info@easybranches.comMore than 16,000 visitors, 87 yachts and over 150 brands and exhibiting companies descended on ONEĀ°15 Marina Sentosa Cove from 11 - 14 April for the ninth edition of the Singapore Yacht Show (SYS). Glamorous yacht parties, exhilarating watersports experiences, gourmet eateries, bustling bars and show-stopping supercar parades entertained guests for a four-day celebration of the yachting lifestyle. With footfall at a record high, there was a greater contingent than ever - estimated at more than half - of visitors from overseas. |

Most of the principal international yachting brands continue to invest in Asia's only truly international boat show, with longtime supporter Princess Yachts, represented by local dealer Boat Lagoon Yachting, showcasing a 13-strong fleet and three regional premieres. |
With the weather staying fine and the rain holding off, total visitor footfall over the weekend was well up on last year even though there were several other major events happening concurrently - the Singapore Rugby Sevens, the opening of the Jewel Centre at Changi Airport, the Presidential Elections in Indonesia and Songkran festival in Thailand. |
Returning exhibitor Leopard Catamarans, presenting four boats this year, noted an increased amount of interest in sailing catamarans, in particular the newly launched Leopard 50. "While power catamarans are still very popular, we've noticed a big change among our clients, with many of them veering towards the sailing catamarans this year. We are absolutely committed to Asia and Singapore, building the brand strongly in the region." said Kit Chotithamaporn, Regional Manager for Leopard Catamarans. |
Andrew de Bruin, General Manager of Multihull Solutions, the dealer for Fountaine Pajot, reported another successful showing with the sale of three yachts, including one of Fountaine Pajot's Alegria 67 sailing catamarans, which was making its Asian debut. "The Singapore Yacht Show is always a must-do boat show, with a focus on the region's dealers and manufacturers. We put our best efforts into this Show as it has a great track record of delivering the customers and rewarding our big team of multihull specialists," he said. |
Longtime supporter Simpson Marine, showcasing a massive 16-strong fleet - their largest ever display, and a record for any single exhibiting company in the history of the Show - featured two Asian premieres from Sanlorenzo, three from Lagoon and one from Beneteau, as well as displays from Monte Carlo Yachts and Aquila. |
Over at Singapore-based dealer Hong Seh Marine, Executive Director, Edward Tan, commented on the quality of clients visiting the Show. "People are coming to look at a variety of yachts, from the small Boston Whalers and mid-sized Riva Yachts, all the way up to large custom build yachts that we carry from the Ferretti Group. The Singapore Yacht Show draws good quality clientele and it is definitely the place to be for people who are interested in yachting and want to learn more about it," he said. |
In addition to the impressive on-water yacht showcases, show visitors were treated to the revelation of new concepts by some of the major superyacht builders. |
Other major global yachting brands and builders were celebrated at the 15th edition of the Asia Boating Awards held at The Capitol Kempinski Hotel prior to the opening of the Show. Dutch superyacht builder Amels was awarded Best Semi-Custom-Built Yacht (above 120ft) for the recently delivered Volpini 2, while Sunseeker picked up the Best Sportscruiser (above 55ft) award for the Sunseeker 74 Sport Yacht. |
