Singapore Yachting Festival 2026: New Direction for Asia’s Marine Industry
The Singapore Yachting Festival (SYF) returns from 23 – 26 April 2026 at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, with an amplified direction to be the regional platform for business, innovation, and serious engagement across the marine and lifestyle sectors. As the Asia-Pacific yachting market gains global prominence, SYF 2026 is evolving to reflect the region’s rising influence—not just as a growth market, but as a strategic buying centre and a vital bridge connecting global yacht manufacturers with Asia’s investors, dealers, and owners.
The festival is expected to feature over 90 vessels, 200 brands, and attract more than 13,000 visitors from Singapore, Asia and beyond. The showcase will span both land and water, featuring on-water displays, floating exhibition booths, and a dedicated onshore pavilion—offering brands diverse opportunities to activate their presence, showcase innovations, and engage directly with visitors.
“SYF 2026 isn’t just another boat show, it’s the pulse of Asia’s rapidly growing yachting economy. This is where deals are closed, market trends are shaped, and the industry’s most influential players converge. For brands and buyers serious about this market, you cannot miss this!” said Jonathan Sit, Show Director, Singapore Yachting Festival.
As global brands continue to launch their latest products at shows in Cannes, Monaco, Fort Lauderdale and Düsseldorf, SYF has emerged as the definitive Asia-Pacific venue to present these prestigious vessels to buyers and dealers in the region. For many local clients, it is the only time they can view new yachts in person without travelling abroad.
In 2026, SYF goes further, placing more emphasis on real business outcomes, curated buyer engagement, and cross-industry integration through highly targeted zones and experiences.

To build year-round engagement, SYF 2026 will launch a series of round-table sessions and partner events across Hong Kong, Indonesia (Jakarta), Thailand (Bangkok), and Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) offering regional exposure to exhibiting brands and deeper engagement with potential clients and partners before the Festival. Complementing these efforts, there will be collaboration with leading influencers across Asia to create bespoke content from these activations, broadening the Festival’s reach, generating interest, and attracting high-net-worth audiences from across the region.
