21.12, was delivered in late 2024, while deliveries are already up to hull nine, which was handed over to her owner earlier this year. The Amels 80 is a more recent Limited Editions model, with the first hull delivered in late 2025 and seven units already sold.
Sarah Flavell, Damen Yachting’s Marketing Director, said: “Being able to grow our role at Singapore Yachting Festival from supporter to contributor is a great honour, and we are delighted to be bringing the Amels 60 21.12 to Singapore in 2027. Showcasing an Amels lets us show what larger yacht ownership with European-build DNA really means, to clients, family offices and the wider regional community.
“It also reflects something we are seeing across our portfolio: more owners are choosing to cruise further afield than the usual Mediterranean and Caribbean seasons. For us, 2027 brings together everything we have worked towards over the last few years, and we hope it sets the tone for what’s to come.”
The Damen Yachting-sponsored Superyacht Lounge will again offer a dedicated platform connecting the international superyacht industry with the region’s growing community of owners, prospective buyers and industry professionals.
“Asia has been part of Damen Yachting’s story for a long time, through our clients, the wider network of the Damen Shipyards Group and our presence at shows before 2020,” Flavell added.
“The past three years have been about rebuilding that foundation with real purpose. Developing the market in Southeast Asia, and across Asia-Pacific more widely, is an important part of our long-term business strategy, and it builds on the legacy we already have here.”
In 2027, the Superyacht Lounge will feature a refreshed layout designed to provide “a conducive and intimate setting for the yachting community”. It will also broaden its reach beyond yacht ownership, bringing together leading refit shipyards, yacht management companies, brokers, family offices and influential decision-makers from across the region.
The expanded programme will feature private networking opportunities and exclusive hospitality experiences, creating valuable opportunities for commercial collaboration while reinforcing Southeast Asia’s strategic importance for superyacht services, refit and industry connections across Asia-Pacific.
As well as Damen Yachting, other superyacht builders with a strong presence at the Singapore Yachting Festival have included Baglietto, in partnership with Fraser, and Rossinavi, in collaboration with Camper & Nicholsons.
Jonathan Sit, Singapore Yachting Festival’s Show Director, said: “The presence of Damen and Amels demonstrates how the show is evolving.
“We are also seeing increasing interest from leading custom superyacht builders, having welcomed Rossinavi and Baglietto for the first time in 2026. Their participation reflects the growing recognition of Singapore as an important destination for the global superyacht industry.”
