Singapore Yachting Festival Set to Shine

Azimut-Benetti CEO Marco Valle and Gulf Craft Chairman Mohammed Alshaali are among speakers at this year’s Southeast Asia Yachting Conference (April 8-9), which will be followed by the Yacht Style Awards gala dinner (9 April) in a busy lead-in to the third Singapore Yachting Festival.

The 56m Charley 2 powercat, built by Australia’s Echo Yachts and based in Singapore, is set to be the largest vessel at the four-day show, which will be held at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove from April 10-13. Charley 2 is expected to be among about a dozen or so regional premieres, while organisers expect to announce two additional 40m-plus superyachts ahead of the event.

Among superyacht brokerage houses, Camper & Nicholsons will exhibit the Azimut 116 Hye Seas II, and a 26m Ferretti Yachts model, with the Horizon FD90 Tyee available for viewings.

Azimut models displayed by dealer Marine Italia include the Seadeck 7’s Asia-Pacific premiere, as well as the Grande Trideck (125ft), Magellano 60 and Fly 53, while other Italian yachts include Absolute’s 52 Fly. Marine Italia is also showing the Aquila 50 Yacht, part of a strong line-up of catamarans at the event.

Simpson Marine’s display includes Sanlorenzo’s SL96A asymmetric planing yacht, SD96 semi-displacement model and SX88 crossover yacht, along with Bluegame’s BGX73 and its BGM75, the brand’s first multihull motoryacht, making its Asia-Pacific debut.

The regional dealer also represents Axopar in Hong Kong, mainland China and Indonesia, and its display will include the Finnish brand’s flagship 45 Cross Cabin.

Ferretti Group is staging the Asia-Pacific premiere of Wally’s spaceship-like wallywhy150 (79ft) along with a Ferretti Yachts 780 and a Rivamare (39ft) from Riva’s Open series. Hong Seh Marine is exhibiting a Boston Whaler 285.

Boat Lagoon Yachting, the Southeast Asia dealer for Princess since 1994, will show the British builder’s Y95, Y85, Y75, F65 and F55 flybridge motoryachts along with Jeanneau’s Merry Fisher 1295 Fly. Sunseeker will host the Asia-Pacific premiere of its 90 Ocean alongside a Manhattan 68 in a collaboration with DCH Marine, which will also show Saxdor’s 400 GTC, 320 GTO and 270 GTO.

Gulf Craft models include the Asia debuts of the Nomad 101 and Nomad 70, as well as a Majesty 62, all shown with dealer Magsubsea, which will also display Silent Yachts’ SY62 solar-electric power catamaran. De Antonio’s D50 Coupe motoryacht will be exhibited by Flow Yacht Club.

Derani Yachts will show Greenline’s 48 Fly and Greenline 45 Fly (Hybrid) flybridge motoryachts, Axopar’s 37 Sun Top and its new 29 Cross Cabin, as well as a Selene 62 Ocean Explorer brokerage yacht.

In a strong show for multihulls, Leopard will again have a formidable display, including all three of the brand’s powercats – 53PC, 46PC and 40PC – while efforts are being made to stage the Asia-Pacific premiere of the Leopard 46 sailing catamaran.

Among sailing cats, Seawind is staging the global debut of the 1160XL, the solar-electric Sunreef 60 Eco will be making its Asia-Pacific premiere, and Fountaine Pajot’s Alegria 67 and Elba 45 will be shown by regional dealer The Yacht Sales Co. The Sky Walker S60, shown by Fantasea Ocean, and Rapido’s R500 Eco Power Cat are among powercats.

A Hanse 460 is the show’s only sailing monohull confirmed to date, the Noordic 28 by UX Marine is among electric motorboats, while water toy demonstrations will also be a highlight of the on-water activity.

On land, the show will include luxury car displays featuring the likes of McLaren, Porsche, Lamborghini and Ferrari, as well as an exclusive Aston Martin showcase. The Festival Market has been expanded to feature a wider range of alfresco food and beverage stalls, as well as lifestyle merchants. 

The new Superyacht Lounge is sponsored by Damen Yachting and supported by Rolls-Royce and Sevenstar Yacht Transport, while the VIP Lounge offers an exclusive environment for luxury lifestyle enthusiasts and industry leaders.
