The fourth edition of the Singapore Yachting Festival runs across four days, from 23 to 26 April 2026, at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove. Since its debut, the event has grown into one of Asia's most significant on-water gatherings, bringing together international yacht brands and a broad cross-section of the marine lifestyle industry.
More than 70 vessels are expected on show, covering a wide range of types and sizes. The floating display takes in day boats, flybridge cruisers, sailing yachts, catamarans, and production superyachts, giving visitors the chance to step aboard a genuinely varied fleet without straying from the marina's berths.
The 2026 programme reflects a deliberate push to engage audiences beyond the core boating community. A dedicated Spotlight Zone will host masterclasses and talks covering wine, whisky, design, and culinary experiences. A new wellness segment has also been added, introducing guided sessions focused on performance, recovery, and wellbeing.
Out on the water, sea trials and water toy demonstrations give visitors hands-on access to emerging marine technology. The experiential zone includes electric foiling, paddleboarding, and fishing gear demonstrations, making the active side of the event as compelling as the static display.
The festival extends well beyond the waterfront. Supercar displays, food and beverage offerings, and family-friendly attractions cement its credentials as a lifestyle event in the broadest sense. VIP guests can expect dedicated lounges, premium hospitality, and networking opportunities across all four days. Organisers are forecasting attendance of more than 13,000 visitors, a figure that reinforces Singapore's standing as the regional hub for the boating market.
The on-water fleet remains the event's strongest drawcard. Few gatherings anywhere in the region can match the variety of yachts on display, ranging from compact day boats built for island-hopping and short coastal runs to full-scale superyachts from leading international builders.
Towards the accessible end of the market, the Asia premiere of the Saxdor 340 GTWA headlines the segment, accompanied by proven platforms such as the Galeon 440 Fly and the Merry Fisher 1295 Fly. Flybridge models continue to set the tone across the marina, with the Absolute Navetta 64, Sunseeker Manhattan 68, and Azimut Fly 62 among those expected to draw considerable attention.
Sailing is well represented, with the Beneteau Oceanis 54 and Hanse 460 giving cruising sailors the opportunity to compare options in one place. The catamaran segment, spanning both sail and power configurations, is another pronounced feature of this year's fleet. The Excess 13 and Lagoon 51 represent the sailing side, while the Prestige M48 and Leopard 53 make the case for power catamarans.
Several models on show point clearly to where modern yacht design is heading, pairing fresh interior layouts with evolving onboard systems. Both the Azimut Seadeck 7 and Princess X80 sit firmly in this forward-looking category.
At the top of the fleet, the scale steps up considerably. Production superyachts including the Princess Y95 and Nomad 101 will be on display alongside larger builds from Sanlorenzo, rounding out a line-up that reflects both the breadth of the current market and the ambitions driving it forward.
