This year’s Yacht Style Awards featured winners of 35 categories collecting their crystal trophies on stage at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove in Singapore.

The stunning Constellation Ballroom at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove in Singapore hosted leading luxury yacht brands from around the world for the 2026 edition of the Yacht Style Awards on April 22, ahead of the Singapore Yachting Festival (April 23-26).

Many of Asia’s luxury yachting companies and the world’s top shipyards were among winners who lifted a crystal trophy during a vibrant evening featuring about 300 guests.

At the cocktail reception, guests were photographed against a Yacht Style magazine cover and the Yacht Style Awards 2026 backdrop.

Delicacies included oysters from Archē & Ardor, while drinks included fine wines from Wine Adore, sake from Sake Taberu, and Nocturne Noir, a coffee-infused spirit.

Guests were also invited to create their own perfume at the Maison 21G Paris counter, while other event sponsors included Marine2go (online yachting marketplace), Vilebrequin (swimwear, clothing and accessories), SeaKeepers (ocean conservation non-profit), Luxuo (luxury media) and ⁠Voyager⁠, a specialist in luxury yacht, private client and corporate insurance solutions.

At the gala dinner, which included a four-course meal and entertainment from a DJ and saxophonist, the 35 awards were presented in three sections.

For each category, the nominees were announced before the winners collected their trophies on stage, where they had their photos taken and made a speech.

Gael Burlot, CEO and Publisher of Yacht Style, organiser of the Awards, said: “This was one of the liveliest and most in-demand editions of the Yacht Style Awards.

“We had an impressive guest list from around Asia and beyond, with many industry heavyweights and yacht owners in attendance. This year, there was a particularly strong Chinese participation, with over 20 representatives of mainland China’s yachting scene at the gala dinner.

“There was a high standard of nominees for each award, and we had deserving winners, although competition was close in many categories.

“Criteria for the yacht categories included innovation, design, build quality, environmental responsibility, owner experience, personal achievements and a focus on the Asia market.”

For yacht-related categories, the focus was on shipyards with representation in Asia. Models considered had a world premiere at a major boat show around the world or a leading Asia-Pacific show after last year’s Singapore Yachting Festival (April 2025). Overall lengths were used for most boat categories, except for sailboats, where hull length was used.
