The Singapore Yachting Festival returns to ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove from April 23 to 26, 2026, with Sunseeker International bringing its Manhattan range to what has become Asia’s most prominent marine showcase.
Sunseeker will exhibit the Manhattan 55 and Manhattan 68 at the festival, giving Asia Pacific buyers their first opportunity to inspect both models in person without travelling to Europe. For many regional clients, boat shows in Cannes, Monaco and Southampton remain out of reach, and Singapore has established itself as the practical alternative for viewing premium and superyacht-class vessels.
Scale and Scope
The 2026 edition is expected to draw more than 13,000 visitors across the four days, with over 90 vessels and 200 brands exhibiting across on-water berths, floating exhibition booths and a dedicated onshore pavilion. J.P. Morgan Private Bank returns as a sponsor, reflecting the event’s position as a serious platform for high-net-worth buyer engagement rather than a pure consumer show.
Damen Yachting holds the exclusive flagship sponsorship of the Superyacht Lounge Pavilion and will present its Amels 60 and Amels 80 Limited Editions alongside Xplorer expedition yachts and Yacht Support vessels. The Dutch builder describes Singapore as a market that is growing but still requires investment to realise its full potential as a superyacht cruising destination.
SEA Yachting Conference
The Southeast Asia Yachting Conference runs as a two-day precursor on April 21 and 22 at Sentosa Cove. The industry platform brings together marina operators, yacht builders, charter companies, shipyards, service providers and government representatives from across the ASEAN region to discuss market conditions, infrastructure, regulation and future development. A session programme focused on sustainable growth and cross-border regulatory alignment is planned.
