This ensures exhibitors get year-round visibility and deeper client engagement, rather than relying only on the four festival days.
When people think of the world’s leading yachting events, places like Monaco, Cannes, or Fort Lauderdale often come to mind. But in 2026, all eyes will turn east. The Singapore Yachting Festival (SYF), returning from 23–26 April 2026 at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, is shaping up to be the business powerhouse of Asia’s marine industry.
The Asia-Pacific market is no longer just “emerging.” It’s commanding attention. Yacht manufacturers from Europe and the US now see Singapore not simply as a stop on the map, but as a strategic buying hub that connects them with investors, dealers, and owners across the region.
For many Asian buyers, SYF is the only chance to explore the world’s latest vessels without flying halfway across the globe. That unique positioning makes the Festival a catalyst for high-value transactions.
SYF 2026 is expected to feature over 90 yachts, 200 brands, and 13,000+ visitors from across Asia and beyond. But behind the glamour lies a sharper focus: delivering tangible outcomes for exhibitors and buyers alike.
This year’s format has been designed to drive results:
Ultra Experience: An exclusive program that connects qualified buyers with private yacht tours and tailored superyacht events
Superyacht Lounge: An expanded hub for strategic discussions, networking, and family office engagement.
Mariner’s Market: A new zone linking marine suppliers with yacht owners through lifestyle products and essential hardware.
Future of Marine Showcase: Cutting-edge demonstrations of AI, robotics, and marina automation that highlight the industry’s evolution.
To strengthen its role as a business engine, SYF is rolling out pre-event activations across Asia. Roadshows and roundtables will take place in Hong Kong, Jakarta, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur—bringing the Festival to regional buyers before they even step foot in Singapore.
This ensures exhibitors get year-round visibility and deeper client engagement, rather than relying only on the four festival days.
Partnerships with CNBC, Bloomberg, and leading luxury media guarantee that SYF doesn’t just make waves in Asia, it will command global attention. For brands, that means exposure not only to the right audience on the ground but also to decision-makers following the industry from abroad.
Jonathan Sit, Show Director, sums it up perfectly, “SYF isn’t just another boat show, it’s the pulse of Asia’s yachting economy. And in 2026, that pulse is stronger than ever.”
For anyone serious about tapping into Asia’s marine industry, whether as a yacht builder, supplier, investor, or buyer—SYF 2026 is where the future of business on water is being shaped.
