This ensures exhibitors get year-round visibility and deeper client engagement, rather than relying only on the four festival days. - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Team < Back Share Why the Singapore Yachting Festival 2026 Is Asia’s Must-Attend Yachting Show Aziza | BASCO Team Sep 4, 2025 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.

That’s why the 2012 Sealine F42 Flybridge Cruiser continues to hold its ground, even in 2025. It may not be the newest model on the dock, but smart design never goes out of fashion. - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Team < Back Share Why the Sealine F42 Still Holds Its Own in 2025 Aziza | BASCO Team Aug 31, 2025 That’s why the 2012 Sealine F42 Flybridge Cruiser continues to hold its ground, even in 2025. It may not be the newest model on the dock, but smart design never goes out of fashion. Buying a yacht isn’t just about getting from point A to point B. It’s about style, comfort, and tech that actually makes life easier on the water. That’s why the 2012 Sealine F42 Flybridge Cruiser continues to hold its ground, even in 2025. It may not be the newest model on the dock, but smart design never goes out of fashion. So, what makes the F42 stand out more than a decade later? Let’s dig in. 1. Joystick Docking Made Simple Parking a 44-foot yacht in a busy marina isn’t easy. The F42’s Volvo Penta IPS joystick controls make it far more manageable. Even if you’re not an experienced skipper, docking feels smoother and less stressful. 2. A Flybridge Built for Social Time Sealine didn’t just add seats up top—they designed a proper gathering space. The flybridge has sunpads, a dining table, and wide views, so it works as a comfortable spot to relax or entertain. 3. Smart Use of Space Every area on the F42 has a purpose. The galley blends into the saloon, cabins are practical yet comfortable, and the aft cockpit connects naturally with the interior. It balances usability with comfort. 4. An Interior That Still Feels Current Large windows bring in natural light, making the saloon bright and welcoming. Even today, the interior design holds up well, with a modern look that doesn’t feel dated. 5. Built with Cruising in Mind Beyond looks, the F42 performs well at sea. With reliable engines, efficient fuel use, and stable handling in coastal waters, it’s a yacht that’s built for time on the water—not just time at the dock. The 2012 Sealine F42 Flybridge Cruiser shows how good design lasts. Features like joystick docking, practical layouts, and the spacious flybridge keep it competitive in 2025.

It may not be brand new, but trust us, this boat still ticks boxes many modern yachts are scrambling to cover.

The saloon is bright with plenty of natural light, and the layout flows easily from one area to the next. Up top, the flybridge offers a comfortable spot to relax, dine, or enjoy the view. She is perfect for spending time with family and friends without feeling cramped. 2. Effortless Handling with IPS Engines Now, let’s talk about engines. The F42 usually runs on twin Volvo Penta IPS 600s, complete with joystick control. Translation? Docking doesn’t have to be your stress test anymore. You’ll slide into tight marina spots like you’ve been doing it all your life. Even first-time owners feel confident with this setup, and that’s a big deal when every second counts at the helm. 3. Built with Style and Substance Sealine is known for combining British design with practical European efficiency, and the F42 reflects that well.

The layout, with comfortable cabins and en-suite heads, makes it suitable for group trips. Whether enjoyed privately or placed into charter, it’s a boat that offers both leisure and business potential from day one. 5. Features That Still Feel Fresh Although this model dates back to 2012, the Sealine F42 continues to offer features that hold up well today. Many are equipped with Raymarine navigation systems, sunroofs, air conditioning, and practical entertainment setups. The galley is designed for convenience, and the lounge seating remains versatile, making the boat a comfortable choice even in 2025. Here’s the kicker.

Whether you’re fishing offshore, cruising with family, or just enjoying a day on the water, this boat adapts to your lifestyle. Here’s what makes it special: One for fishing enthusiasts with dual 10-gallon livewells, and one for family outings with a fold-down rear seat and a 25-gallon livewell. From single 300–400 HP engines to twin 150–200 HP setups, built to give you a smooth and stable ride. Ergonomic seating, Baja beach table, in-deck cooler, entertainment package, and plenty of storage space. Made from Kevlar, carbon fiber, and quad-axial fiberglass to ensure this boat lasts for years. Sailfish’s proprietary Variable Degree Stepped (VDS) hull ensures the ride is stable even when waters get choppy. And with premium engines from Mercury, Yamaha, or Suzuki, you can rely on power and precision whenever you’re out there. Whether your priority is fishing, family fun, or weekend cruising, the 252 Center Console gives you the best of both worlds. It’s versatile, powerful, and built for comfort. Sailfish Boats calls it a “game-changer” for boating enthusiasts, and after looking at all its features, it’s hard to disagree. Credit: Information sourced from Sailfish Boats press release .
