SINGAPORE, 16 April 2026 – With just one week to go, the Singapore Yachting Festival 2026 returns from 23 to 26 April at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, transforming the marina into one of the region’s most expansive showcases of yachting, lifestyle and entertainment.
Now in its fourth edition, the festival has evolved into a large-scale, immersive experience that extends far beyond a traditional yacht show, offering something for everyone, whether discovering yachting for the first time, exploring the lifestyle, or returning as a seasoned visitor. Across four days, visitors can marvel at world-class yachts, experience life on the water, and explore a vibrant line-up of dining, wellness and entertainment.
SYF 2026: A Floating Showcase of Design, Engineering and Opulence
At the heart of the festival is the opportunity to see the latest yachts in the region, spanning everything from accessible day boats to some of the most impressive superyachts in Asia.
For those new to boating, day cruisers offer an easy introduction. Models such as the Saxdor 340 GTWA and Saxdor 400 GTC, alongside the Galeon 440 Fly and Merry Fisher 1295 Fly, are designed for relaxed, social escapes and island hopping around Singapore’s Southern Islands.
Flybridge yachts and overnighters offer greater space and comfort for extended time on the water. The Absolute Navetta 64, Sunseeker Manhattan 68 and Azimut Fly 62 feature multiple decks, generous interiors and overnight cabins, well suited for weekend escapes and longer cruising.
For a more active experience, sailing yachts and catamarans bring a different energy. The Beneteau Oceanis 54 and Hanse 460 highlight the precision of modern sailing, while catamarans such as the Excess 13 and Lagoon 51 offer stability and space. Power catamarans including the Leopard 53PC, Aquila 54 Power Catamaran and Prestige M48 are increasingly popular for their wide, open-plan layouts and versatility.
The showcase also highlights a new generation of yachts shaping the future of marine design. Models such as the Azimut Seadeck 7 and Sunreef 60 Eco reflect a growing focus on innovation, sustainability and onboard experience.
At the pinnacle are the superyachts, where scale, craftsmanship and customisation come together. Visitors can step aboard models including the Nomad 101, alongside Sanlorenzo’s SX100. These vessels offer expansive decks, bespoke interiors and a level of detail akin to private residences.
The line-up is further strengthened by global shipbuilding brands including Azimut, Princess Yachts and Sanlorenzo, alongside Absolute Yachts, Sunseeker, Beneteau, Galeon, Lagoon, Leopard Catamarans and Sunreef Yachts. New additions include Rossinavi, the Tuscan shipyard known for its bespoke superyachts and forward-looking approach to design and sustainability, and Cristalio Yachts, making its global debut as an Indonesia-based builder of fully custom luxury yachts.
Beyond the Boats: A Festival of Lifestyle, Experience and Discovery
Beyond the yachts, the Singapore Yachting Festival has evolved into a full scale lifestyle event, bringing together on water experiences, dining, wellness and entertainment across ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove.
At the heart of the festival is the Experiential Zone, where visitors move beyond viewing into participation. From diving to snorkelling and next generation electric water sports, it offers a hands-on introduction to life on the water, set against a relaxed waterfront atmosphere with music and a bar.
For those looking to venture further, guided sea trials offer the opportunity to experience performance first hand. Selected on water experiences, including stabilisation demonstrations by Seakeeper provide further insight into onboard comfort and control.
Moments of heritage and storytelling are woven throughout the festival. Visitors are welcome to step on board Vega 1892, a 134 year old vessel still actively sailing today, and learn traditional knot tying, hear stories from its humanitarian missions and gain a deeper understanding of life at sea.
On land, the Festival Village forms a lively social hub of food and drinks, with concepts ranging from wood fired barbecue to craft cocktails, alongside NOAM Beer – the festival’s official beer partner, known for its unfiltered Bavarian lager that combines traditional brewing with a contemporary approach – and CaterFresh – offering freshly cooked BBQ chicken wings and more.
A highlight of this year’s edition is The Wellness Suite, presented in partnership with Teiāh Hospitality, a two-hour guided experience centred on recovery, detoxification and high performance well-being, offering a glimpse into the kind of programming typically reserved for life on board private superyachts. This is a ticketed experience (S$88 per person) open to all guests.
Across the marina, the festival extends into a broader celebration of luxury lifestyle. Daily supercar parades featuring marques such as Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren add to the atmosphere, while private yacht viewings offer the opportunity to step inside some of the region’s most sought after vessels.
For those seeking a more seamless experience, VIP guests have access to dedicated spaces including the VIP Lounge, presented in partnership with J.P. Morgan Private Bank, offering a relaxed setting for networking over fine wines and canapés, alongside the Superyacht Lounge, presented in partnership with Damen Yachting, for more intimate, industry led conversations.
The Spotlight Zone by Tropicana Corporation Berhad hosts a series of masterclasses and tastings, whisky heritage with Brown-Forman, alongside oyster and cheese sessions and design-led conversations with Porsche. Priority access and selected sessions are reserved for VIP ticketholders. A dedicated buggy service by Jebsen & Jessen ensures ease of movement between key areas across the marina.
As the sun sets, the energy shifts once again, with Boaters Bar coming alive to weekend DJ sets, alongside a rotating line-up of performers, from saxophonists and percussionists to LED dancers, transforming the marina into a vibrant evening destination.
