Singapore Yachting Festival 2026 Marina Showcase

Singapore Yachting Festival 2026 opened on April 23 at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, turning the Singapore marina into a four-day showcase of yachts, sea trials and waterfront programming. (singaporeyachtingfestival.com) (sentosa.com.sg) The festival runs through April 26, with public opening hours set at 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. from Thursday to Saturday and 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday. (singaporeyachtingfestival.com) Organisers said the 2026 edition is the event’s largest yet, with more than 70 yachts and over 200 international and regional brands on site. Confirmed exhibitors include Azimut Yachts, Boat Lagoon Yachting, DCH Marine, Ferretti Group, Leopard Catamarans and Simpson Marine. (singaporeyachtingfestival.com) (expatliving.sg) This is the festival’s fourth edition, and the 2026 program adds a dedicated wellness segment, a new Spotlight Zone, and a brand-new on-water Superyacht Lounge for industry leaders and VIP guests. (singaporeyachtingfestival.com 1) (singaporeyachtingfestival.com 2) The event is structured as more than a static boat show. Sentosa’s event listing says visitors can expect yacht displays, Asia premieres, gourmet tastings, live entertainment and on-water demonstrations across the marina. (sentosa.com.sg) The published show materials also list scheduled joy rides, daily entertainment sets, a festival market, Boaters Bar programming and VIP lounge access points around the site. (singaporeyachtingfestival.com) Singapore Yachting Festival is being used as a regional industry platform as well as a consumer event. The Southeast Asia Yachting Conference was scheduled for April 21 and 22 ahead of the show, with sessions on investment, marinas, boat sales and superyachts. (singaporeyachtingfestival.com) The backdrop is a bigger push by organisers to position Singapore as a gateway for Asia’s leisure marine business. Show director Jonathan Sit said earlier this month that stronger participation in 2026 showed Asia remained a key area of interest for the global yachting industry. (singaporeyachtingfestival.com 1) (singaporeyachtingfestival.com 2) That pitch builds on last year’s numbers. Organisers said the 2025 festival drew more than 12,000 visitors, featured 70 yachts, included 10 premieres and displayed 15 yachts longer than 24 metres.
